I r egret to say our iO,ll has been sorvere; in all seven =ileum and eleven 'wounded. lam sorry to say that Ensign Bennett is among the latter, being severely wounded in the left atm, though I trust not of any very serious consequence. Ensign Campbell likewise re ceived a hurt in the right ancle, from a spent ball, and also some shots inhis legs. The whole of the wounded are doing well. I beg to state that there were a few of the Mug levy, that were under the immediate eye of Captain Pringle (to whom every credit is due for his exertions) who be haved with great coolness and much to my satisfac tion, as well in firing upon the enemy as in assisting our sepoys in carrying off the ammunition. The men of the detachment of the 25d Native Infantry advanced with great steadiness, notwithstanding the suddenness of the attack upon them, and the very heavy fire that was kept up for upwards of three hours from a hidden fee; and I deem it but justice to Ensigns Campbell and Bennett on the occasion to report, that they both de serve the greatest credit for their coolness and exer tions throughout. I beg to add, that Lieutenant Scott sheaved every anxiety to bring the guns forward, but was prevented by the circumstances abovementioned.—l have, &c. T. NOT ON, Captain, Commanding at Ramoo. Extract from a Letter from the Guvernor.General in Council to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors, dated Fort 'William, 25th May, 1824. We regret to report that the Chittagong district has been invaded by the Burmese in very large force, and that the enemy had been successful in cutting off a detachment at Ramoo, consisting of the right wing of the 25d Native Infantry, tinder the command of Captain Noton, and three companies of the 20th, commanded by- Captain Trueman, with two guns, and a detail of Artillery, under Lieutenant Scott; also a party of provincials and the MUg levy, commanded by Captain Pringle. We think it right to add, that the eight companies of regulars above-mentioned were greatly reduced, both in numbers and efficiency, by the fatal effects of the climate of the southern parts of the district, and were already under orders to retire to the cantonment at Chittagong. . It is not in our power to report the further progress of operations in Assam,' Brigadier M'Morine having deemed it necessary to halt at Gowahati, the capital of Western Assam, since his arrival there on the 28th March. By the last accounts, he had dispatched a small party of his force in advance to Kalliabar. Mr. Scott had succeeded in penetrating across the hills of Jyntia, from Sylhet, into Assam, with a detachment of the 23d Native Infautry, and reached the•Berhampooter at Noregong, about seven days march east of Gowahati, on the 28th ultimo. The peace at Cachar has not been disturbed since the date of our last dispatch, but we have reason to believe that the Burmese have again entered Munnipote in force. By the last accounts, Rajah Gumbhur Sing was about to &bark in the enterprize for recovering that Principality ham the Government of Ava, with such force as he could raise, supported by arms and money from the British authorities. Extract from a Report from Lieutenant-Colonel Povoleri, com manding at Chittagong, to the Adjutant-General of the Army, dated 19th May, 1824. With deep regret I acquaint you, foe? the information of his Ex cehency the Commander-inuChief, with the reports which reached the last night, that Capt. Noton's detachment of the chief part of the right wing of the Ist ban. 23d Itegt, are cut off, after hard fitting the whole of thel 6th ; I fear all the Officers have fallen, but Lieut.Scort, of the Artillery, who escaped, wounded. Captain Brandon, with the kit wing, learning the disaster, is refighting ; he will retreat on Brigadier Shapland's division. The Officers who will have fallen are Capt. Futon. Lieut. Grigg, Ensigns Campbell and Bennett, Ist Battalion 23d Regiment ; Capt. Trorman and Lieut. Codrington, 2d Battalion 20th Regiment; Dr. Maysmore, artillery ; Capt. Prin. gte, Mug levy. istract of a 11. eport from Lieutenant-Colonel Shapland, to the Ad jutant-General of the Army, dated Chittagong, May 20, 1524 I have the honour to report, -for the information of his Excel lency the Comn:ander in Chief, that, being joined by the detachment of the Ist battalion 23d regiment native infantry, I returned to Chit tagong this morning with the detachment that was advancing to wards &moo, when the disastrous event occurred at that placer I enclose a report of the Officers who have escaped after the action. Copy of a Report from Lieutenant Scott and Ensigns Codrington and Campbell, to Brigade-Major White, dated Camp, China& gong, 20th May, l 824- Slit—lnformation having been required relative to the retreat of Captain Noton's detachment (tom Ba rnum, on the 17th inst. we, being the only surviving Officers, beg leave to forward a condensed statement of the circumstinces which have fallen under our obser vation, for the information of Brigadier Shapland, C.B. commanding the district. The Burmese, amounting, it is supposed, to ten ' thousand men, advanced on Ramoo, front the Ituttna itillung road, and encamped on the south side of the river the 13th inst. On the following evening, being within gun-shot, and advancing apparently with the in tention of fording the river, a party, with two six pounders. under the command of Captain Trueman, was detached for the purpose of annoying the enemy, and frustrating any attempt to cross ; this our troops effected. On the 15th, however, the enemy, at eight a.m. ad vanced, and commenced entrenching themselves about three hundred yards in front of our position, the tight flank of which was protected by the river and by a tank, about sixty paces in advance, this being sur rounded by a high embankment, serving as a breast rvoik, was occupied by the picquet, who opened and kept up, without intermission, a fire on the enemy dur ing the whole day and following night. Our position was stnngthencsi in the rear by a s;milar tank to that In front, for the defence of which a strong detachment from the provincial battalion and Mug levy was allotted. On the morning of the 16th, it seas discovered that the enemy had during the night opened trenches on our left flank, and had considerably advanced those in front. A desultory fire was continued during the next twenty-four hours ftom each tank, but with little effect on either side. By day-bleak on the 17th, the enemy had carried on their trenches to within twelve paces of the picquet, and had also approached to within a short distance of the tank in our rear; they gained possession of the latter about ten a.m. the troops defending it having quitted their post and fled with precipitation. The consternation caused by this, quickly spread, and they were almost immediately followed by the remainder of the Mug levy. The elephants (on one of which Lieutenant Scott, who had been severely wounded, was tied) were alarmed at the tumult and fled. Shortly after this (our rear being now undefended) Captain Noton ordered a retreat, which was effected in good order for about half a mile, the twasix-pounders being ftom necessity abandoned ; the enemy's cavalry however, pressing hard upon the rear of the column, a spare was ordered tabs formed, but in consequence of the excessive fatigue and deprivation which the troops had previously undergone, which rendered them abso lutely incapable of offering any effectual resistance to the overpowering Masses of the enemy pouring in on them on every aide, the utmost exertions of the officers to preserve discipline were unavailing, and on our ar rival at the river the sepoys dispersed in every direction ,~. ~: .

A bag of letters was this day received from Ceylon and the Isle of France, at the Co!onial Office, Downing. street, but they are not of so late a date as previous arrivals. This forenoon we received German Papers to the 22d inst. one of them states, that a national bank is about to he established in Berlin, in conjunction with a well known house in London. • The Prussian National Bank is to consist of 50,000 shares of 1000 dollars each, or a capital of 50 minor's of, dollars (about eight millions sterling). Any person can take part in it by paying 500 dollars in money and 500, dollars in State-bonds (called Staatschuldscheinc), for which he will receive a share of 1000 dollars. The 25 millions of State-bonds are to be withdrawn from circulation and deposited in the Bank. The other details, as well as the commencement of it future operations, will be made known to us by statute% but it seems certain that it will issue a considerablr; amount in Bank notes, not bearing interest, and thus remedy the scarcity of ready money, which is mote and mare felt. The announcement of establishing this Bank, has already had the effect of causing the Prussian State Bonds, which bear Four per Cent. interest, to rise from _ 883 to 92i. , VIE Artmf. -0-0— The'99th Regirnent, no* In Glasgow Barracks, his received or-' den to embark immediately it Leith for Portsmoith, where they are to disembark till transports are collected, in which they are 'to proceed to the 'Mauritius, to relieve the 56th Foot, new ordered home.

DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE. George Thompson and Henry Wilson were indicted for a most wanton and unprovoked assault on the persons of two Ladies re sident at Kensington, on the 24th of October last, near the Mi litary Barracks, Knightsbridge. The Ladies were passing, on the evening of the day in question, slong the road, when the defen dants, after repeated assaults of a minor nature, proceeded to the committal of the major assault ; but in which they were interrupted by some Gentlemen passing, particularly J. Moore, Esq. and Lieutenant Mason. Is consequence of the respectability of the parties, a compromise was entered into, and a charitable institution will bine& by the momentary folly of the defendants. Advices have been received from Naples, dated the '9:11 inst. They state that the Consul of the Netherlands in that city had received a notification from the Dutch Admiral at Port Mahon, that the Algerine government had declared war against Holland, and that some of their cruizers were out against the Dutch flag. The Admiral advises that all Dutch cossets, under these circumstances, should be careful how they leave any port without protection.

SlR—Your impartial and candid report of tl'e I A . rtials of the abovenamed individual, William Ra m :.i e s e Robinson, for stealing various article s , a.s contained ,n your Papers of the 19th and 20th days of July d last, duces me to request the favour th at y ou will inserttl; enclosed letter, received by me on Th urs d ay last, fist Mr. Ranken, of Gray's Inn, which app ears to me't-' establish one of the most remarkable i nstances of rnis• taken identity that has happened for many years. I remain, Sir,,vour obedient Servant, iborough-street, Nev. 29. G. F. ABRAH.tx Gray's Inn, Nov. 25, 1b24 • II Stn —ln August last, I procured an iniiceinit.te be conveyed to you, through Mr. Dyer, the Magl.o nt , that some circumstances had recently transpired, disclosure of which, at a future day, would l ead, :t eae hoped, to the removal rtf the doubts w hi c h, 4 , 1164! standing his acquittal oil all the charges, with the ex. ception of one, and his immediate pardon, under the favourable report of the Judge, with reference to a,, single charge sin which he was convicted, still appeared to exist in the public mind with regard to the innocence of Mr. William Ramsden Robinson. For the reason which I shall presently explain, I codsidered it nece soy at that time to withhold my name. , and confine my corn, niunication to the single Object of endeavouring to re. lieve the anliety which I could not but be conscious must be felt by Mr. Robinson and his f r ie n d s ; h „, r now feel it my duty to state, for your and their ii.:cr mation, the circumstances to which I then alluded. " The several ttials of Mr. Robinson, on certain of the charges preferred against him, took place on Sato, day, the 17th, and Monday, the 19th of July last; 4,,a on the former day he was convicted on the charge ef having taken books from Mr. Dolby, but acquitted, both then and on Monday, on all the other charges on which he was tried. On Mondry, the 26th of Jule, was professionally consulted by the patents cf a 3ottt; person, who had but too much reason, from an unei pected communication received only that morning, to suspekt that their own son had committed the different offences with which Mr. Robinson had been charged ; and, in the course of the same day, the young person himself confessed to me his having taken, and in the course of the same evening delivered personally to me, the several articles It hiCil _I shall presently enumerate, among which will be found the,very books for the stealing of which Mr. Robinson bad been convicted, and other articles for which he was tried, though happily acquitted. All those articles the young person assured me had con tinued in his own possession from the time of his stealing them, until he delivered them into my hands; and I,e acknowledged, moreover, having seoleh two ctbeis, namely. an album from Mr. Denham, wlrick lie lead given away, and a pair of razors, which, on his offering them in pledge, had been stopped by the shopmau of the pawnbroker, whom he mentioned as having been one of the witnesses examined on Mr. Robinson's trials, These disclosures having been made to me in confitience, and after a plet'ge on my part to act professionally for the wretched delioquent, if necessary, I felt consider. able embarrassment as to the proper course to be pur sued for doing justice to Mr. Robinson, n ithout be traying my duty towards the other; and my mind having been much a elieved,on finding by the Papers Gf ToesdaT. that Mr. Robinson had, on the very day on which Ih.d he; come possessed of this information, received his Maiest y pardon, 1 consideted myself justified by that cii cum• stance in delaying any steps towards his vindication until oreastnes could be taken for securing the safety of the real offender, and sparing the public exposure of the innocent and most respectable family who have the misfortune to be connected with him. The young man having now left this country, probably for ever, I now feel it my duty to communicate to you such informa tion as I possess, with the exception only of the unfor tunate person's name, the disclosure of which appeals to be unnecessary towards 'Mr. Robinson's vindication, and would only inflict needless pain on innocent parties. "I regret exceedingly that this communication should have been so long delayed, but hope to satisfy you that no blame is imputable to me on that account. With Mr. Robinson's person I am entirely unacquainted ; but for the satisfaction of the witnesses who swore so posi tively to his identity, as well as of the Jury who con victed him, I think it right to state, that I am informed by the father of the real offender, who has seen Mr. Ito binson (although he is entirely unknown to Mr. 11,.hin son or his friends), that his wretched son bears a most 'remarkable resemblance to that Gentleman. Great "1 annex a list of the articles delivered up to me by the young:person,,witlqtbe names of the patties (also fur furnished by him in writing) from whom they %Nem taken. I have purposely kept these things in my own custody, until this communication should be made to) you, in order that such steps may be adopted for 'her identification by the owners, and other measures, - as you may deem most expedient for establishing :Ir. Robinson's entire innocence with reference to then,. You are also at liberty to make what use you please LI this communication; but I hope I may be excused for adding, that although I have, and deservedly so, tl:e highest respect for the family of the real delinquent, l am not in any manner connected with it.—l remain, Sir, your obedient humble servant.
