An American ship, the Pactolus, has arrived
at Cowes from Batavia, after a passage of 103
days. The papers and letters brought by this vessel
were received last might at the North and South
American Coffee-house. Their contents are highly
important, as regards the Dutch possessions in
Java. An insurrection of the natives had broken
out in the neighbourhood of Surnarang. Many
of the Chinese had been killed, and a number of
► ice and coffee plantations destroyed by the natives.
En several actions, the insurgents had been success-
ful,and the whole European population were called
out to perform duty. The following are extracts
from private letters received by a mercantile
house extensively connected with the Island of
Java :--

It is said that the New Dutch Company who were alleged to
have no exclusive priVileges are to have all the Government
Coffee for twelve years to come, at 23 rupees, according
to agreement with the Government at home. This, if
true, is a heavy blow against
_the property of these Colo-
nies, inasmuch as the means of remittance, already too
small, will be reduced in the proportion of two fifths,
and our Ooyernment here condemn the measure much,
but they are deep in debt with the mother country,
and this perhaps has been found the only means of
liquidatin7, it, witout duly attending to its consequences. No
doubt they will next have a monopoly of the tin of Banca,
and the spices of the Molucca, his Majesty being the chief
partner of the Company. •
By a publication, dated the 29th ult. vessels having gun..
powder and arms on board as part of their cargo, destined
for other ports, are no longer liable to be sent away without
being permitted to land any cargo, as hitherto been the case ;
but they are to be permitted to land, and ship-cargoes, like
any other vessel, only taking away with them those contraband
articles.

BATAVIA, AUG. 80.

The insurrection in the Coffee Districts in the centre of the
Island being more sesious than was at first apprehended, the
insurgents having hitherto received no check. The absence of
most of our troops on fruitless expeditions against the Bugges at
Macassar and otherwise, excites some uneasiness, so that
the Militia are called out and put in training. From this
duty foreigners residing here are not exempted. We look
