A commission which was appointed to inquire into the state of the revenue, report from _Japára_ the great facility there was in collecting the revenue under the amended system, and certify its beneficial effects in extending cultivation, securing tranquillity, promoting industry, and diminishing crimes. The same commission conclude their report of _Grésik_ with similar assurances of the happy results of the revenue, and judicial arrangements for the prosperity of that province. The Resident of _Rembáng_ gives an increase of cultivation of fifty-two _jungs_ of _sáwah_ and about thirteen of _tégal_ land, and accounts for the smallness of this increase from the comparative sterility of the soil, and the precarious supply of water. Indigo had not increased, but tobacco had to a great degree. The vigilance of the police, and the ameliorating effects of the revenue settlement, are seen, it is said, in the improved state of morals. In _Surabáya_ it is stated, that during the time the amended system had been in action, there had been an increase of three hundred and twenty government _jungs_, making upwards of two thousand English acres. In the residency of _Pasúruan_ there is an increase of cultivation to the amount of three hundred and six _jungs_: this, however, does not comprehend the whole advantage that the new system produced in that province, for industry had been so much promoted by it, as to obtain two crops within the year, on many of the lands where the cultivator was formerly content with one. It is needless to enter into any further particulars, to shew the advantages of the regulations adopted with regard to the settlement of the landed revenue.
