FLANDERS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 16.—1 n a preceding number we
have spoken of the proclamation of his Excellency
the Commissioner-General to the inhabitants of
Java. The following is a translation of this docu-
ment, just published in the Batavian Gazette of the
6th of October
" In the name of the King, the Viscount Leonard,
Dubus tie Gisignies, Commissary-General of the
possessions of the Netherlands in the East Indies :
" To the People of Java,—Two years have passed
since the deplorable war broke out, in consequence
of which so many fine parts of the residences of the
Sultans have been ravaged, and of which so many of
your countrymen have been the victims.
" It is with grief and compassion that we see this
war continue, because we love the Javanese people,
and we desire nothing more than to live as in the
times of our ancestors in tranquillity and peace. A
great part of you, listening to the voice of a mutinous
priest, have taken arms against their lawful prince
and governor. They cherished the chimerical idea
that religious worship was in question. See what
has become of most of those unhappy people ! They
have been obliged to quit their homes and their
domestic relations; driven from place to place, they
wander as fugitives in foreign lands, where they must
procure the necessaries of life by rapine and pillage,
and for the most part die a cruel and miserable
death : their houses are destroyed; their fields laid

waste. Look, on the other band, at your countrymen
who, submissive to the legitimate authority, have re-
mained quiet. They have not ceased to enjoy do-
mestic happiness ; they have the protection of the
chiefs and of our warriors; they preserve the entire

_ _ .....
liberty of their religious worship; their plantations
of rice are cultivated at the regular periods ; they
are in prosperity, and have abundance. It would
not have been difficult for us, by means of our own
force, and it would have been still less so, supported
by the efficacious assistance of the Great Emperor
of Socracarta as of our faithful Allies the Sultans of
Madura and Sumanah, to reduce the insurgents and
to punish their rebellion ; but we have spared them,
because we love the Javanese people, and because
most of them had been misled by their insti-
gators. It is for that reason, and solely out
of love to the nation, and attachment to the
country which it inhabits, that very recently, when
a considerable force was ready to crush the party
of the insurgent, we gave to Krai Modjo, who ap-
peared to have placed himself at their head, are op-
portunity to .make peace, and' to return to obedienee, •
and to spare the lives of so many unfortunate people;
but it is now notorious, and all the people of Java
ought to know it, that the priest Krai Modjo has
desired to act, not for the cause of religion, but for his
own sake,—not for the interest of the Javanese, but
of himself,—by making demands which we never
could have granted without humiliating all the Sul-
tans, the great men, and the priests of Java, and
violating the precepts of your religion. And as it is
far from us to do or to suffer any thing which may in-
jure the faith of your ancestors, as well as the honour
and dignity of your Princes, the great men, and the
priests, we are therefore obliged to recommence the
war, and to punish that rebel. But it is against him
alone and his adherents that the attacks of our troops
will be directed. You, too, who have remained
under the legitimate authority, and you, also, who
return to it, as well as so many others of your coun-
trymen who have acknowleged their errors, and come
back to their Prince and Sovereign,—you will all be
considered and treated as friends and allies, by our
troops; and all those who shall come to submit to
their Prince, and place themselves under our stan-
dards, may depend upon faithful and continued
protection.

c' Thus, then, all you who have at heart the pro-
sperity of your country, the fate of your wives and
children, and the maintenance of your religion, are
called upon to join the banners under which we fight
for your country, your relations, your interests, and
the peaceful maintenance of your religion. And the
God Qf us all,—the God of armies,—the God of
peace, will second our efforts.
(Signed) " Viscount DUBUS de GISIGNIES.
" Salatiga, Sept. 26, 1827."
FRANKFORT, JAN. 14.—The convocation of the
States-General of Prussia is spoken of more • than
ever. The Provincial Assembly of Posen having
terminated their first session, all the Diets of the
Prussian provinces have now met. Private letters
from Berlin affirm that this subject has been again
brought before the Council of. State.—Brussels
Papers, Jan. 19.

Thursday night the entire City was enveloped
in darkness—the prospect rendered, if possible, more dreary
by the inclemency of the atmosphere. This unexpected
occurrence was attributable to the derangement of part of
the machinery in the Gasometer, the purifier having be-
come corroded.—Limerick Paper.
CITY—SATURDAY EVENING.—A List of
the Ministry has been published this afternoon as the au-
thentic one, which gives the office of Chancellor of the
Exchequer to Mr. GOULBURN, that of Home Secretary to
Mr, pEr 1., the Board of Controul to LordMELvtu.r, and the
Mint to Mr. Irlxanins. In other respects the arrangements
do not materially differ from the list which we gave yes-
terday. So far as we Lave been able to collect public opi-
nion in the City, we must say, without pretending to give
an opinion of our own on the subject, that the preceding
Ministerial arrangement is by no means popular. It is
true that some of the great capitalists appear to be satisfied
with it, but even they say, that several of the arrange-
ments will be only temporary. No one,
whether Whig or
Tory, appears to like the idea of the Duke nfWzr.r.nraTox
being Premier and Commander-in-Chief. The Whigs, in
particular, are highly indignant at these two Most import-
ant offices in the State being held by, one individual. They
designate the Duke as Civil and Military Commander-
in-Chief--and say, with the Army at his beck, his
Grace's Government will indeed be. a "strong" ODD-
But there is one appointment which leads people to doubt
the authenticity of the list. No one can believe that Mr.
GocLutr itN is gie Chancellor of the Exchequero3r that Mr.
HERRIES would have given way to make room for an indi-'
vidual who nine be infinitely less qualified to fill the office
than himself.
Then, again, the alleged appointment of
Lord MELVILLE, though not considered improbable, seems to
meet with the approbation of scarcely any body. -It is said,
that though the Dukeof WELLINGTON Will be Premier, yet
he will not trouble himself with 'any but the mare itnport-
ant duties of the office; the details of business be in-
trusted to Mr. PEEL. '1 he patronage, however, it is added,'
will be entirely at the disposal of his Grace. If this be
true, the Duke of WELLimu'row,as Commander4n-Chief and
Premier, will be the most powerful man in the nation with
respect to patronage,. the King himself not excepted. It
is reported that Lord LONDONDERRY will be Lord Lieute-
nant of-Ireland.—Morniny Herald:
