PROTEaT OF SIR THOMAS RAFFLES, LIEUTENANW'
GOVERNOR OF FORT MARLBOROUGH, AGAINST THR
AGGREaSIONS OF TUE DUTCH IN THE INDIAN SEAS.
(Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.)
Captain SAlmond h tying ascertained that the Sul-
tan hai in. no. way c munitted himself ta.thn.Netber-
lanJs tiovernmeNt by any legal act, the following
are the Articles of the Treaty entered into on the 4th
• &Jul);

-
TfIS is a solemn Treaty this day entered into between his
Highness Itatoo Acbrned Najumudin, Sultan of Palembang, on
the one side, and Captain Francis Salmond, as the represents•
tin of the lion. Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, Lieutenant-60-
ventor of Fort Marlborough, on the other :
_

AIITiCLE Num.—His Highness being desirous of the pro-
tection of the British Government, and of excluding all other
European Nation; from his dominions, the Lieutenant-Gover-
nor of Fort Marlborough hereby agrees to furnish such military
establishment as shall be adequate.

" AITTCLI Swaim—Theltan, on his part, agrees to re-
ecive the Mid military establishment, and to provide for the ex-
penses thereof.
" Signed, sealed, and delivered is duplicate, at Palembang, this
4tk day of July, ME."
It may not be unnecessary to remark, that the first
application of the Sultan for the advice and assist-
ance of the Lieutenant-Governor of Bencoolen was
received on the.l7th of June e that on the 21st June
his Highness was informed that the British Govern-
ment would reader,him the protection required; that
in the interim, and while informed of the prelimi,
naries between Palembang and Bencoolen, the Dutch
Commissioner commenced his measures of coercion;
apti that on'tl;6 4th of July the engagemebts between
the Court of Palembang •auck the Lieutenant-Gover-
not Of Benciiolen were confirmed and proclaimed by
-.the hoisting of the British flagon the walls of the
Fort, In explanation 'it 'would appear; that on the.
24th of dune, only ten days previous to the arrival
of Captain Salmond, and while it was publicly
known tha a ttitish Agent was on his way to. P-
alembang, rafts and provisions having been provided
by the Sultan. for the convenience of the party on
their way duwn the river, the unfortunate Sultan was
corn.lelled to resign his authority, and to deliver over
his Palace. On that day the Dutch Commissioner
states that he obtained seals and signatures to a
Tetetty, which nominally transferred all authority to
the Dutch ; but it is not proved in what manner the
same was obtained. That they were obtained in an
unlawful manner—that is to say, ei et menu, and by
intimidation, cannot be denied; and, indeed, the let-
ter from the Sultan above quoted, and the act of his
immediately hoisting the British Rag. would be sttffi-
cient evidence, were not the details which could be
produced conclusive on this head. The Sultan is un-
derstood to be at this moment a close prisoner ; and
roi to intreduceinto.this paper any particulars which
might be construed into a desire to lower the cha-
racter of these proceedings below a fair standard, it
may be sufficient to insert the folloWing extracts
from the Commissioner-1 statement, in order that it!
may be .contrasted With the evidence abOve adduced:
" I,have thO honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your official lettet-, dated Fort Marlborough, the 24th
of June .1a; t.
ff the inforination which has:reached you With
regard to the measures I was pursuing at Palerni.

General, has been' ablh-tertailteloue surprise and as-
tonishment, it was on the other hind with no less
degree of regret atut.consternation th'et twas affected
on the perusal of your letter, and. on.heing apprised
of the flirther measures_. yen had detitmined neon,
if vent will allow me to say, on such ilight foimdation.
" The natives, Ott -whose reports.enly every infor-
mation
.&pended that could have reached Fost
Marlborough at the date of your di-loatchcs, left Pa-
lerebang at a period when I myself had not yet ar-
rived at that place; when na overture.; of any nature
find as yet ht-en made to the Court of Palembang ;
when the military force stationed at Palembang was
still far below tire usual rate of that garrison ; and
When, of cOnlequeece, every intelligence sent off with
revard to the demands I had to make, and to the
mi-
litary force I should station there, could only be con-
jecteral and premature, and naturally would be ex-
aggerated and erroneous.
". So they have in fact proved to be. The mili-
tary force even now collected at Palembang, falls
short of trhat a usual garrison ought to be, and does
certainly not exceed the limits of a mere protection
to a Settlement where not a single entrenchment, nor
place of safety is to be found.
" If, therefore, the usual means of self-preserva-
tion have been able to raise the apprehensions and
anxiety of a pusillanimous Court, it is a mere acci-
dent, not to be imputed either to me or to the higher
Powers under whose authority I was acting.
" Nut did any instructions say to use threats or
military force against any of the Sultans.
" it was not these warlike means that were de-
pended upon for the success of my mission. A hope
for this success was raised on a better foundation—.
on the nateral force of truth in convincing the Sultan
'ap Mcedin of his wrongs, and of the acts of hos-
tility which he had committed, or allowed to be com-
nikted, by his subjects, as well on our own territories,
ae on those of our Allies, and on the irresistible in-
fluence which the principles of a liberal and humane
AdmisSiration would have on the hearts of all the,
people of. Palembang. as soon as they Were tendered
to them;';in lieu of that state of bondage and oppres-
sion to which they had been degraded by the unwar-
rantable conduct.of their Sultan, Neya Moedin, and
his adherente.. . __ •

And, instead of threats and warlike force, I have,
the greatest satisfaction to acquaint you, that it was'
by mere peaceful• and persuasive means, not only
Without drawing a sworci,Qr. firing a shot, but with-
out a single • atfi ay, without any individual being
hurt, or °Vett restrained or curtailedip his personal
tights or liberty, that I was fortunate enough to esta-
blish a new state of affairs in this country, and to
obtain 'the free assent of both the reigning and tie
Ex-Sultan to arrangemeuts which, according to.my
Own view of the subject, aud.under the orders from
w:4ieia I acted, most certainly I had a right to make;
and from the operation of which, it ;nay be expected,
that, the whole population of. Palembang, from the
very low .state of want and oppression to which.they
have reduced, will make a rapid stretch towards
enjeinwnt of ,ave and plenty, and of • all those

rights and comforts. %slick dependant on a state
e personal security and. civilization.
44 It was by the warlike tatmours•of your military
dgtachntients deacending from the mountains that
my messengers were stopped on their way, going up
to the . poor inhabitants of the country, to announce
to them the abolition of their'Tslcur and Tookon, of
every kind of forced labour and delivery of produce,
and, above all, of the abominable cuitom of enslav-
ing not only individuals, but whole families and ge-
nerations of them, fox the trifling amount of a civil
debt. But how could it be the fate of these humane
principles to be stopped in their course by a friend
to humanity, by excellence ? How could the patron
of these principles rise up in opposition to the ase•
complishment of his own system, and the Lieutenant
Governor of Fort Marlborough oppose, what it was,
and ever will be, the glory of the late Lieutenant-
Governor of Java to have first proclaimed ?
" I am sensible, Honourable Sir; you would want
here to put a stop to my argument; you would remind
me that it is on a right by contract that you found
your claims, aryl *pointing to the final clause of the
Treaty you allude to, propose your system, that the.
Sultan of Palembang was an indepeadent Prince,
under the protection of the British Government,
whose former rights were to be left untouched, even
should humanity suffer by it.
44 As it seems that on these points a difference of
opinion has existed between the Commissioners-Ge-
neral and the late British Authorities on the Island
of Java, it perhaps might be my duty to withhold
from entering on the subject, ant confining myself
'to the orders under which I am bound to act,' refer
your for explanation to the higher Authorities at
Java ; but considering the decisive measures you
already have entered upon, and the'circuitous way
by which auy explanation could reach you from'
Java, I will take it upon myself to enter into some
explanation, though always with due deference. and,
save the different 'view my superiors might take of
the subject, • • IP' • C."
• Of the tone in which the Netherlands Government
are determined to maintain their system, some idea
' may be formed by the following additional extract'
from the letter of the Commissioner at Palembang :
" Of the facts constituting Such a breach of faith
.
(on the part of the Sultan), they, the Netherlands
Government, are naturally as an independent Power,
the sole judge in these quarters of the earth, and it
would be highly improper to enter into any justifi-
cation of them but before their higher Authorities at
home, who have a right to call for it, and to whom
a reference lays open on the subject."
Of the act of publicly arresting the person of the
British Representative, after that Officer was publicly
accredited and recognised in that capacity, by the
Dutch Commissioner, and while he was sleeping un-
der the protection of the British flag, hoisted by an
Independent Prince in alliance with Great Britain,
there can be but one opinion ; but so little is an act
of the kind now thought of by the Dutch Authorities,;
that the Commissioner, though voluminous in his
correspondence on other points, does not even coade-,
scend to offer an explanation, much less an apology,
on this. Whatever measures might have been found
necessary for the support of the authority that thus
had so unjustifiably been wrested from the hands of
an unfortunate Prince under the immediate protec-
tion of the British Government, it is to be regretted
that nothing less than open insult and the degrada-
tion of the British character in the eyes of the natives,
and this on a spot where British valour had so re.
' cently been so conspicuous, and where Dutch grati-
tude was so imperiously called for, would have been
resorted to. .

Justly indignant at conduct so unjustifiable on the
part of the Representative of a nation at peace and
friendship with Great Britain, and desirous to check
the progress of a system r" which it is to be feared
this will not br found a solitary instance, I do hereby,
most solemnly and publicly pi otest,,

rust—Against the whole of the proceedings of the Nether-
lands Government at Palembang, as unjustifiable, and in direct
violation of the rights and treaties which It is incumbent on them
to respect : by which proceedings, not only the character of the
British Government is seriously involved, but its proceedings
wish regard to Banca rendered questionable.
Secondly—l protest against the general proceedings df the
Netheriards C;overnment in disregarding the solemn Protests
made by the British Authorities before they quitted Java, and do
dechr‘ null and void all arrangernenti not provisional in their
nature, which may have been made in defiance of those Protests.
- - - -

Thirdly—l further protest against any Military force being
eat by the Netherlands Government to any place within the
Archipelago, with which the English are in alliance, and carry
on trade, in which the Dutch Bag did not actually By on the Ist
of January, 1803, with the exception of such as ;flay have beets
in the charge of the British Government at that date, and which
may be regularly transferred.
Lastly—And in the strocgest manner I protest and appeal
against the insult offered to the Representative of the British
Government, in the arrest of the person of Captain Salmond, the
British Agent at Palembang, holding the Representatives of the
Netherlands Government in these seat responsible for all the
acts of aggression and insult connected therewith, and which
will hereafter be made known in another place, unless prompt
and adequate satisfaction is given.

In conclusion, I deem it necessary to state, that
the object of this Protest is not directed against the
minor measures of their Excellencies the Commis-
sioners-General, nor of the Commissioner at Palem-
bang, nor is it intended to affect the personal good
understagding and harmony which happily prevails.'
I have reason to respect and esteem them. It is
against the political system which', as Representatives
of the Netherlands Government, they have felt it'
their duty to adopt, that I protest; a system by
, which the interests of the Netherlands Government
appear to be exclusively considered, without the
least reference being had in how far the honour and-
interests of the British Nation may be involved
thereby. TO such a system it is incumbent on me
to oppose the rights and duties of the British Go-
vernment ; and it is to be hoped that when the cha-
racter and interests of both Nations are duly con-
sidered and deliberated upon by higher Authorities,'
such a liberal policy will be resolved upon as will at:
once put an end to the confusion and irreguhrhies
which must continue, and even increase to anerarm-,
ing extent, while the present system is alloWed to be.
persevered in.

TIRANSIhATION.OF A LETTER. "'nom SULTAN ACMMED.
,
NAJUMUDIN, OF PALEMBANG, TO TILE LIEUTENANT.,
• e.
GOVEBSOR OF BENCOOLEN.
" Captain Salmond" on his arrival at Palembang, had imnie-
diatelran interview with the Sultan, when he presented tn him
a letter, sad a Sag that accompanied it, (rain the llonouraide
the Lientenanf-Governor of Fort Marlborough, which were re-
ceived with the greatest jay, and with every mark of respect.
" The flag was then ordered to be hoisted, and a letter sect
by Captain Salmond to Mr. Muntingbe. It is not known vrhat
may have been the nature of the eontmunication thus made,
but Mr. Muntingbe sent to call Captain &Wend, and to coder
him to pull dawn the British Sag, which had been hoisted by
the Sultan. Captain'Salmobd replied, that be dared not pull it
down; and after this, not to cuter into details, then cline a
party of Detail soldiers, together with a party of Palembang
people, favourable to the interest of the Ex-Sultan, and also of
Slaks, to thy number of at least 700 in all, by the two latter of
whym the residence of the young Sultan was surrounded by order

-
of the Dutch, so as to present. all communication with him.t
" At sunset the flag, according to custom, was ordered by
the Sultan to be lowered and taken in. He himself was theft
confined by the •Ilutch, and no egress or ingress an any account
:permitte, and early the following morning the Bag-staff was
cut down by the Dutch.
1.- " The Sultan's place olcoofinement was a small apartment
' on the eastern side of the new fort, which did not admit of
mote persons being accommodated there than ten petty °lacers,
who were ill that were with him, the rest of his people being
obliged to remain outside. Captain Salmond and those with
Min were taken by Mt. Huntingho, at four o'clock in the
,morning, and have now been sent off direct to llatavia in a
small vesseL

" The persoes who were deputed by the Sultan to meet and
receive Captain Salmond on his arrival at Pa'cmbaug, viz. three
Pangcrangs, a Tummungung, a Range, and a Demang, were ail
wired and placed under arrest within the Dutch entrenchment.
" The Sultan still continues a close prisoner, and no commia.'
nication is permitted between hint and any one outside. The
only persons allowed to pass in or out of the piece wlire It • is
confined, are some women, who are employed to fetch water
and buy provisions for him, and it is only at stated times that
this indulgence is granted, and fur a very limited period that
they are allowed to be absent.

11 Such is the inconceivable state of misery and distress to
which the Sultan has been reduced.

" Trusting, however, to the benevolence and compassion of
the British Authority at Bencoolen. and Ermly relying on as-
sissance from thence, he has peaceably borne with and sub-
mitted to all that has befallen him.

" Night and day he anxiously. hopes that the Honourable the
Lieutenant-Governor will afford bins speedy relief; for so great
is the misery and shame he now feels. that he cannot keep kis
eyes dry." . *.

to her naked thigh, and thus escaped detection. Similar precau-
tion was necessary to enable the Deponents and their follows?.
to get safely out of Palembang; guards and spies being stationed
above the town to stop and eaamine all pertains passing up and
down; and for this purpose they-withdrew one by one, to au
appointed placeof rendezvous In the woods, and thence depart-
lug together, travelled by stealth across the country, and by k
difficult and circuitous-rout, reached Fort Marlborough in. '
days:—The letter, which, from the hand-writing, appears to
thorns to have been written either by the Sultan himself, or his
brother, the Pangeran Depati, who was in confinement with
blell,wat delivered to them by the female already mentioned,
With htjunedons from the Sultan to convey it 'without delay to
the Llenttnant•Glovensor of Fort Marlborough, and on no ac-
Mtn to let it fall Into the bands of the Dutch or any of the '
Ex-Sultan's People.
It was web understood that Mr. Muntinghe first of all en-
deaSoutel to obtain the cosgut of *Mg Sultan to arrapgentents
that were favourable to the Interests 'of the Ex-Sultan, and pre-
judicial to his own, but of which they do not know more of the
particulars than that the Sultan was to have a monthly allow-
ance of one thousand dollars, five coyangs of rice, and ore bun-
deed gantangs of salt, and be paid the gross sum of 25,000 dol-
lars, to repair and improve the old palace for his accommodation.
That the Sultan positively refused to enter into any such
agteentent, on which Mr. Muntinghe acted as he has done, in
opposition to the wishes, and notwithstanding the remonsuan.
ces of the Sultan; that they are perfectly sure the Sultan **weer
put his hand or seal to any Treaty or written Document what-
ever, connected with the measure lately adopted at Palembang :
on the contrary, be invariably told Mr. Muntinghe that he could
not,. and would not accede to any arrangements proposed by him;
that he had nut the power to resist his acts, and could not pre.:
vent him front doing whatever he pleased with himself and the
country, but that he would not voluntarily resign any of his
rights or authority.
He refused to move out of the Palace, although pressed in
the mast urgent manner to.do so, and it was not till after the
I)utch frigate and other vessels were placed opposite to it, and
he was told that it would positively be battered down about his
ears, and preparations were apparently making to carry the
threat into effect, that he agreed to move into that part of it
where he is now a prisoner, still refusing to quit it altogether.
The Regalia were not got from hint till -after the departure of
Captain Salmond for Batavia, and many threats had been used
on the past of Mr. Muntinghe, to take them by force, and semi
him to Batavia.

The Ex-Sultan, in consideration of being again placed upon
the 'Throne by Mr. Muntinghe, agreed to make over to the
Dutch the whole of the interior of the country, artd to pay down
the sum of five lace of dollars in cash anti valuables ; the sum of
four lace was received by Mr. Muntinghe, and shipped by hint ;
:he payment of the remaining lac was Is be made after Mt.
Muntinghe's return from the interior, and his effecting the ex-
pulsion of all the British troops front the territory of ralentharg.
The warlike equipment which Mr. Muntinghe fitted for this
purpose, consisted of about 100 troops, Europeans and Natives,
100 Slais,,and 1,800 Palembang people, arnied in various ways.
and who were conveyed in 1,8114 boats, in which were mounted
tfight large guns, and about one hundred small ones.
When they left- Pakmbang, the Dutch had a slap of war of
s guns, and a large military knee there.

of the Netherlands Government, "an evident

The prominent fact to mhich our attention
