FROM RATAVIA

We learn by the ship RoMuLUs,
Captain Roberts, which arrived on Sa-
turday from Batavia, that accounts
reached there on the 9th Of September,
that a numerous party of natives COL
lected with hostile intentions at place
called Denmark, about II miles East OF
Samarang. The authorities of that
place called out volunteer corps of
cavalry, formed Of the young men,
mostly merchants, 10 go and attack the
insurgents, with 100 seamen and a few
native troops. When they came in
sight OF the enemy, they beheld to
their surprise from three to FIVE thou
sand men under arms, drawn up in
three columns. The European Com.
mander ordered his men to the attack,
when the insurgents were Immediately
in motion TO resist them. The small
body of cavalry (2s in number,) be.
ing inexperienced, were Immediately
thrown into confusion, and two were
killed by the first discharge from the
insurgents, who i'll their turn, charged
the cavalry with their Cossack spears
when they attempted to retreat, in do
ing which they were nearly surrounded.
After a moments consultation they
determined TO turn off the road and at.
tempt TO pass a body of men that &C.
cupied the road between them and
Samarang, but the attempt proved We
nv unfortunate, as some Of the horses
soon fell and threw their riders, into
the soft and broken grounds OF the rice
fields, who were instantly speared by
the enemy. Several of them then re-
turned to their former position and Gu,
their way through the enemy that oc.
cupied another pass, and reached Sa.
marang in safety. Fourteen were kill,
ed and missing, including seven young
men, English and Scotch agents for
commercial houses at Batavia. The
whole effective force of European
troops on the Island does not exceed
5000 men, and the citizens Of Batavia
are all on military duty, and stand a
regular guard as common soldiers.
The Spanish ship San Fernando
passed Anjier September I'd, from Ca
diz for Manila, having OIL board a new
Captain General for the Philipon Isl.
ands, and several other new officers.

Congress Proceedings of yesterday.

~
The business of the SENATE was wholly Of
an unimporrant character. A few petitions
were presented, and joint resolution of the
General Assembly ofthe State of Mississippi,
in relation to a Canal between Pascagoula
River and the Gulph of Mexico.
The resolution submitted By Mr.. Johnston,
of Louisiana, about the territorial laws of Flo
rida relating to wrecks, gave rise to few re-
marks, from which it appeared, that great a.
buses had taken place at Key West under the
act-that by summary process, property TO
q large amount was lost-that from ~ to w
per cent salvage was taken, and complaints
had been made on the subject as well by Fo-
reign Governments, as by our own Insurance
Companies. An Executive Message was re-
ceived and the Senate proceeded, with closed
doors, to its consideration.
ISrnK HOUSE OF RRrRKsESTATrvEs.-Manry
private petitions were presented and REFEREED
and n number of unfavorable Reports from
different committees were made on petitions
previously presented.
On motion of Dir. Kent, the subject OF q
Quarantine Establishment for the District OF
Columbia, referred to the District Committee
at the last session of Congress, but not acted
upon. was again referred to the same commit
tee.
On motion of Mr.. Tomlinson, the Commit
tee on the Territories was instructed to In
o,,ire into the expediency of providing oy
law. that sales of land, for non payment OIL
taxes laid thereon, by authority of the Terri
,or;a, Governments, shall not be made in
.horter neriod than one year, after such taxes

the Commissioner of the General Land OfEic.
or other proper officer Of the government
reading at the City of Washington, be autho
rized to receive such tax and penalty, from
non resident propretors, and required to de
Posite the same in Bank, to the credit of the
proper Territorial Officer, and make to hin
Quarterly returns Of the sums so deposited.
On motion of Sir. Sawyer, the Committee
on Roads and Canals, were instructed to en-.
qure into the expediency of turning the wa.
tiers Of Albemarle Sound in their old channel,
by dyke across Croatan and Roanoke
Sounds, so as to produce navigable inlet near
the former one, through which the first emf.
grants entered, when they landed on Roa.
noke Island.
On motion of Mr.. Van Rensselaer,, the Com
mlttee on the Library, were instructed to en-
quire into the cause of the fire by which the
Library Room and Library Of Congress- sus-
tanned damage on the night of the 22d De.
cember instant; and to report whether any
person or persons in the employ of govern.
ment, be charseabTe with negligence in re-
lation to the same.
Mr.. McDufiie gave notice, that on the first
Thursday in January he should call up his re-
solutions, offered at the commencement of the
session, proposing certain amendments to the
Constitution of the United States.
The House then resolved itself into Com
mittee of the Whole, Mr.. Condict in the Chair,
on the bill granting a pension to Penelope
Denny, and after some debate the bill was re.
ported, without amendment, and laid on the
table, and the House adjourned.

derstand it fell to-22.
Letters have been received in town
from Mr.. Charles Wood, dated at Ca

the whole Of the cargo of the Baron of

the work Of drawing it on shore would
be finished the next day, in which op-
GRAFTON from 300 to 500 horses were
employed. He had not ascertained
what duties would be required on the

LATEST FROM RIO.

Baltimore, Dec 27.-By the schooner
Butcher, iCaplain Smith, which left
there the l4th November; we learn that
the indications of war between Buenos-
Ayres and the Emperor of Brazil, were
becoming more apparent, and 2repa-
ralions were making for it in every de-
partment-The men of war were all
ordered to be Immediately ready for
sea.
These accounts, direct from Brazil,
Confirm the statement made a few days
ago, of the total defeat Of the Emperors
troops by the Patriots of the Banda
Oriental, and add further, that the re-
mainder OF the army generally joined
the standard of liberty.
The German troops, who were en-
ployed by the Emperor to keep the
Pernambucans in order, had not been
permitted to accomplish this object
quietly, and serious disturbance had
taken place between some Of the people
and one OF the regiments, in which the
Pernambucans suffered considerably
two Colonies had been sent to Rio for
trial.
Since the above was written we have
been politely favored with the follow.
ing extract ola letter, dated

repeating the law prohibiting the inn

soon take place between that Govern
ment and this, arising from ther natu-
raj professions to the Banda Oriental,

The Boston papers, say very little about
Mr.. KEAS, since the riot. Eight or ten OF
the rioters were arrested on Friday, ard gave
bonds to appear some days afterwards for ex-
animation. The following Card from the
Managers, shows the extent of damages &nd
how they bear their loss.
A CAaD.-The managers of the Boston
Theatre, return their sincere and thankful
gratitude TO those gentlemen, who, at the per-
sonal risk of their lives, so kindly and so
promptly afforded protection to their proper
ty, behind the curtain, from the violence and
illegal attacks Of mob, that forcibly entered
the Theatre on Wednesday evening last, and
committed an unprecedented outrage, by
breaking the chandeliers, lamps, box doors,
windows, &c, and destroying other property
to large amount Legal measures have been
taken to bring the offenders to punishment In
the mean time every exertion will be used to
repair the extensibe damage, and they hope
they shall be enabled to announce the re-
opening of the Theatre on Christmas Mon
day, Dec. G6th, with the domestic tragedy OF
GEORGE BARNwELL-Statcsman.

The eagerness which many people.

able reason they give for not subserib-

which, as we have no idea you ever
heard il, we will tell you. There lived,
on a certain time, sage matron, who
had a poor little rickety child, which
she was continually whipping to make
it go alone. Notwithstanding this ma
ternal kindness, the child was unable to
60 single step. "Why don't you go
alone, you little laundering brat" said
she. "Getup and try can't you! that's a
sweet child! Go three times across the
house all alone without falling once,
and then ma will help you.

Purified PyroIigneous Acid.

ufihCu yloiiSiiCo IACiu'
VIlHE use ofthis article appears 20 be per-
Il feet substitute for the common process Of
smoking meat. Very numerous experiments
have established the fact, tlrat the favour Of
meat prepared in this manner, is fully equal,
if not superior to that given in the common
mode of smoking. For safety, convenience,
economy, cleanliness and dispatch, this mode
seems to possess advantages overthe common
one.
There are two modes in which this acid is
used, with perhaps equal success. One is,
to mix 1t with the pickle which is put to the
meat, in the proportion Of one quartto $50 to
300 pounds of meat It's not material whe-
ther this be done when the meat is first sailed
or not. 1t should be suffered to remain three
or four weeks and then taken out and hung
up in any convenient place to dry.
The other mode, is simply to battle over
piece of meat with the acid, once, twice,
three or four tines according to its size. In
either mode, the quantity of acid necessary
will be about the same.
The proportion of one quart to 200 pounds
of meat viii be found enough to suit the taste
of some-others will be better pleased with
more.
Experiments are easily made. For salo BY
