DUTCH MAIL.

Tirs HAGUE, DEC. 28.—The Surinam Courant has
the following article :
" His Excellency the Governor-General having been
authorised to renew the operations of the West India
Bank, which have been suspended ever since 1831, in
respect to the issuing of bills of exchange, according
to directions laid down, the undersigned has been ho-
noured with the commission to announce this joyful news
to the inhabitants of Surinam, through the public jour-
nals. If the difficulties in which our dear mother
country bee been involved for a series of years, are
the cause of great obstacles, yet the interest of the
inhabitants, and the great value of this fine colony,
have never been lost sight of by the mother country ;
and it is certainly a striking proof of this, that, though
the financial .embarrassments of the mother country
still continue, the paternal care of his Majesty has
judged that a petition, founded on justice and equity,
should no longer remain unheard.
" This intelligence may, justly be called important
to us ; his Excellency feeling the deepest interest in the
welfare of Surinam, cordially congratulates the inhabit-
ants, and hopes that the difficulties which have been so
long felt will never return, but that a happier era now
commences for this colony, which may carry to the
highest degree its prosperity and welfare.
" By order of his Excellency, the Commissioners of
the Bank will meet on Monday, the Bth inst., for the
purpose of receiving and issuing bills of exchange at
three months' sight, and regulate the delivery of them
with the Directors, according to the promised forms.
" The Secretary to the Government,
" G. S. DE VIER."

His Majesty being informed that a great many
workmen were out of employ, has given orders that
those who hate numerous families shall be employed on
the new cavalry barracks now building ; and, after
New Year's Day several hundred may have employ-
ment in the Downs, behind his Majesty's country seat,
Gorgoliet, where a field for the exercise of troops is to
be laid down.

The King has given 2,500 florins to the corn and
turf porters of this town towards the expense of a fete
which they intend to have on New Year's eve.
SOURABAYA, AuG.6.—That fatal disease the cho-
lera morbus has appeared for some weeks past in several
small islands in the Indian Ocean, as Lingon, Birtong,
&c., and on board ships coming from those islands to
Java. This disorder is not contageous here, but more
fatal than it was some years ago in Europe, for any one
who is attacked by it in the Indian Archipelago gene-
rally died on the first or second day, so that ships in the
Indian Ocean, which have on board passengers at-
tacked by cholera, seldom bring them alive to Java.—
