It also appears that the Burmese country abounds in the resources of war to a turptising degree, and that the Aill of the enemy in his own peculiar mode of for tification is very consider able. The British troops, how. ever, had secured most admit able positions for quarters during the then approaching rainy season, and were preparing the it huts for the four sub,equent months, dur ing wliich they must necessarily remain inactive. As this interval w.aild allow the enemy, who is better inured to the climate, sufficient time to collect his remaining re sources for another campaign, we have all along enter tained great doubts whether the war could have been concluded in the last season. Neither are those doubts weakenei by the intelligence yesterday communicated in a private letter from Calcutta, dated 7th June, which stales that peace had been concluded, subject to confir mation by the Governor-General in Council; as a cor reboration of which a Morning Paper relies on the fact of the return of the flotilla and transports from Rangoon. —The last circumstance is easily accounted for by ere monsoon anti rainy season rendering the co-ope. rati , at of naval means unnecessary and impracti cable during the inactivity of the ttoops. Bctwten the 9th of May, the date of the letter from Prome, and the Ist of June, there was scarcely time to tiegociate a peace there, and transmit the conditions to Calcutta. If this were possible, the fact would have been instantly announced with the usual solemni ties of Gazettes and rejoicings. But the impr bahility of such an event, however desirable, we regret to say is greatest from the certainty that the Burmese, having vigorously held out until the inactivity of our army Was secured by the rains, would riaturai:y avail them s 'hes ~f this chance in their favour, which by pos sibility might ozcasion sickness or scarcity of sup. plies in the quarters of our brave troops, and thus protract the war at least until the oper•iag of the sea on (or operations in September. Yielding to mine of our cotemporaries in ardent wishes for a secure and honourable peace with an enemy who las proved himself so formidable in war, arid so imp) rcably hostile to our influence in the E Ist, we set deem it our duty to guard cur Rea.iers against future disappointment, by cautiouiy admit.ing state ments mare in accordance with our desires than with sober reasoning. And our dtcided opinion is still unshaken, that the war cannot be.terminated on the Eastern Frontier but by the eutiae subjectiAs of the Kingdom of Av... S atm equivocal movements ate mentioned to have taken place on the part .of the King of SIAM. IF their be any foundation for these lepoits, it is probably to be traced to the endeavours of the lilts mese to st engtl en themselves by alliances with the neighbouring Kswets. These, however, in re.pect to the Siamese, will be reit thred i;atot y, as they are assailable from die sea coast. New South Wales Pape' s to the . 25th M 4y were this morning teceive,l at t' e North arid South American Cotf-r-house. Tile intelii:4etice that the variations in the cu'rency would be soon prevented by the issue of., nesting coinage, ikon great plea,ute. The weathet had .•~ been very fint; but somewhat frosty, and the summit 0 1 • 4 .Mount WeHinson was covered with snow. AsVanDiedian's.l,ansi, the Wsnt of rain had been seriobily, 1!1t, bit it Was beginning to set in. Wheat was 10s. per bushel, and very scam even at that price. The Brazil Packet has brought letters from Rio de Ja:.eiro to the Bth of September. One of theme states, that Sir CHARLES STUART, after concludi - g the Treaty '•etween Brazil and Portugal, was about to proceed to Iltienos Ayres, and exercise his mesiiatorial ta'ents in adjusting the differences subsisting between the Re public and Brazil on the subject of the possession of Monte VidLo. It was rumoured that his views were favourable to the cession. of that province to Burling Ayres. This negotiation, it was supposed, would oc cupy Sir CHARLES STUART during the e taqiiired for obtaining the ratification from Portugal of the Bia• zilian treaty of independence, on the arrival of which he proposed to repair again to Rio de Janeiro, whence, having completed his mission in all its parts, he would return to England. The Letters from Rio also state, that General FLtt2• BERT° BRANT was about to proceed to Portugal as Ambassador. It seems the packet which left Rio de Janeiro, whilst at Bahia, was joined by a Brazilian main of war that left the cvpital a few day s later. She re ported that at tie review, which took place at the Campe de Santa Ana, on the 7th, the EMPEROR ordered the badges, hitherto worn by the soldiers on the arm, with the words I.drpendence or Death upon them, to be taken off, the object for winch the motto was used !Icing now attained. Letters from Valparaiso to the 30th July, vr'n Baehos Apes, and from Lima to the sth of the same month, have been brought by the Rio Mail. Roost: still re mained in possession of Callao both parties appeared tired of bombarding, and the Patriots seemed inclined to try to reduce the place by starvation, rather than hazard au attempt at storming it, which might cost them 500 or 1,000 men. The few persons who had escaped out of Callao lately, and passed over to the Patriot camp, gave the most dismal accounts of the state of the inhabitants, and even of the troops; in fact, from these accounts it seems almost impossible for Room to hold out much longer.—llis Maje,ty's ship TARTAR was expected to sail in about five weeks with specie or England. The CAMBRIDGE man of war was at Valparaiso.—The agents for the Pasco Peruvian Company were making arrangements to work the :nines for which they had contracted w ith the Gove:n meut. Business dull, the traders from the interior being afraid to venture down, dreading chit, as the war was not yet finished, they might be taken for soldiers. We have received D!m:•rara Papers to the I Ith ult. They. con• aiu the proclamation of the Governor respect ing the change in the currency; it is dated the 10th of Septertiber. The change wAs to tete place the 2-I.th of September, after which time the following regulation., as to ihe coin and the value were to take effect : British Coin. Colonial Money of Account. Guilders.

The inordinate mania for specufation which raged so mischievously a few months ago, appears now to have in a great degree subsided, in consequence of the absurdity of some, and the fraudulent nature of other of the projects. The passion for this species of gain!) ling, for so in fact it really is, was not greater dur:ng the celebuated South Sea Bubble, and some of the schemes scarcely less riel;culous ; in point of fluctua tion, and perhaps in mischief too, they exceeded that celOrate.l project. We believe that the South Sea Stock was never at a premium of more than 1000 pear cent. but the Real del Monte Shales have, within the last twelve months, been at a pre.nium of 1.500, and so great has been the revulsion, that within the last few days they have been nearly at par ! How is ti is, some persons will say ? Why, simply, that there was nothing whatever in the project to j istify such an extra vagant advance, and the mania subsiding, they have more neal ly approached their level. The number and tx ant of the Mining projects skewed their fallacy, and now that some of them have been established tekelve and eighteen /malts, wi.hout producing v.; the Share!) aeers as much silver as would coin a Maun.:ay penny, they begin to look about them, and think that the golden or silver dream in which they indulged is vanishing. It ai , pears that the amount of capital of the several Comparri s f rmeJ for working Foreign Mines, is not less than 125,110,000/. which was divided into23ti,ooo shares—more than 12.5 millions sterling, for working Foreign Mines alone; but it may be added, all the money was not paid ; this we are fully aware of, and had one half of the adventurers who speculated in these Companies ever dreamt th it they would b.: called on to pay even ten per cent. on the Shares, the r nan-,es had never swelled the list. It appears that the deposits rea ily paid on this 51181 i of 125 millions, w • a, filly 1.832,(001. or about thirty shillings for every I€lol. The fact is, that nine persons out of ten who put their names down for Shares. only did so milli a view of selling them at a premiu►n, and that many of the &hues nese bought and ►old before tl e first insta'anent w s paid. i..us as great fluctuatioas in any species of pro• petty or stock must be t' the fortune of the adven tuters, till') is nit the oily rvi►, hy' cteavng or exci:ing a passion for gambling, it it p•ejudicial to the public mor..ls. We have seen one banker's clerk, who, . . is note-tinder seatenee of hanisihnent, ascribing all hi mis(ortunes.and Weriors to-his disastrous speCulations in the money matket ; and we know thfit the passion s- . • was rapidly spreading among all classes. Government his sometimes been called on to interfere, in older to :oppress what are called 44 time-hargains,' on the Stock Exchange, but this would not be easily effected ; besides, in a commercial country like this, in erference is a delic-tte point, and the capitalists of England aright say to our Ministers, what the mer chants of France said to COLBERT, when be,asked what he could do for them ? .. Laissez noas . faire." It has, however, often occurred to us, that these speculations might be rendered subservient to the revenue by a 'tax ; and yet there are, we doubt not, Legislators who would oppose this, on t' e ground that it would render that legal which at present is illegal. Certain, how ever, we are, that the gambling in Companies' Shares has arisen out of speculations in the Stocks, which now vat y so little, as to afford a narrow h&d for adventurers. However midi we m ry doubt the policy of t' e Le gislature passing any new law nn tl e subject of J .int Stock Companies, we cc: 'nly think Parliament may do much service to s, ciety, by causing a rigid investi gation int., the schemes which have lately been imposed on the public. We stated in the STAR of Tuesday that tittle was no want of precedent for such a measure. ar :he conclosi n cf the Parliament.iry Inquiry into the South Sea Sche me, in 1720.1, not only were four or five kchviduals as we stated, expelled the House of Commons for their connection with the fraud, hot the grea'er part of the estates of the Directors of the Company were confiscated, for the benefit of those who had been ruined by their chicanery. lhe following list of the Directors, the value of their estates (greatly increased by the S ruth Sea Scheme), and the sums they were fined, will shew the rigour with which the Parliament administered justice on this cccasion: DIRECTOR% VALUE.

Whether the persons blamed for conduct so similar in the present day, may equal in rank or fortune the abet tors in the South Sea Scheme we know not, but an in. quiry seems necessary, and where the offence is, there let the great axe fall. Since writing this, we have been informt.cl that one of the Law Officers of the Crown lately gave it as his opinion, on a ca se laid before him, that the self-elected Directors of a Company, are not by law authorized to expend the subscribed funds, before the Company is duly incorporated: and that on failure in obtaining a chatter from the Crown for that purpose, the Directors are bound to return the funds subscribed, after deducting such reasonable expenses as have been incurred in pro secution of that object; no person being by law com pellable to become a party to a deed of copartnership, conferring on certain self-elected individuals an uncon trouled power over the whole of his property. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCZ left their resi dence at Bushy yesterday morning, and proceeded to the residence of the Duchess of Kner, at her apartments at the King's Palace, Kensington, where the Duchess of Clammier alighted.

The tolluw mg extract of a le:ter dated Calcutta, May 39, is given in a Morning Paper—is The war is drawing to a close, and the Burmese are flying in all directions. As a and Ummerapore only remain to be taken possession of, and the instant our army move they are sure to be evacuated. The work of dis charging the transports has commenced in the last to, might ; they will only retain about twenty out of seven , y large ships, with the view of supplying the armies at It irignon, Arracan, and Ramree." The Sonio ship Lavinia arrived at St. Helena on the :10th of August from Manilla, which place she left on the 19th of April, having on board the officers of his Cathol c Mari. - wry's ships of war, Asia, Convantia, and Achilles. The mutiny of the crews of these vessels, and th. rr sm.' end r to the Mexican Government, have been long ago made public. It appears that the Officers made some resistance on that occasion, and that the Captain of the Asia was wounded on the head by a cut- Jars. 'Diey were all pia in o a boat and landed on (iorgnire, one of the Marian Islands, whence they were takers to Manilla by the English whaling ships Renard And Siipply. lhey are now on their way home to Spain. Bow•Svontur.—Tbree young men, (one of them naval) of respect. able appearance. were charged with assaulting a constable, who had interfered to prevent the man-of-war's man capturing a young girl, nemtd Mary Stuart, in Wel iin gt 011-SU eet, Waterloo-bridge. Their tactics differed so much from the ordinary business of " making love on dry land," that Mary screamed, the officer appeared,the par ties struggled, and the peace-keeper got a tooth or two knocked out. The defendants treated the whole as a joke ; but bail not being at band, the chorus were sent to eschew the sequel in the strong-room.
