"You may state to the editor Of the Patriot
that the Patriots have possession OF the whole
of the country from the walls OF this place to
Rio Grande. Since arrived here two severe
actions have been fought, and OF 1900 to 1000
men, who left this under command OF General
Bentes Maduel, only afew stragglers have as yet
returned. The Patriots are commanded by a
General Lavalleja; and in the first action took
600 prisoners, killed 500; and l suppose the
second action, which we have not yet got the
particulars of, was finishing stroke-Manu-
ell is a prisoner. The Patriots come in sight OF
the town, and Judging from the feelings OF the
people, the cause Of the Imperialists here may
be considered desperate, as a4large proportion
of the inhabitants are for the Patriots. and Bue-
nos Ayres is entirely friendly 10 them.
Boston Dec. 2o.-Captain Brewster, OF ship
Pagoda, arrived at this port in ls days from
Calcutta, informs that the Burmese war was
suspended owing to the wet season, and that II
was very sickly among the European troops;
that the cholera morbus was making great ra-
wages among the natives in Calcutta, no less
than 1900 having fallen victims to that disor-
der the last l9 days previous to his departure.
Batavia, Sept. 2l.-Since our last per the
Romulus, no event Of note occurred with re-
gard to the Rebels-our force in Samarang is
now quite equal to its defence. General Van
Gein moved out to give the enemy battle, but
they fed; since when We have no accounts OF
their movements.
The minds of Europeans are becoming tran
quilted as the Insurgents do not discover en-
ergy to endanger our large towns. What their
future operations may be cannot be anticipated
perhaps hunger and want may drive them to
their homes, or 10 make one desperate effort
upon the Dutch troops. A few days since a
report was abroad thar Gen. Van Gein had
brought the Natives to battle and conquered
with great slaughter, but there is no truth In 1t
The destruction Of coffee trees by the rebels
has been considerable, but we have no estimate
of quantity thai can be relied upon. Circum-
stances induce us to believe ii is the intention
of Gen. De Rock and Van Geia to bring their
enemies to battle very soon. A large body,
(reports say $4,000 men) is concentrated near
Diociocar.a, interior of Samarang 80 miles,
which the two generals wish 10 get at, are max
ing arrangement to effect it, The Madness
troops are faithful and brave, compared to the
Javans We think there are to 1000 OF the
former under the generals. Around Samarang,
(say IS to 90 miles distanO there is said to be
large bodies of insurgents under the command
of the native Regent Of Aram-a resolule
young chief, but without experience. Sama-
rang will be exposed to these bodies OF men it
Gen. Van Gein moves to form Junction with
Gen. De Rock. The movements OF the two
Generals, ii is expected will bring the enemy
under command of two princes Of the blood

Sept. 24--No new event has come to my
knowledge regarding the Dutch native forces.
