| Bntquia. March Cove have no event OF con-
sequence to notice with regard TO the lnsurrec-
tion.-It is certain the Insurgents intend taking
the field again, when the rains cease. Fears
are entertained for the loyalty OF the Emperor
of Solo, and his subjects. The change in the
currency will have tendency to promote revolt
as at present rate Rupee can be exchanged for
only 100 dots, which at old rates passed for
100. The simple natives do not understand
how tina: can be, and in truth it falls heavy up
| on them, as the doit in the Bazars will not pur-
| chase more food or any thing else than under
old rates.-Some few hundred troops have ar
rived within month or two from the Neither
lands This number will not make up for the
number Of deaths. In general view, the al
fairs Of Netherlands in India are in gloomy
state, and very energetic measures can only re-
store peace and insure the existence OF the Dutch
power. A large military force is absolutely ne
cessarv. and that must be sent from the mother
country.
We have advices from Manila, and reports
from Siam TO about 10th Feb At the former
place, Sugars had been sold as high as 81 and
81, and the market CLEANED. The crop IS COM
ing in, bu. there is no probability OF price going
below Sc this year AT Siam, Sugars were Sc

Coffee at Padang about 9 SIP. dollars, all char

The Agents Of Netherlands Trading Compa-
ny has commenced operations, we cannot form
an opinion to what extent they may trade, the
manner Of carrying it on, or what further pri-
vileges the King may grant this Company
They have now the preference in all business of
Government, and the Coffee of the Regencies is
sold them for 10 years, say 10000 piculs per
ann. 1t is no, improbable they will have the
Spices, Tin, Copper, and perhaps the Japan
trade ere long.
! The commencement of their business has not
proved suspicious: Many merchants are. clos
| ing up business, and will leave this place with
in one year-more than one half of the most en-
terprising will be away.
Brig Franklin, Tredwell, ofSalem, was spok
en- January Is, lat 40 l3 S. Ion. SO E bound
for Padang-all we'll In Feb. there were two
Am. ships and one brig, (names not known
loading pepper at Padang, at 7 a 81.
| March 27.-Our accounts from Samarang by
this days post are unfavourable. The lnsur
gents are moving in two columns towards that
place, and communication between Solo (the
head quarters of General Van Geyn) is said to
be Interrupted The humber of DUTCH troops
few, and great mortality is raging among
them II is our opinion that the rebels will not
attempt Samarang, but they may surround the
place. except that part bounded by the sea. Gen
| De Rack left here yesterday in the steam boat,
and we regretllo say, not accompanied with any
troops. Now and then ship arrives with 100
or so soldiers from Europe, just enough to
keep up the dead list. We do not doubt there
were or TO- 900 troops despatched for this from
Netherlands by Feb. or as soon as the ice broke
up.
No change in markets-the Braganza, Sulli-
van. passed Angler Esd inst. From n. York,
bound here.
April Eve addressed you per Telegraph
down to Cd inst. giving all information that we
deemed interesting-sinc when but little has
occurred. Some bold pirates have appeared
off Rembang,& the steam boat is alter them
No event has transpired from the Insurgents,
and we believe their numbers and movements
are generally exaggerated. The rebels do not
discover energy or enterprise. And the Dutch
are too weak to exhibit. Samarang and Sour
abay are no doubt perfectly safe from the enemy.
The disturbances apprehended in Cheribon
have not broke out, and all appears quiet, in
Packalongang We should not be surprised
if peace is bought soon-little or no business
doing-prices Of almost every article nominal.
/ April s.-We have nothing new TO add.
Burke has paid formal tribute, in one Of his
most elaborate productions, to the art of dan
cling. "Dancing," he observes, Sin its improy-
ed state, makes part of the entertainment Of the
wise, of the education of the most yirtuous &
re6nes the manners OF all civilized people, with
out corrupting the morals"
