DUTCH PAPERS,


We are indebted to Mr.. Van Beer.
enstyn for Amsterdam and Brussels
papers. They arc not quite 80 late
as our last received Paris and Lon
don papers. but we have copied from
them a few articles deserving of no.
tice.
A letter published in the Austrian
Observer, states French ship Of
war fell in with the Egyptian feet
near tie isle Of Rhodes. The French
captain went on board the admiral's
vessel, and conversed several hours
with lbrahim Pacha, who was curious
to see the French crew manoeuvre.-
The French captain INDUCED him in
this respect. HE fleet consisted Of
9 frigates, coryettes of three masts,
40 briggs and schooners, and 900
transport vessels. The regular troops
are estimated at $4,000 men. There
were among them great number of
European officers. A French officer,
formerly aid de-camp of Gen. Grou.
cIIy. and who has since become
Mahometan, appeared to possess the
special confidence of the Pacha.-
They could not learn with certainty
whether the expedition was destined
directly againstthe Morea, or against
some other point of the Archipelago.
a letter from Singapore of the lst
of March last, gives the following in
formation. The Dutch expedition,
which sailed in the munth of Septem-
Der last, for the interior of the island
Of Dorneo, returned in the month of
November, after having assembled the
Ponliana, distance of 500 miles,
The object of this expedition was to
reduce to submission the hitherto in
dependent states Of Sangao-Sintang
and Silat. 1t succeeded completely
in this enterprise. the natives having
submitted without Offering the least
resistance. BY this success. the go
yernment Of the Netherlands becomes
entire master Of the whole Of the ISIS
