DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, FEB. 26.—Accounts from Batavia, dated
the 31st of December, 1845, brought by the overland
mail, infcrm us that some disorders have taken place
among the people of Bantam,_ which had made it neees-
slry to send a small number of troops. The cause of
this movement is not yet precisely known, but what is
certainly known is, that sixtj persons attacked, during
the night, the habitation of au European proprietor, and
assaulted him, his wife, and -five children, in the most
satage manner. Three of the children were killed. II
is said, that two European keepers were likewise assassi-
nated. The cause of this murder is-supposed to be per-
sonal vengeance. When the mail left, tranquillity was
restored. Another account says Mr:Karriphuis, his wife,
and five of his children, as well tv two European keepers,
or inspectors, had lost their lives—that hardly anything
was stolen—that the Resident of Bantam repaired to the
spot, but was obliged to return, there being a band of
three or four hundred persons—that a few troops were
then sent, which dispersed them, killing 22 of them. The
police arrested a hundred natives suspected of being
concerned in this affair. According to the declarations of
the persons arrested, it would seem that the cause of this
crime was, that Mr. Kampuis had considerably raised the
rent of the rice fields.

At Bandon, in the regency of Preangor, an assistant-
resident had been assassinated by a Chinese; he was
alighting from his carriage ; he received a violent blow
on the head, which caused his death. This assassination
bad no other cause than -personal hatred.
We learn, also, that the public coffers at Riouw had
been plundered by pirates of 30,000 florins.
There had been great inundations in the Presidency
of Baglen Djokjokarta, which -had done much damage
to the bridge and the roads. Many hbuses and numbers
of cattle were swept away, but none of the. inhabitants
had perished.
TUE HAGUE, FEB. 24.—The central section of the
Second Chamber has concluded its report on the project
of law relative to the grant of indemnity to the persons
who had suffered by the military inundations. It seems
that in the section 15 members were in favour and 21
against the grant, alleging that the sufferers had no
right to an indemnity.

-THE HAGUE, FEB. 26.—The central section of the
Second Chamber sat yesterday and to-day, to examine
the several projects of law. It is expected that the
'Chamber will meet on Saturday to receive the report of
the central section on some projects of law, the debates
on which will take place at the beginning of next week.
It is said that the Chamber will be adjourned till after
Easter.

THE HAGUE, FEB. 22.—1 t appears from the preliminary
report of the Central Section of the Second Chamber respect-
ing the project of law .which places the Russian flag on the
same fboting as those of the most favoured nations, that the
States General have received with aatisfaction this proposal,
which gives them an opportunity to concur with the Go-
vernment on a measure which assimilates the Russian flag
to the ila; of the most favoured nations, which- must have

the most advantageous consequence for the commerce and
navigation of the Netherlands, and which is a new step
towards a most liberal system of commerce. Several obser-
vations were, however, made in the Central Section on this
project of law. The Section of the Second Chamber will
meet to-morrow, to continue the examination of the pro-
posal for revising the standing orders of the Chamber.
AMSTERDAM, FEB. 23.—The Stoats Conran: of to-day
contains the additional articles to the regulations agreed to
on the 10th of October, 1836 ; the 12th of September, 1837 ;
the 20th of September, 1839 ; the Bth of July, 1841 • and the
sth of November, 1842, between the Netherlands and France,
relative to the post-office. The chief' subject of these ad-
ditional articles is, that letters originating in the kingdom of
the Netherlands, and destined for the several countries of the
Swiss Confederation;wloiclt are forwarded through France,
may be sent to the post-office of France, pre-paid or not, to
the place of destination ; and, on the other hand, letters from
the Swiss cor'-utries, destined for the Netherlands, may be
forwarded_ through France, pre- paid or not, to the place of
destination in the Netherlands.
ANOVER, FEB. 19.—The following are said to be the par-
ticulars of the negotiations between the Treasury and Baron
Rothschild, respecting a loan of seven millions of dollars for
the railways. Baron Roth,,child, in union with four bankers
of this city, was ready to contract for a loan to the amount of
seven millions dollars at 3} per cent. interest, but at the rate
of 90 per cent., and even this 90 per cent. was not to be paid
in full, but to be reduced by commission, so that the Treasury
would receive 87 or 88 per cent. The Treasury, as we hear,
have rejected these proposals, and broken off the negotiations.
BERLIN, FEB. 19.—(From the Universal Prussian Gazette.)
—The latest accounts from Posen, which are to the lith, in
the evening, say that the province was perfectly tranquil,
and that most of the arrests of persons out of Posen, ordered
on the 14th, had been effected. With respect to the move-
ments of troops, the Geneva commanding in Posen, acting
by virtue of authority previously given him, has given orders
to some of the troops-in garrison at • Frankfort-on-the-Oder, and
the neighbourhood, and in-the environs of Breslau, to march
into the Grand Duchy, and by the certainty of powerful sup-
port to remove the:apprertensien which began to manifest
itself in some places_ among the German population.
