• • 10 h I did not 'artiest T iboi id so *so& have the pleasure of communicating to yott, that it has again pleased Goa to favour us with a great victory over the army of Bundoola, re-collected after his late defeat, and considerably reinforced on his retreat ; which latter iirciirastance induced him and his Chiefs to determine ppon one more great effo rt to retr i eve t h e i r di sgrace. or this pttrpose they succeeded in rallying and for tag, with the reinforcements mentioned, a force amount lug to between twenty and twenty-five thousand men, and returned to the village of Corkain, about three finites from the Great Pagoda, and immediately cont. riie'nced entrenching and stockading, with a judgment in point of position such as would do credit to the best-initrueted engineers of the most civilized and war like nation,. On the evening of the 12th, a deserter from the enemy (amongst much other intormation) declared it to be their intention to attack our lines on the morning of the •14th (pronounced a fortunate day by their sooth sayers), determined to sacrifice themselves at the dearest rate, as they had nothing else to expect than to do so igaominilusly by returning to the presence of their King, disgra,ed and defeated as they had been. This information was too circumstantially given to be disre garded, and I prepared accordingly. On the 13th the enemy's movements left little doubt on my mind of the truth of the deserter's inforination. About half-past two on the morning of the 14th, a formidable fire-raft was launched from a little above Kemmendine (which, however effected nothing) ; and, at the same time, their emissaries succeeded in setting fire to Rangoon in several places at once; by which about one fourth of the town has been destroyed, not withstanding the utmost efforts of the garrison, and well disposed part of the inhabitants to get the file under. The 14th passed without any other attempt on the part of the enemy; during the day, however, he was seen above Kemmendice to transport large bodies of troops from the Dilla to the Rangoon side of the river. For many urgent reasons I determined to attack Bun doola on the following day,rather than wait his pleasure as to time and place of meeting. The pcsition he had taken up (though formidable) was still more favourable than any he had yet pre sente4ll me with. I also derived much advantage Prom .a knowledge of the ground the enemy were in posses sion of, having been over it with a part of my force upon a former occasion. Oil the morning of the 15th, my columns of attack were formed as follows:—The right consisting of 201), of his Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, and 300 of the 18th and 34tit Madras Native Infantry, under the di rection of Brigadier-General Cotton, with one field piece and a detachment iron] the Right Honourable the Governor-General's body guard, under the com mand of Lieutenant Archbold. This column I di rected to mike a detour round the enemy's left, and, if possible, to gain the rear of his position, and there wait the preconcerted signal of attack from me. I marched myself with the left column, which con sisted of 500 Europeans from the 38th, 41st, 89th, and Madras European Regiment, and 300 Natives from the 9th, 12th, 28th, and 30th Regiments of Madras Nativ,l Infantry, five field-pieces, and a detachment of the body guard, under the command of Lieutenant Dyke, intending to attack the enemy in fvnt. On arriving before the enemy's position, it appeared truly formida ble, and such as I would hardly have felt myself war ranted in a tacking with a less force than 10,000 men, had I not from experience known and appreciated the valour of the troops I had the honour to command. Of this column to o divisions were formed, giving the com mand to Lieut.-Col. Miles, of the 89th, and the other to Major Evans, of the 28th Regiment. My dispositions being complete, the preconcertel signal guns were fired, and I had the pleasure to hear Brigadier-General Cotton's reply, which assured me that all was ready on his side; the artillery now opened, and the three columns rushed on to the assault with the most determined and enthusiastic bravery, and in less than fifteen minutes were in full possession of this most stupendous work, making the enemy suffer most se verely, and obliging him to leave his camp standing, with all the baggage, and a great proportion of their arms and arnmun tion; on entering we were disap pointed to find that Bundoola did not command in per son, having retiredto a distance, leaving his orders with a chief, in the immediate command of the post, who we found had been mortally wounded in the assault ; while this was going on within, the Governor-General's body guard made some gallant charges amongst the retreat ing infantry and Cassay horse, dealing death and de struction to all around. When it is known that thirteen hundred British infantry stormed and carried by assault the most formidable entrenched and stockaded works 1 ever saw, defended by upwards of twenty thousand men, I trust it is unnecessary for me to say more in praise of men performing such a prodigy ; future ages will scarcely believe it. The prisoners declare that our appearance before their works was treated by them all (from their Generals downwards) with the utmost deri sion and contempt ; so confident were they in their im mense superiority in numbers, and the fancied security of the works they had constructed. Our gallant friends afloat were determined not to let this auspicious day pass without their share of its ope rations. Captain Chadds directed that intrepid and enterprising Officer, Lieutenant Kellett, of his Majesty's ship Arachne, to proceed in command of an expedition. up the river, and avail himself of any opportunity which might offer of attacking the enemy's war-boats; he soon came up with a fleet of thirty-two, and after some little manoeuvring to encourage the enemy to a confidence that they would by their own superiority in rowing keep their own distance, suddenly put the full power on the Diana steam-boat, and immediately cut through the midst of their fleet, throwing their Com manders and crews into the utmost consternation, some making-for the shore and others leaping overboard in the middle of the river, all abandoning their boats, and leaving Lieutenant Kellett at leisure to take possession of and bring away thirty out of the thirty-two origi nally discovered, and to destroy on his return several fire-rafts, as well as materials and combustibles for their future construction. Every day's experience of the zeal and cordiality with which Captain Chadds (and every individual composing the naval part - of the expedition) co-operate with me in carrying en the combined service, increases my sincere obligations, and merits my warmest thanks. Although I have already endeavoured to describe to the lt'ght Hon. the Governor-General in Council the enthusiastic bravery of_ the corps engaged yesterday, still I cannot emit to mention the able and judicious aid I received from my second in command, Brigadier- General Cotton. The movement by which his column was brought to the point of attack, through an intricate country, was well executed, and the attack itself after- LONDON. MONDAY, APRIL 23, 1825. HOLIDATST.

This day is a Holiday both at the Bank, Stock Exchange, and Foreign Market; but a number of Brokers have assembled on the Royal Exchange, there is, however, no business doing.

The length of the Dispatches from India, which will be found in this day's *rats, leave us no room for comment. The victories gained over the Burmese are as honourable to the British arms as they must be de cisive of the war. In one of the engagements the Burmese lost 5,000 men, and 240 pieces of ordnance. Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPIIRLL has displayed great skill in this war, and nothing could surpass the gallantry of his troops. Letters have been received by a Merchant in the City, from Trieste, confirming the account of the earthquake at Algiers, which we gave some time ago. The letter states, that upwards of seventeen thousand persons perished, of whom more than two thousand were Jews A Jamaica Mail arrived this morning, with papers and letters to the 15th of March, but they contain no intelligence of any interest, except that everything is perfectly tranquil in that colony. We have received Lisbon Gazettes to the 10th inst. They state that, as the yellow fever has entirely ceased in the United States, and as no contagious disorder has appeared in Europe or on the coast of Africa, the term of quarantine for all those countries is shortened. The intelligence in the official Journals of Greece, as well as that derived through the French Papers, is gra tifying. The former, which have been received to the 4th of March, do not abound in details of Greek he roism, bat they afford evidence of that more arduous consummation, the consolidating of the Government in an infant State, and the triumph of the law over the spirit of discord and insurrection. On the 18th inst. the leaders of the sedition, who were at Napoli, wow by order of the Executive Body, sent on board the ge letut Corso, and committed to the custody of the G. neral KYRIALOS SCOURTIB, who was instructed to take them to Hydra,that they might be safely guarded there, till their trial took place. Among them were COLOOO* TROINI, the four brothers DBLIJANI, the two brothers Noraaopoum, and others of minor note. This took place in the day-time. An immense number of per inns," says the Greek Officia Journal, " came to witness the scene, and not the least confusion occurred. Joy shone on the faces of all who were present, ceased by seeing the laws put in execution ; but it was a patriotic and noble joy, which did not produce excesses." Preparations were making for the trial, and the Le gislative Body had passed a Decree for supplying the place of• any of the Judges who might be challenged by the prisoners; nine additional Members were for that purpose added to the Commission. :The system of mutual education is making much pro. gress in Greece; some of the pupils have qualified themselves for teachers, and are forming schools in different places. The Official Gazette of Hydra of the 25th February, states what we are somewhat surprised at, namely, that the President CONDUMOTTIS was about to leave Napoli, in order to take the command of the land and sea forces at Patras; and the French Papers state, that after con ducting the siege for some time, he advanced towards Modon in order, we presume, to encounter the troops landed by the Egyptian fleet. ALEIMNDER MAVROCORDATO has undertaken the place of Secretary General. GICOA BOTTASIS has been chosen Vice-President of the Executive Body. A letter from Egypt, in the Greek Journals, describes the Pacha to have been, throughout the whole of his late expensive and unfortunate campaigns, the dupe of Turkish artifice, and of flattery administered to him by. Europeans in ~~~ r. ; • . • wards ins.conducted with the m tcial effects to the general success of the day. To Lieutenant-Colonel Miles and Major Evans, who led the other columns of attack, every prai se i s d ue; the exertions of Capt a in, Montgonicie, commanding the artillery in the fi eld, together with those of Captain Cheape and Lieutenant Underwood, of the et gineers, were most conspicuous Lieutenant-Colonel Tidy, Deputy Ad j u tatit-General, and Major Jackson, Depety Quarter-Master-General, afforded me on this day, as well as on former occasions, their able and zealous aid. In the list of wounded will be seen with regret the name of Major Sale, of his Majesty's 13th Light In fantry, an Officer whose gallantry has been most con spicuous on every occasion since our arrival is Rangoon. I am happy to say his wound, though severe, is not dangerous, and I trust his valuable services will not long remain unavailable. I have the honour, &c. ARC HD.

A French General, said to be of the name of Botta, has recently joined the Paclia, and obtained a chief command over his troops.

Thul tar the intelligence itt-the Greek Journal goe's. The Eioik French Paper states on the authority of letters from Trieste, to the 11th inst. that the Egypt an troops, which landed at Modon, had been vigorously re pulsed in attempts they made to take Navarino and Gastouni. The Egyptian squadrun, to the number ol 50 sail, were anchored in the port of Modon, and the Greeks were stationed opposite with 36 vessels, under the cannon of Navarino. Admiral Mtnuus 114 d sailer towards Mitylene, in order to employ the Captain Pacha in the Dardanelles. The Greek Government made an appeal to the people, any Usiity-six thousand men had immediately answered the call, so that no fears were entertained for the result of the inva inn. Hamburg!) Papers to the 20th inst. reached us this forenoon. Accounts from St. Petersburg of the 6th inst. state, that the Right Honourable Mr. STRAI FORD CANNING, the British Ambassador Extraordinat y, was about to leave that City the neat day. He had his final audience of the EMPEROR and EMPRESS Dowager on the 3d, on which day the baptism of the Grand Duchess MARIA took place. The sponsors were the EMPEROR, the Empress MARIA, the Kr.to and the Queen Dowager of Wirtemberg. The Jews in Warsaw have been subjected to new and petty vexations: by an Ordonnance dated the 31st of March.they are commanded to remove from some streets not mentioned in the preceding Ordonnances, by the Ist of May, this year, and to reside in the most remote part of the suburbs. This morning we received Brussels,Papett to the 23d inst. An article from Turin states, that the Empe or of Aurrata will proceed to Geneva, and that the con ferences at. Milan will have two objects—the general policy of Europe, and the interests of Italy in particu lar. A hope is also expressed that • "'he observations which Prince Mirriamen cannot fan to have made during his visit at Paris, will make hith more inclined to have some regard to the wishes of the Italians. Everything is in motion around them* and at a distance, Representative Governments exit is France and the Netherlands. Several German Princes have tho followed this example, by introducing a system to which Great Britain owes its prosperity." The Italian writer does not appear to know the Prince, whose narrow-minded distinctions at his diplomatic dinners in Paris, spew that he had learned nothing and forgotten nothing, in his visit to the French Capital. We have received RioclY;eiro and Bahia Papers, the former to the 4th of March, and the latter to the Bth of February. At Bahia the Military Commission had commenced its investigation into the assassination of the Governor, on the 25th of October ; when Jos. QUIM SATIfto DA CUNHA, convicted of being concerned in the facts which led to the Grim:, was executed.— He was convicted on the clearest evidence. All was tranquil, but complaints are made of the machinations of some persons who have come from other parts. • A guard o( 100 men, with officers, has been esta blished, to act as officers of police. They are strictly prohibited from arresting any citizen, except taken in flagraate delicta ; and the home of a citizen being, by the Constitution of the Empire, an inviolable asy lum, they cannot enter it without a written order from the competent authority, and in cases for which the law has provided. Orders were issued for taking a Census of the popu lation of Brazil—distinguishing the males from the females, and the slave from the free population. The British-Vice•Consul had given notice to the Bra. zilian Government, that an English brig has arrived in January, with 39 Angola nevoes on board, whom it took from the wreck of a ship, 180 leaves to the East of Rio de Janeiro, without any person who could give an account of the circumstances. The individuals implicated in the revolt of thePernarn bucans had been tried and some of them executed,whilst others expected a similar fate. Lord COCHRANS had forced the persons at Maranham. who had received contributions for the use of the Republicans, to refund Ahem, and was taking other measures to establish tran quillity in that Province. The KING will hold a Levee at Carlton House, on Wednesday next. The Earl of LIVERPOOL entertained a distinguished Party on Saturday, to celebrate his MAJWITT'S birth-day.

Their Lordships were occupied in bearing the case of Mr. Ser. leant Ronan versus General MURILAY, till half.past two o'clock when their Lordships adjourned. Early on Saturday - the parade in St. James's Park presented a very animated sight, by the appearance of the three Regiments of Foot Guards, accompanied by their respective hands in new State dresses of scarlet and gold, on the Mall. The Duke of Yoga arrived on the Parade, on horseback, about ten o'cloek. He was received with every mark of distinction suitable to kiss rank, lay several General Officers, Colonels, &e. After the Brigade bad gone through several evolutions with the utmost pre cision, they proceeded in mulbing order front St. James's Park to the King's Palace, followed by the spectators. An alteration has been made in the new clothing worn by the Officers in the Foot Guards: instead of the blue collar, as formerly, it is scarlet, the same as the coat; and in lieu of the black silk stock, a white mus , lid handkerchief appears to be substituted. Of the privates, in room of the epaulette on the shoulders, a cape is now made that completely covers the whole of them. The day was kept as a holiday at the Bank and Public Offices, and at one o'clock the Park and Tower guns were fired in honour of his Masesvy's Birth-day. The usual procession of the mail-coaches took place in the evening, and the fine condition of the horses, and gay appearance of the guards and drivers, together with the light troop of the twopenny post-boys, gave general satisfaction. The evening closed with the dinner parties and tastefully displayed illuminations of his Ma jesty's tradesmen in various parts of the town, who manifested in a convivial spirit their duty to the Kum ' and entertained their friends on a suitable stale. The merry peals of the church bells, and royal standards floating from their steeples, proclaimed the public loyalty upon the day appointed for celebrating the birth-day of his )hoses, rr~i~'. .:.~ IEII . a,, .. ~. , . . !PP TFr*l6‘ ...,.-. - , VV.!! ei . • LI • • • ••• . • • t t• • * i PORTSMOU-FII, APRIL 1 18. —wilsw•-- • .
