A aril from Holland arrived this forenoon, with
Papers to the 10th inst. They contain the following
important intelligence, from the Dutch Settlements

in India :
HAGUE, HOVEMBER S.
Lieutenant-Colonel Taels Van Amerongen, Aid-
de-camp to the Governor-Geaeral of the East India
possessions, and Lieutenant Koopman, of the Navy,
arrived here yesterday, with the happy intelligence of
the successful issue of the second expedition against
the rebellious Sultan of Palembang, which was of so
much importance to the maintenance of the Dutch

authority in India.
On the 24th of June, General De Kock, to whom
the chief command of the expedition was confided,
made himself master, after an obstinate resistance, of
the works in the River, which impeded the approach
to the town. The General states, in his dispatches
of the 28th of June, that on the 26th he cast anchor,
before the town, and that the Sultan, Badaroedin,
seeing no means of resistance, declared himself ready
to give up the government to his brother, who was
en board the Dutch fleet, and to surrender himself, on
the assurance that his life should be spared. The
General, therefore, hoped that he should soon be able
to sad the Sultan and his family to Batavia, on
board the Dageraad frigate.—The General bestows
the highest encomiums on the bravery and pene-
verance of the soldiers and seamen.

The enemy had hi chief force in the river► near
the Island of Gombora► at the mouth of the river

Pladjoe, on a low and marshy spot of ground. A
large battery was erected on the island. Between
that and the right bank were two floating batteries,
and on the bank four batteries, one behind the other,
the largest of which was at the mouth of the Pladjoe.
These works were defended by 126 pieces of artil-
lery, which, as the event :hewed, the enemy knew
very well how to manage. The two banks were
also defended by a double palisade, under the com-
mand of the guns, and behind the palisade well armed
boats. It appeared. therefore, not advisable to attack
the enemy's works by land.
The first attack was on the 20th of June. At day-
break the ships of war took the stations assigned them.
The cannonade was extremely violent on both sides.
In the forenoon, the fire from Gombora began to
abate, one of the gun-boats had already penetrated
through the palisade into the great river, and the
General had already given orders to Lieutenant-Colo-
nel Kier to make an attack with 300 men, in boats, on
the List-mentioned battery, when, unfortunately, the
cables of some of the ships of war were shot away so
that they drifted with the stream. This accident ex-
posed the Vanderwerf alone to the enemy's fire, and
as this vessel had already 60 men killed and wounded,
and several of her guns were dismounted, the Gene-
ral thought it advisable to suspend the attack.
The second attack was made on the 24th of June.
Before day-break the ships of war took their positions
under a heavy fire from the enemy. At five o'clock
the ships returned the enemy's fire, and at a quarter
past -six the fire from the Island began to abate.
Colonel Bischoff made a successful attempt to pe-
netrate with his troops, in boats, through the palisade
along the left bank towards the island; the battery
was taken, and the flag of the Netherlands hoisted on,
the enemy's works. An attempt to attack the great
battery in front was judged not to be advisable, and
the troops were therefore collected on the side of the
island, in order to cross the river behind k and turn
the batteries on the right bank. Meantime the Ajax
sad Venus had overpowered the floating batteries,
which were taken possession of by Lieutenant Van-
den Ende, and afterwards burnt. At nine o'clock,
the troops under Colonel Bischoff began to cross the
river. At half-past eleven, Lieutenant Lange, of the
Navy, planted our colours on the hindmost battery.'
The second and third were quickly abandoned by the
enemy, who endeavoured to maintain himself in the
first and largest, but the troops under Lieutenants
Wegener and Van Styrum carried} it by assault, and
made themselves masters of this last and important
position.
Here follow the names of the officers who distin-
guished themselves, and the statement of the killed
and wounded. The loss in the first action was—
killed, 46 ; wounded, 97. In the second action—.
killed, 29; wounded, 140. In all, 75 killed, and 237
wounded. Among them the Vanderwerf alone had

17 killed, and 66 wounded. Tyr the guns hays
been fired on account of this joyful victory.
BATAVIA, JULY 21.
The conquest of Palembang has been announced
by a salute of 101 guns.
The cholera morbas still rages dreadfully at Bantam,
and the out-districts of Sonrabaya and Passarouang
At Bantam 100 persons die daily—in the two other
places, above 170, The number of deaths at Batavia,
in consequence of alb disorder, does not exceed five
daily.
MAOUR, NOVEMBER
A private letter from Batavia, of the 26th July,
states that the cholera mortals was abating, and that
it was hoped that its ravages would soon cease.

We have received since our last the Paris
of Thursday and Friday last.
The Chamber of Deputies met again on Wednes•
day, but in consequence of there not being a suffi-
cient number of Members present, no business was
done. The Chamber consists of 426 Members, and
to enable it to transact business, more than a half,
that is, 214 must be present. On Wednesday only
102 attended. The verification of the powers of the
new Deputies, which was the business of the day,
could not therefore be proceeded on, and after a long
conversation the House adjourned sine die, with an
understanding that on the arrival of a sufficient num•
ber of Deputies in Paris, notice would be given at
their respective places of residence of the day of the
next meetings
The accounts from Barcelona, in these Papers, are
rather more favourable than those which we have
given in our preceding page from the Madrid jour-
nals. The Moniteur contains what seems to be the
substance of an official report from the French phy-
sicians, in which the fact of the cetsation of the
malady at Barcelonetta is fully confirmed. "On
the 26th," it is said, " there were neither deaths
nor new patients at Barcelonetta; salutes of artil-
lery announced this exceedingly happy change.—
The number of deaths continued nearly the same at
Barcelona. It is computed that this city has lost
15,000 of its population."—Of the spread of the fever
we have also the following particulars : " Shortly
after the yellow fever broke out at Barcelona, it ap-
peared at Tortosa, and next at Mequinenza, in both
of which places it has committed great ravages. It has
also had many victims at Palma, in the isle of Majorca.
At length it manifested itself successively, first on
the roads of Malaga, and afterwards in the town ; at
Murcia, at Port St. Maurice, at Xeres de la Frontera,
at Cadiz, and in a faulbourg of Seville. At the date
of the last accounts, it had not, in any of these latter
places, displayed much violence."
At Malaga, if we may credit the following letter
in the Constitutionnei, there has been more alarm
than teal cause for it. It is dated the 25th October :
" The alarm has, without doubt, spread to Paris and
France about the epidemy of Malaga. To tell you
the truth, there may exist here some germ of the
miady now become endemic, but for myself, I
think that malevolence has done and occasioned
more evil than there has been any good cause for.
What is certain is, that the half of the population
has emigrated, and that business is paralysed, while
nobody has died of the malady."
The accounts with which we are favoured of the
state of matters between Russia and Turkey, conti-
nue, as usual, to be wavering and contradictory.
We subjoin the statements as they are presented to
us; not certain but that next post may bring us a
contradiction to everything they contain :
ODESSA, OCTOBER 13.
(raoM THE ALLORMENE ZEKTENO or NOT. 2.)
A Courier has arrived to-day in five days from St.
Petersburgh, with dispatches for Count Langeron,
who being at Cherson, the Courier immediately pro-
ceeded thither. A report is spread that the troops in
the Ukraine have orders to march to the Pruth, but
this news a ants confirmation.
HERMANSTADT, OCTOBER is.

News is just received that the Turks have advanced
close to the Pruth. The Russians, toe, have within
this fortnight again taken their station close to the
opposite bank. The increase of the Turkish troops
in Moldavia having excited some apprehensions fa;
the inhabitants of Bessarabia, the advanced posts of
the Russians and Turks are in sight of each other.
Withiwthese few days great numbers of Christians
arrive on our frontiers, who try to fly fivm the cruel-
ties of the Asiatic troops. At Cronstadt no more
lodgings are to be had ; all who can by any means
get away from Bucharest, take flight from that city.
It is calculated that 30,000 Turks have entered the
Principalities within these three weeks ; they commit
all manner of cruelties and excesses.
On the 15th of October, there arrived at Belgrade,
Tartars who had come in nine days from Constanti-
nople. They brought a Erman from the Sultan for
the arming of all Musseimans from the age of 15 years
to that of 60. This Erman was sent at the same time
to all the Asiatic and European Provinces of the Em-
pire, with the HAW Scheriff before issued to arm all
the followers of Islamism; so that, accordingly, the
whole Turkish nation must take up arms. By the
regulations annexed to this Finnan, the rendezvous
of the Asiatics is Constantinople; of the troops of
Macedonia, at Trawnick ; of Bulgaria, at Adrian°.
ple ; of the Danube, at Silistria; sad of Sarnia, at

Belgride. the pb7 of Nay root soldier h 40pba•

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPTEMBER 15.
The Liintenant of the Captain Pacha sailed last
week for the Archipelago, accompanied by a Greek
Bishop, who is to endeavour to induce the Greeks in
the revoked islands to return to their obedience. No
action has taken place between the fleets. It is af-
firmed, that verbal communications have taken place,
and that these negociations now promise an amicable
anangement.
