711 E MALAT STATES.

ACCOUNT OF THE POLITICAL MISSION TO ONE OF THE
MALAY STATrs, AND TAKEN EY ORDER OF THE GO-
VERNMENT. OF JAYA. I) 1813, NY AN OFFICER IN
1113 MAJESTY'S SERVICE.

You 'May have heard that soon after the fall of
Java, the Government directed its attention to the
Malay States.
The Dutch had preserved a certain influence at
their Court, which never rose to authority, and their
sudden downfal induced a persuasion that all Euro-
pean power was as precarious. They sought inde-
pendence, and incurred misfortune. Before the
Sultan of Djocjo Karta was dethroned by a success.
ful effort of our arms, Ambassadors had been sent
to the Sultan of Palimbang, who declined to receive
them; There was something mysterious in their
treatment of them, and it at length appeared that
the Uutch garrison had been secretly murdered.—
Qeoeral Git.Lesent embarked soon after with a.re-
erctable force, to reduce the Sultan to an acknow.
kdgment of the British power. The Sultan fled
from his capital, and declining to trust himself in the
hands of the English, his brother was raised to the
Throne. He remained an outcast with many adlie-
swats, established defensive positions, and kept ali,ve
civil war in the country. One attack was made on
him, but the Commanding Officer, Major MEARES,
Was killed, and he escaped. At length; after fourteen
months of civil war, he was brought back by the
Resident, restored to the Throne, his brother being
deposed, but left in the joint administration of the
Government till the Authorities in Java might pro.
V;ounce their decision, To displace one of these
ings, to settle the other, and restore the country to
tranquillity, was the duty I was deputed to perform.
I left Batavia' on the 4th of August, as Political
Agent of Government, acting under the advice and
superintendence of a Commission, being the Corn.
Islander of a joint expedition, sent to ensure the tran-
quil accomplishment of the object of Government.
We landed at Merito, on the island of Banca, on.
the 10th. This dreadful climate has been a grave to
our troops—one season had swept of two thirds of
its garrison, and the remainder were looking forward
to its return in September with anxiety. &me per-
son; beluiging to the expedition, and who had sus-
tained the fever last year, actualiy relapsed on coming
within the influence of its atmosphere again. Hiving
concerted measures, we left this wretched climate,
which is a most beautiful romantic spot, and crossing
the streights, entered the Palimbang River on the'
12th. The town is situated about eighty miles inland.
Every nerve was strained, every precaution observed,
to take it by• surprise; and after incessant toiling at
the oar, we entered at midnight of the 13th, unob-
served arid unexpected. Rumours had got abroad of
the appearance of ships, and messages were sent down
by boats, but all had been detained, and we an.,
pounced our owa arrival. The service was in fact
accomplished—the troops were posted to watch the
avenues of the Fort, when I sent to acquaint the Sul-
tans with the occasion of our coming, and to fix the'
following day for declaring to them the decision of
Government. The morning was ushered in peace-
;ably! though wonder and astonishment pervaded all
teaks, on day-light discovering to them a number of
armed boats. The day advanced. The Stamm of the
Sultans, or Fort, is bn the right bank of the river, the
Dutch Factory (which had been razed) opposite to it
on the left. The Sultans were all anxiety, but the
shier appeared most impatient to know the result.—
He sent over his brothers and childrer, whose counte-
limes u spoke unutterable things." When all was
prepared, the troops accompanied us over, ostensibly
Asa guard of honour to the Hon. Captain amen.
The Old SULTAN received us cn landing. His
heart beat high ; the fate of a kingdom with his own
bung upon a word, and be would have given king-
doms to have heard it. The manners and person of
this Panics are elegant; his addtess captivating.—
The other appeared obscured, Waning none of
*Moe fivell hopes, although perhapb feeling them in
au ma) degree. We were ushered' into a ball of,
audience, seated in form, and immediately surrounds
