But, however these successes on the part of the Dutch might tend to the

immediate tranquillity of the country, the authority of the _Susúnan_

had been seriously shaken. The prince possessed neither the esteem nor

attachment of his subjects. To his evil star it was attributed that the

empire had not only lost much of its ancient grandeur, but was brought

to the brink of ruin. The chiefs no longer placed any confidence in

him; they despised the man who had granted such humiliating terms to

the Dutch, and who, to obtain their temporary aid, had thus sacrificed

the permanent integrity of the empire: they, therefore, were inclined

to make an effort to regain what had been lost.

The principal character and prime mover in this rebellion was the

_Pangéran Mungkubúmi_, a younger brother of the _Susúnan_. During

the Chinese war he had obtained considerable experience, and was

distinguished for boldness and enterprize of character. On the Chinese

being driven from _Kérta Súra_, he had thrown himself on the protection

of the Dutch, and was now residing with his brother at _Kérta Súra_.

Next to _Mangkubúmi_, the most prominent character in the war of

Java was _Páku Nagára_, who was also called _Mas Sáyed_ but perhaps

better known as the grandfather of _Práng Widóno_. After the defeat of

the Chinese at _Brambánan_, this prince had also returned to court;

but being coldly received, again reared the standard of revolt, and

escaping into the southern mountains assumed the title of _Susúnan Adi

Prakúsa_.

_Mangunónang_, the minister of _Susúnan Kúning_, and _Mérta Púra_, had

established themselves in the province of _Sukawáti_, refusing to come

into any terms. They invited _Mangkabúmi_ to come over to them, and

promised their assistance in raising him to the throne. _Mangkubúmi_

accepted their invitation; but finding himself deceived by them, he,

by his own exertions and those of the son of _Mérta Púra_, obtained

possession of that province, and established himself under the title of

_Pangéran Adipáti_ of _Sukawáti_. He was, however, afterwards induced

to listen to terms offered him by the _Susúnan_, who again received

him into favour, and conferred upon him the independent government of

_Sukawáti_. But these terms were not granted by the emperor without

exciting the jealousy and apprehensions of the minister _Prínga

Láya_, who easily availed himself of an early opportunity, when the

Governor-General, Van Imhoff, was on a visit to _Súra Kértá_, to

represent the danger arising from any subject possessing so independent

and extensive authority, as that recently granted by the _Susúnan_ to

_Mangkubúmi_.

It was accordingly determined to deprive _Mangkubúmi_ of this tract of

country, and the resolution was personally communicated to him in the

hall of audience. The chief feigned obedience; but in the course of the

night, secretly quitted the capital, and assembling his party proceeded

to _Sukawáti_, where he again reared the standard of rebellion. From

the flight of this prince is dated what is usually termed the war of

Java, which took place in the Javan year 1671.

The Dutch now took an active part in the war, but found that they

had enemies to contend with who possessed considerable ability and

enterprize, and who in the past disturbances of the country had gained

much experience. _Páku Nagára_ was, in the first instance, defeated,

and fled for protection to _Mangkubúmi_, who received him kindly, gave

him his daughter, _Rátu Bandára_, in marriage, and appointed him his

_Pateh_, or minister. The united forces of these two chiefs resisted

the attacks of the Dutch for about twelve months, when _Mangkubúmi_

assumed the title of _Susúnan Matárem_; but a dispute arising between

him and _Páku Nagára_, who demanded his own nomination as presumptive

successor, _Mangkubúmi_ took back his daughter, and the chiefs parted

in enmity.

While _Mangkubúmi_ lay with his forces at _Bunáran_, a village on

the south coast, and distant about ten miles from the present _Yúgya

Kérta_, intelligence was received of the death of the _Susúnan_; and

such was the extensive power of _Mangkubúmi_ at the time, that the body

of the deceased could not be removed to the consecrated burial place

at _Megíri_ in the southern hills, on account of his forces, and was

in consequence interred near the tomb of _Jáka Tíngker_, sultan of

_Pájang_, at _Lawian_, near _Súra Kérta_, whence this prince received

the appellation of _Susúnan Séda Lawigan_.

_Mangkubúmi_ had evinced a desire to come to terms, and gave assurances

to the governor of his attachment to the Dutch, but demanded that his

son should be proclaimed _Pangéran Adipáti Matárem_ (heir apparent); a

condition to which the Dutch would not listen.

The reduced state of the _Susúnan's_ authority before his death, and

the distracted condition of affairs, afforded an opportunity too

favourable to be overlooked by the Dutch, of at once attaining the

grand object of all their political interference, the sovereignty

of the country. A weak prince on his death-bed was, under existing

circumstances, easily brought to any terms, in the hope of continuing

even the nominal succession in his family. He was compelled, by a

formal official deed, "to abdicate for himself and his heirs, the

sovereignty of the country, conferring the same on the Dutch East India

Company, and leaving it to them to dispose of it, in future, to any

person they might think competent to govern it for the benefit of the

Company and of Java." After recommending his children, and especially

the heir apparent, to the protection of the governor, the unfortunate

monarch expired. This singular and important deed was dated on the 11th

December, 1749.[278]

From this deed is derived the right by which the Dutch East India

Company subsequently granted in _fee_ to the native princes, the

administration of those provinces which still continued under native

government.

On the death of this unfortunate prince, _Mangkubúmi_ caused himself

to be formally proclaimed _Susúnan Pakubúana Senapáti Matárem_, in the

presence of a more numerous assemblage of the princes and chiefs than

attended the investiture of the new _Susúnan_ raised by the Dutch.

He sent ambassadors to the Dutch governor with many assurances of

attachment and fidelity, requesting to be acknowledged as sovereign,

and soliciting that the body of the deceased might be delivered to him,

for the purpose of solemn interment.

The son of the deceased _Susúnan_, however, was preferred, and at

the age of nine years was raised to the throne, under the title of

_Pakubúana_ the third.

The enmity of the rebellious chiefs to each other soon vented itself

in open hostility, and a pitched battle ensued, in which _Mangkubúmi_

was defeated and driven to the westward. Soon, however, recruiting his

forces, he returned, and had two successful engagements with the Dutch,

one at _Jánar_, a village in _Báglen_, the other at _Tídar_, a hill in

_Kedú_. In the battle of _Jánár_ the Javan forces allowed the brunt of

the action to fall upon the Dutch, who were completely routed: of those

who had escaped the sword many were drowned in an adjoining marsh, and

the rest were murdered in great numbers by the country people. The

affair of _Tídar_ was of less importance. The forces of _Mangkubúmi_

were sometimes reduced to a few hundred, and at other times amounted to

as many thousands, the chiefs and people deserting him in his distress,

and flocking to him in his prosperity. After three victories obtained

over the Dutch, he marched towards the northern coast, fell upon

_Pakalóng'an_, and plundered the place.

_Mangkubúmi_ now carried all before him, and was once at the gates of

_Sólo_, which capital the Javans represent to have been saved from

plunder by the superstitious veneration for the gun _niái stómi_, which

the rebels no sooner descried on the _alun-alun_ than they sounded a

retreat. The Dutch, in the hope of allaying his displeasure, had given

the _Susúnan_ the choice of his officers of state, and prohibited the

resident from taking his seat on the throne with him (an indelicate

assumption which had previously given the greatest disgust to the

Javans); but after nine years of harassing warfare it was still

found impracticable to reduce the rebellious chiefs, or to restore

the country to order. The Dutch, therefore, availing himself of the

abdication in their favour executed by the deceased _Susúnan_, listened

to the proposals of _Mangkubúmi_, who offered peace, on condition

that one half of Java should be ceded to him. A meeting took place at

_Gingánti_, a village not far distant from _Súra-kérta_, at which were

present the _Susúnan_, _Mangkubúmi_, and the governor of the north-east

coast of Java, when a treaty was signed.

One of the conditions of this treaty was, that _Mangkubúmi_ should

use his utmost exertions to subdue _Páku Nagára_. In conformity with

this condition he immediately proceeded against him; but _Páku Nagára_

making his appearance with his whole force, obliged him to retreat

and conceal himself in a cavern, while his troops, flying in every

direction, allowed his camp to be burned. _Mangkubúmi_, however, soon

collected his forces again. The Dutch offered a reward for the head

of _Páku Nagára_, who was obliged to proceed to the eastward, being

pursued and his whole force finally overthrown. He still refused to

submit, and the celebrity of his name and exploits was sufficient to

recruit his ranks.

In the year A.D. 1755, _Mangkubúmi_ was solemnly proclaimed by the

Dutch Governor, under the title of _Súltan Amangkubuána Sénapáti

Ingalága Abdul Ráchman Sahédin Panatagáma Kulifatólah_.

The united forces of the _Susúnan_ and _Sultan_ now resumed the attack

upon _Páku Nagára_; several of his chiefs were forced to submit, and

he himself, after having prolonged the war for upwards of two years,

seeing no _favourable_ chance or hope of ultimate success, at last

sent his brother to the _Susúnan_, requesting that certain districts

and the southern mountains might be granted to him for his support,

promising on that condition to lead a quiet and peaceable life for

the future. In reply to this he was informed, that the partition of

the lands had already taken place; that part of these lands might,

however, be granted, but that it was first necessary he should make

his appearance at court. To this he assented; and it being stipulated

that the _Susúnan_ should pay him the compliment of receiving him at

the distance of half an hour's walk from _Sura-kérta_, he came in,

and throwing himself at the feet of the _Susúnan_ was kindly raised

again, desired to sit on the bench, and assured that he had nothing to

apprehend.

Peace was then concluded, on the conditions that _Páku Nagára_,

commonly called _Mas Sáyed_, should assume the rank and title of

_Pangéran Adipáti Mangku Nágara_, with an assignment of land to the

extent of four thousand _cháchas_, in the districts of _Kadwang_,

_Malésa_, and the southern mountains.

Thus ended, in the year 1758, a war which had lasted twelve years, in

which the finest provinces of the island were laid waste, thousands

slain on both sides, and the independence of the empire finally

annihilated. The expenses incurred by the Dutch on account of the war,

from the year 1746 until the peace, amounted to 4,286,006. 12. 8.

florins; but, in the result, they acquired, if not the acknowledged

sovereignty of the whole island, at least an effectual control over its

future administration.

The _Susúnan_, on his death, was succeeded, in the Javan year 1714, by

his son, the present _Susúnan_, under the title of _Susúnan Pakubuána_

the fourth.

The sultan established his capital a few miles distant from the

ancient capital of _Matárem_, at _Yúgya-kérta_ (_Djocjo Carta_) the

present residence of his successors. He died, after a long reign,

in the Javan year 1718, and was succeeded by his eldest surviving

son, under the title of _Amangkubuána_ the second. This prince was

deposed by the British government in the year 1812, and succeeded by

his son, _Amangkubuána_ the third, who dying, was again succeeded, in

1815, by his son, a child of nine years of age, the present sultan,

_Amangkubuána_ the fourth.

_Pangéran Prang Widóno_, still residing at _Súra Kérta_, is the

grandson of _Pangéran Adipáti Mángku Nagára_, and continues to enjoy

the independent administration of the lands assigned to him at the

settlement in 1758.

By the final settlement of the country in 1758 the Dutch reserved to

themselves the direct administration of all the provinces lying on the

northern sea-coast, from _Chéribon_ to the eastern extremity of the

island of _Madúra_; but the inland and southern provinces stretching

from the islands of _Chéribon_ to _Málang_, were restored to the native

princes, between whom the lands were divided in nearly equal portions

by _cháchas_, according to the population and the peculiar usage of the

country, four thousand _cháchas_ from the share of the _Susúnan_ being

set apart for _Mangku Nagára_.

The terms on which the successors of these princes were permitted to

exercise the sovereignty, suffered no material alteration until the

year 1808, when Marshal Daendels officially declared that the clauses

of the existing treaties, by which those princes held their territory

in fee from the Dutch, were void, and that in future he should consider

them as independent princes, having no other relation to the European

government than such as must of necessity exist between a weaker and

stronger state in the immediate neighbourhood of each other. At this

time the court of _Yúgya Kérta_, sensible of owing its establishment

chiefly to the military success of its founder, and the weakness of

the Dutch and the _Susúnan_, and that it never fully submitted to the

terms of the treaty of 1755 (which it is even stated were imposed

upon the sovereign by a false translation in the Javan language)

evinced a desire of independence and an appearance of internal

strength, which called for the immediate interference of the European

authority. Marshal Daendels, therefore, marched to _Yúgya Kérta_

with a considerable force, and a negociation being opened, a treaty

was entered into, by which the reigning sultan consented to resign

the administration of the country into the hands of his son, who was

appointed to exercise the same under the title of regent, and to cede

certain provinces.

But the stipulations of this treaty, thus entered into, had not been

carried into effect, when in the month of August, 1811, the British

forces arrived in Java. The sultan, it is true, had ostensibly resigned

the administration to his son, but he still took his usual place on the

throne, and not one of the districts ceded by treaty to the Dutch had

then been actually transferred.

if still living. He then approached it, took it by the hand, and made

his obeisance to it as to a living person: all the officers and men

[278] During the reign of this prince, on the 9th of September 1738, a

contract was entered into between the Dutch and the sultan of Bantam,

of which the following were the chief articles.

1st. The Dutch having deemed it necessary to send a detachment to

_Lampung Túlang Báwang_, in order to save that province from total

ruin, the sultan promised to cause a fort, or _páger_, to be erected at

his expense, on the spot which should be deemed most eligible for that

purpose, either on the _Palembang_ river, or any where else.

2d. That the sultan should keep this fort in constant repair at his own

expense.

3d. That the sultan should repay to the Dutch the expense of

maintaining a small establishment, consisting of a resident, a

commandant, one sergeant, two corporals, twenty-four privates, one

drummer, and three artillery men.

4th. That the ground on which the fort was to be built, should be ceded

to the Dutch, with an extent of one hundred roods in every direction.

This ground to revert back to the sultan, in the event of the Dutch

establishment breaking up, in the same manner as had taken place in

regard to _Lampung Samángka_.

6th. With a view to hold out due encouragement to the industry of the

_Lampung_ people, it was agreed that, previously to exporting their

pepper to _Bantam_, they should state the quantity to the Company's

resident, who should furnish them with a certificate, enabling them to

obtain early payment, pursuant to the existing contracts.

7th. The Company's servants at _Bantam_ and _Lampung Túlang Báwang_,

were authorized to confiscate any quantity of pepper which was exported

from the latter place, unprovided with a certificate from the resident.

The present Susúnan is consequently the eighteenth in succession from

the first Mahomedan sovereign, and not perhaps less than the fortieth

from the first Hindu prince. The average reign during the Mahomedan

government is nineteen years. Taking the same average for the period

of the Hindu government, its origin would be four hundred and eighteen

years anterior to the destruction of _Majapáhit_, A. J. 1400, and may

be referred to the close of the tenth century of the Javan era, or the

middle of the eleventh century of the Christian era.

ACCOUNT OF THE SEVERAL PRINCIPAL DIVISIONS OF JAVA AND MADURA.

In several parts of this work, and in particular when treating of

agriculture and revenue, reference has been made to the changes

introduced by the British government in the internal management of

the country, and to the information of a statistical nature which was

collected with regard to its resources.

It may not be uninteresting to the reader to possess, in a compressed

form, the result of the surveys and inquiries which were then set on

foot, as far as the same were completed at the close of the British

administration on Java. The Appendix L. contains a copy of the

proclamation and of the general instructions issued by the government;

the latter will sufficiently explain the principle on which the tables

for the eastern districts were compiled.

BANTAM.

Bantam, once rich in its pepper plantations and the emporium of the

Archipelago, had, in consequence of the restrictions of the Dutch

company and the vicinity of Batavia, lost all its trade and importance,

long before the arrival of the British.

The succession of the throne of Bantam was generally disposed of by

the influence of the Dutch government: but the administration of the

country and the collection of the port duties were till very lately

entirely entrusted to him. This European influence, though strongly

resisted in the first instance, had been long acquiesced in, till an

attempt of the Dutch government, in the year 1808, to draw additional

benefit from this province, gave occasion to an insurrection. The

successive measures of introducing the cultivation of coffee into

that part of the island, of opening the communication by means of new

roads, and of constructing a new harbour, first at _Mew_ Bay, and

afterwards at _Merak_ Bay, imposed new and unusual burthens on the

people; and so many deserted from the public works that an order was

issued to the Resident, requiring him to inform the sultan that his

first minister should be held responsible for the due execution of the

public task assigned to the sultan's subjects. The desertion still

continuing, an order still more peremptory was issued to the Resident,

requiring him to call upon the sultan to deliver up his first minister

immediately. In carrying these orders into execution, the Resident

having imprudently risked his person, was murdered. This fatal accident

was the occasion of sending a considerable military force to Bantam,

by which an immediate and thorough change in the native government was

effected. The reigning sultan was removed from the throne and banished

to Amboina, and a relative was raised to the sovereign power.

This prince was placed under regulations dictated by the Dutch; for

so fallen had the sovereigns of this once flourishing and powerful

kingdom now become, that the form and solemnity of a treaty was not

deemed necessary. The sultan ceded part of his territories to the

westward, adjacent to the environs of Batavia, the bad administration

of which had frequently given occasion to disturbances in the Batavian

districts. The new sultan was allowed to administer the rest of his

dominions under the superior rule of the Dutch government.

The public works to be carried on in Bantam, and the unusual burthens

they imposed on the people, continued however to excite, from time to

time, disturbances and insurrections. On one occasion a detachment,

consisting of a lieutenant and eighteen dragoons, were surprised and

murdered by the inhabitants. Several native _Pangérans_ and chiefs

fell victims to the same spirit of discontent and revenge, and another

change in the person of the sultan was thought advisable; the new

sultan was in consequence allured on board a vessel, and conveyed to

Batavia, and in his place another chief was installed sultan of the

high lands of Bantam, the Dutch reserving to themselves the direct

administration of the low lands.

The country, however, remaining still in a disturbed state, the

_Pangéran Akmet_ united under his banner the discontented people of all

descriptions, in a more regular opposition to the European authority.

From this time an extraordinary military force was constantly kept in

Bantam: all attempts, however, to arrest the person of _Akmet_ failed.

His influence increased so much that proposals were made to him of a

cession of part of the country: these, however, not being listened to,

it was determined to abandon the interior to his depredations, until

the inhabitants themselves, wearied of his arbitrary proceedings, might

seek refuge with the European government.

The Dutch force being withdrawn from Bantam, _Akmet_ availed himself

of the presence of the British cruizers, during the blockade in 1811,

to strengthen his influence by an intercourse with them, which he

easily effected by furnishing them with supplies plundered by him from

the inhabitants. By the cruizers he was considered as an unfortunate

prince, maintaining his independence against the Dutch; and when the

British troops landed, the sultan was his prisoner, and all Bantam

under his controul.

At the conquest of Java by the British forces the extensive tracts

of this fertile province were thus in the hands of a lawless rebel,

the inhabitants were in a state of revolt, and universal anarchy and

distrust had prevailed for several years. All idea of raising a revenue

on account of government had been abandoned; and the general settlement

of the country under European controul, was the most that could be

hoped for.

In the year 1813 the sultan voluntarily resigned the administration of

the country into the hands of the British government, in consideration

of an annual pension of ten thousand Spanish dollars. With the detailed

system of land revenue introduced into this province, an accurate

survey was made of all the northern divisions; and a settlement having

been made with each individual cultivator, the extent of population

stated in the annexed table, as far as these districts are concerned,

may be considered as in general correct. The population of the southern

districts is estimated; and it may be observed, that the total

population rather exceeds than falls short of what is stated.

BATAVIA.

Of the splendour and magnificence which procured for this capital the

title of the Queen of the East, little is now to be found. Streets have

been pulled down, canals half filled up, forts demolished, and palaces

levelled with the dust. The state-house, where the supreme court of

justice and magistracy still assemble, remains; merchants transact

their business in the town during the day, and its warehouses still

contain the richest productions of the island, but few Europeans of

respectability sleep within its limits.

The following table comprises all fixed residents within the city

and its immediate suburbs, to the distance of about two miles. The

municipal regulations of this part of the island having been continued

in force, and the execution of them, for the most part, delegated to

Dutch authorities, it is to be apprehended that the return of the

population now given may be found deficient in accuracy. A poll-tax

being levied on the Chinese, and other town duties rendering it the

interest of the parties to withhold information as to the exact

numbers, it is also probable that the total amount considerably exceeds

that now given: certainly it does not fall short of it.

ENVIRONS OF BATAVIA.

The lands comprehended under the denomination of the Batavian environs

(_Ommelanden_), originally formed the principal part of the _Jakátra_

dominions. The native chiefs were early deprived of the administration

by the cautious policy of the Dutch, and the lands subsequently sold in

property to Europeans and others. According to an official valuation

in 1813, the amount of property in houses and lands, belonging to

individuals, in the city of Batavia and its environs, including

the private estates near _Buitenzorg_, exceeded eleven millions of

rix-dollars silver, and the taxes were levied on that estimate.

Various systems of government had been attempted in this district

before the arrival of the British in 1811, but so inefficacious were

they, that it was considered unsafe for Europeans to travel without

arms. As a measure of police, a portion of this division, formerly

comprized within the _Ommelanden_, was recently annexed to the regency

of _Buitenzorg_, and formed into a separate administration. For the

population of these two divisions, as they now stand, see General

Table, Vol. I, page 62, Table II.

BATAVIAN OR PRIANGEN REGENCIES.

Each of these regencies was administered by a native chief, immediately

dependent on government, and without any power beyond his district. The

chiefs, however, were mostly allied by frequent intermarriages, and

traced their descent from different chieftains of the ancient empire

of _Pajajáran_. Separated, on the one hand, from the dominions of the

_Susúnan_ and sultan by the country of Chéribon, and on the other from

Bantam by the Batavian environs, their power never became formidable to

the European government. The coffee monopoly in the Western Districts

having been maintained on its former principle during the period of

the British administration, the inhabitants of these districts were

precluded from feeling the effects of the system introduced into the

more eastern districts; but as it was in contemplation, eventually,

to render the change general throughout the island, preparatory

measures were taken, and a survey of these districts being made,

the annexed statistical table was framed. The produce stated in the

table is estimated according to the native returns; these districts

likewise furnish an annual quantity of about seventy-five thousand

hundred-weight of coffee for the European market.

CHERIBON.

Chéribon fell under the European influence in the year 1666, and has

now been subject to it one hundred and fifty years. It was among the

first cessions made to the Dutch by the princes of _Matárem_.

This province had, like Bantam, been in a state of continued

insurrection for many years preceding the arrival of the English. The

importance of the town of _Chéribon_ has considerably declined, partly

in consequence of these commotions, and partly of epidemic fevers which

prevailed some years ago.

The extensive and fertile province of _Chéribon_ did not, under the

administration of the Dutch Company, yield those profits which were

expected from its great natural resources; especially of indigo,

coffee, and teak timber. The Sultans of _Chéribon_, descended from one

of the founders of the Mahomedan religion on Java, and on that account

objects of religious veneration among the more orthodox Mahomedans,

were always left in the entire management of the native administration.

The coffee and other produce exacted from the people, was delivered

by the Sultan, and paid for to him. Under this system, the residents

of _Chéribon_ enjoyed an annual income of from eighty to one hundred

thousand dollars (£23,000), while the Sultans were every year more and

more impoverished. At length an insurrection broke out in 1800, the

ostensible reason of which was the unjust removal of Sultan _Kanóman_,

who had been banished by the Dutch to Amboina, and the real cause

probably the great oppression of the common inhabitants, occasioned

by the distress of the Sultans, and the indiscriminate admission of

too many Chinese in the interior of the country. The reinstallation of

Sultan _Kanóman_, in 1808, by Marshal Daendals, did not appease the

minds of the people; and the unwillingness or inability of that prince

to restore the public tranquillity, led to an entirely new organization

of the country.

When the island was conquered by the British troops, the rebel, _Bágus

Rángen_, still maintained himself in the eastern parts of _Kráwang_,

in perfect defiance of the power of government, sternly rejecting

the offers of pardon and oblivion which were on that occasion offered

to him, and eluding or defeating all attempts to destroy or ensnare

him. Such was the veneration in which this man was regarded by the

people of these districts, and such the dread in which he was held

by the native chiefs (through whose means alone his apprehension was

to be accomplished), that he remained in perfect quiet and security,

maintained a correspondence with the disaffected throughout the

province, secured his regular supplies of ammunition and provisions

from all parts, and even from the town of _Chéribon_, and tranquilly

prepared for the ensuing rainy season, to appear again in arms and

ravage the country.

In a few months after the establishment of a British resident in the

district, the person of _Bágus Rángen_ was secured, and the country

reduced to a perfect state of tranquillity, in which it remained during

the whole period of the British administration.

The following extracts from the report of the gentleman[279] intrusted

with the introduction of the land revenue system into Chéribon, may

serve to illustrate the state of this province:--

"There is, perhaps, with the exception of the environs of Batavia and

Bantam, no part of the island of Java which has so severely felt the

bad effects of mismanagement as the district of _Chéribon_. These

effects are visible in the character of the people, who, even among

the Javans, are remarkable for a careless indifference to the pursuit

of gain, for indolence, for want of energy, and for a credulity and

ignorance, rendering them perpetually a prey to delusion. Within

the last forty years, in particular, a series of mismanagement and

oppression is said to have wrought a most unfavourable change in the

character of the people, to have destroyed the habits of industry, and

consequently to have changed even the aspect of the country, so that

it is no longer to be recognized as the fruitful district which it is

once represented to have been. Within the last seven years, famine,

mortality, and civil commotion, have contributed to aggravate the evils

of mismanagement, and in one or other form have desolated some of the

finest parts of the district.

"The history of the civil commotions alluded to afford a striking

illustration of the character of the inhabitants. It certainly gives no

countenance to the representation of those observers who ascribe to the

Javans in general a character of the most invincible apathy, stupidity,

and indolence, as if these qualities had been irrevocably engrafted

upon their very natures. A better knowledge of their real character

enables us to draw very different inferences, and to ascribe to them a

much larger share of sensibility, than could from reasoning be expected

to result from the apparently overwhelming causes which contribute to

degrade their faculties and blunt their energies and exertions.

"It is an instructive fact, highly worthy of remark, that the

successive commotions and insurrections which have for many years

disturbed the peace of _Chéribon_, have uniformly had their origin

in the Javan districts, where the rights of private property in the

soil were almost entirely overlooked, that they have only occasionally

extended from the Javan to the _Súnda_ districts, and have never

reached the _Priang'en_ lands, where property in the soil is fully

acknowledged and respected.

"The taxes which fell upon agriculture were so various, and at the same

time assumed such a variety of shapes, that it is impracticable to

state in a word the actual portion which by law or custom fell to the

share of the sovereign.

"The most material, however, are comprehended in the following

catalogue, to which are added, others falling equally upon agricultural

industry, though not constituting a direct source of revenue to

government:

"1. The contingent, called in the language of the country, _gántang_.

This is usually estimated at fifteen parts in one hundred of the rice

crop; but it was, in truth, arbitrarily assessed, according to a rough

conjecture of the capability of the country. In such of the _Priang'en_

lands as continued to be directly administered by their own native

chiefs, the amount paid to the latter was determined with some accuracy

to be one tenth of the gross produce, embracing, as in the first case,

the rice crop only.

"2. A poll tax, or rather a tax on families, called by the natives of

this part of the country, _pagalántang_. Part was levied on account of

government, and part on account of the chiefs.

"3. Market duties or tolls. These were literally levied on every

article vended in the markets, embracing as well the whole produce of

their agriculture, as that of their petty arts and manufactures.

"4. A tax on the slaughter of buffaloes, necessarily affecting the

price of food, and discouraging the rearing of an animal indispensable

to a successful prosecution of the labours of agriculture.

"5. The charge of lodging and feeding travellers, and transporting

troops, baggage, and stores of all descriptions. This is termed in the

native language, _súguh_, or the rites of hospitality.

"6. The obligation to construct and repair bridges, roads, and public

buildings, throughout the country.

"7. The obligation to cultivate and deliver, at inadequate rates,

certain foreign productions, which the actual condition of the country,

the habits of the people, and still less their interests, could never

have prompted them to undertake, if permitted freely to pursue their

own interest. Coffee was the chief of these products.

"8. In speaking of the taxes which fall upon the husbandman and the

land, the _Zakat_ must not be forgotten. This is nominally a tithe,

or tenth. The payment is indeed optional, but from religious motives

seldom withheld. Every tenth sheaf of the rice crop is allotted to

religious purposes, but every man measures its size according to his

own piety. Its amount was of course very variable, but almost always

materially smaller, and generally indeed not half the size, of the

ordinary sheaf. This practice gives rise to a well known distinction

between the ordinary sheaf and that allotted for the clergy, when the

grain is brought to market."

The table annexed was framed on the introduction of the detailed

system; but it not being practicable, on account of the extent of the

province, for the European officer to visit every part of the district,

many of the particulars are stated upon estimate; particularly the

quantity of cultivated land and amount of produce, which, it is to

be apprehended, are rather over-rated. The return, however, of the

population may be considered more accurate.

EASTERN DISTRICTS.

The Dutch, in acquiring these extensive and valuable provinces on

the sea coast, were considered to have acquired the same right as

had previously been enjoyed by the native sovereigns, and deemed it

advisable to continue the long-established principles and forms of

native government. In the same manner, therefore, as the emperors

of Java were looked upon as the ultimate proprietors of the land in

their dominions, the Dutch Company were considered as possessing

the same right with respect to the provinces under their immediate

administration; and the princes of Java having been in the habit

of entrusting the government, police, and revenue of the different

provinces to inferior chiefs, the same system was adhered to under the

Dutch. The native system of drawing again the revenues of government

from these inferior chieftains, by means of contributions in kind, in

money, and by occasional fees and presents, was also maintained; a

portion of the common class of inhabitants under the native government

being assigned to the performance of different sorts of public works,

transports for government, the repair of the roads, the construction

of public buildings, the guarding of public stores, the loading and

unloading of government vessels, the cutting of grass, the cutting of

fire-wood, the keeping a police guard, and other offices, the same

principle was adopted under the management of the Dutch, and as under

the native form of administration a reward for these feudal services

was granted, by the use of an assignment of rice fields allotted either

to individuals or to certain classes of workmen, but withdrawn from

them as soon as the public duty ceased to be performed, the same mode

of remuneration was also adopted by the Dutch.

These principles of administration being combined with the mercantile

interests of the Dutch Company, gave rise to certain contracts, which

the native chiefs of the different districts (termed by the Dutch

_Regents_) were compelled to enter into on their appointment, for the

annual delivery to the Company, either without payment, which was

called _a contingent_, or for a price far below that of the market,

which was termed a _forced delivery at a fixed price_, of such

quantity of rice, pepper, cotton, indigo, and other articles, as the

market and present state of trade and commerce made most desirable;

while the planting of coffee and the cutting of teak timber was always

considered as a feudal service, for which, besides the use of a certain

portion of rice fields, allotted to the individuals or villagers

employed, a certain payment was made, about equivalent to the expenses

of transportation to the government yards or storehouses.

The administration of the Eastern Districts, including _Madúra_, was

vested in a _governor and council for the north-east coast of Java_.

The governor was, at the same time, director of the Company's trade,

and resided at _Semárang_. Subordinate to this government was that

called _Gezaghebber_ and council, established at _Surabáya_, the chief

place of the east point of Java; while in the other principal districts

along the coast, as at _Tegal Pekalóngan_, _Japára_, _Jawána_, &c.

residents were fixed: no direct correspondence from the eastern part

of the island was maintained with the government of Batavia, except by

the governor, usually termed the governor of Java, or by the governor

and council. Even the residents at the native courts of _Súra Kérta_

and _Yúgya Kérta_, only communicated with government through him. By

him the succession to the throne of the _Susúnan_ and of the sultan was

generally determined; the appointments of native chiefs and regents

were made on his proposal; the Company's farms and duties for the

Eastern Districts were sold by him; and though he had literally no

salary whatever from the treasury of government, he was supposed to

draw from his situation a yearly revenue of between three and four

hundred thousand dollars. At the same time the correspondence with

the Eastern Districts was neither very regular nor very expeditious,

and the management of the Company's affairs in those districts was as

much a mystery to the chief government at Batavia, as the governor of

_Semárang_ chose to make it.

This system continued, without any essential alteration, until after

the arrival of Marshal Daendals in 1808.

Some of the contingents, such as indigo, cotton yarn, pepper, &c. to

which, however, the regents had not without great reluctance submitted

for many years, were then indeed partially abolished; but, on the other

hand, all the peculations of the Dutch servants residing along the

coast, who had for their own private emolument raised the deliveries,

chiefly of rice, at some places to double, and at others to more than

double the quantity legally assessed on the regents, at the same time

paying for them at some places two-thirds, and at others only half

the price assigned by the government, were at once transferred and

confirmed to government, by a single decree, ordering, without previous

inquiry or reserve, that all the produce which had been usually

delivered to the respective residents along the coast, under whatever

denomination, should, in the same quantities and with their surplus

weight, be for the future delivered to government, and that no higher

prices should be granted for the same than that which the residents

used to pay.

Equally inconsistent and oppressive in its consequences was a measure

by which, on the one hand, the wages of private labour and services

were raised to an unusual price, while on the other, the public works,

the public transports, and the plantations of coffee, were carried on

either gratuitously or at the former inadequate rate. This regulation

raised the price of all the first necessaries of life, and principally

of rice, which the common classes of the inhabitants felt as a heavier

grievance than any they had ever experienced from the former system.

Till then, the colonial administration had always, as far as was

consistent with their own monopoly and forced delivery of produce at

fixed rates, taken particular care to keep down the price of rice and

salt as much as possible.

But a measure, still more pernicious in its consequences, was that by

which the native regents were each of them subjected to a contribution

in hard cash, while at the same time the power of levying taxes on the

inhabitants of these districts was left in their hands; a system which,

in all cases, afforded them a pretext, and in many an apology, for the

most vexatious oppression.

The commendation which is due to this administration is rather founded

on those arrangements which had a tendency to prevent peculations

in the inferior European servants in every department, and on the

abolition of the subordinate governments of _Semárang_ and _Surabáya_.

Fixed salaries were allowed to the residents; they were prohibited from

keeping private vessels, and from all trade in the products of their

districts. The sale of the government farms and duties was made public,

and in a great measure free from corruption, by which means they were

immediately raised to more than three times the former amount: each

branch of public expenditure and receipt was fixed and ascertained;

new and practicable roads were established; the appointment of every

native, from the first rank as low as a _Demáng_, was reserved to

the government alone; the Javan custom of pawning the person for a

small sum of money was prohibited; fees and presents were abolished.

By such measures, a much more regular, active, pure, and efficient

administration was established on Java than ever existed at any former

period of the Dutch Company.

JAVA.

The following tables are abstracted from the detailed reports furnished

during the course of the survey made by the British government. In

some particulars they may be deficient and inaccurate, as sufficient

time had not been given to complete the detailed survey of the country

directed by the Revenue Instructions; but the general results may, for

the most part, be depended upon.
