...ojects present advance upon Rungpore? to which I replied that my instructions were to clear. the country of Assam of all opposiag forces, and to occupy it on the part of the BritisS Government, for the. protection of the in habitants ; that I was, surprised at the question, since 1. conceived the Phokuns must have been already apprized of our intentions by Mr. Scott's (A.G.G.) communica tion in reply to their's. The Gooroo expressing his total ignorance of the receipt by the Phokuns of Mr. Scott's letter, I explained the general tenour of the contents, which he promised faithfully to deliver to the Phokuns, and to return in the course of the day with their reply. I also took the opportunity of bringing forward a messenger of the Pliokuns returning with dispatches from Mr. Scott, who Lad arrived in camp the same morning, and of deliver ing the letters to the Gooroo for transmission to the Phokuns. Thee (roved to he the delayed commuilleations above adverted to. Within the period stipulated in the armistice, the Gooroo returned, stating that he hod not met with any opportunity of delivering the letters privately, which it wa,s necessary to do, to avoid the jealous suspicions of tie numerous conflicting factions into which the enemy were divided ; that he had every reason to believe the two great Chiefs Saum and Baglee Phokuns to be una nimous and disposed to enter into treaty wi h us; that he trusted much to his own sacred influence over them and all the others, to bring matters to an amicable adjustment; and requested a continuance of the truce till the morrow. He also asked tur some definite ex planation of our wishes. To this I acceded, adding, that he was authorized to say to the Ptirikuns, that 4 they decided on making tams of alliance with us, 1 was ready to meet them ; if on fighting, I war equally ready ; and if they wished to retire out of Assam into their own country, .I was willing to permit them CO do so, provided that they took the directest mote, committed no ravages on the road, and 'carried away none of the inhabitants now in their posse:afros, by compulsion. To this latter alter. native I was induced, by finding from the Gooroo the impracticability of a plan proposed by me to separate Abe two factions, by admitting the friendly-disposed por .tiou to the benefit of terms, provided they would come over and abandon the others to their fate in a continuance of on, of hostilities with us. This he declared impossible, since the latter considerably preponderated in strength ' over the former, though headed by the chiefs, and that the slightest supici of such an inclination would email bloodshed and destruction, not only on their families here, but in their own country.' was compelled reluctantly to :effect on the total want of means in my power to prevent their escape, or to pursue them, in which case all hope of rescuing the captive Assamese inhabitants must have been abandoned. It was at the same time clearly.pointed out to the Phokuns, and un derstood by them, that any act of plunder or aggres sion committed by the retiring party in progress through Assam, or in the territories of our allies, would he tantamount to an infringement of the engagement, and again draw down en them our arms. The following morning the Gooroo returned, accom panied by two inferior Phokuns (the brcther of Saum Phokun and - Hathee Phokuh), with a friendly offering, and a letter Irom the - chiefs, of which No. 3, is a translation.. Alter much- desultory 'conversation. the Gooroo returned with my reply;and an exchange of prearnu. . • On the following morning, a message was brought from the Gairoo by his brother Rutun Pal, stating that, in compliance:with my terms, one portion was prepar ing to evacuate the fort for their own country, and that the remainder were ready to surrender ; also that the Chiefs were anxious to wait on me to adjust the vat ious points of capitulation. . / accordingly invited , them to a conference, and directed the Officers of myStaff to proceed to meet thens,lnd conduct them to me. The principal Chiefs Saum Priokun, Sheick Phokun, and Nabaroo Phekun, (Banglee Phokun, having joined the other party and quitted the fort) having been intro duced, we proceeded to arrange the terms of treaty, of which the principal are as follows: On the part of Sarrax.Phokun. &c. that all his fol lowers should deliver up their arias aad warlike stores of all descriptions ; and that possession of the fort be given to us the moment the evacuating party should Lave quitted it. - On our part, that their lives and personal property should he guaranteed ; their wives and children and all who may be voluntarily attached to them secured to them, in conformity with instructions from Mr. Scott, A.G.G. that they should remain in every respect in their present situation until the arrival of Mr. Scott, or instructions from him respecting their ultimate desti nation ; and that having once entered into the bonds of friendly alliance with us, they shall not eventually be delivered over to the King of Ava in case of a peace, should he make such a stipulation, of which they enter tained great Altead, and were most anxious to receive posstive assurances. . Thee points being settled, the chiefs expressed their %(illingticas to surrender without delay, and I accord ingly directed'll tjor Waters to take a party and re ceive charge, when I had soon the satisfaction of seeing his Majesty's colours flying on the top of the palace in the inner fort, under a salute froM the battery in camp. Tim examination of the fort fully justified the opinion I had formed of the importance of the acquisition by the mode adopted, and of the utter inadequacy of my means of preventing the escape of thU greater part of thegar ri,,on, should we have proceeded to the assault. The place is of very great strength,'and surrounded by deep swamps and jungle, with a ditth ; the sorties to three gates were strongly , defended ; and; on them and• the walls were more than 200 pieces of ordnanctcready for service. • , . The garrison was reported to consist of 10,000, of all classes, of whom perhaps one-third were fighting men, of these 700 have sur• tendered-with the Phokuns. I have the honour to remit a return of the ordnance, arms, and' military stores captured. • -1 Hy the acqutsi.ion of Rungpore, I may now conkisfer e trilself in entire possession of Assam, and it is a source rr eat self-gratulation to me, that that important point been accomplished with so little loss on our .side, considering the means of annoyance possessed by the enemy in defending a country peculiarly unfavourable to regukr military operations.

The fal lowing is the Greek Narrative, (ions No. 11$, of the Friend of the Laws of the 15th of May :-... " MAT 7TR. " While the Egyptian fleet, which the Greek squa dron could not hinder . from sailing from Suda, was at tempting to land the Sd division of the troops, the enemy attacked on the land side Old Navarino, where there were only a few Greeks, under General Hadschi Christo, the Archbishop of Modon, and Alexander Mavrecordato, the Secretary• General, who, with a few soldiers, bad come the day before to this position. The troops resisted till night, and the enemy was hindered from landing, by our fleet. In the evening, the enemy occupied Petrochori and Jeloa, two neighbouring ports on the land side. " On the Bth he renewed his attempts by sea, and our fleet was unfortunately at a distance : eight of our ships anchored in the middle of the Gulf of Navarino, and Anastasia' Tsamados, the Commander of this division, landed on the little island of Shugia, where were Gene. rals Anagnostura and Tsokri with a few troops, whi ther the Secretary General and his followers had re paired, knowing that the enemy would attack th . s island. On this day the enemy's large ships remained out of the Gulf to keep off our fleet, but 46 others, in. cluding five frigates and four corvettes, entered and placed themselves between the island and the Conti nent, keeping up a constant fire on the island, while three frigates guarded the entrance of the harbour, to hinder our ships from sailing out. The enemy began the attack on the land side, where the weakest of the three batteries were placed. " About eleven, A.M. 50 armed boats attacked the island ; and while they were repulsed with gre.►t loss, on the side where Capt. A. Tsamados was stationed, with Col. Stauro Sachini, they overpowered our men on the other side, so that Tsamados was placed between the two fires. Sachini rushed, sword in hand, into the midst •f the enemy, and disappeared. 05r ships could not attack, because most of our sailors had landed to defend the island : many fell heroically, and many were wounded. When the enemy were really masters of the island, the remaining sailors went on board the ships, took the wounded and soldiers with them, and escaped through the midst of the enemy's .fleet. Only the ship of Tsamados stopped to take on board its brave Captain, who was wounded, but he could not teach, the ship, and was either killed or made prisoner. Mavrocordato,arter losing all his people, was saved on board this ship, Which, wi.h increJible herokrn, fought its way, and had lo'contend for five hours with 35 ships of the enemy ; yet it had but two men killed and six wounded. " One of the enemy's schooners was burnt, and a IA ig sunk. We do not know whe'hcr Crlostantihe Z ifiro poulo (brother of Genend Panajo Zalopoulo, %situ ~-~ Was taken prisoner on the MI April), was killed, or only taken prisoner. Count Santa Rosa, a warm friend to the Greeks, and an able engineer, fell in this engage ment. During the battle on the. Island, the enemy's infantry and cavalry made a desperate' attack by land on Old Navarino. but were repulsed with loss. 0 4 No. 114, of 16th of May, states,that the garriton,of Old Navarino, after a fruitless attempt to cut their way through the enemy, in which Hadschi Christo, the Archbishop of Modon, and the Son of the Bey of Mains were taken prisoners, had been obliged to capi tulate, to the number of 1,000 men." No. 115, of 20th May, gives an account of the naval victory of the 12th of May, and makes the loss of the enemy amount to twenty ships, viz:a two-deeker, two frigates, two corvettes, the others brigs, and a few trans ports. This account mentions, that it seems that the fire communicated to the town, and that several es plosions were heard, whence it is inferred that the pow der magazine in Modon was blown up. The Austrian Observer remarks in a note, that though it is now known from Major Bmducaa' report, that Modon suffered no injury, the Greek narrator cannot be blamed for what he says, since we know that Colonel Rottiers, who saw the beginning of the action, formed similar conjectures. No. 116 of The Friend of the Laws, of 23J May, states the sudden irruption of a body of Turks, of 2,500 foot and 500 horse, into Patalico and Pente Ornea, and overpowered the 400 Greeks stationed there, of whom 200 fell, aftef killing 600 of the enemy. A panic seized the inhabitants of Salona, which the Turks occupied alter the people had fled to Lutraki, with the. Commissioners of Government from Eastern Greece. The military stoles and provisions, which were the chief objects of the Turks, were saved, and the Commission of Government, having sent ships to fetch from Vostitra 3,500 Epirots (who it seems should have been on the spot before), it was hoped that their arrival would en courage the remaining troops, and the enemy would have reason to repent this rash incursion, in which they were induced by the hope of finding plenty of provisions. Notwithstanding the attempts of the Oriental Sfteda for of Smyrna, and the Austrian Observer, to depreciate the value of the recent naval successes of the Greeks, they appear to have been important, as well as of un questionable authenticity, the main facts being corrobo rated from various quarters. Accounts from Odessa, in the French Papers, state, that the Capitan Pacha had had several actions with the Greek Admiral SACHTURT. between the 26th May and the 4th June. The Capitan Pacha, according to these accounts, lost a frigate and two corvettes, which were burnt. Another frigate, all in flames, was driven on the coast of Syria. SACHTURY took eight brigs,twelve sloops,three schooners, and seven transports. On the 6th June, a European vessel met the Capitan Pacha, near the Isle of Milo; the Ottoman fleet then consisted of 18 sail, viz. seven three-masted vessels and 11 brigs. It was reported at Constantinople,that the Greeks had again attacked the Capitan. Pacha, and burnt another of his large ships. Some even relate that he had been taken prisoner in endeavouring to escape. Others say that he has been blown np. It is reported tha, on the 17th, the SULTAN appointed a successor to the Capitan Pacha in the person of the Pacha of Scto. The Master of a Sardinian vessel, lately arrived at Genoa from Salonica, has made a report to his merchant, of an action he saw fought on the Ist and 2d ult. by the Greeks against the Turkish fleet, between Ambros and Zea. The narrative is long, and by no means distinct, but k appears that the fleet of the Capitan Pacha had been harassed and attacked several days successively, by two divisions of the Greek fleet. The Turkish fleet was worsted, and lost several ships in these actions. A private letter from Constantinople states, that the PAcha's fleet consisted of two frigates of 56 guns, one frigate of 30 guns, eight corvettes of 26 guns, one cor vette of 22 guns, two brigs of 12 guns, two schooners,' two brigs, and one schooner Tr;poline, 11 brigs, 11 1 Schooners, 15 galleys Greek prizes, nine Frank, and 15 Turkish transports. • Such a fleet as this must have presented fetrful odds to the Greeks, and it is a proof of the skill and daring of the latter that they have triumphed over them. The French Papers mention, or rather revive a report, that the European Powers have offered to interfere in behalf of the Greeks, provided they would establish a Monarchical Government, and accept a King from them. Airstrian Officers are said to have arrived at Napoli "di Romania with proposals to that effect, and a strong recommendation, or rather positive direcricms, to elect Prince Gurravus, son to t l 4 deposed King of SWEDEN* This report derives additional probability from the ties of relation ship which exist between that Prince and the Emperor of RUSSIA, and from the fact that the Emperor Faiaacts has just appointed him Lieutenant-Colonel of his own Regiment of Hulans. Other individuals, however, have also been mentioned, and among them we find young NAPOLEON, the Prince DE CARIGNAN (heir to the Sardinian. Crown), and the Prince of Conuao.— The Swedish Prince, however, seems the favourite among the Continental Powers, if the report is to be credited; ben wepresttme the party most interested-- the Greeks themselves,, will be consulted on the occa ,ion. That they will feel j?alous of any foreign Prince is extremely natural ; and it is much to be regretted, that they have vet among them any individual who, by his rank, talents, or tervicei, would unite the general suffrages in his favour.
