ESCAPE OF MIRTEEN CONVICTs FRoM VAN

DIEMAN'S LAND.-Letters from Batavia to the
2Cih of July, received yesterday, communicate
the following particulars respecting the escape of
13 Convicts from Van Dienian's Land, and their
subsequent arrival at the Island of Java :—" Ad-
vices were received at Batavia on the sth of July,
from Anjier, stating that five persons had arrived
there in a jolly-boat, much exhausted from row-
ing and exposure to the sun. They described
themselves as the third mate and four seamen be-
longing to the ship Suffolk, Smith, mas-

er, bound from London to Batavia, and wnieli

they reported to have suffered. shipwreck on
Christmas Isiaud. They added, that the master
and chief mate had escaped from the wreck in

the long-boat ; that some of the crew had been
drowned, and, that the ship eventually had
gone to pieces. On the 9th of July suspicions
Were excited that the whole of the tale told by
these men was a fabrication ; an►i this suspicion
was shortly after confirmed by an investigation
set on foot for the purpose. It then appeared, on
the confession of one of the men, that they be-
lunged to a party of thirteen convicts who had
made their escape from Van Dieman's Land. This

hey effected by se:zing On a schooner belonging
Messrs. Howard and Birch, of flob4rt's-town.

The person describing himself as third male of the
and who gave his name John Brown, was
the ringleader of the undertaking : his real name
was Daniel Clarke, a notorious chief, who %vas
iron>ported for life. It seems to have been
their original intention to bail for South Ame•
ricif, but tailing short of provisions, and differ-
ences arising amongst theM, they made for Java ;
four of them were set on shore on the southern
coast of the island, and four others at Grisse,
a port near Sonrabaye. Clarice and his party, as
betore mentioned, arrived at Anjicr, after having,
as is supposed, lost the schooner in which they
escaped trom Hobart's-town. Of the convicts,
nine were in custody, bur there being no British
Autholily resident at Batavia, it was expected
tl;ey would be sent to the nearest settlement under

dial. flag, to be disposed of as 'pistil be judged
proper.- (Mornii% Vdper.)

"General Tarayce, Deptity Infr.
rrieure, appealed *on Friday before the Juge
'struction, he having been summoned as a witness

Liberty of the Press. The General declined to
answer interrogations, on the ground that the
Charter guaranteed the inviolability of the resi-
dence of every person, who was not compellable
to disclose any thing respecting any meeting of
his frientk there, and he, refused to acknowledge
the competency of the tribunals to take cogni-
zance of acts which, he contended, were innocent,
no law applying to them tinder the Charter. He
persisted iu refusing to answer, and the process
verbal was closed,
