BATAVIA. OCTOBER 15.

• By the latest accounts from the island of Banat
the corps of our troops which were sent against the
d•sirict of Broca Rolla, was quite ready to make
itbr'l master by assault, and without considerable
lvss, of the fortress made there by the rebels of
Leans and other materisls, which was in a troy
position. Contrary winds, and the low
liter thereby occasioned, on the bank of Sam-
on the Palembang River, hindered the
tartest ships from passing over it. At the
nese moon the whole expedition was in good
condition; the smaller vessels were in the mouth of
tbe river, and the larger were to attempt to pass
tie bank at full moon.
