BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER CI.
Hitherto we know nothing with certainty respect.
ing the dismissal of the Commissary-General of War,
' but we regret extremely to have to relate all the ru-
mours which circulate on that of his Royal Highness
fire Hereditary Prince. •
The following ere what appear most probable to
sic. Every one knows that his Royal Highness is
charged with the direction of the War Department.
M. Golz was placed under him, with:the title of
Commissary-General.
It is said that M. Golz submitted to .the King a
plan concerning the officers on half-pay ; that the re-
sult of this plan was, that forty-two of those officers,
who were worthy of recommendation from their dis-
tinguished services, and who, on that account, bad
been particularly recommended by his Royal High-
ness, were placed at the disposition of the Colonial
Minister, to be sent to Batavia: That the Prince
considered this mode of placing them on active ser-
vice inconsistent with the protection and kindness he
had manifested towards them : That it appeared to
him, if he had the supreme direction of the War De-
partment, it was but common decorum to ask his
opinion, and that M. de Golz had entirely failed in
that respect.
is said, that, in consequence, be has entreated
te.K;ng, as a favour, that he may have no more in-
tercourse with M. de Golz, by his Majesty giving a
dismissal to one or the other.
Ir is added, that the King desired to seethe Prince,
to give a verbal explat:ation upon the, subject; but
that the latter, fearing he should hesitate between the
dictates of Loaour and his respectful affection fur his
Majesty, entreated that he would take his request
into consideration, and signify his sovereign wilt pre-
s iously. —lt is certain that the King has accepted
the resignation of all the offices held by the Prince,

ese, son.
We are assured, however, that, after this, them
august persons had an interview at the residence of
our belOveii Princess, who lihares with tke Houee of
IN:ossio tl.e lore and respect of the of the kingdom.

BATAVIA.

131-TRACT BROM THE BATAVIA GAZETTE Or THE eSTH
DECEMBER. 1816.
[Translated from the Dutch Language.]
We are authorised to inform our Readers, that
some disturbances in the Crawang district have again
threatened a renovation of those scenes that were ex-
hibited there but a few years ago. We have, how-
ever, the satisfaction to add, that the timely and
energetic measures resorted to in order to suppress
the spirit of revolt, will probably be effective to the
re-establishment of peace and tranquillity.
An armed multitude had assembled at Lobenar,
situated on the westerly bank of the river Gemanok,
being commanded by a certain Bagoes Jabien, who
who is the son of the former chief of robbers. He
endeavoured, through the promulgation of seditious
writings, to increase the number of his adherents:
ineffective were all the means employed by the act-
ing residents of the Preanger Regencies and Cheri-
bon, and other persons of consideration, to prevail
with these mutineers to state their complaints and to
come to an ureement ; wherefore it became highly
necessary toMnploy the military Is.rce, consisting of
about 160 men, of whom thirty-six were Europeans,
who bad come from Samarang, under the command
of Captain Van Driel, of the 21st battalion of infantry.
A plan of operation was laid down in concert with
the civil authorities, which especially had in view to
surround the mutineers, and not to let them escape if
possible. New proposals having once mere been
made in order to reconcile them, which were again
obstinately rejected, the 20th instant was fixed upon
for a general attack.
Unforeseen circumstances caused that the attack,
which ought to have been made at the appointed mo-
ment from Sudeamayo, Odjoeng, Tosserang, and
Lobenar, did not lake place at the same time, and
that the small detachments which attacked the enemy
separately, for want of support, notwithstanding their
bravery, could at that moment make no impression.
However, and notwithstanding all obstacles, the vic-
tory was gained by our people; and when the armed
force, commanded by the Resident of the Preanger
Residencies, at last arrived from the district of Los-
serang, victory was no longer doubtful : upwards of
60 mutineers were killed, 100 severely wounded, and
the number of those who were disarmed and made
prisoners, amounts, according to the latest report, to
no less than 500 and upwards.
The Assistant Resident Van de Pock, whoa cou-
rage and local knowledge contributed very much to
the good success of the expedition, received a slight
wound from a lance, and lost a horse during the en-
garment.
Ihe Lieutenant, Hoffman, who comranded the
detachment from Indramayo, had nearly become the
victim of his courage.,Every one has done his duty ;
yet the intelligence received bestows a particular
praise on Captain Van Driel, through whose
.good
directions the mutineers were prevented returnmg to
Indransayo, upon the Regeuts of Sumadang sold
Lunbangang, who led some of their armed men into
the field, and upon an European Serjeant and ten
men of the flank company who were given to the
Resident of the Preanger Regencies to assist him.—
We lament on our part the loss of four European and
eleven native soldiers, besides the wounded.
It is said that Government hive esfemaesi lkoie,
particular satisfaction to the Acting Residentl;f the
Preanger Regencies, who personally led itis mat into
battle, and to the Acting Resident of Cueribon,
whose extraordinary activity, with the assistance of
the faithful Adepatter of the Bengaten Walen, pre-
vented the mutineers repassing the Gemanok, and
preserved the most perfect tranquillity.
Government, we understand, is going immediately
.to iuvestigate what reasons could • occasion such a
dangerous insurrection; and especially to examine if
ao extortions or vexations of the inhabitants of these
distant districts have given rise to these criminal
proceedings.
