AMSTERDAM, FEL 4

Tux last letters which we have received from
Batavia mention, that the, mortality has by no
means been so great within these last three, as in
the former years. The Governor-General ofaitch
India-, Citizen OVERSTRAATEN, is incessantly em-
ployed in cutting canals through the morasses.sit.uat_
ed near the City and. the Cattle, to receive the
standing water, and to enable it to discharge itself
in the rivers, and even in- the sea. By this means,_
those morasses, which have hitherto beeh only the
haunts of every kind of pernicious inserts and'ser-
pents, will shortly be converted to _fruitful pas-
tures,
Our Government, in order to meet the pressing
exigencies of the State, has, within these few days,.
sold- r 5 million pounds of coffee, now lying in Ba-
tavia, to the Merchants of this City and of Rotter-
dam '; among whom a subscription for this purpose has
been opened. Three-fourths are subscribed for in this
plaCe, and one-fourth in 'Rotterdam, an eighth of
which has been purchased' by in English-Merchant,
at present in that City, and"lately• arrived from
London. The whole purchase-money- amounts to
three millions of florins (4.J4.-per lb.) ; one million
to be paid immediately, the other in Batavia, and
the third on the return of the ships ; thirty of which
are to be fitted-out by and at the expence of the
subscribers, with the liberty, however, of an out-
ward freight ; this, it is conjeaured, will turn to
good account,- as all the Company's warehouses in
that quarter of the world are at present empty.—
This amazing quantity of coffee (which, it is esti-
mated, will cost the subscribers gd. per lb. home)
is to be lodged in the Company's warehouses on its
arrival, to be sold in the usual form, and the pro-
' ceeds, after a deduaion of two per cent. for the
Company, to be delivered to the subscribers. It is
said that ships will be taken up in England for this
expedition, most of our large vessels having either
been captured in the course of the war, or suffered
to rot in port.
In consequence of the late very serious affray be-
tween the Jews and the military of the Colonial
Troops, the.:Magitracy.of this City have resolved
" To request thp:Goverprir)ent of State, by letter,
that they svouldiminediately. pass a decree, giving
said Magistracy the power of disposing of the City
garrison in cases' of emergency ; and give the Com-
mander the said Garrison the necessary orders to
that end."-:
