SEOSI THE COLUMBIAN REPUBLIC, AUGUST 25.

The Oronoco Courier contains a long official article
on the distribution of the Public Lands; it consists
of fourteen articles, and determines the portion of
land which every officer, non-commissioned officer,
and soldier is to have. The Government of the Co-
lumbian Republic have determined that every male
shall become a land proprietor, and the land is
bestowed without charge to the individual. The
Convention for forming a new Constitution, in the
Representative form, will assemble at Cucula, on the
Ist of January, 1821.

The Commandant of the frigate Andes informs
the Genetal commanding at Choco, that the Repub-
lican troops had attacked the Royalists, commanded
by Balveide, in Guapy, Trombequi, and Zaiga, and
after having taken their Commandant and many
prisoners, put them to the route: the President, who
had been preparing a flotilla, had left with a small
party of horse in the night, on some new expedition.

Great is the general anxiety to anticipate, if pos-
sible, the sense of the House of Commons on the
late proceedings. Both Houses meet on the 23d
of this month, when discussions highly interesting
may be expected. What will be the conduct of
Parliament? What the conduct of Ministers when
so assembled ?—None can answer this question. No,
not even the Ministers themselves.

The following is an extract of a letter from Ports-:
mouth, dated the 9th inst.-4, Last night arrived in
Cowes Roads the American ship Bengal, 95 days
from the Straits of Sunda ; she left lying in Sama-
rang Roads the ships Claudine and Malabar, for Eu-
lope, the latter to sail about the middle of August.
The country ship Georgiana, WORTHINGTON, left
Tangier, for the Isle of France and Liverpool, the 2d
of August. The Dutch Expedition against Palem-
bang left Batavia on the 31st of July, consisting of
one 71 ram, one 60 gun-ship, three frigates, nine
ship-sloops, about 100 gun-vessels, and a large pro-
portion of flat boats, to disembark troops—a number
of British, and other vessels, had been taken up to
transport troops, stores, &c. The Dutch, having been
twice before defeated, doubts were entertained at
Batavia of their success, particularly as it was well
known the Rajah of PALEMBANG was well prepared to
receive them. The Dutch, from want of energy or a
sufficient force, had allowed the pirates to go so long
unchastiscd, that their ships and settlements, as well
as ships of other nations, were suffering every indig-
nity. The Malays were now so daring, that they
fitted oat single prows of large dimensions to attack
European ships ; formerly they never thought of at-
tacking unless a large fleet of their own prows were
in company. On the Bth of June the Dutch ship
Samarang, Captain JAGERS, was attacked on the
n);th side of Java, to the east of Samarang, by a
pirate prow; the successive attacks lasted four hours,
during which the Samarang lost her Captain and
one seaman killed, the chief mate and ten seamen
wounded ; however, as night came on, the pirate was
obliged to lay-to to repair damages, but with every
intention of re-attacking in the morning, when fortu-
nately two sail coming in sight, the pirate made off.
The Samarang's crew consisted of the Captain, Mate,
Mr. John Gransden, a passenger, and SI Malay sea-
men, who behaved extremely well. The Samarang
mounts six six-pounders, besides swivels and small
arms. A report was prevalent at Batavia, that a
British sloop of war had been thrice attacked in the
Straits of Sunda, by a fleet of the Malays' largest
prows, and had lost 49 men in killed and wounded,
hut had gallantly beat off the pirates. Our informant
could not learn the name of the British ship. On the
17th of August, in lat. 17.49. S. long. 68.31. E.
spoke the Georgiana. There were four outward-
hound East luuiamen in Tangier Roads, when the
