The following is an extract OF a privste let
ter from Batavia, received this morning in the
city dated September 25:-
"The J~avanees are in a general state of in
surrection, particularly in the southwark and
middle districts, where several thousands. OF
the natives were assembled in arms, and re-
ceiving no check from the Dutch Government,
in consequence of the great reduction OF their
troops, such large acquisitions having been
made for their Macassar expedition. The num-
bers of the insurgents are daily increasing, and
assumes a more menacing aspect.
IAN expedition has gone out against them
from Samarang, which has been repulsed with
loss and some English resident has been killed.
A,general panic exists at Batavia, Samarang,
and Souralam. Every European resident has
been ordered out on duty for the protection Of
their respective settlements. All intercourse
with the interior is cut off
"The general opinion is, that without a time
ly supply Of troops, the European population
will be driven into the ocean.
CAT PaGang the Malays we're rising in all di-
~rections, and the military are quite insufficient
to suppress them the inhabitants here have
also been put in requisi,ion for the protection
of the City,,

oath Of fidelity to Constantine.
CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.
His Grace The Duke Of Norfolk, has returned
the following answer to Mr.. O'Gorman's let
ter, inviting him 10 take the Chair at the Meet
ing of the Roman Catholic Association in Dub
lin, on the 10th inst.
Fornham, Dec. 90, 1925.
SlR,-I beg YOU win assure the Catholics of
Ireland, that | highly prize the honor they have
conferred upon me, by inviting me TO fill the
chair, at the meeting of the Catholic .issocia
ton on tie 10th Of January next. 1t is with
unfeigned regret, tha, | feel called upon to de-
cline a station of such high importance Pos
sessing no property, and being distinguished
by no title, connecting me locally with Ireland.
| should consider it a presumption to take "a
chair, which, in my opinion, would be more
suitably filled by an Irish Catholic Nobleman,
of eminent private virtue, and long tried worth
The Irish Catholics will do me the justice to
DSileFe, tndt i take tue hnOot h'Ci! iHuiSSe ~
their welfare, and appreciate as ought to ap-
p~reciate, the value Of the entire cordially which
subsists between them and the English Catho'
lies, bound together as we are by the same
views, Interests, and duties, by common faith
and common wrongs.
The Irish Catholics will find me-, in all sea-
sons, the active promoter of every measure cal
culated TO relieve Ireland from the disgraceful
remnants Of a partial code, which has so long
oppressed and disfgured that fair portion OF
the British Empire, condemned to s%terility her
fertile soil, and sunk in AFFECT misery her active
hardy and sagacious people.
The injurious effects brought upon the whole
community, by the unjust & impolitic coercion
of a portion of il, are now clearly understood,
and l am fully convinced, the day Cannot be
far distant, when the Catholics OF Ireland will
enjoy the protection an! happiness they deserve
under the mild administrator OF just and equal
laws.
To you, Sir, personally, and 10 Mr.. shiel,
return my sincere thanks, for the catering ex-
preston Of your good opinion.
Ihave the honor to be, Sir, your faithful, ODE
dent, and humble servant, NORFOLK.
Nicholas Purcell O'Gorman, Esq.
Secretery to the Catholics OF Ireland.
