DUTCH AND FLANDERS STAI6.
1114TAVIA. NOV2IIIBER 29.

The fleet under the command of Itesr-Admiral
Wolterbeek, destined far Palembang, to reduce
the rebellious Stilton to reason, was not able tb
114.11 the bleik at the mouth of the river before the
30:h of September. This delay haft a very un-
favourable effect on the issue of the expedition.
The enemy obtained time to strengthen himself,
and the fleet was toot able to proceed up the river
before the 10th of October, after again taking on
I heard cannon. &r. They had to contend with di,:
ficolties of various kinds, occasioned by the rapid
running down of the tide and the shallowness of
the channel sod they had also to guard against the
burning rafts which the enemy sent down the river,
while, at the sante time, on account or the advanced
season, the crews and the troops were exposed, day
and night, to iocessaut rains, and much sickness
prevailed. On the 19th they had get before Pa-
lembang, and passed, on the 40th, the narrow chan-
nel of Saleuan►s, without suffering much injury
from the enemy's batteries. The Sultan seemed
now to be convinced thee the place where he had
tried in 1812 to prevent the advance of the English
was not adapted to the purpose, and had now col•
leered his forces higher up at Gomboro, where he
had taken such a judicious position, that there
really seemed reason to believe that lee was assisted
by people, whose knowledge of the art of war was
superior to hie own. On both tides of the river
batteries were erected, the fire from which crossed,
and these were supported again by floating bat-
teries in the middle of the river. which at this place
too was thickly set with palisadoes that Ito vessels
could poss. The batteries consisted of trunks of
trees, suflici•ntly impenetrable to our balls, and
were also provided with roofs, likewise consisting of
trunks of trees, by which they were covered from all
missiles.

On the 21st a favourable wind gave the ships of
war anqpportunity to take • position at noon. in
the best order, before the enemy's storks, and to
cenuonade them. The firing lasted from twelve
o'clock till four in the afternoon, when the wind
rising obliged the ships to return to their first posi-
tion. In this severe action the vessels suffered
much, especially the Wilke!mina and the ken-
dragt, which received much damage both in the
rigging sod hall. Some of our people were killed,
and some wounded: among the first were Lieute-
nsot de Bruyn, Lieutenant Fabricius, of the navy,
and Lieutenant Repot; among the latter, Caplaiu
Van der Ven.
Notwithstanding the desire of the troops to en-
gage the enemy, tbil owing of the ground rendered
it impossible to torn tie batteriro. On every side
they were stopped by woods, palisades, and mo-
nism.; and the clearing away of the enemy's works
serving to make the bed of the river impassable,
required more time and labour then could be em-
ployed upon it, et that season, and with the in•
creasing sickness among the troops. The Admiral,
therefore, judged it advisable to suspend the opera-
tions for the season. On the 40th of October he
sailed back to the bar of the river, where he arrived
on the 4th instant. The ships of war are to blockade
the river. and the' transports to return hither. as
there is no opportunity at Bakes to supply them
with necessaries. Colonel Bischoff has already re-
turned tither with • part of the Ist regiment.
The difficulty of mooing the bar with large ves-
sels. and the delaying of the operations till the sea-
son was so far advanced. may be considered as the
chief cause of the &Owe of this expedition. The
eneings means of defence were by no means too
sfebt to be overcome by the courage of the Nether-
hinders.
The fleet consirteet of the Admiral Tramp, of
the hoe, the Willeekmina frigate. the Ajax sod
Eendragt moieties; and the Irene brig. The
Galathea corvette has since sailed from here to
Broca, and the Venn. corvette to the Lampongs.

THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONDON.
SATURDAY, Aram e, Mo.

We have received Paris Papers of Tuesday last.
They conceits several extracts from the official com-
munications transmitted by General FOEYRE and
Admiral VILLAVICENCIO to the Minister at Ala-
drid, detailing many of the circumstances that pre.
ceded, accompanied, and followed die cruel mas-
sacre of the people of Cadiz on the 10th of Misch
by the troops composing the garrison of that city.
These dispatcher, so far as they refer to the mists
of the 10th, communicate few, if any, particulars
which we have not already laid before our readers;
they seem to narrate the slaughter of the unresisting
multitude, and the cruel excestses of the soldieiy,
without hesitation nr disguise. and offer neither pal-
liation nor excuse for the wantonness of the out-
rage, but they are in some instances confused, and
even contradictory. It would seem that the people
of Cadix bad, on the 9th of March, displayed much
uneasiness and irritation, and expressed themselves
so freely and unequivocally in favour of the consti.
tution. that General FREVRE, who arrived in Ca-
diz on that day from his liesd.quarters at Puerto
Santa Maria. felt himself under an invincible De•
ceraity of yielding to their wishes. The recognition of
the constitution was. in his own words, " the poly
' means of securing the city from all the horrors of
civil commotion." We must here notice. that in
the Paris Papers there are different versions of par-
ticular passages from FREYIIIOI dispatches, suit Of
we have not as yet seen the original, we cannot de-
termiste to which of them molt faith is due. FAUNS
admits that he made this promise to the people
under a sense of absolute necessity, and prays
that the KING may approve this ineueutioa. to

minutes afterwirds compelled to obey the de-
mand of some of the leaser officers, and cause
the arrest of such officers of the royal corps of Sr.
tellery as were suspected by the loyal gentlemen
of entertaining opinions favourable to the coostitti-
fiat. " I consented to this," says the General,
" seeing that it was the best Ineansof securing their
persons from matroge !" but those whoa few hours
before fired upon the peaceful confiding citizen•,
and reduced Cadiz to the state of a town taken by
stoats, despising alike every feeling of humanity,
and every print iple of military subordination. were
not likely to brook a rr fusel on the port cf their
General, whose hands had scarcely yet resented the
truticheuis of authority. The number of kille,l
and wounded on the 10th exceeded 1,000. and
every house in Cadiz suffered mere or less from
the pillage of the troops. Tranquillity was este-
' blished during the night. but the assassination of
'eyeful straggling soldier, plainly marked the augry
and vindictive feelings of the people.
On the following day the city had nearly ex-
perienced ■ repetition of the outrages that marked
the preceding. One of the inhablisiiis had impru-
dently fired at a soldier, and instantly die gentian
were iu arms; but General CAMPANA succeeded in
preventing a repetition of tl:e disorders.

On the 14th the decree's of the Kiln; of the 6.h
and 7th, announcing his Alsjesty's iMessiissis of
adopting the constitution, were received by
FREVRE, who immediately communicated them to
the gammon ; but hard farik credimus good nos
cotarrots, the troops, while they professed their
rerditiess blindly to obey the Ktna's commando,
could not be induced to believe the authentieit) of
the decrees, and the angry feelings that mutually
eininated the citizens and the soldiers threatened
every mouseat to burst into action. General
VALDEZ. ill • dispatch of the 13th, thought that
▪ rising of the people was ineiitable, but by strong
patrules he succeeded its preventing open violence.

lu the mean time the troops in the lily de Leon,
under QuIRoGA, were rapidly completing some
new works is Runt of the Cortadura, and on the
15th opened a smart fire from a new mortar bat-
tery. Nut until then were the Kteo's decrees of
the 6th and 7th communicated to the coastitu-
tionalists; but their effect, when known, was
instant, and all further hostilities on that side
ceased. The troops composing the garrison were
then ordered to he removed from Cadiz to
the mans land, m►d she I bstialitios were
happily transported to Santa Maria without
encountering any open hostility from the 'asap..
rated inhabitant► of Cadiz. The monicipelity.
freed from their hateful presence, revalued their
usual duties, and on the 23d it was hoprd that the
coortitution would be proclaimed in Cadiz under
circumstances more auspicious than accompanied
their unhappy purpose on tl►e 10th. The coosti.
tistinst was proclaimed in Seville on the 10th with-
out any obstacle, and 0' DONOJI.I, the Governor Or
that city, has been nominated Captain.Generul of
