BATAVIA, SEPT. 27.—8 y a resolution of the Go-
vernor-General, the harbours of Merado and Kema,
in the island of Celebes, are to be free harbours on the
Ist of January, 1849.
The political state of Java has undergone no change.
The marriage of a Djokjo Prince with a Princess of
Solo occasioned some disquiet, but everything has
hitherto gone off well.

Nothing is yet heard of a fresh expedition against
Bali.

Batavia was visited by a severe shock of an earth-
quake on the night of the 3d, which roused all the in-
habitants from their beds. The tail of the earth-
quake was felt the same day at Bantam.
Immense quantities of rain had fallen in the re-
sidence of Baglen in the beginning of August. The
bridge which formed the communication between the
main lines of Poerworedjo and Kaboemen was carried
away by the consequent inundations, and all inter-
course between those two places was stopped for a
considerable time.

The colonies were in a healthy condition.

of the high rate of exchange: there was a great deal ..f
business and much animation on 'Change to day. The
Belgian funds were much firmer, Spanish improved in
price, Austrian and Russian keep up. South American
and Brazilian were most offered.—Amsterdam Courant,

THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES
The Augsburg Gazette has letters from Bucharest
to the 27th and from Galatz to the 29th October.
The former city is filled with Russian troops, and
even the private houses are converted into barracks
for their accommo;lation, General DUDAMEL in-
habiting the house of the ex-Minister VILLARA,
and General LUDERS the residence of the Bojar Ot-
totelischan. The Russian troops had possession of
that part of the city lying on the right bank of the
Dumbowitza, and the Turkish that on tt.e left.
The entire Russian force amounts to 6,000 infantry
and 1,000 cavalry, and that of the Turkish garrison
is about equal; 25,000 Russians are also distributed
in the circumjacent districts, and on the Siebenburger
frontiers.
In Galatz and Braila perfect tranquillity prevails.
A correspondence from Jassy, under date of the
21st October, states that Prince BIBESCO, the ex-
Hospodar of Wallachia, is at this moment at Fok-
chane, in Moldavia. He was compelled to quit Cron-
stadt, in Transylvania, where he found no sympathy
whatever among the inhabitants of that city,
and still less from the Wallachians, who had
taken refuge there at the same time, in consequence
of the events in the Principality, and who accused
him of all the evils which had fallen upon their
country. The correspondent adds, that the ex Hos-
podar was on the point of setting out for St. Peters-
burgh, for the purpose of obtaining the pardon of
the Russian Cabinet for his deplorable administration,
and of soliciting the support of the Court for his re-
gaining the post of Chief of the Principality.
The Journal de Constantinople says:—"We can-
not understand this step, as the exH-ospodar did nut
quit Bucharest till after he had sent in his resigna-
tion to the Sublime Porte. If he has forgotten
the arbitrary conduct which he has invariably dis-
played since his nomination to the Hospodarate to the
time of his fall, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh will
certainly have a better memory.
FUAD EFFENDI, the Commissioner of the Porte
in the Principalities, is at this moment carrying out
very energetically the instructions which he has re-
ceived from the Sublime Porte. He is using the
most proper means for effecting those ameliorations
and reforms in the country which are called for by
the moral and material state of the nation, and ex-
tirpating the numerous abuses which have taken root
in the administration within the last few years.--
Journal de la Faye.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Letters from Stockholm, of the 12th, state that
the King of DENMARK had agreed to the opening of
negotiations in London for the definitive conclusion of
peace with Germany, on the following basis :—His
Danish MAJESTY proposed either to divide the duchy
of Schleswig, and re-establish the status quo previous
to the war, modified by the union of the provincial
state of the two duchies ; or to give to each of the
two duchies, to Holstein as well as Schleswig, an
absolute independence, with a separate constitution
and administration, so that they shall neither
belong to Denmark nor to Germany, but
merely constitute one state with the former
as respected the succession to the throne and
its relations with foreign countries. This -last ar-
rangement would be preferred by Denmark, and was
believed to have obtained the full adhesion of the
King of SWEDEN and Lord PALMERSTON. Baron DE
PLESSEN, the Danish Minister in St. Petersburgh,
had, it appears, previously sounded the disposition of
the Russian Government, and asked Count NESSEL
RODE if the EMPEROR would sign the projected decla-
ration of guarantee in favour of the indissoluble
union of the Duchy of Schleswig with Denmark, in
case the Government of the French Republic and the
King of SWEDEN should consent to it, notwith-
standing the refusal of England to concur in the ar-
rangement. Count NESSELRODE returned to him an
evasive reply, amounting, however, to a refusal, and
only undertook to assist in effecting an equitable
division of the public debt between Denmark and
Schleswig in proportion to the population of each
country.
