TILE LATE 1110T1NY 1N JAVA.

Mention has been made in a recent Indian mail
of the revolt of the Swiss troops dismissed the ser•
vice of the Papal Government after the affair at
Perugia, and then enlisted by the Dutch authori-
ties to guard their settlements in Java. The fol-
lowing particulars of the occurrence have now
come to hand:—

" From some cause or other disagreements arose
between the Dutch and the Swiss soon after their
arrival, and in a short time a wide-spread conspiracy
was formed,which included several of the native races.

It was arranged by the mutineers that the garri-
sons of Samarang, Ambavava, Djocijicarta, and
Sourabaya should revolt simultaneously on the 18th
August last, while at the same time the natives
should make an attack on the Dutch at Amonthay.
A Swiss soldier, who, it would appear, was at the
head of the revolt in Semarang, sent a tele-
graphic message to another Swiss at Ambavava
containing the words About twelve o'clock.' The
telegraphic clerk thought this looked very suspi-
cious, and did not forward the message to its des-
tination, but mentioned the matter to his comman-
dant, who, on his part, instituted an investiga-
tion as quietly as possible, and, learning what
was contemplated, on the evening of the 17th
August he caused the barracks at Semarang to
be surrounded and sent three regiments to
Ambavava. The mutineers were soon quieted at
Semarang, only four men being killed and
some others wounded ; but at Ambavava a
mere serious struggle took place between the•
Swiss and the troops faithful to the Govern.
ment, for the former defended themselves
in their barracks as long as their ammunition
lasted, and great numbers were killed, including
many people who passed the barracks on their way
to seek protection by leaving the town and fleeing to
Samarang. As soon as the revolted Swiss had ex-
hausted their ammunition they were compelled
to surrender, but they were only allowed to leave
the barracks two or three at a time, and without
weapons; and whenever they reassembled in any
numbers, they were at once fired upon. A court-
martial soon afterwards sentenced 35 of the muti-
neers to be hanged. On the next dky court-martials
were held in all the garrisons, and it is believed
that many of the native princes are proved to be
concerned in the conspiracy."

bridge Infant." It has been ascertained that Paddock's_rf
