This forenoon we received Hamburgh Tapers, to the
29th ult. and Dutch Papers, to the 4th inst. The latter
contain some intelligence from ilatavia. The Dutch
certainly either make the worst governors; or have the
most untractable subjects, in the world—for they have
always been in perpetual broils with theft colonies.
The following are extracts :
BATAVIA, OCTOBER so.

According to the latest accounts . from Macassar,
received within, these few days, the people of Bona,
who had been long in a threatening position on the
frontiers, being encouraged by the continued resistance
of Soepa, had, a few days after the departure of the
Eurydice from the Macassar roads, 'where she and two
transports left 400 troops, really entered the territory
of the Government, on the side of Maros, and immedi-
ately attacked the Regents of Simbang and Tymana,
erhish had obliged the Government of Macassar to call

i

,in the solitary force of the King or Goah On hlacarm?),
which, according to the treaty, had immediately beeri

put in motion.
The Bona people immediately appeared in great force
dt Pankajene, where Lieutenant Grunwald with thirty
native soldiers held a fortified post. While that Officer
was bravely defending himself, his little powder maga-
zine blew up, and unhappily cle,troyed the whole post.
Thesesident Dorm! who eiercibed the civil authority.
was so fortunate as to escape ifr a small boat the danger
of being taken by the enemy.
The 2d Lieutenant, Gilliam, whO was in Lebakkang
with 25 men, was obliged to yield to the superiority o
the enemy, who were in treaty with the peopl6 of ti e
district, whose assistance was depended upon the de-
fence of this post. The new Regent of Lebakkang has
remained faithful to the Government, and has joined out'
people at Maros against the enemy. The enemy having
advanced to Tanetta, restored the King, who had been
expelled. Our detacluttent of two Officers and forty-five
men, unable to resist tip- enemy, have retutned without
loss to Macassar,on board the Nautilus brig. The Doeng.
Mataro and his brother, who had undertaken to defend
Segeri, were forced to retire. They escaped being taken
by the enemy, and were on their way to Macassar. The
enemy advancing in the plain of M ros to Boelve Le-
pong, were attacked by Major Wachs, with 120 men
and four field pieces, together with the auxiliary troops;
and driven back to Lepong and Semangie.
Boelcomba and Bonthain had not fallen when the last
accounts came away from Macassar (BthOctobe r), but
it was said that the enemy intended to proceed to those
points with a large force.
There is every reason to suppose (as has been stated)
that the total failure of the crops in Dena, is the real
cause of this invasion, by enabling the enemy to collect
so large a force in the hope of getting food in our ter-
ritory, in which they have succeeded in the district of
Maros: but as the crops in Bonthain, &c. were not ripe,
it was hoped the invasion of those parts would be de-
layed, and that the reinforcements already sent thither
would arrive in time.

Letters from Cheribon state, that a few days before
a terrible fire had destroyed sixty-six houses; and many
stables, ke. at Koebang ; another destructive fire had
taken place in the district of Pamancekan.
On the 6:h of last month, Muntok; the capital of
Banta, was almost entirely destroyed by a dreadful
fire. A very high east wind baffled every effort to stop
the progress of the flames; only the Giovernment engines
and a very few houses were saved by the exertions of the
garrison. The native and Chinese population are re.
duced to the greatest misery by this event. The gene-
rosity of the Europeans k exerted to the utmost, and
the Resident has taken-every measure that the circurri-
stances allow.

Accounts are said to have been received in the City
this morning from Bombay. of the sth of January,
stating that Rangoon had been burnt down, with all our
stores in it. The report., however, is not entitled to
much ct edit.
