The - ship was condemned as unsea worthy, and her crew, like those of the 'Hagan° (which went Owe ilte year before under similar circumstances) intwothiatfor their disaffection. It may aot be amiss to' add, that the Jupiter, although she bad been absent nearly three 'years, has not lost a spar or sail, and has gone over all the ground traversed by Lord Anton, and %Web forms but* small part of her route. Captain Leslie scarcely has had a man sick during the voyage; lust but one man, Henry Stewart, of Aberdeen, who was killed by wild beasts, in the Gulf of California, having imprudently wandered a short distance from the ship. His mangled body and clothes ue c found a few days afterwards. At the commencement of the gale the barometer fell m. re than an inch, one half of which, in the short space of ten minutes, a circumstance, it is thought, unprece dented in tropical climates. Captain Leslie left at Manilla a French ft igate and corvette, on a voyage of science and discovery, under command of Commodore Bougainville, son of the cele brated circumnavigator of that name. As usual in French National Discovery Ships, they were well pro- vided with Oflicets proficient in the various branches of science. Whilst at Manilla, some of the Officers were engaged in surveying the adjacent coasts, and others w ere ex plot ing the mountains of the Philippines for rare animals, minerals, and plants, and drawing or painting the most interesting subjects in nature and att. The Commander himself was employed in mak;ng astrono mic 1 and philosophical observations. The time of their departure from Manilla was retarded in consequence of the corvette losing her mainmast in the gale of October 30. They were first bound to Cochin China. where the French have lately formed a commercial establishment; thence they intended to touch at Canton, and after wards traverse the Pacific. EXTRACT 01 A LETTER, DATED RANGOON, DECEMBER 23. " Since my last of the 13th, gi'ing the statement of the Staff and the troops employed here, and particularly of the events between the 30th ultimo and the 9th' in'tant, we have had another alert. On the 15th, S r Archibald took out 1,303 men, in two columns, under Brigadier-General Cotton and Colonel Miles; the for mer composed of his Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, the 34th Native.L:ght Infantry, and the 18th Regi ment Native Infantry; the later consisted of details also of his Majesty's 38th, 41st, and 89:h Regiments, Ist Madras European Regiment, 12th, 28th, and 30th, Native Infantry. The enemy was found in a very .ornrclatile entrenched position ; so strong, indeed, that many of the most experienced Officers are surprised how we got into it; and their admiration of the gal lantry of the troops is most unequivocally expressed. Cotton's column was sent some distance round to take the enemy in the rear, and came so suddenly on his work!, that the signal gun for the other column to attack was fired just as we corn Isenced operations; we had, therefore, about a quarter of an hour to work away before the no er division commenced, and it is supposed vast numbers of the enemy rushed towards this point to repel us, as his loss here was great, and the 13th (King's) suffered considerably'-3 Subalterns killed, 3 Majors, and four other Officers wounded; and be. tween 50 and 60 men kil!ed and wounded. The 18th Regiment behaved with their usual steadiness and gallantry; and after the affair was over, Brigadier Cotton came in front of them, and spoke in the hand somest terms of their conduct, saying, he never wished to serve with better troops than the Coat Sepoys. The Native Officers and men are in the highest spirits; and it is even more gratifyi g to see the cordiality between the soldiers of the 13 h and the 18th Native Infantry. We are anxiously looking for some of the Bengal Sepoys to give us a little relief ro our duty. You will perceive th it lots of Staff are here waiting for their men. About 130 of the Body Guard were out on the 15th, and the half of them had full employment among the fugitives." FROM THE SUPPLEMENT TO THE MADRAS GOVERNMENT GAZETTE 01 JANUARY 15. By this time the force under Brigadier-General Mor rison, will, we trust, have made some progress towards the enemy's country ; and the very efficient state in which it will have taken the field, can leave little to fear as to its rapid and ultimate success. We have rca son to hope that the next accounts from Rangoon will inform us of Sir A. Campbell having left the Lines he has occupied since his disembarkation, and advanced al.ng the banks of the Irrawaddy. The season, which bas hitherto tought against us, is now as filvourable as can be desired, and the effect of the late encounter with the enemy, must have inspired him with a more correct wion of cur power than he seems hitherto to have entertained. It remains to be seen how far the barbarous policy of the Court of Ave, by which a pe pie, willing to receive a victorious enemy, and to supply their wants, are yet restrained from doing so, can be acted upon. It may be inferred, that, io proportion as this policy has hitherto been pursued with cruel and unrelenting rigour, the re-action on the Government adopting it will be the more terrible, when the day of retribution arrives, as we trust it is near at hand. It is said, that in the late attack on our Lines, the half armed, and less than half-armed population, were pushed forward by the Invincible: to bear us down by the weight of their numbers; and the barbarous al terpative afforded them, of dying either by the Lands of. the English, or those of their own countrymen, who fired upon them, when driven back. Of all the cruel refinements of war, this is certainly, if true,' the most truly barbarous of which we ever read; and it requires no great insight into human nature to see, t hat an invading force must, on the first decisive success of their arms find a population ready and willing to ;assist them. - The barbarous power which the Burmese seta n over their helpless hostages, cannot, from its na r?, endure beyond one or two conflicts; with the enemy; a .1 so far from being a resource against a disciplined • nervy, it is, in fact, one of the enemy's powerful aux'. liaties. In estimating its value to the Government of Ava, see are too apt to overlook its real nature, and ne cessariiy short duration ; but, while it is not remarkable that, during the short period of its operation, the inva ders should be totally deserted, it would be altogether surprising if it 4141 not ultimately recoil upon those Who have recourse to it. Its very necessity and adoption indicates that the subjects yield anything but a willing obedience, and no empire ever rested its permanente ors a. sine unstable foundation.

Several of the authors and accomplices of the insurrection at Monteforte, have been condemned to death by the Supreme Council Criminal Court of Naples, at the instance of 'the Attorney General, Brundusini. It is supposed, however, that the sentence will not be executed, but that mercy will take pine of justice.

The OrientalSpedator has the following letter from Syra, dated Bth April : "The Turks landed at Modon have given up the siege' of Navarino, divided into two columns, and pene trated eight leagues into the interior of Messina, ravaging and burning everything in their way. The intestine quarrels of the Greeks, far from inclining to conciliation in the impending danger, have broken out with fresh violence: As the Hydriots refused to put to sea till they receives their arrears of pay, Conduriotti, the President, had been in person to Hydra, to persuade the Captains of the ships to sail; but, at a meeting, held for the purpose, Condutiotti refused to give to the Captains a detailed account of the sums received from the English Loan ; on which one of them, in his passion, fired a pistol at the President's brother, but missed him. Thus the assembly broke up, and Conduriotti left Hydra without having effected anything. It is, unfor tunat-ly, certain, that the Turks have an understanding with the petty Chiefs in the Morea, and if they continue to act with union and energy while the strrngth of the Greeks is by internal dissensions, the issue of the campaign is hardly doubtful." TRIESTE, MAY 8. Since the last aciount from Zante, of the 18th of April. a report has been spread that Ibrohino had sailed with his fleet from Modon bAck to Candia. The Greeks believe this; but it is more probable that the ships bare sailed to fetch reinforcements from Candia. We expect farther accounts every hour. By a ship that sailed from Smyrna on the 15th April, we learn that the Greeks have captured. ne4r Suda, three Turkish bri. gantines, with ammunition. bound to the Morea. NAPLES, MAY 7. TheVesuv:us, of the line, two fiigates, and two brigs, have orders to sail to Genoa, there to wait for the King and his august family. It is thought that his Majesty will avoid returning, in the hot season, through thePon tine Marshes, for fear of injuring the health of the youngest Infant, the Count d'Aquila. It is after the return of the King that we expect some mild measures to be adopted with sweet to those Neapolitans who have been obliged, since the revolution in 1820, to leave their cenatry, without judicial enquiry or sentence. It is only the uncertainty respecting the manner in which such measures may be accomplished, that has hitherto delayed them. Nobody at Naples believes the calumnious insinuations of ill-disposed and ill-informed persons, that Austria appears all reconciliation and pardon, and hid insisted that every measure of such a tendency should be de ferred till after the conferences at Milan.

The first story of the addition to ,Hamilton Palace is up; and the work is going on remarkably well. About 80 masons are constantly employed at it. The base m nt is composed of the finest freestone from Overton Quarry, from two to three tons weight, and seven to nine feet long. The front of the Palace will he to the north, and will be 367 feet in length ; the elevation to the east 176 feet, and the elevation to the we-t 133 feet. The old Palace will be in the centre, and continue to face the south. The prrtico will be supported , by iii colannns of the Corinthian order, and the well-kno an highly cultivated taste r.f the Dike of HAMILTON gives assurance that the nel Palace will be one of the finest specimens of Grecian architecture in the island. A difference has for some time existed between the masters and journeymen bookbinders of this city, on the subject of wages, which was expected to lead to a general strike by the latter, when on Saturday they were anticipated by the masters, who gave each of their men, individually, , a fortnight's notice to quit, unless they were content to remain at the . old rates. So far from this being their inclination, however, most of the journeymen met the notice of the masters by a counter notice, intimating that they would quit their service in eight days.
