paper in specie or Bank of England notes on demand,
this being the only check orl his issues. Thinking,
therefore, that increased security, whether by an unli-
mited number of partners, or by any other mode, will
not have a tendency to diminish the issue of Country
Bank paper, but quite the contrary, to increase it
by withdrawing one of the greatest checks by which it
is now kept within bounds, we deprecate the projects
which are said to be in contemplation, for legislating on
this subject at all. The question, however, is of the
highest importance, and demands a more lengthened
discussion, into which our limits will not at this moment
permit as to enter.

DATAVIA.

The follhssing is an extract of a letter from a Gen-i
derma at Batavi., to a friend in London, dated Sep-
ternh”r :-1 %%rite to relieve you from any anxiety
on my accout,t, as the bad accounts from this island,
wraith the in e.ent ships will take to Europe, may excite
uneas•ne• s. You will learn, that for some months past
a c. n.idcra ie part of the Eastern districts had been in
x.rt4te ol rebellion, the flag of Mahomet raised, and
destructii.n vowed against all unbelievers. The in-
surgents attacked the garrison of Djoca Karts several
times, though without gaining any advantage; stopped
tf.r cPmmunications on the road (which, however, a
few Hussars soon restored), and robbed a Government
escort of a considerable sum of money. They assem-
bled in large force near Samarang, and the militia of
the district were ordered to attack them. The Dutch
force which left Semarang for this purpose, consisted
of about 120 foot (militia), forty or fi ty seamen, and
twenty-four or twenty-six Gentleman, formed into a
company of malty, mounted on the small horses of
the island, and I bel.eve a few pieces of artillery. On
coming in view of the enemy, the Dutch Commander
ordered the Gentleman cavalry to advance to ti .e
attack; they obeyed, but oM owing ter ttte nose of the
musketry, &c. their horses took fright, and fell back
on the infantry, which threw them all into confusion;
the cons. quence was, that the Javanese gained ..a
complete victory, as out of the Dutch force not
above forty returned alive to Samarang. I am
truly sorry to say, that seven Englishmen fell (being in
the c Peaky) ; their names are—Glatton, Agent to Ad-
dison and Co. Robert Burrows, Arnt to Thompson and
Co. and others; Cameran, M‘Master, Hammond, and
Willis, all acting for Batavia houses ; and a Captain
Lindsay. Mr. Bremner, Agent to Macquoid, Davison,
and Co. escaped by a miracle. The truth is, that the
system of tyranny pursued by the Dutch since they
again got possession of this fine Island has driven the
natives to desperation, otherwise no cry of unbounded
Ma'romedanism would have roused them to such a state
of hostility: they are in tact anything but warlike.—
We yesterday heard that the insurgents had not pur-
sued their advantage, but that great part of their force
had retreated, and that an embargo which had been laid
on the shipping in the harbour of Samarang was removed.

Various rumours hive been in circulation for some
time, that it was in contemplation to augment the Bri-
tish Army; we are, however, enAbled to state. from a
source entitled to the highest credit, that there is no
foundation for such reports.

The Catholic Association met again on hiondAy, in
Dubi n, Sir EDWARD Bzu.aw in the Chair. The busi-
ness
commenced with reeding letters from the Dukes of
LEINSTER and bUCEINGUAIII, and the Marquisses of
LANSDOWN and Downswing, declining the invitation
to the dinner. Lord KaLans read the resolutions of
the Catholic Prelates, on the subject of. education.
They declare—
That a system of educados which includes Protestant and Ca-
tholic children is admissible, where the religion of the Catholic
children is sufficiently protected. -
That the masters should be of the religion of the majority of the
pupils; and in schools where the minority only arp Catholic, there
should be a permanent Catholic assistant.
That books of religious instruction for the Catholic children be
approved by the Catholic Prelates; and that books for common
literary instruction should not be used, If. excepted to by them.
That the property in schools should not be transferred.
That there should be a model school hr each province; the mas-
ters not to be trained in the schools of the Kildare-place' Society

That the Catholic Prelates feel it their dui to withhold their
concurrence or sdpport from any system of education not in com-
plete accordance with the ptintiples expressed In these Resolutions.
Mr. O'CONNELL then brought forward his moiler.
for the appointment of a Committee to prepare a Peti-
tion to Parliament, praying the :otal abolition of the
Charter School Society, and that the funds might be
applied to other uses. The motion was agreed to, and
the meeting adjourned. The new Association evidently
excites very little interest, even In Irel.ind.

This forenoon we received German Papers to the

sels Papers to the 25th. They contain some accounts
from St. Petersburg!), which we subjoin. The reference
to the Revolution, and the news-boys in London, we con-

FROM THE PRUSSIAN FRONTIERS, JAN. 11.

The tumultuous scenes at St. Petersburgh on the 26th, 1,
on the taking the oath to the Emperor Nicholas I.

cumstantially in the Berlin State Chaette, that the no.

and some other agitators in civil costume. It was not

they were fired upon with grape shot, end the Horse
Guards ordered to charge. General Miloradowi.sch
was shot before the front, as he was mounting his horse;
the voice of the Archimandrite, who appeared with the
crucifix, was drowned in the uproar and incessant cries
of " Lrt the Grand Duke Nicholas live, but let
the Emperor Oinstantine reign," which were uttered
by the continually increasing multitude : some of
the artillerymen at the eight guns which had been
brought up, were wounded by the rebels; the new Em-
peror, repeatedly exposing himself to the greatest dan-
gers, had attempted to overcome the obstinacy of the
mutineers, and to convince them of their error in fan-
cying that the renunciation of Constantine was a fiction,
till at length a discharge of grape shot killed some
hundreds of them. About 40 Officers were attested and
confined in the f, mess, among whom there are cer-
tainly young men of the oldest houses.
The last courier, who lett St. Petersburgh on the 30th
December, brought a long letter from t!ie Empress
Alexandra to the King of Prussia; he further left the
capital on the Neva, in profound tranquillity, and the
most satisfactory accounts were hourly received from
the Southern Governments, where entire corps of the
army, for instance, the 2d, under Count Wittgenstein,
had taken the oath with great enthutiasm to the Celia.

Grand Duke Constantine had acted a few days only in
St. Petersburgh as Emperor, and then abdicated, the
malcontents and intriguers would have been deprived
of every pretext, and many lives would have been
spared ; but who can decide whether this measure would
not have bad a precisely contrary effect, even if the
health of the Grand Duke Constantine, whose suffer-
ings are not to be described,had permitted its adoption ?
