Subject

Re-regulation of Dutch-English relations in the East. Holland got supremacy over the whole island of Sumatra except Atjeh. Dutch had to: (1) ensure no foreign nuisance from Atjeh (piracy, molest); (2) not exercise political power over Atjeh. Could not organize a police service in Atjeh because it would undermine Atjeh’s political independence. Created an untenable relationship.

Significance

Londensch tractaat van 1824 is recorded by Jongejan as part of the documentary record of Aceh.
