NEWS FROM THE EASTWARD.
Calcutta, Feb.a.
By the arrival of the Auspiciums, which
| was announced yesterday from Java and
Penang we have received letters from lat
ter place, dated jan. 8, which inform US OF
the defeat of the Dutchlal Palembang, and
of the Maays having made prisoner of the
Governor of Mimic, whose head they haze
taken off, and sent it as present to their Ra-
| iah or Chief.
The loss of the Dutch liz their attempt on
! Palembank, is said 10 amount 10 upwards OF
500 Europeans; besides great portion OF
their native troops, which suffered as much
from sickness as any other cause.
The entrance TO the Palembang River,
was blockaded across with stakes driven into
the bottom, formed of pretty large trees !;
and the small island of Goram in the centre
Of the entrance was fortified with about loo
pieces of cannon, among which were all the
guns saved from the wreck of his majesty
ship Alceste, and large supply of shot and
ammunition.
This signal defeat at Palembang, coupled
| with previous disasters at Benca, must, we
! should !hink, go far TO sicken the Dutch OF
their present policy towards the natives,
over whom they would extend their rule
! Their Admiral, Walterback, has had sence
enough it seems. to advise his Government
to give up every place to which they make
pretensions with the exception OF Java and
the Moluccas, and we think they could not
do better than 10 follow his advice.
Private Letters from Dutch residents OF
Java. admit the fact of the failure of their
Expedition, which they attribute to the rainy
season, anda combination CT other outward
! incidents. The Batayian Government Ga
zette will. we suppose in month or two
hence, give US some official accounts Of the
affair, in which, according to their usual me-
thod, we shall perhaps hear more Of the
loyalty and attachment due to the Neither
lands Government TO support its claims and
pretensions either by justice or by force.
Maurilius By letter which reached
here yesterday from Ingram, dated the Goth
ofJan. we learn the arrival at that port OF the
Georgiana, Capt. Rogers, from the Isle OF
France, which she left on the 9th of Dec.
This vessel brings the affecting intelligence
Of the Island being at present suffering UNI
der the visitation OF that dreadful scourge
the Cholera Morbus, which had carried of
upwards of SO victims in one day in this
small colony.
