r••• moss - strength, he related to wripess the circumstances he had given in evidem; when peeked up, he was about three miles from the land. . The Counsel for the prisoner declined any further interference in a case of guilt so Ireintius and palpable, and the Court called on him for his defence. What he stated fully corroborated the evid-nce given, but he de nied any wilful intention of destroying the man he had thrown overboard, who, he expected, he said, would have easily made the shore. His Honour the Cuter Jessica charged the Jury, who imme diately returned a verdict of guilty. Another Jury was then empanelled, sod the other prisoner, Arvind,'tl, put on his trial ; and, on the same evidence, be was like wise found Guilty. The awful sentence of the law was then pronounced on the prisoners, in a most solemn and impressive manner—the Court enjoining them, as the first step towards obtaining that mercy in the next world, which the outraged laws of the country could not grant them in this, to make a full and ample confession of their flagrant crimes. From the period of their condemnation, these unhappy malefactors were visited by several Ministers of the Gospel ; but, we are sorry to learn, that their pious and laudable exertions to awaken them to a proper sense of their dreaded situation were unsuccessful, particularly with regard to Fletcher. Arrindell, we understand, shewed some contrition, and protested that he had never been concerned in any other similar crime than that for which he was to suffer, but the other criminal re mained obdurate and inflexible to the last, and could n't be prevailed upin to make any confession. About 12 o'clock on Saturday, the day appointed for their exe cution, they were conveyed from the jail, in a cart, to the bay at the foot of the Pond estate, where the gallows was erected. The pre parations for their execution were soon completed, and they were both launched into eternity, in the presence of an immense concourse of spectators. INI)1A. -.011,..--.. In the STAR of Monday we briefly noticed the deci sive successes obtained over the Burmese forces by Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL. We now lay before our Readers the details of those operations which have con duced so signally to establish, beyond all reach of danger, our permanent Empire in the East. Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, who appears to have carried on his projects with the greatest activity, had advanced to within two day's march of Prome ; but finding that the enemy bad collected in superior force at Donabew, and had taken up a strong position on the Irrawaddy river, he c!eemed it prudent to make a retro grade movement in support of Brigadier-General COTTON ; the free passage of that river being essential ' to the success of all his future proceedings. Aware of the extreme danger which awaited his army at Prome, should any important reverses happen at Donabew, he determined to repair thither himself ; he.arrived before it on the 26th of March. The place was immediately invested ; the garrison, with a strong detachment, made two several sorties; but they were bravely repulsed, and the greater part of them destroyed. On the '2d of April, a rocket, early in the day, was fatal to their General, the valiant BUNDOOLAI4. The Burmese held this Chieftain to be invincible; their superstition had always regarded him as the God of Battles. The die was now cast ; an appalling con sternation struck through the whole garrison, and they made their escape, to a man, under cover of the night, and with such precipitation, as to leave behind all their artillery, together with their magazines of every de scription. Sir ARCHIBALD having possessed himself of Donabew, prepared, with the utmost expedition to re turn to Prome ; all his army had re-crossed the Irra waddy on the 11th, at Surravah ; here he was joined by Brigadier-Generals M'CREAGR and ARMSTRONG, who commanded a reinforcement of the Royals, and some native troops from Rangoon. By the latest in formation received from this gallant Commander, it appears that the Burmese Chiefs, tc.gether with vast masses of the population, are anxiously tendering their submission, and two of his Burmese Majesty's Privy Councillors have notified their arrival at Prome, and their being deyuted by their master to enter, if per wilted, into air immediate negotiation for peace. Sir ARCHIBALD, in reply, intimated his consent to meet (hem on what he considered, on their part, so pru dent an errand. The preliminary meeting was expected to take place on the 23d April. The Burmese had beenyduring the preceding month, actively employed in sekading Prome. Sir ARCHIBALD has proposed to these heralds of peace that he should be allowed to take quiet possession. Should thij proposition be op posed, which is not likely, those who know the promp titude of decision which marks his character, know that he will not wait for a second refusal. The result of this war, which we hope may be con sidered as nearly terminated, Will probably be the ad dition of the kingdom ofArracan,which .at no veryremote period was seized on by the Burmese, to our possessions in Hindostan ; while, from the nature of its defences, it may be rendered an impenetrable barrier against the future excursions of that restless and warlike people. The foilowing is an extract from a letter from Rangoon, written at the latter end of March:— is We earect that the whole army, with the exception of a corps left to garrison Rangoon, will proceed to Prome, about two hundred miles; where they will concentrate and canton during the rainy season, which commences towards the end of May and lasts till the end of November. During this period the country, from being low and swampy, is generally under water, and mili eu, operations must be suspended until the cold season, when it Is believed the combined forces from Bengal and Madras, will ad vance upon Ummerapoora, the capital of the kingdom of Ave, distant about 500mfles from Rangoon. Ummerapoora may, per haps, be in our power by Christmas. " The army now in the kingdom of Ava, under the orders of' Brigadiers-General Sir A. Campbell and Cotton, consists of the Governor-General's Body Guard, one troop of European Horse Artillery, and a European Rocket Troop from Bengal, about 500 European Foot Artillery from Madras and Bengal, under Lieutenant-Colonels Hopkinson and Pollock, his Majesty's 13th, Seth, 41st, 45th, 47th, and 89th Regiments; Ist Madras Mao peen Regiment, and the 34, 7th, 9th, 12th, 18th, na, 26th, IlEtb, 30th, 34th, 38th, and 43d, Madras Native Infantry.— Of these, the 3d are at Martaban, the 7th at Mergui and Favoy, the 12th at Bassein on the Irrawaddy, and the 18th at Panlang.— The 9th, 34th, and a Provisional Bamlion of 1,000 men, under Major Ogilvie, remain to g arrison Rangoon, and all the other corps are either in advance, or going up immediately , _His Majesty's 45th Regiment and the 30th Madras Native Infan try, march Ma few days, as soon as the Commissariat can collect a sufficient number of carts to transport the arrack and provisions- Besides the force already named, Brigadier-Generals Morrison and - Milken have advanced upon Arracan with his Majesty's 44th and 94th Regiments, about 300 European Artillery, the 10th and 10th Regiments of Madras Native Infantry, and five Bengal Native Regiments. This force, after the capture of Arracan, will move upon Prome, and join Sir A. Campbell. Brigadier-General 31.1tellar has advanced to Chittagong with about 4,000 men; and Brigadier , Generals Shuldam, Donkin, and Richards, are pene trating by Sylhet and Rungpoor in the direction of the capital. " The Commissariat have been obliged to feed the whole army, cattle, &c. attached to it, with the provisions they require, by means of sea conveyance. Fora long time the troops were fed on eak mat; but the scurvy broke out amongst them so drearltais that the Medlda oacert declated, unit"' fresh proclaims Ind vegetables, with wine and beer. Could be procured, the European of the army would, in a few months more, be annihilated. In consequence of this, a contract was entered into at Calcutta, to supply the.army with beef, which will yield ail immense fortune to the Contractor. The average slaughter of bullocks is about twenty per day. Hay for the Cavalry horses, and grain for them and the draught cattle, as weU as rice for the Native army, ;re also sent by sea. ti The Madras Government have made gigantic efforts to bring the war to a close ; and two more native regiments, the lit and 23d, are now under orders for Rangoon, which will be more than one-third of the whole of the Native Infantry on the coast. His Majesty's 59th and 87th Regiments are also coming round from Calcutta. It is the opinion of the most experienced men here, that the season is now too far advanced to admit of anything being done before November next, except taking possession of Prome, on the Irrawaddy, which, from the strength of our army, we can do without much opposition. The thermometer is now at 98, and April, the hottest month, is still to come, before the rains." THE EVENIN6 STAR LONDON. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1821 STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Royal Waldeck United Mexican Ditto New Anglo Mexican Mint Bridal Iron Company - Rritbh Rock & Patent Salt London Window Glue Private letters from Rangoon to the end of March, have been published in a Morning Paper, the substance of which we have transferred to our columns of tl.is day. Those details, although in some measure super seded by more recent intelligence from the seat of war, will be read with considerable interest, as exhibiting a striking picture of the arduous contest which our gal lant army has to maintain on those remote and inhos pitable shores. We have, however, the pleasure of laying before our Readers more gratifying accounts of Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL'S progress down to the II th of April, from which it will be seen that Prome was then on the point of falling into his possession, and that the General of the Burmese, BUNDOOLAH, the hope and stay of their cause, had perished, and that Envoys from the-enemy bad arrived to treat for peace, which, if conceded, must, we presume, be dictated by our victorious Com mander. Donabew, and all its magazines of stores and military supplies, had previously been captured. On those cheering prospects of a speedy and glorious termi nation of this protracted struggle, we cannot but con gratulate the country. We had reason to fear exceedingly that the war could not have been terminated unless by aegociation,before the rainy season had set in, and suspended all military opera tions. And it was equally probable that the.near approach of such an event would have rendered the enemy indis posed to any compromise that would not have proved of decided advantage to his cause. It is clear that the leading principles of war are well understood by the barbarians, especially that most efficient rule of stopping the progress of an invading army, by laying waste the country, and cutting off all supplies a circumstance which has necessarily rendered the subsistence of our troops by navigation a most o:pen sive and precarious measure—and during the severity of the monsoon it would, perhaps, have been imprac ticable. Those less favourable views are now, how ever, we fervently trust, dissipated by the inspiring hopes excited in our present intelligence, and we doubt not that it will soon appear, from official accounts, that the indefatigable exertions of the East Indian Govern ment to supply the means of honourably terminating the contest, and the well-tried ability of our gallant Commanders in making those means most effectually available, have not been used in vain. The expense of the list campaign must have been enormous; but in Indian warfare, however, it may be sound policy to hesitate before we take the field : when once there, we have uo possible alternative but to per• sellere Until victory shall have troWned our etrorts.— This has been our invariable and indispensable rule of action, nor is it practicable to okaintain our Eastern Empire on any other principle. Retrcces•ion is certain defeat. This wise policy has been amply ju-tified in the present instance, %.hich we trust will be such a lesson to the other native Powers, as shall not e isily be for gotten, and duo secure our permanent tranquillity. We have received Caraccas Papers to the 25th of August. They state an interesting piece of intelli gence from Peru, which appears to hate been over. looked. It k a decree of the Congress, authorising Boirvaa to detach the armies under his command to whatever point he may think proper, and providing, that if any State calls in the assistance of the Liberating Ariny, all expenses shall be defra)ed by such State. This, the Car accas Papers say, must unquestionably refer to Buenos Ayres.—The Society established in London, called the Colombian Agricultural Associa tion, advertise in those papers that 3,000 shares were kept for the purpose of distribution in Colombia, and invites the natives to make immediate application for shares.—A hog cortesitondence between the Danish Governor of the Antilles and General Pan has taken place, respecting tire capture of a Danish vessel by a privateet called the Adolph°, and the consequent in sult offered to the Danish flag. The correspondence appear s to have been conducted with great moderation and propriety. General PA IS promises the most prompt redress if the grievance complained of be substantiated. The following was this morning posted at Lloyd's: " The Ellen, SiMrsox, sailed from Guayaquil on the 14th of March, with troops and Columbian stores, and was captured near Cape Blanco by a cutter privateer from Chiloe, and sent for the Gallapagos; but the crew of the Ellen. assisted by some of the privateer's crew, retook their o wn vessel, and captured the priva teer, and both arrived at Guayaquil on the 14th of April." This forenoon we received Harnburgh Papers to the l 7th instant, and Dutch Pap ers to the 12th instant. The following are extracts: ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 21. As several servants of the Church allow themselves to deviate in their dress from the ancient usages of ear Church, an Imperial Ukase of the I2th of this month, addressed to the Synod, orders regulations to be drawn up for the introduction of a becoming dress for the Clergy.

The Casette contains an official article relative to the claims of the late Royal Family, from which it appears, that the sum paid In li quidation of all claims whatsoever, amounted to 721,420 Hi-dollars, which, at the rate of exchange, 60 'chitlings, as it was at the time, made 577,155 dollars, Hamburgh Banco money. The Russian Ambassador, Count Sachtelen, returned the day before yesterday, having stopt only two days at Christiana. The smugglers in Scania having on several occasions proceeded to acts of extreme violence towards the Custom-house officers, the Board has applied to the Government for a reinforcement of the ' garrison of Helsingborg. Piedmontese Gaselier to the 4th instant have reached us. They contain extracts from the Corfu Gazette of the 27th of August and the loth September. In the former is a Decree of the Government, declaring Corfu a free port ; and the latter contains a Proclamation of the Loan Mon Commusunom, declaring that he has judged it expedient to continue Signor Cal,. Manta, Visa in the high office of President of the Senate, on ac count of the state of affairs in the Morea and other parts of Greece. His Excellency, though fally sensible of the merit of other distinguished individuals, has judged it most suitable to the general interest to continue at the head of the Executive Government a per son of so much experience, and who, by his moderation and practical wisdom, in the execution of his high office, has acquired the general esteem of his countrymen, the entire conAdence of the Loan Haan COMMUSIONIR, and the gracious approbation of his l'ilassiiv the So vereign Protector. This decision has given universal satisfaction here." Private letters from Trieste, of the 27th September, speak of the precarious situation of 1114MIIM Pacua, in the Mores, who, it is said, finds himself surrounded at Tripolizza, and is continually attacked by the Aloreotes. It is added, that the plague rages in his camp, and that his army is anxious to quit the Mores. The Egyptian Chief is stated to have dispatched a corps to open the communication with Coron, to embark on board some Turkish vessels in that port. The Diario of Rome, of the 4 211 t h September, states, on the authority of letters from Leghorn of the 20th, that Admiral Cattalo, who attempted to burn the Egyptian fleet at Aleiandria, had made numerous prices sailing from that port, with out being molested by the Turks, which has caused great terror to the Commanders of the Ottoman vessels. Private accounts from Madrid state, that the French Charge d'Affaires has advised the Kmo to form a new Junta of eighty Nobles from the different Provinces, to discuss the state of affairs. To this the Bons and his Ministers are said to make no objections, but the former opposed another project, which was to levy a tax of 90 million of real, on the Clergy.
