The Salem Observer of Saturday con
tains the following letter from Messrs. Shll
laber 81 Co. to their friends in Salem, dated
Batavia, September 9th.
Since our last OF the 3D. and 10th, no r.
vent of consequence has occurred inthc at-
fairs of this Island. No battle has been
fought between the contending parties
Gen. Van Gcm moved out of Sonarong
days since, with the forces under his com
mand, and offered battle to body of about
10 or 10000 insurgents-they declined and
retired the General was not in sufficient
force 10 follow. What will be the event OF
these troubles we cannot anticipate, but
think it not improbable the rebels will be
wearied and starved to their home-they
show no energy or system, although they
are collected in two large bodies. Reports
say General de Rock, who is at Diocioc
carta $50 miles interior of Samarang) will
move upon the largest body of rebels on
one side, and Gen. Van Gein upon the other,
and compel them to action-the event will
probably be decisive.

institutions, which modify these cncum-
stances, it is absurd 20 make il depend up
on climate alone. Extreme cold, as vel
a. extreme heat, by enfccbling the consti-
tuition, seems 10 check and restrain that
progress in Improvement which a people
might otherwise make; but institutions and
manners struggle successfully against the
climate. Egypt, under the troPic, and
Scandinavia, under the polar circle, have
equally given birth to heroes, men OF &C.
MUS, and philosophers.
The descendants Of Canaan, the Pheni-
clans, soon lost the empire of the sea; A
thens rivalled Tyre; Grccian city ruled
over conquered Egypt; Carthage submit
ted to Rome; Europe seized the sceptre OF
the world. At this first epoch, all clylllza-
ton was collected around the Mcdltcrane-
an; it was almost the only sea upon which
there was any navigation. A second ep-
och commenced, and the march Of clyiliza-
ton was still intimately connected with the
progress ofnavigation. The compass and
Columbus appeared. A new world saw
cur vessels land Oh its shores. A new
Europe has arisen, and continues to ad-
vance with giant steps IN the career OF I'M
provement The Atlantic ocean has be-
come what the Mediterranean was before,
the great highway and thoroughfare Of
civilized nations.

Brazil were becoming more apparent, and
preparations were making for it in every
