dr" 44 1, . ADMIRALTY OFFICE, APRIL at, sus. Vice-Admiral Sir HARRY Nem.' has .oansmitted to this Office a letter from Captatn HAMILTON, of the Cambrian, stating that two piratical vessels, carrying one gun, and about thirty area each, were captured on the 31st of January last, in the Channel of Negro-, pima, by the boats of his Majesty's ships Cambrian and Seringapatam, under the orders of. Lieut. MAR.. SHAM, First of the Cambrian. When these pitates were first discovered, they were in chase of an lonian vessel; and there being reason to suspect (as was afterwards found to be the fact), that they had shortly before plundered another vessel tinder the same flag, Captain HAMILTON' sent Lieute tent MARSHAM in one of the Cambrian's boats, with a Greek interpreter; to desire that they would come down to his Majesty's ships for examination ; but the pirates having refused to comply with this desire, Lieu tenant MARSHA)/ was joined by the other boats of the Cambrian and by those of the Seringapatam, sent by Captain HAMILTON'S orders to his support. On the approach of the boats, the pirates com menced firing upon them from their guns, and with musquetry, and persevered in so doing, notwithstand ing the endeavour of Lieutenant MARSHA)! to prevail upon them to desist, who, after exhausting, even un der their fire, every means of persuasion, was obliged at last to attack them, and the pirate vessels were then in the most gallant manner boarded and carried, after a desperate resistance on the part of their crews, of whom few only could be taken prisoners, the .greater number being killed or wounded. The Officers and Men of his Majesty's ships em ployed in the boats, acquitted themselves on this occa sion with the utmost gallantry, and the whole of their conduct is noticed by Captain HAMILTON in terms of hi 7h commendation. 9.

LONDON GAZETTE EXERAORDINAR Y. SUNDAY, APRIL 24, 1825. INDIA BOARD, APRIL 23, 1825. Dispatches have been received at the East India House from the Governor• General in Council at Fort William, in Bengal with inclosures, of which the aie copies: Copy of a Letter`from Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Campbell, K.C.B. to George Swinton, Esq l _Secretary to the Bengal Go- vcrtunent, datedHead-quarters:Rangoon, 25th Nov. 1824. Stn—Since I had the honour of announcing the cap tore of Martaban* by the troops under the orders of Lieutenant Colonel Godwin, I have received intelli gence of the submission of Tenasserim, and the town .and small province of Yeah; these places of their own accord requested our protection; and the whole Bar mese coast, from It ingoon to the eastward, is now sub ject to the British arms. The enemy's troops, which lied from the captured towns, and assembled at Yeah, embarked there in forty boats, and I understand have, since landed in the district of Dalla. The reiterated accounts I have lately received, from all %natters, of a numerous army collecting in the neighbourhood of PI ome, for the purpose of expelling us from Rangoon, now fully convince me the effort will be made. Maha Bundoola is said to have been nominated to the chief command, and I make no doubt we shall, ere long, have the whole strength and talent of the empire to contend with in this neighbourhood. Lieutenant-Col. Miles, with the European part of the force detached to Tavoy and Mergui, has returned to headquarters. Herewith I have the honour of enclosing a report from Lieutenant Greer, of the Honourable Company's Marine, of a gallant little affair with the enemy's boats on the 7th instant.—l have the honour to be, &c. A. CAMPBELL, Brigadier-Gen. Copy of a Letter from Liotenant Greer, Commanding the East India Company's Cruiser Thetis, to Brigadier-General Sir A.! Campbell, K.C. B. dated,l4th November, 1824. SIR-1 have the honour to report that on Sunday, the 7th instant, at eleven, A.M. I left the ship in a row boat, with a guard of six scpoys of the Bombay Marine Battalion, for the purpose of waiting on the senior Offi cer at Rangoon. Abreast of a small creek, a little be low Basseen Creek, six war-boats pulled out and stood up close along till abreast Basseen Creek, la ken eight mote boats, of the same description, joined them ; they then came out and endeavoured to cut her off by pulling across the river, ahead of the row-boat; I kept up a constant fire from the twelve-pounder and musketry, until two of the boats came alongside; I immedia7ely jumped on board of them with the sepoye, and suc ceeded in bayoneting every man. In one of the boats there appeared to be a Chief, whom I shot in the act of darting a spear at me. The other twelve boats were coming clo.se up, but seeing the fate of the other two, made off towards the shine, upon which I kept a smart fire while within range. 1 am sorry to state that du ring the acCoo, one sepoy and one row-boat man were severely wounded, the former in two - places; in each of these boats were from thirty to forty men. I cannot conclude this report, without recommending strongly to notice the gallant conduct of the sepoys of the ro u ;bay Marine Battalion in leaping into the enemy's boats, and for the destructive and well-directed fire they kept up on the approach of the enemy, whereby great numbers were either killed or wounded before they came alongside. The conduct of the row-boat men deserves every praise —I have the honour to be, &c. S. W. GREER, Lieutenant, Commanding Hon. Company's Cruizer Thetis. Copy of a Letter from Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Camp bell, K.C.B. to George S winton, E.+ Secretary to the Bengal Government, dated Head-Quarters, Rangoon, 9th Dec. 1824. SlR—The long threatened, and on my part no less anxiously wished for event, has at length taken place : Malta Bundoola, said to be accompanied by the Ptinces of Tonghoo and Sarawuddy, appeared in front of my position on die morning of the first instant. at the h ead of the whole united force of the Burman Empire, amounting, upon the most moderate calculation, to from fifty to sixty thousand men, apparently well erased, with a numerous artillery, and a body of Cas say horse. Their haughty leader had o insolently declarei his intention of leading us in captive chains to grace the triumph of the Golden Monarch ' • but it has pleased o°o to ° : P*" the ormirY of his idle threats, and crown age [Pallas Gazette, sloth Artit, p. etir, et seq. the heroic efforts of my gallant litde army with a mostl .complete and signal victory.• The enemy had assembled his limes in thch jungle in taw front during the *lit of the 30th ult and being Well aware of his near approach, I had viously made every necessary arrangement for hit re ception, in whatever way he might think proper to leave his impervious camp. The absence of 'Lieutenant- Colonel Godwin, at Manahan, and of ii- strong detach. ment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Mallett, which I had sent to display the British flag in the ancient capital of Pepe, had much weakened my lines, but I had been too long familiar with the resolute courage of British troops to have felt any regret that fortune had given me an opportunity of contending with Bundoola and his formidable legions, even under circumstances of temporary disadvantage. Early in the morning of the Ist instant, the enemy commenced his operations by a smart attack upon our post at Kemmendine, commanded by Major Yates, and garrisoned by the 26th Madras Native Infantry, with a detachment of the Madras European Regiment, sup ported on the river by as strong a naval force as could be spared. As the day became light, it discovered nu merous, and apparently formidable, masses of the ad vancing enemy issuing from the jungle, and moving at some distance upon both our flanks, for the purpose of surrounding us, which I allowed them to effect without intenuption, leaving us only the narrow channel of the Rangoon River unoccupied in our rear. Bundoola had now fully exposed to me his plan of operations,and my own resolution was instantly adopted, of allowing, and even encouraging him to bring forth his means and resources from the jungle to the more open country on his left, where I knew I could at any time attack hire to advantage. The right corps of the Burme:e army had crossed to the Della side of the Rangoon River, and in the course of the morning was observed in several divisions cross- 1 ing the plain Edwards the site of the wired village of Dalla, where it took post in the neighbouring jungle, sending on a division to occupy the almost inaccessible ground on the bank of the river, and from which they soon opened a distant fire upon the shipping. Another division immediately brr ke ground in front of Kern mendinei and for six successive days tried in vain every effort that hope of success and dread of failure could call forth, to drive the brave 26th and a handful of Europeans from this post, while tremendous fire-rafts and crowds of war-boats were every day employed in the equally vain endeavour to drive the shipping from their station off the place. The enemy's right wing and centre occupied a range of hills immediately in fiont of the great Dagon pa goda, covered with so thick a forest as to be impene trable to all but Burman troops, and their left extended nearly two miles further, along a lower and more open ridge to the village of Puzendoon, where their extreme left rested. They were no sooner thus placed in posi tion than muskets and spears were laid aside for the pick-axe and shovel, and in an incredibly short space of time every part of their line out of the jungle was strongly and judiciously entrenched. In the afternoon of the 1 ,t, I observed an opportu nity of attacking the enemy's left to advantage, and ordered Major Sale, with 400 mot from the 13th Light Infantry and 18th Madras Native Infantry, under Ma jor Dennie, of the former, and Captain Ress, of the latter corps, to move forward to the point I bad se lected, and I never witnessed a more dashing charge; than was made on this occasion by his Majesty's 13th, while the 18sli Native Infantry followed their example I with a spit it that did them honour, carrying all oppo sition before them. They burst through the entrench ments, carrying terror and dismay into the enemy's ranks, great numbers of whom were slain, and the piny returned loaded with arms, standards, and other trophies. Having correctly ascertained everything I required, I now, asi originally determined, abstained from giving any setious interruption to the indefatiga ble labour of the opposing army, patiently waiting un til I saw the whole of their materiel fully brought for ward and within my reach. About sunset in the evening, a cloud of skirmishers were pushed forward close under the north-east angle of the pagoda, who, taking advan tage of the many pagodas and strong ground on our front, commenced a haravong and piling fire upon the works. lat once saw we should suffer from their fire if not dislodged, and therefore ordered two compa nies .f the 38th Regiment, under Captain Piper (an Officer I have often had occasion to mention), to ad vance and drive them back. Were it permitted on such an occasion to dwell upon the enthusiastic spirit of my troops, I should feel a pleasure in recounting the burst of rapture that foilowedievery order to advance against their audacious foe; but it is sufficient to re mask, that the conduct of these two companies was most conspicuous; they quickly gained their point, and fully acted up to the character they have ever sustained. —At day light on the morning of the '2d, finding . the enemy had very moll encroached dui ing the night, and had entrenched a height in fiont of the north gate of the pag oda, which gave them an enfilading fire upon part of our line, 1 directed Captain Wilson, of the 38th Regiment, with two companies of that Corps, and 100 wen of the '2Bth Madras Native Infantry, to drive them from the hill. No order was ever more rapidly or handsomely obeyed. The brave sepoys vying with their British comrades in forward gallantry, allowed the appalled Burmese no time to rally, but drove them from one breast-work to another, lighting them in the very h. les they had dug, finally to prove their graves. In the course of this day, Col. Mallen': detachment returned from Pegue, having found the old city com pletely deserted, and gave me the additional means of attacking the enemy the moment the time arrived. During the 3d and 4th the enemy carried on his labours with indefatigable industry, and but for the inimitable practice of our artillery, commanded by Captain Murray, in the absence, from indisposition, of Lieutenant-Colonel Hopkinson, we must have been severely annoyed by the incessant fire from his trenches. The attacks upon Kemmendine continued with un abating violence, but the unyielding spirit of Major Yates and his steady troops, although exhausted with fatigue and want of rest, bailed every attempt on shore, while Captain Ryves, with his Majesty's sloop Sophie, the Honourable East India Company's cruizer, Teign mouth, and some flotilla and row gun boats, nobly maintained the long established fame of the British Navy, in defending the passage of the river against the most furious assaults of the enemy's war boats, advancing under cover of the most tremendous fire rafts, which the unwearied exertions of British sailors could alone have conquered. Capt. Ryves lost no opportunity of coming in con tact with the much vaunted boats of Ava, and in one morning, five opt of six, each mounting a heavy piece of ordnance, were boarded and captured by out men, -.~, T `~ Are. of wars *sits, commanded, by ten* Kellett, o his Majesty's ship Araebne, ankLieuteraela Goldfinch of the Sophie, whose intrepid cstaduct merits the high eit -prilse. The enemy having apparently completed his left wing with its full complement of artillery and warlike stores, I determined to attack that part of his line early on the morning of the sth. I requested Captain Chadds, the senior nay it Officer here, to move up the Puzen doon Creek during the night, with the gun flotilla, bomb•ketch, &c. and commence a cannonade on the enemy's rear at day-light. This service was most judi ciously and successfully performed by that Officer, who has never yet disappointed me in my most san guine expectations. At the same time, two tolumns of attack were formed agreeably to orders, I had issued on the preceding evening, composed of details from the different Regiments of the Army ; the first, consisting .of one thousand one hundred men, I placed under the orders of that gallant Officer, Major Sale, and directed Win to attack and penetrate the centre of the enemy's line; the other, consisting of six hundred men, I en trusted to Major Walker, of the 3d Madras Native Light Infantry, with orders to atiack their left, which had approached to within a few hundred yards of R tn goon. At seven o'clock, both columns moved forward to the point of attack. Both were led to my perfect satisfaction, and both succeeded with a degree of ease their intrepid and undaunted conduc: undoubtedly en sured; and I directed Lieutenant Archbold, with a troop of the Right Honourable the Governor-General's body guard, which had been landed the pr ceding evening, to follow the column under Major Sale, and take advantage of any opportunity which might offer to charge. e enemy were defeated and dispersed in every di rection, and the body guard gallantly charging over the broken swampy ground, completed their terror and dismay. The Cassay horse fled, mixed with the retreating infantry; and all their artillery, sto-es, and reserve depots, which had cost them so much toil and labour to get up, with a great quantity of small arms, gilt chattahs, standards, and other trophies, fell into our hands. Never was victory more complete or more de cided, and never was the triumph rf discipline and va lour over the disjointed efforts of irregular c, Drage, and infinitely superior numbers, more conspicuous. Majors Dennie and Thornhill, of the 13th Light Infantry, and Major Gore, of the 89th, were ilistingu , shed by the steadiness with which they led their men ; but it is with deep regret I have to state the loss we h eve sustained in the death of Major Walker, one of India's best and bravest soldiers, who fell while leading his column into the enemy's intrenchments, when the command de volved upon Major Wahab, who gallantly conducted the column during the rest of the action ; and I observed the 34th iAadras Native Light Infantry on this occasion conspicuously forward. The Burmese left wing thus disposed of, I patiently waited its effect upon the right, posted in so thick a forest as to render any attack in that quarter in a great measure impracticable. On the 6th, I had the pleasure of observing that Bun dna.' had brought up the scattered remnant of his defeated left to strengthen his right and centre, and continued day and night employed in carrying on his approaches in front of the Great Pagoda. 1 ordered the artil cry to slacken its fire, and the infantry to keep wholly out of sight, allowing hire to carry on his fruit less labour with little annoyance or m•lestation. As I eziected, he took system for timidity ; and on the morning of the 7,11 instant, 1 had his whole force posted in my immediate front; his first line intren-hed so close that the soldiers in their barracks could distinctly hear the threats and reproaches of the B.irman bravoes. The ime had now arrived to undeceive them in their sanguine but ill-founded hopes. I instantly made my arrangements, and at had-past eleven o'clock everything Was ill readiness to assault the trenches in four columns of attack, under the superintendence of Lieutenant- Colonel Miles, my second in command, and commanded by Lieutenant-Colorses Adieu, Parlby, Brodie, and Capt. Wilson, of the 38th Regiment. At a quarter be fore twelve I ordered every gun th;it would bear upon the trenches to open, and their fire was kept up with an effect that never was surpassed ; Major Sale at the same time, as directed, making a diversion on the enemy's left and rear. At 12 o'clock the cannonade ceased, and the columns moved lorwar d to their respective points of at tack. Everything was done under myown immediateeye, but where all behaved to nobly, 1 cannot particularize; but I must in justice state, that Captain Wilson's and Lieut.-Colonel Parlby's divisions first made an impres sion from which the enemy never recovered. They were driven from all their works without a check, aban doning all their guns, with a great quantity of arms of every description, and certainly not the least amusing part. of their formidable preparations was a great num ber of ladder a, fur escalading the Great Pagoda, found in rear of their position. The total defeat ot Bundoola's army was now most fully accomplished ; his loss in killed and wounded, from the natur e of the ground, it is impossible to calculate; but I am confident I do not exceed the fairest limit when I state it at five thousand men. In every other respect the mighty host, which so lately threatened to overwhelm us, now ,scarcely exists ; it commenced its inglorious flight during last night ; humbled, dispersing, and deprived of their arms, they cannot, for a length of time, again meet us in the field, and the lesson they have now received, will, I am confident, prove a salutary antidote to the native arro gance and vanity of the Burmese nation. Thus va nished the hopes of Ave; and those means which the Burmese Government were seven months in organizing for our annihilation have been completely' destroyed by us in the course of seven days. Of three hundred pieces of ordnance that accompanied the grand army; two hundred and forty are now in-our camp, and in muskets, their loss is to them irreparable. Our loss in killed and wounded, although severe, will not, I am sure, be considered great for the important services we have had the honour to perform. Of my troops I cannot say enough ; their valour was only equalled by the cheerful patience with which they bore long and painful privations. My Europeans fought like Britons, and proved themselves worthy of the coun ivy that gave them birth; and 1 trust I do the gallant sepoys justice when I say that never did troops more strive to obtain the palm of honour, than they to rival their European comrades in everything that marks'the steady, true, and dating soldier. My obligations to Captains Chadds and Ryves, and the Officers and seamen of his Majesty's Navy, are great and numerous; in Captain Chadds himself I have 'always found that ready alacrity to share our toils and dangers, that has ever characterised the profession he belongs to, and the most cordial zeal in assisting and co-operating with me on every occasion. I have alsci ito notice the good conduct of the Honourable Com- . - . pany s Cruizers, tile gun flotilla, Ina koir-isuais ; sdi ought I to omit mentioning the handsome tondrict Captain Binny, Acting Agent for the Bengal Trahs; ports, in volimietring both is European crew add ship for any service ; on the present ockasion she was chored off Dalla; and sustained some loss • Fresh , Ai enemy's fire. I may also add, that eveil tridspoit id the river was equally anziotts to Contribute eaeli pOss sible assistance to the publiceeriticr. • • To Lieutenant-Colonel Miles and Majoi Evans, ilia = rnanding the Ist and 2d divisions, thy moat perticildaf thanks are due, for the alacrite and promptitude diitll which my orders were carried into effect by their se spective divisions; and Major Frith, of his Majesty's Siltri regiment, commanding in the Pagoda, attracted my particular notice, by his steady method of cons ducting all the severe duties of that important post. The services of the artillery from the three Presidencies; commanded by Capta:ns Timbrell and Montgomerie, under the general direction of Captain Murray in the lines, and of Captain Russell, of the Bombay Artillery, in the town and its vicinity, were most conspicuously bt illiant. To Captain Cheape, commanding engineer, and every individual of the department, the greatest credit is due ; and the conduct of Captain Wheeler and the MA'. dras pioneers is justly a theme of praise to every officer whose command they ate placed under. The extent arid long continuance of our late opera tions necessarily entailed a most arduous and sever duty upon my Deputy Quarter-Master-General, Major Jackson, whose zeal, talent, and activity, entitle him to my fullest approbation; Lieutenant-Colonel Tidy, my Deputy Adjutant-General, performed the duties of his station with that ability and cheerful readiness that has ever distinguished him ; and from my personal S;aff, Captains Snodgrass and Campbell, 1 received every aid and assistance that devotion to the service could command. Many points may remain unnoticed upon which the Right Honourable the Governor-General in Council may dtsite to be informed, and I have therefore directed my first Aide-de-Camp, Captain Snodgrass. en Officer of long standing and exi.erimce, and who has seen much service, to be the bearer of this dispatch ; he enjoys my fullest confidence, is intimately acquainted w . th all my views and intentions, and most capable of affording any information that may be required, and I beg most earnestly to recommend him to the kind pro,- section of the Right Honourable the Governor-General. I have, &c, A. CAMPBZI.L, Brig.-Gen.

Sin—Upon returning to Rangoon on the evening of the Bth instant, I found the enemy's corps of observa tion on the Dalla side of the river had not been wholly withdrawn, probably from ignorance of what had taken place on the preceding day, in front of the Great Pagoda; and as I was well aware they would not remain long after the news of Bundonla's defeat had reached them,l at once determined to assault their works. Detachments from his Majesty's £9th, the Honour able Company's Ist Nradras European regiment, and the 43d Madras native infantry, were immediately or dered under arms, and; just as the moon rose, they moved across the river, under the command of Major Farrier, of the latter corps, landed and jumped, with out a moment's hesitation, into the enemy's trenches; many Burmese were slain in the short conflict that en sued ; they were driven, at the point of the bayonet, into the jungle in their rear, and ten good guns, with many small arms, fell into our possession.: Major Farrier kept his ground during the night, and in making a reconnoissance early in the morning found the enemy still occupied some stockades in the jungle in considerable force. lin consequence directed Lieu tenant‘Colonel Parlby, with a reinforcement of his Ma. jesty's 89th regiment, under Major Basden, and three hundred of the 12th and 30th Madras Native Infantry, to join Major Farrier, and attack the enemy wherever he might be found. Lieutenant-Colonel Parlby's cool ness and judgment fully confirmed the high, opinion so justly entertained of him ; he drove the enemy in great confusion from all their strong-holds in the jun gle, and they are now only seen in unconnected groups at a great distance on the plain. Lieutenant-Colonel Parlby bears the most honour able testimony to the valour and intrepidity of Major Basden and his Majesty's 89th Regiment, and pays the highest compliment to Major Farrier and all the other troops employed, as well as Capt. Russell, of the Ar tillery, who accompanied him. I have, &c. A. CAMPBELL, Brig.-Gen. By theßetum of Killed and Wounded,it appears that in this opr ration there were 2 killed and 46 wounded.
