The exported articles are distributed amongst the inhabitants of Borneo and the numerous small
islands surrounding it, being an average of about half a dollar to each individual as the value of in dividual transactions-our calculation is based on the minimum estimate of population.
In our trading transactions with Borneo, the Dutch profess not to interfere; indeed they affect a total unconcern. The ground of Dutch alarm is our forming a Settlement at Laboan, a small island (half the size of Singapore) situated on the N. W. Coast of Borneo, opposite the mouth of the River, Borneo Proper, on which it is proposed to form a Settlement. The total value of imparts and ex- ports at Laboan do not amonet to dollars - 50,000 annually so that the commercial value of the island cannot enter into the calculations of the Dutch, when summing up the evils, which will reanit to their territories by the establisnment of a Sestle-

Singapore has been or can he so little affected by the formation of a small rival at Laboon that its establishment or abandonment is a matter of indif ference, especially as the produce of the island is chiefly monopolized by one individual," The trad- ing tribes of the archipelago will resort only where they can dispose of their produce to advantage and make profitable return investments, and since place in the eastern sens affords the same ad- vantages as Singapore, these traders will continuo to resort hither even were Labonin completely co-
The Holanders have of late scan their kingdom divided into two monarchies, their trade every year become less, and look with much jealousy on every movement of the English as though they were convinced that the whole of the Duch Settle. ments in the gast, the krt slades of their former maritime and colonial prosperity, will ere long be- submerged in that mighty Empire over which Vic- toria reigns, the most potent sovereign on whom a royal diadem has rosted. The several islands of the archipelago over which the Dutch now exercise partial sway inust sooner or later be amalgamated with and yield to the all prevailing influence of British arms and institutions; the event may be delayed but its consummation will only be render ed more complete.
The bursts of national indignation and the threats that issue from the flague can serve only to hasten an ovent looked for, we are almost tempted to write hoped for, age, fully expected.

The conduct
the treaty itself cannot go for more. of the government in reference to art. 9th clearly proves that, in practies the treaty was alike repu diated by both parties, excepting so much of it qa. was found to be mutually advantageous. Neglect to issue the instructions contemplated in the 6th art. Treaty of 1994 was as culpable on the part of the Dutch as the English: no time was stipykted for their being sent, or did the treaty set forth which of the two contracting powers were to despatch the order in advance of the other; hence either England or Holland may be assumed to have brok- en the treaty, according to our impression of the duty of the former or the latter to issue the instruje- tions which formed a part of and were essential to the Treaty.
From our last obanrvations it will appear that neglect to issue those instructions which would. have kept each party within certain prescribed bouwlarice was mutual, the advantages, probably, · were also expected to bó mutual, and hence neither of the contracting powers ventured to accuss the other of bad faith. But now that the Dutch find- themselves to be somewhat outwitted in diplo macy, they appear to wish to forget their former wilful obliviousness and seek to bind us down to furlongs, aeres, and fest, accompanied with so many threats as makes their conduct appear very de diculoos--the Dutch and English adopard a sliding gunter, but the former complains that whiter they. have been pushing on the scale in on arithmetic pro. portion, the latter have made is to slide in a genme trial ratio b
