Opening 96 957/s This forenoon a Supplement to the London Gazelle was published, containing the Dispatches we gave yes terday, and a series of others received at the India Board, which complete the account of the operations, against the Burmese up to the 16th of June. Of these dispatches, which are at great length, we can only give' a summary. The first letters relate to the capture of Shapuree by a Burmese forceon the 24th of September, 1823, and its recapture by our troops on the 21st of November. Then there is a dispatch from Major NEWTON, dated the 18th of January, containing the de tails of an action on the 17th, with four thousand Bur mese and Assamese, who had stockaded themselves at the village of Bickrampore: the enemy was defeated with the loss of 185 men. Our loss was six sepoys killed, and thirteen wounded. In Febtuary, the Burmese advanced on Budderpore, where Capt. JOHNSTON, of the 23d Regiment, was sta tioned ; he immediately prepared to attack them, and disloige them from the positions they had taken, within a thousand yards of our post, and where they began to construct five stockades. On reaching the first stockade, the enemy fired upon the leading sections, who ascended the height, and instantly drove the enemy with the bayonet from the stockade, and rapidly followed them up, without giving them time to rally, when every stockade was carried in a gallant manner. Our loss was only one jemadar of the Ist battalion of the 10th Regiment killed, and about thitty sepoys wounded, Pt in cipally by spikes and bows set in the ground to impede the advance of the detachment. While these operations were going on, Major NEW TON took possession of tie stockades at Juttrapore, which the enemy abandoned; and Lieutenant•Colorfel Bowen attacked the Burmese Chiefs, who had concen trated their forces, and taken up a position under the Berteaka Pass; they were strongly posted in two stock ades, on the left bank of the Jeltingly River, which was not fordable except :by means of elephants, on the backs of which a detachment was conveyed across the river, and the stockades carried in the most gal lant manner. " From all the accounts which have reached me," says Colonel lloweN, ." and from the number and ex tent of the stockade; they had constructed, I cannot estimate the number of the enemy in this affair at less tinur tive thousand, of whom the greater part are sup posed to be Assarrese, and the remainder Burmahs their dispersion and flight towards the hills (in the greatest disorder and confusion) and passes into Assam, the capture of all their standards, gingals, and eight gilt chattahs, are the fruits of this affair." This was on the 18th of February ; on the 21st there was another gallant affair, but not with equal success, at Doodpatlee ; and attended with the loss of Lieute. nant A. B. ARNISTRONG, of the Ist battalion lOth Re giment of Native Infantry, who was killed in action with the Burmese on the 21st instant, at Doodpatlee ; this valuable Officer was shot at the Iread of the grena diers among the stakes and spring-guns, which were planted all round the enemy's stockades ontsiy,le for a distance of from twenty to thirty yards, concealed for the most part in long grass. Lieutenant-Colonel Bower.; and Captai:4 JOHNSTON were also wounded, the lat ter severely. The next dispatch is from igadier-General Sir A RCHIBALO CAMPBELL, and is dated Rangoon, the 12th of May. It contains an account of the military and naval operations against the island of Cheduba, the island of Negrais, and Rangoon, which was reduced on the 16th of May. The rapidity of the movement on Rangoon threw the inhabitants into the utmost conster nation, and they did not make much defence. The Member, of Government fled at the first shot, carrying with them seven out of eleven Etnopeans whom they had or eied to be imprisoned and put in irons. On the arrival of our troops, in their hurry three were lef, - in the King's godown, whose irons wove filed off by the' troops on entering the town: . .When actually in possession 4 theActen, MI :Hoven:, an American Missionary, releasid 'Awn irons for the. purpose, accompanied by a Burmese,' went on board the LIFFEY, deleg4ted by the Raywoon and other Mem bers of Government (then seme miles off in the jungle), to entreat that the firing might cease, and to ask what terms would be given to them? hinting that they had seven Englishmen out with them in irons, whose fate would' iirobably depend upon the answer they re ceived. The Commodore and the Brigadier-General told them, that it -was too late to ask, for terms, as the place was then in our possession; protection to per. sons and property was all they bad to expect, and even that promise would not.be confirmed to them until the prisoners were released and given up, warning them, that if they dated to injure them, or put one of them to death, file and sword should revenge the atrocious deed over the face of the N hole country. The messengers left, promising to return as soon as possible ; but neither the Raywoon nor his adherents could again be found, fear having driven them still farther into the country. General CAMPBELL remained in great anxiety for the fate of our countrymen during the night; but early next morning, in pushing forward some reconnoitring ' parties, the whole seven were found safe in different places of confinement, strongly fettered, their guards having fled at our approach. The enemy afterwards concentrated their forces at the village of Killyendine, from which they were driven on the 16th of May, with the loss, on our part, of Lieutenant THOMAS KERR, of the 38th Regiment, and one private killed, and nine privates wounded. Lieutenant WILKINSON was also severely wounded, with eight or nine of his crew. In these several actions a large quantity of ordnance was captured. The detachment sent against Negrais returned to head-quarters, as it is not calculated for a military post, and though captured was abandoned as not capa ble of being made defensible by the Burmese. These details bring up the operations to - the date of General CAMPBELL'S dispatches, inserted in the STAR of yester day. Of the character of the enemy, our Readers will be enabled to 'judge by the following extract from one of General CAMPBELL'S dispatches—m Every act of the , enemy"he says, if eviaces a most marked determination of carrying hostility to the very last extremity; approach ing our posts day and night, under cover of an imper vious and incombustible jungle; constructing stockades and redoubts on every road and pathway, even within musket•shot of our sentries, and from these hidden fast nesses carrying on a most barbarous and harassing war fat e ; firing upon our sentries at all hours of the night, and lurking on the outskirts of the jungle, for the pur pose of carrying off any unlucky wretch whom chance may throw in their way." An enemy of this character, who is also formidable in numbers, is not to be despised ; and considering the force sent against the Burmese, it must be admitted that our troops have been skilfully commanded, and have acted with the most determined bravery. In the operations against Rangoon, much valuable assistance was received from his Majesty's ship LIFFEY, Com modore GRANT. The following is a List of Persons imprisoned and placed in Irons by the Burmese Government at Rangoon, on the approach of the British Army, for the purpose of being put to Death : Barrum.—Mcssrs. J. Snowball, J. Turner, Wm. Roy, Alex. Tench, 11. W. Thompson, R. T. Trill, and R. Wyatt. Mr. G. H. Roys, country born; Mr. Arratoon, an Armenian; Mr. P. Aide, a Greek; Rev. J. Wade, an American Missionary; Rev. Hough, an American Missionary, taken out of irons, and sent by the Burmese on board the Liffey, to brg the firing, &c. might cease.

German Papers to the 16th inst. reached us this fore noon, but they contain little intelligence of importance to an English reader. Walls and fetes have been given at Vienna, in honour of the King and Queen of BAVA RIA ; and it is again stated that there will be a conven tion to determine the commercial relations between several States of the south-west of Germany, on the basis of reciprocal freedom of trade. It has already been stated, that some of the Conti nental Powers have reciprocally abolished the Impost called broil de Detraction payable on the transfer of property from one country to the heirs or other clai mants in another country. This relic of barbarous legislation is rapidly disappearing; and we find that, in consequence of the Russian Ukase of the 14th of June, 1823, decreeing the abolition in regard to all countries which adinitted the principle of reciprocity, r/r~rr~. , 4 ,, • 4:•.7.."7 - t-P"'" 0 .- C 0.3%.:.., a..:.1G.v official declarations base been exchanged betsveen the Russian Gorernment and our ' Ministei ,at St. Peters. burgh, establishing the fact bf that abolition is between Russia and Great Britain.

Mr. Secretary PEEL presented to the KING in Council several Petitions relative to the case of Henry Faunt kroy. The RECORDER'S report occupied upwards of an hour and a half. His MAJESTY also gave audiences to the LORD CHANCELLOR and Mr. WyNx.—Tbe Court broke up a little after five o'clock. . Saturday, Lord SIDMOUTH arrived in Canterbury, on a visit to his son-in-law, the Hon. G. Ptatzw, we of the Preben daries of the Cathedral.

Lieutenant-Colonel COCKBURN, at the head of the Quarter-Master-General's department in the Canadas, is appointed one of the two Commissioners on the part of Government, for taking a valuation of the Crown and Clergy Reserves in Upper Canada, to be disposed of to the New Canada Company, and he was immedi ately to proceed to that country, via New York, with the other three Commissioners appointed for the same purpose. His Excellency Lord GRANVILLE, the Ambassador and Minister Plenipotentiary of his BRITANNIC MA IInT at the Court of France, has been admitted to a private audience of his Most Christian Miaow, not, however, in his Lordship's character of British Ambassador, nor for the purpose of presenting his cre dentials ; the etiquette of the French Court preventing the perform ance of that ceremony during a first Court mourning, which has not yet expired for his late Majesty Louis XVIII. Saturday se'nnight, the Duke of GLOUCESTER ar rived at Croome, the seat of the Earl of COUNTRY, where his Royal Highness is expected to remain dal She end of the resent month.

Miaow, Bridgewater, Bengal and China ; Captain Genus Masoz, Warren Hastings, M adraa and Bengal. BATH, NOV. 21—Madame CATALAN! yesterday opened the season here, in the presence of a most crowded and brilliant audience, and received the most enthusiastic applause. She was encored in three of her songs, and never before was seen at Bath so numerous and brilliant an assembly at this time of the year. The frost was so severe in Edinburgh on Friday se'n night, that the confectioners were able on the next day to obtain their first supply of ice. LORD BYRON'S CONVERSATIONS.—The Literary Public will be glad to hear that the new Edition of this interesting Work, though very beautifully got up, is printed in a more compressed form than its predecessors, and is, therefore, published at so mode rate a price as to be within the purchase of all the reading classes. CONSECRATION Or ALL SOULS' CHURCH, IN LANG HAM-PLACE.—This morning, the ceremony of Conse cration of the above Church wal performed, by the Right Rev. the Bishop of LONDON, with solemn grandeur. At ten o'clock the company began to arrive, and were admitted by tickets, and by eleven, the body of the Church and the galleries were crowded almost to suffocation. Soon after ten the Bishop arrived, and was met at the great Western-deor by Sir C. ROBINSON, his Chancellor, Archdeacons, and a number pf the Clergy. The ceremony of consecration having been performed, the children sang an appropriate anthem ; an excellent sermon was afterwards delivered by the Minister, the Rev. JOSEPH Hums SPEY, after which the company dispersed. Amongst the gentry present, we noticed the Rev. Archdeacon CAMBRIDGE; the Rev. Mr. BOUSTIELD, Lecturer at Mary-la-bonne Church; Rev. BASIL WOOD, of Bentinck Chapel; Sir Wu. PEPYS, and Sir ROBERT PlGou.—A vast number of Ladies and Gentlemen were obliged to return, the Church being so crowded. This morning the sentence of death was carried into effect in the Old Bailey, upon Joseph Harwood, aged eighteen years, for a highway robbery, attended with circumstances of peculiar desperation and atrocity. This prisoner was tried on the last day of the September Sessions. It appeared, from the evidence on the trial, that a man named Michael Sheen, a tailor, residing at Barnes,was at the review of cavalry on Hounslow Heath, oh the 7th July last, and At the conclusion of the review, went into a booth, where he was attacked by a gang, with whom was the prisoner, who robbed him of his coat, waistcoat, and money, and beat bins in a dread fully brutal manner. The prisoner was taken the same night, and upon the cleat est testimony was convicted, and, without recommendation to mercy, left to Isis fate. Since that time, he has made unceasing declarations that he knew not one of the gang, but was casually thrown amongst them at the review, and benefitted nothing by the robbery. Since his condemnation, his demeanour has been marked by contrite and apparently penitent feelings. His father, and some of his family have visited him. This morning, at halfipast seven o'clock, Mr. Al dermal BROWN, and Mr. Alderman KEY, the Sheriffs, with their attendants, arrived at the gaol, and found the culprit praying with great fervour in the Press-yard.-- After a pause, he was pinioned and led to the scaffold, the Rev. Oldinary reading the Burial Service. At eight o'clock he ascended the drop firmly ; and after a few minutes spent in ejaculatory prayer, the drop fell, which -closed Use world's seen.: on him tot ever. ..,.,: , ~ ' -^•• NAPAL INTELLIGF:NCE. bo A vessel (name unknown) is London, L th o e n, Br is eak l : t a a t t er e , ttom.up.

In the course of the day, the place was surveyed by Admiral Sir D. Milne, Captain Head, of the Royal Engineers, and se , veral other perions of science ; and at a meeting with 'the Magistrates and the parties interested, it was re solved, on the suggestion of Baron Clerk, to intrust to Captain Head, after he gave in his report, the entire 1 1 management of all those difficult operations. Captuia Hope, who arrived in the Roads on Tuesday, with the greatest zeal, volunteered his services, and brought along with him on shore 40 of his men. His offer being accepted, the warrant of the Dean of Guild to sanction the pros ceedings was immediately made out, and the operations commenced on Friday evening, and were resume,l on Saturday morning, and carried into effect with theinost complete success, so that the walls, which threatened destruction to all around, fell without the lea.t inj!;ry to the adjacent buildings. About twelve o'clock, the greater part of the south gable was pulled down; 'out it happened, uniottunately, that there was still left a detached cornet standing en tire, eight or nine feet in width by t h ree in thickness, and which presented a most singular and . dangerous spectacle, rising as it did from the suivolinding like a solitary column, to the height of about ISO feet. About half an hour after this, the mining operations, under the direction - of Mr. Miller, builder,, being com pleted, he proceeded to light the snatch, and so skilfully was the position chosen for the mine, that the first bla,t brought down at once the whole mass above, exactly on its own scite. The success of this operation caliea -forth general approbation. It then became necessary to clear away the dangerous ruins on the south-side, and particukuly the slender column already mentioned, which was considerably inclined towards the Cow gay The chain-cable having been again thi owls rounJ it, near the centre, so admirably were the arrangentrA , t contrived, that the column seemed to be cut exactly in two, and the upper part fell directly to the gron-J, and seemed to the mere distant spectators as it it had dis appeared in the earth. Before it was dark, all tl'at portion of the ruins which appeared to threaten was got down without any accident. In the cows:• the day also, a considerable portion of the ruinous wails in the Old Fish-mar ket Close were pulled down. We understand that the name of the sail-r who East went up to the Tron Church during the fire, is Farnie, who commands a small vessel, the property (.f Sir Philip Durham, of Fordel. We are sorry to hear that James Forrest, another of the men hurt during the late fires, died in the Royal It:- firmary on Saturday night.—Cai;donian Mei curd.
