It. appears by a communication from Sydney,
that the Emperor of CHINA has been roused to
measures of precaution, by the Burmese war. i
A vessel laden with tea, called the Allegheny,
which arrived at Sydney (New South Wales), at
the latter end of last November, from Canton,
brought the Copy of a Proclamation that had been
published in the Pekin Gazelle, of which the
substance has been gi,•en by the Asiatic Society
to the following effect :
The Proclamation purports to be founded on a
dispatch from the Governor of the province of
Yunen, which is on the frontiers of the Burman
empire. In it, the Governor states, that the
Burmese are engaged In hostilities with the Eng-
lish, who have defeated them in several engage-
ments. Ile therefore recommends the immediate
construction of fortifications and towers, by which
tl►e Chinese territory may be protected from vio-
lation, by either of, tho hostile powers. The pro-
cfarnation then an►►ounces the deterinination of
the Istec►tott, to erect a line of fortificationS on
that frontier of thif

It bus"tongs een islo*.n,.th.tt sooner or. later, the
jealousy of the Chineso would he manifested by
some precautionari, measures. That the successive.
approximations of Asiatic possessions to the,
Celestial EMpirei have long been viewed with:
equal disapprobation and uneasiness, is nbto..
rious. Although the. resistance of: the BurMese
may render their subjugation more :difficult than
has been anticipated, nevertheless, the probable re.
sult is, that our Indian territory will beexteuded
to the frontier of China. ItuSsia: at one
point of contact, and the East India Comp.any at
another, the Celestial Empire will have need of
all its sagacity to avoid dfipute.

We regret to find from the s:ydney Gazettes,
that the communications from Hobart Town,
represent that place to be iu a state of great
difficulty from the great scarcity of provisions.
Neither English nor Cape Barley is to be had
for money ; Butter, 4s. per pound ; and. Eggs,
4s. per dozen.

Papers were received this morning at the North
aid South American Subscription Room, from
Sydney (N. S. Wales), to the 4th of October';
Jamaica to the 2d of March ; Rio Janeiro to the
14th of February ; Bahia to the 15th January ;
and from the Cape of Good Hope to the sth of
January.

A Brazil Mail arrived this Diorning, bringing
Rio and Bahia Papers. The Diario Fluminense
of the 4th February contains a Decree, appoint-
ing Theodore Riancardi as Plenipotentiary to the
Congress of Panama. The promptitude with
which the invitation from the Republican Go-
vernments of South America has been accepted
by the Emperor of BRAZIL, forms a striking con-
trast with the suspicious hesitation of the United
States. A proclamation, dated January 31, an-
nounces the intention of the EMPEROR to Visit the
province of Bahia, and the .Fluminenset of the
4th of February describes the departure of his
MAJESTY and his consort, accompanied by the
Princess MARIA DA GLORIA, on the preceding
day. It

counts are said to have been received from Bahia,

were killed. The disputes appear to have origi-
nated between some of the native-born Brazilians,
and individuals born in Portugal. These disorders
do not appear to have led to any political con-
sequences, tranquillity having been perfectly
restored :

JAN'. 31.—(PROCLAMATION.)
Fluminensea*—My wish to be acquainted (if possible), with
all my subjeses, and that they should personally know me, my
conviction. that the dissentions which have taken place in some
provinces (as experience has shewn me in the two which I have
seen) have arisen from my not being acquainted with thelT
wants, so as immediately to provide for them ; and, lastly, my
word given to the inhabitants of the province of Bahia, that as
aoon as the independence of the Empire should be recognised,
I would honour that province with my presence, require that
should fulfil my Imperial • word, by going to that provinces
which I shall do on the 3d of February, to thank them for their
efforts in expelling the Lusitanians.
I leave with you my son, and my three yening daughters.--.
My Minister of State are empowered to transact the usual bu-
siness, and to act on any extraordinary occurrence (which nisy
God avert.)
On the 21st of March 1 shall leave the province of Bahia, in
order to arrive here in time to open our Legislative Assembly,
as the constitution of the empire which governs and will govern
us prescribes.
If a father is bound to provide for the wants of his children,
how much greater is this duty in a sovereign towards his sub-
jects? If I have been among you for the last 18 years t shall
not the Bahians have the right to have me among them for the
short space of one month ? These are incontestible truths, and
they are worthy of such an honour. You know this very wen:
and nobody can doubt the necessity of this my determinations
which is conformable not only to policy but justice. I leave
you with the wish of aeon seeing you again, and recommend
you tranquillity. THE Ball'EitO.R.

from Angier, tilted 15th October, 1825
" The policy pursued by the Dutch in the Ball'
Indies, is a subject of very serious consideration
to this country ;it must eventually involve our
Government in some dilemma with the native
Princes of the East, and compromises even nov,
the
safety ani welfare of our vast dominions in
that quarter if the globe. The miserable coin
dia." of gat beautiful and fertile island

Java, is a fit and apt commentary upon the rum-

sures of the Netherlands' Government, and that

commentary come.s with still greater forCe, when

we compare the state of Java before she was
under the dominion of great Britain, with 'the,
high prosperity she attained when under our 'rule.
Bappy and hid ustriouS;PkroteCtea ih the 'enjeyment
of their property, the Javanese beheld' their con
querors not only without fear, hut with respect
and gratitude ; they prosecuted their labours

in the full enjoyment of security, nor dreamed
of that evil which was approaching when
abandoned by their friends. They would again
be submitted to the yoke of their ancient

oppressors, and be a second time compelled
to endure the tyranny they had formerly
felt, and so happily escaped. The whole
island is now in a state of complete insurrection,

and so powerful are the insurgents, that it is
thought the Dutch will scarcely be able to main-
tain themselves in the possession of the island ;

for it is quite clear that never yet have the
Dutch forces been able to produce any
very sensible effect upon them. In the mean
time, piracy becomes the order of, the day,
and English shipping is considered as much an

object of legitimate plunder as a Dutch vessel,

whilst, however, the Ameriban flag is respected,
and sails in full security, although surrounded by

the Java pirates. " Ho that is not for me is
against me," is a proverb of this part of the globe,
and why not in Asia, the more especially as the

Javanese feel themselves deeply injured by the
Enlist', deeming the cession of the island to the
Dutch a shameful and disgraieful desertion.
" But not only in this respect is there cause to
complain of the proceedings of the Dutch in the
East: they even carry their audacity higher, and
presume to set at nought the express stipulations
of their treaties with us. By the 6th article of
the Treaty, dated 17th March, 18'25, it is agreed
that orders shall be given by the two Covern-

ments to their officers and agents on the
East, not to form any new settlement on any of
the islands in the eastern seas, without previous
authority from their respective Governments in
Europe. In the face, however, of this very
article, the Dutch have receatly formed new
settlements in the free no independent island
of Netts, and have hoisted their flag there, even
since our possessions in Sumatra were transferred
to them ever since April, 1825. As if, however,
to display their utter contempt for the British
Government, they have gone further, and have
actually proceeded to blockade the native ports
of Massang and Teettgang, under the very con-
venient pretext that thest all their possessions
-would be in a line. Suinatra.has been abandoned
to them, together with the town and fort,and Ma-
lacca, and the factory at 13eticoolen in exchange,
for an alleged right (but.which right never could
be established) to the island of Singapore;' and
they now avail themselves of this to graspat every
thing, saying that the English care not for their
proceedings in this quarter, language which
Dutch Governors repeat on every occasion, and
we may add with apparent reason. Our people
in the East say that MYNIILER FALK has cajoled
Alessi's. CANNING Mid WYNNE.
" The waris still raging with unabated violence
in Java, and the Dutch glad to take ad-
/antage of any opportunity afforded them,
tlitrefore promulgate, in high sounding terms,
tbe*.r late successes over the SULTAN Soco. A
Vera religious silence is, however, observed
as to the reverses they experience, but which
are no less disastrous than frequent ; so
much so indeed, as to render it doubtful whe-
ther Java will remain a Dutch possession,
Not a day passes without some new act of oppres•
sion. Every thing is taxed but air, and a mono.
.poly in the trade of necessaries as well as the
luxuries of life, is secured to Government
'agents, by farming the right of selling them.

Business was in a languid state, and. entirely li-
mited to the demand for immediate consumption,
but money was extremely abundant, and dis-
