INDIA. [From the Hobart Town Advertiser, June 15.]
We have Singapore papers to the 9th April, but, beyond some* additional scraps of English news, find little in them worth recording. The Singajwre Free Press says :—: — We hear of wars and rumours of wars on every side, The preparation for war between Tiingauu and Pahang, which we formerly noticed, are said to be advancing apace. Actual hostilities ate stated to prevail between the countries of Acheen and Dilli. The people of Batußara areasseited to be at war with the inhabitants of the interior, and intestinal disturbances prevail -in Perak, some of the principal chiefs being up in arms against each other. Cholera, or a disease similar in ils effects, is said to prevail at Salengcre at present, anfl has caused considerable mortality amongst the* population. Cholera prevails in the Laraponga (Sumatra), at Samarang, Rangnwnngi, and the Preanger Regencies in Java, and in the south east part of Borneo. It is particularly fatal at the cod mines, near Baojerroassing. The Regent of Banjar (Belelin»), in the iplaud of Bali, was carried off by cholera on the 31st December, and his nephew and successor died ftora the same disease on the 9th January. Accounts from Palembang have beeo received to the 4th March. R o jr.h Tiang Aiam' was still in the Atnpat Law any, arfl appeared to find it more and more difficult to maintain his posiuon. j The preparations (or attacking him and bringing | him to subjection were far a ivanceci. In the other parfa of the residency quiet prevailed. A landslip bad taken place in the residency of Banjurnas, in Java, which buried twenty-four of the inhabitants. A report Had reached Ternate that c. prophet named Korrfao Konora, had risen in one of the Papuan Islands," uho had proclaimed himself Rajah, and was endeavouring to withdraw the population from their allegiance to their lawlul chief, the Sultan of Tidore. It is said that he has taken up his residence in the Jeknd of Maoor (on the north coast of New Guinea), and that rhe Rpjah* Babaree is one of his chief supporters. Extensive preparations were being made to carry on the Burmese war with vigour and determination, A Javanese, in the Kotta Sidayu, in a fit of insanity, wounded twenty persona with n sword, oL whom four died, and aharv.'ards put an end to his own life by leaping into a well.
