the - the eastern side of the island of Cheduba, with the transport Anna Robertson in company, on the night o the 12th of last month, and found the other tianspor t and his Majesty's ship the Slaney, already there.- I immediately conferred with Captain Mitchell, and on the 13th, Lieutenant Matthews of that ship made a bold and very intelligent reconnoissance up the small river on which the enemy's town is situated, and in our en tire ignorance of the localities, his report was of essen tial use to me in arranging the disembarkation. The ships lay three miles from the shore outside of a mud flat which stretches parallel with the land, and is nearly dry at low water, and the coast on this side is covered with jung!e to the edge; indeed, the mouth of the river is not distinguishable at a very little distance. We moved towards it on the morning of the 14th with as many men as the boats would hold-200 of his Majesty's 13th Light Infantry Regiment, and 100 of the 20th Native Infantry. On the southern bank, at a short distance up, was an outpost, which was immediately taken possession of by a small patty from the leading boat, the Burmese re tiring from it without resistance. The river varies in breadtb from about 4.0 to 100 yards, the jungle on both sides extending far into the water. About half a mile, farther up the ground is cleared and cultivated, and the enemy became visible lining a trench of 300 yards extent, on the edge of the northern bank, with their right flanked by a bridge over the rivers. They per mitted our boats to range along until the headmost ar rived opposite their right, and then opened a fire of mtaNttry and swivels, accompanied by a flight of ar rows. The bank was steep and somewhat difficult, but two or three parties of the 13th were soon on its sum mit in spite of the enemy's efforts, who opposed them with considerable boldness; a tew minutes firing fol. Jowed, while the remaining boats landed their men, and they fled, leaving - upwards of twenty killed, and many wounded. Their village or town commences near the spot at which we had 'landed, and I imme diately moved up the street in pursuit; on arriving at the end of it (about a quarter of a mile), we found a stockade, into which they had retired, and from which they opened a fire as soon as we appeared. It was a square of about 200 yards each face, the outward piles from 16 to 20 feet high, and an embankment and a parapet within them, salient gateways, in each face, and a triple row of railing round the entire exterior; ap peared to be in good order, and the fire was from seve ral six pounders, as well as swivels of various calibre, and musketry. I immediately lodged parties at such points close to the work, as afforded tolerable cover; ordered the howitzer and two or three ship guns ashore, together with the remainder of the sepoys ; and meantime marked off a battery within 100 yards of their front gateway. The weather now became exceedingly unfavourable, but as all gave their most hearty and zealous endeavours to the execution of what was pointed out to them"our want of proper materials, implements, and workmen was surmounted. Repeated feints upon the enemy's left sufficed to turn his attention from our working par ties on his right, and during , the night of the 16th, two nine-pounders and a carrona'de, on ship-cartiages, were placed on the battery, the hut that masked it pulled down, and it opened in the morning. Its fire was soon decisive on the gateway, which having been their last thoroughfare, was not so strongly embanked as the others. Having prepared some seamen with axes and ropes. to accompany the column, I ordered it forward: it moved rapidly to its point, headed by Major Thorn hill's Company of his Majesty's 13th ; a few moments sufficed to complete the destruction of the wounded spars, and we were speedily in the stockade, followed by the reserve, under Lieutenant-Colonel Hampton of the 20,11 Native Infantry. The Burmese Chief in com mand was killed near the point of attack : they aban doned their interior defences (a trench and breastwork), and fled through their rear gate, leaving a great num ber killed, ConsiJering that throughout these little operations our investment was very close, and the enemy's fire kept up without any intermission, 1 am happy to say that our loss has been singularly small. Where all evinced not only ready obedience but the utmost zeal, it would be difficult to remark upon indi vidual claims to notice, but my thanks are due to Lieut.- Colonel Hampton, commanding the detachment of the %Rh Native Infantry, and to Brevet-Major Thornhill, of his Majesty's 13th, for die manner in which they and their officers and men fulfilled their duties; the latter officer was wounded by a spear while leading his men into the stockade. lam also much indebted to Lieut. ,Matins, of the 13th, (Brigade-Major) for the active and valuable assistance he afforded me throughout. I must do myself the pleasure to acknowledge the cordial co-operation that I received from Capt.Mirchell, of his Majesty's ship Slaney, who accompanied me at the disembarkation, and to whose readiness in affording me every assistance his ship could supply, the service was importantly indebted ; and the exertions of his seamen, under the immeJiate command of Lieutenant Matthews, in getting the guns landed acd assisting in the battery, contributed essentially to accelerate the result. On the 19th, one of our reconnoitring parties, under Captain Aiken, of his Majesty's 13th, succeeded in cap. turing tire Rajah, who was concealed with some of his followers in the jungle, a few miles in the interior. It aopears that of 600 Burmese, who about a month pre vim to an attack were sent over to assist in the defence of the island, little more than 300 survived the contest unhurt; and the Chedubans, whom they had mustered to assist in the defence of the stockade, have also suf fered considerably. The surviving Burmese passed over to the main land. Having made such arrangements regarding the islend as circumstances admitted, 1 re-embarked the European part of my force in conformity with your orders, and sailed with the ships Ernaad and Anna Robertson on the 3d of the present month, leaving Lieutenant-Colonel Hampton with his detachment of the 20th Native In fantry, and his Majesty's ship Blaney, in possession, and on the most friendly understanding with the inhabitants. On the Gth we lost sight of the islands ; on the 9th we made Negrais, with the intention of visiting and report ing to you the situation of the detachment you had ordered there ; but the weather becoming so threatening as to render it unadvisable to risk ships in such a situa tion, I stood on for this place, and anchored off the bar of the river this day. I enclose returns of our killed and wounded, and am happy to add that most of the latter are doing well.— I have, acc. (Signed) M. MTBEAGH, Brig.-Gen.

The following is an extract of a letter, dated AlAdras , July SO: " As soon as the rains are over, and the Bengal troops collected at Chittagong, it is said that the whole force, about 20,000 men,' under Sir Edward Paget, will move on the Burmese capital, Um merapoora. The troops at Rangoon, who are at least 10,000 strong., are to cooperate by sailing up the Irrawaddy River. We have four brigades of Madras troops at Rangoon wider Brigadier-Gen. W. fill'Bean, Commanding the 54th Regiment ; the 41st and 89th, King's; our Ist European regiment; the 7th, 9th, loth, 12th, 16th, 18th, 43d,-and 34th Light Infantry native regiments, together with a large detachment of artillery and pioneers. You will see the of ficial accounts of what has been going on in that quarter of late but nothing decisive has yet taken place , owin g to the continued rains. The enemy have had a lesson they cannot soon forget at the several attacks at their stockades, wbcre they have uniformly gaffes ed severely. They appear to be a brave race of people, and were they disciplined in a more complete manner, would give us some hard work. As it is, we must expect a few more broken heads before the war is over. It would seem that the Burmese have hitherto been totally ignorant of the Briti'h power; for his' golden-footed ' Majesty, on receiving the accounts of the fall of Rangoon, actually sent orders to his several Commanders to fight the English sword to sword, teeth to teeth, and to drive them into the sea.

Dispatches were this morning received at the Colo nial Office, Downing-street, from Malta, dated the 21st of October, but they contain no news of importance. This day, at two o'clock his MAJESTY held a Privy Council at Carlton Palace, in order to receive the RE CORDER'S Report of the Convicts who received sentence of death at the last October Sessions, at the Old galley. The Coubcil was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Right Honourable Mr. Secretary CANNING, the Judges, and a great number of other members.— The Judges attended with their decision on the legal objections in the case of Mr. FAONTLEROY. By the General Palmer, whose arrival in the Downs we announced yesterday, advices from Madras, to the Ist of August, have been received. This vessel has made a ternatkahly quick passage both out and home, having performed the passage to Madras and back in eight months and three days. The drought which has been tnentioned as prevailing in this place, ' still continued; there had been no rain for many months, and serious apprehensions of a famine were entertained ; Accounts had reached Madras from Calcutta up to the 19th of July. In the extracts from the Papers from that Presidency, which we have given in our pre ceding columns, will be found the official accountof an attack on a stockade at Kimmendine, by the troops under Sir A. CAMPBELL, and also a report from the Officer in command at the taking of Cheduba, which proves to have been a more arduous affair than was at first stated. Great efforts were making at Madras to send reinforcements to the army acting against the Burmese. One brigade, under Col. FAIR, had sailed for Chittagong. and several of the nativ e regiments at Madras were under orders to be prepared to march at a moment's notice, They were encamped about nine miles from Madras, near the Artillery can tonments. The 54th and 69th Regiments were under similar orders. In the meantime, the campaign was to open on the northern frontier, with a force (as estimated) of 20,000 men, under the orders of the Commander-in- Chief. The declared object of ,tie northern army was to march by Chittagong, upon the Burmese capital, de pending on the co-operation of the force collected at Rangoon. The combined expeditions were to include a body of 50,000 men, a force which it was supposed would soon put an end to the war. e Let tell treys Lisbon, of the 14th ;natant st ate, 'that rn. Ambiasador, Sir WILLIAM A'Couat, has com menced his diplomatic duties, by strenuously everting himself to bring about st speedy determination with re spect to the Brazils. This is a negotiation of some difficulty for although the Portuguese may not enter tain a very sanguine hope of reducing the Brazils to subjection, yet they view the loss of so valuable an :le , pendage to the throne of Portugal with regret. Some hope is, no doubt, entertained that the Emperor of Ba*zu., however circumstances may now compel him to act, must secretly wish to prevent its separation from the mother country ; but even were this the case, we doubt how far he has the power ; indeed, any attempt on his part would most probably terminate in the ascendancy of the republican party of Brazil. No further information had been received-from Rio Janeiro, than what has already appeared here; but the know ledge of the fact, of the President of the United States having recognised the independence of Brazil, which had just reached Lisbon, had persuaded many persons there that the recognition by Portugal would speedily follow. Others, however, who pretend to be better ac quainted with the feelings of the Portuguese Govern ment, think that the recognition will be evaded as long as possible. There does not, however, appear to be any attempt to fit out an expedition against Brazil in any pan of Portugal. The French Papers of Sunday and Monday have been received. The Moniteur of the focsner date, contains a Royal Otdonvonce for assembling the two Chambers, which are to meet on the 422 d of December. No busine,s will, however, be entered on until after Christmas, beyond the Members taking their seats, mod perhaps t!:e appointment of the several Bureaux. The intelligence from Constantinople in these Papers contains fresh evidence as to the decline of the Turkish power. thie of the latest acts of the Porte indicates the financial extremities to which the SULTAN is re duced. He will no longer pay the expense of victualling the garrison of Parris. Whether this be regarded as an abandonment of the Morea, on account of the hopeless ness of its subjugation, or as an act of absolute neces sity, from the exha.istion of the Imperial Treasury, it equally reveals the fact of his conscious weakness. Not a vessel now sail; on the Levant under the Cres cent, while the Greek squadrons are everywhere. There seems to be no doubt that the Capitan Pacha has been put to death. On the Continent, General RANGOS, acting on the offen,ive, had penetrated as far as Mount Chimera, and summoned Arta to surrender. He announced, in an address to the Turkish inhabitants, that OMER VRIONIC was blockaded in Carvassara, by Prince MAURECORDATO. The following are extracts : FROM THE MONITEUR OF SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21.

The 2d Swiss Regiment, which is now here, - has re ceived, by telegraph, orders to enter Spain : it will leave US the day after to•mort ow, and, with the Ist Swiss Re giment, which is now at Madrid, will form the garrison of that capital. As soon as the 2d Swiss Regiment has arrived at Burgos, which will be on the 29th and 30th of this month. the French garrison will commence its march to return to France. Cadiz and the other places tetaining the number of troops that have been assigned them, the number of French who will leave the Penin sula is estimated at 14,000 men. There is, therefore, now no doubt of the return of a part of the French army. The United States , packet ship Florida, bas arrived at Liverpool, with letters and papers up to the Ist inst. The papers contain a confirmation of BOLIVAR'S skir mish with CANTERAC, and one of the letters mention a report of his having died of his wounds, which, how ever, is not credited. Letters from Philadelphia of the 31st ult. state, that the exchange had fallen two per cent. owing to the great number of bills which had been negociated for the new States in South America. The Princess SOPHIA visited the Duchess of GLotr- CCM,' yesterday. The Royal Duchesis health continues in the same state of progressive improvement as on the preceding day. THE DUKE OF YORK'S LEVEE.—Yesterday the Duke of YOIL/C, as Commander in Chief, held a Levee at his Office in the Horse Guards, at Eve o'clock, which was attended by Mr. Secre tary Put., Lord Csmactitt.t., and about twenty others. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Justice PARK, after the breaking up of the meeting of the twelve Judges upon the case of Mr. Fatnizz.raor, waited upon Mr. Secretary PILL, at the Office of the Home Department. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER arrived in town yesterday afternoon, from Yorkshire. Yesterday the LORD MAYOR transacted business at the Secretary of State's Office for the Home Department. Among the new Estliabshments recently formed in the Metropolis, there appears to us a very useful one, entitled the Medical, Clerical, and Genetal Life Assurance Soziety. Its object is to extend the advantages of Life Ahsur.oice to such individuals as are not admitted at other Offices, on account of their bad state of health, or hazardous occupations. The premium is, of course, as in all eases of hazard, proportionate to the risk. THE ARMY. . • • MILITARY PROMOTIONS.

" The tide this morning was immensely high, and half the place overflowed; never before was anything equal to it, and great will be the damage arid loss. Shipwrights yards swept clean; never before has a storm caused so much desolation in this place. It now blows heavily, and a most threatening sky." The Cornelia, Simms, from Bahia to Amsterdam, is on shore at the back of Ramsgate Pier, with four feet water in her hold. The Hope, Nicot., for Maracaibo, was totally lost near that place, 29th August. The Kelso, RAMSZT, of and for Sunderland, was abandoned off the Yorkshire Coast the 18th inst.

TIIE WEA I'llEß. At nine o'clock, yesterday morning, the gable-end of a house in the Maze, Tooley-street, No. 6, gay:: way, and in its descent broke in the window-casements of the first floor of the house opposite, and fell with a dreadful crash into the street happily, at the instant, no person was passing. About the same time fell the stacks of chimnies of three houses, 6,7, 8, in William's-place, Walworth. At No. 6, the roof and back rooms were wholly demolished, from one of which two infant children had but the moment' before been taken from bed. Between nine and ten o'clock the stack of chimneys belonging to Mr. Warren's house, in Bedford-square, was blown down, and broke the roof of the house, and many of the tiles and mortar were forced into the bed-room, but no person re. ceived any injury. Abo'it 11 o'clock an immense stack of chim neys, belonging to Salvador-house, in Bishopsgate-street, fell with a tremendous crash, which forced in the roof of the house, hut we are happy to say, the terrified inmates escaped without sustaining any injury. Most of the bricks and rubbish fell into the fore-court of Mr. De Tutett's premises. The front of one of the modern-built houses also, near the Albany-road, Camberwell, was completely blown in yesterday morning: althotigh inhabited, no one was hurt. A stack of chimneys was blown down at the west end of the Lon don Hospital, Mile-end road, which broke through the roof, and did much damage ; fortunately, none of the inmates were hurt, but the alarm among the invalids may be better conceived than de scribed. A large window, placed in the south side of St. Mary Abchurch, Lombard-street, was, by a sudden gust of wind, blown entirely out, with a tremendous crash. The upper part of the front wall of a house, two stories high, at the corner of Hoxton-square, Horton-town, Which was occupied by a person of the name of Wright, an oilman, fell into the street with a dreadful crash, leav ing the roof, which was supported from the side walls, as well as he under part of the house, completely undisturbed. Three timber carriages, heavily laden with part cf the cargo of the Columbus, Canadian ship, passed the Royal Ef change yesterday, just at the close of the 'Change, and attractcd great attention. DINNER TO THE DUKE OP MONTROSIL—Thursday. a dinner was given in the Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh, by the Royal Company of Archers, the King's Body Guard, to his Grace the Duke of Mowntosx on his appointment to be their Cap tain- General. About six o'clock, one hundred and twenty of the Meth bers of the Company, the Noble Captain-General, and several other distinguished guests, sat down to dinner the Honourable General Duey in the Chair, who had been called to it in conse quence of the unexpected absence of the Earl of ELGIN. A great many loyal and patriotic toasts were given in the course of the evening. His Grace left the room about ten o'clock, and the Com pany separated at half-past eleven. Tuesday last, Lieut. GOLDSMITH, of the IsltatatE cutter, on the preventive Service, partook of a dinnertgiven by the Gentlemen of Penzance and its neighbourhood, at Pearce's Hotel, in consequence of the replacing of the celebrated Logan Stone in its original position, On the same day, the crew of the cutter par took of a plentiful dinner, given them by their Commander, to cele brate this event. After partaking of the substantial fare provided for the occasion, and which was served to the seamen un3er an awning, on the deck of the vessel, in Peuzance-pier, they were re galed with an abundant supply of punch.
