the 2d September, and the Java Gnzeite of the same
date accompanies them.
According- to a report of General Kock, dated
Magellang, Aug. IS, the rebels had ►nude some
movements on Padang, brit as usual had retreated
on the approach of our troops.. On one occasion
the enemy were pursued by Lieut.-Colonel do Bron
do Vexsla, and had 10 men killed. On all occa-
sions the population has shown itself well diAposed
to the Government, giving information of the ap-
proach of the enemy, and even joining the troops
in repulsing them.

Two caber reports of the General detail some
trifling skirmishes. To the south of Djocjocarta
all was tranquil. In the night of 22d of August,
Lieut. Metzelar had surprised the Tommongong
Poesse di Pectin, in the Dessa Piano, with suc-
cess; he was killed with three Chiefs of a lower
rank, and several others taken prisoners. A de-
tachment of Javanese troops had been suddenly at-
tacked near Samarang by the rebels, who dispersed
it, and took the commander and his brother pri-
soners, both severely wounded. Gen. do Kock im-
mediately sent reinforcements to Samarang. The
European troops from Boehm, who landed at Sama-
rang, arrived at Magellan on tha 24th of August,
and trete going to march to Bagelleen. ,
The auxiliaries from Tialore were already on their
march to join the columns at Tegalwaroe.
The Mary and liillegrmda, Captain Glaze/ter,
which sailed from Rotterdam with troops on the
20th April, arrived at Bata is on the 26th August.

BRUSSELS, DEC. 29.

We hear nothing but general blame of the project
of law presented to the Chambers, to replace the
Decree of 181.5. Men of the most different opinions
equally blame the extent, the vagueness, and the
rigour of its enactments. We hare too ranch confi-
dence in the Representatives of the nation to believe
it possible that it will adopt this now work, which
was probably concocted in the office of his Excel-
lency the Minister of Justice.
The Alfatthieu Laenthurgh gives an account of the
painful impression made on its editors, and on the
inhabitants of Liege in general, by the new project of
law. Among the oi.,srvhtions made by that Journal
is the following paregraph :
" Hitherto we have seen in the Penal Laws the
crimes of insult, defamation, and libel. The Ministry
has not found these terms comprehensive enottith,
and has invented a new crime, viz. :—that of offence
towards public functionaries. We know very well
that the slave is punished by the bastinatio when
he offends his master, but we were ignorant that the
citizens of a Constitutional state had masters whom
they cannot offend without tieing guilty of a crime."

By the French Papers it appears to be de-
cided that the Ministry will propose a new loan
at the opening of the Chambers. What this
loan is far is not even hinted at, but the ex-
peaces incurred by the Expedition to the Mores
will no doubt require some extraordinary re-
sources. The result of the campaign hitherto
will not satisfy the ambition of the French
people, because there has been nothing of any
striking importance to gratify their love for glory.
We should not, indeed, be surprised to find the
Expedition proceed, after the liberation of Greece
is definitively settled by the formal acquiescence
of the SULTAN, to Algiers, and give the finish-
ing-stroke to the rapacity of that nest of robbers,
by retaining possession of the town and coast.
But this movement must depend in a great
measure upon the resumption of warlike opera-
tions next Spring by the Russians and Turks ;
for so lung as the Russians threaten Constanti-
nople, so long, we suspect, will the French
Army deem it convenient to remain in Greece.
The French Papers contain no news of interest.

The Cheshire Anti-Catholic 'Meeting, about
which so much expectation has been raised in
the North, took place on Tuesday last. Instead,
however, of the ten or twenty thous,ind (or per-
haps more) people that had been anticipated, the
meeting barely consisted of one thousand---a
pretty evident proof of the declining state of
Brunswick Institutions in the North. Yet it
was in this very quarter of England that the
Orangemen, not three months since, had ex-
pected to have put forth their strongest forte ; it
was here that they had resolved to rally—and it
is here that they have found themselves mistaken.
The Brunswick Clubs have, in fact, found their
level ; they have been touched by that !dnkl
spear, the com►non sense of England, and have
shrunk into characteristic insignificance. They
opened the campaign as boasters—they quit the
field as cravens.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 25th Dec.
mentions that Lord Cocu KANE is preparing
an expeditiom at Poros, which is to consist of
twenty largo ships, three steam•boats, &c., with
troops on hoard, but its object or degtination is
not mentioned

AUGSBURGII, DEC. 24.
The Courtier de Snzyrne of Bth Nor. has a letter

from Napoli di Romania, which states that Lord
Cochrane is preparing at Poros for a new expedition,
the object of which is not kn9tvn ; it is said, how-
ever, that it is to go to Salonichi, and that its chief
object is to impose a heavy contribution on the
Jewish inhabitants of that place, who constitute
seven-eighths of the population. The expedition
is to consist of three steam-boats, the Hellas
frigate, six gun-boats, and twenty large ships with
troops ; two sloops have taken on board here
a quantity of shells and bombs of the calibre
of the guns of the frigate and the steam-
boats. The desertion of the Palicari in the
camp at Megtra is so great that Prince Ypsilanti
will soon see his army reduced to a few officers, with
whom he may spend the winter at his ease in Napoli.
It is reported at Napoli (this, however, was in the
middle of October) that the Sultan had appointed a
new Pacha of the Morea, and that during the winter,.
when hottilities on the Danube are suspended, this
Pucha set out front Constantinople with 11,000 men
for the Mores, and that he is to be reinforced by
contingents in the provinces through which he passes,
so that, he may have 40,000 men when he enters the
Morea. M. Reyhaud, chief Editor of the Courtier
d'Orient, a Journal that is to appear in Greece, will
be assisted by M. Blaquiere, who arrived with Lord
Cochrane. It is thought that these gentlemen will
remain in the Morea, And write their Journal in the
French camp.

By his Majesty's ship Undaunted accounts
have been received from Calcutta to the 15th
August. The weather continued singularly
unseasonable and unhealthy. The mortality
Among young people and children was very ex-
tensive.

Accounts from Madrid, dated 18th Dec., in-
form us, that for several days previously the ac-
tivity displayed in communications with Portu-
gal had been redoubled. Couriers arrived hourly
from Lisbon or Badajos. The
.Spanish Go-
vernment frequently sent off despatches, the pur-
port of which was only guessed at—namely, the
critical state Of Portugal, in consequence of Don
MIGUEL'S illness, death, or insanity.
It is said that the Spanish Minister of Finance
is forming a project for the establishment of a
New -National Bank at Madrid, different from
that of St. Charles, the operations of which are
expected to assist the Government—and A hint
is thrown out, that the property of the Clergy
will be touched. FERDINAND-may try his hand
at that work, but we apprehend that he will
burn his fingers in the operation. We should
like very much to see him hazard the experiment
—for a fracas between himself and the clergy
might ultimately prove beneficial to the people.

By the French Mail, received this morning,
accounts from Naples, of the 21st November,
state that the Dome of the Church of Tone del
Greco fell in, by which 50 persons, who were
celebrating grand mass, were crushed to' death.
It is singular we should not have heard earlier
of such a catastrophe.

Brussels rapers of yesterday's date have been
received this morning. They contain some ac-
counts from Batavia of the eternal skirmishes in
that quarter, but, as usual, without any definitive
result. The Dutch seem to have got into-41 sea
of troubles, which are never likely to be set at
rest by argument or persuasion, and their force
is not sufficiently strong to compel subjection.
The Project of Law submitted to the Cham-
bers by the Government gives universal offence.
Its tendency is ,entirely at variance with the spirit
of a liberal Government, and seems to be sub-
versive of the little share of freedom hitherto

In another column will be found the reply of
Dr. CU RTIB to the late lettec of his Grace the
Duke of WELLINGTON. The reply, as might
hare been expected, is spirited and satisfactory,
and one which his Grace will do well to take into
his most serious consideration.

Papers from the Cape of Good Hope; to the
6th November, say that a great sensation was
excited there by the discovery of two privates
of the 55th Regiment having been murdered on
their way from Wiltshire to Graham's Town.
One of them was icund hanging from a tree.
