SEIZURE OF Az AmERicAS VESSEL BY THE
Du-cH.--A Batavia (Java) letter Of February u
according TO the New York papers) states that a
few days previous an American schooner, called
the Flirt, was brought into Batavia Roads by a
war steamer from Paembang:
"Thc owner and all on board were made pris
oners on a charge of high treason, for endeayorng
to induce the Sultan OF Jambie, or Dianbia, TO re
volt against the Dutch. The recent disaIcciion at
Palembapg and ito neigbborhocd has greatly
alarmed the Netherlands government, which is
well aware that the natives have affection for its
rule According To the Dutch version Of this trca-
sonable affair, IL would appear that the Flirt ar
rived at Palembapg, and that the owner, Mr.. Glib
con, stated that he was on pleasure cruise, as a
man Of fortune. After a short time, during which
the utmost cordially and hospitality existed be-
the suspicious OF the authorities were excited, and
strict watch kept over the vessels movements.
The mate, or supcrcnrgo. who IL said TO be OF n
romantic disposition, was despatched by Mr. Glib
son with letter TO the Sultan Of Janbe, written
in the Mnlayan language, and stating that, " the
Sultan wished IL, Mr.. Gibson would enable him TO
throw of the Dutch yoke; that there was a large
fleet Of American vessels Of war, who would ass,st
the Flrt against the Dutch. The mate travelled
in a native drcss 10 avoid suspicion, and when cap
tured the letter alluded 60 was found concealed In
one OF his st ckings. The matter bad caused
much excitement in Batavia, ne the accused par
ties are 90 be tried for reasonable designs against
the Dutch government
"On his arrival nt Batavia Mr.. Gibson was kept
close prisoner, but released by the court, on
the ground that the affair appeared TO be no more
than foolish escapods On the same day the pro-
curer general had Mr.. Gibson and crew imprisoned,
and NJ the last accounts they were incarceraied,
awaiting trial before the supreme court. Mr.. Glib
con had addrcsscd letter 10 the American conno
dore, begging bis interference and protection"
