We hasten to transmit to you' Honourable Commit tee, by the Minerva, on the very eve of departure, copies of di patches° received this morning from Major Gene ral Sir Archibald Campbell, announcing the I'm,' gra tifying intelligence of the deed of the Bur man armies, on the Ist, 2d, and sth instant, and to offer our congra tulations on tke splendid achievements of the British troops. • Extract of a Letter from the Governor General in Cenneil at Fort William, in Bengal, to the Secret Conunittee of the Court of Dl rectors of the East India Company, dated the 20th January W: With sentiments of the liveliest satisfaction, we have now the honour to announce to your Honourable Com mittee the arrival of the steam vessel Enterprize from Rangoon, with the important intelligence that the pre liminaries of peace with the Goverament of Ava were signed, by Commissioners on both sides, at Patnagoh, on the 3d list. and that the treaty ratified by the King of Ava was to be delivered to the British Commissioners in fifteen days. Captain Snodgrass, Military Secretary to Major Ge neral Sir Archibald Campbell, had sailed from Ran goon on the 9th instant, with the dispatches announcing the signature of the preliminary treaty,. and may be irspected to arrive in a few days. The ratified treaty hot being expected to reach Rangoon until the 24th instant, Brigadier Smelt, commanding at Rangoon, determined not to deta;n the Enterprizt., as the time :Admitted of her conveying to us intelligence of what had occurred, and returning to Rangoon for the expected, treaty. We propose, accordingly, to dispatch her to Rangoon this day. The accompanying copies of dispatches fiom Briga dier Smelt to Mr. Swinton will aff ird your Honourable Committee all the information welt:toe received by the E..terpriz and we beg leave to offer our cordial con gratulations on the recent success of the British arms in Ava. Copy of a Letter from Brigadier Smelt to George Swinton, Esq. Secretary to the Bengal Government, dated &engem, Jan. 13, 1826. Sin—l have the honour to forward to you a copy of two letters, dated the 4th and 6th January, 1826, from Lieutenant-Colni.el Pepper, commanding a detachment in the Pegue district, deta:ling a gratifying account of his operations in that quarter. Private accounts have reached me, which I have no reason to (touter, that an attack on the strong post e/ &toting, whicir was supposed to have been evacuated, with a party detached by Colonel Pepper, of the 3cl regiment L. I. under Li:Artenant-Colonel Conroy, did not succeed, with the loss of two Officers and ten men killed, two Officers and sixteen men wounded. 1 regret to say, that Lieutenant-Colonel Conroy, a most able and intelligent Officer, was killed, also Lieutenant Adams; Lien t. Harvey wounded severely, Lieut. Power slightly. I am in exp- oration that Colonel Pepper, with a leilitorcerrent and guns, still have taken Setoung before he receives Sir A. Campbell's recall to Pegue, in consequence of the treaty of peace having been agreed to. W. SMELT, Lieutenant-Colonel, Commanding Lower Provinces. Extract of a Letter from Lieutenant-Colonel Pepper to Brigadier Smelt, commanding in the Lower Provinces, dated Camp, at Shotegeen, 4th January, 1826. have the h :nour to report to you that this place fell into my hands yesterday, without oppo ition; indeed 1 found it completely deserted. Our preparations were all made for storming it, and it was not till reaching its base that 1 had the least idea of its being aban. cloned, as our route was oppo-ed in several instances by parties in the jungles, who fired on our advance. It. was plicicularly fortunate, that by taking the route of Meckeoo, instead of the high road, I W 45 enabled, by scolding forward the 33 light intantry, to secure tire whole of the boats at that place, and drawing off 300 of the enemy to relieve the inhabitants, otherwise I should have found it most difficult, if not impossible, to have succeeded. The resources of this province I have not been able to ascertain, but nothing indicates them to be great. — There is little or no rice here, nor do I yet observe a angle bandy, or any nuii,ber of cattle. Some of the people are returning, and I expect the whole will do so in a few clays. Our march fur the most part was through bad roads, particularly the nearer we ap-I this, but the troops are in good health and eicellent quarters. Extract of a Letter from Lieutenant-Color:lel Pepper to Brigadier Smelt, commanding in the Lower Provinces, dated Camp, lhoesgeen, 6th January, 1826. Since my letter to you of the 4th, 1 have the honour to acquaint you that a communication has reached me from the Officer I left in command of the detachment at Meckeoo, stating that his post was attacked, on the morning of the 4th instant, by a party of the enemy, to the amount of four or five hundred men, from Setoung ; that he was fortunate enough to beat them off, and with little injury to his own men, one only being wounded in the groin. The various calls I have for the services of my men, leas forced on me the neces sity of directing the party I lett at Pegue to join me, and to escort the provisions, ammunition, kc. in store there to this place; but as there is little doubt of the fall of Setoung, Pegue requiring but a very small detail, a Native Officer's party I considered as sufficient, and therefore directed Captain Kitson to leave one, as well as the sick and convalescent men, and a native dresser' to attend them.

They all relate to the war against the Burmese, and would have lost much of their interest by the peace. even had they not in general been anticipated by pre , vious arrivals. Such of them as are at all important, or new, will be found in a preceding column. The latest of these dispatches is of the 20th of January, but as the intelligence of the ratification of the Treaty was not ex pected at Bengal until the 24th of that month, it was not known whether that event h td taken place or net. The terms of this Treaty do not appear to have been correctly stated in the previous accounts. They are as follow : " The cession of Assam and other states in that quarter; the four provinces of Arracan, the provinces on the coast of Tenaserim, Ya, Tavoy, and blergue. bioneypoor to be given to Gurnheet Sing, and one crore of rupees to be paid. The treaty is to be rati fied by the King of Ava, and returned to the Commissioners at 11Ieloun, with the European prisoners who may be at urnmera poora, and three lace of rupees, on or before the 16th inst. Some minor clauses regarding the good treatment of the Peguers, who may have joined or as4isted the British during the war." Thus honourably has terminated this arduous war ; and so completely were the Burmese subdued, that the terms of the treaty were dictated by the British Commissioners. Jamaica Papers to the 10th of April have reached us, but they do not contain any news. One of them states, that two spies, who were employed in distributing pi oclamations in Cuba, had been apprehended. It appears by the following intelligence from Jamaica, which was this forenoon received at the North and South Ames ican Ccsee•house, that the Spaniards are going to make an effort to regain a footing in South America ; but although the Cuba expedition may renew the war for a short time, nothing can prevent the ultimate independence of the American Continent. COMMERCIAL Room, KINGSTON. Aran 9. By the arrivals from St. Jago de Cuba accounts have been re. ceived that the Spanish fleet, which recently arrived at that Port, coosisting of a line of battle ship, five frigates, three corvettes, and a schooner, had taken on board their provisions and water, and it was reported were about to embark troops, so as to be in rea. diness to sail the moment the expected reinforcements should ap pear off St. Jago: these are said to consist of three line of battle ships with several frigates, and three thousand troops, under the command of General Morales. Reports state that the destination of the expedition would be against Santa Martha and Maricaibo. The fleet at present at St. Jag* is well manned, and the troops are all well clothed and in a high state of discipline. The French Papers of Thursday have reached us.— One of them contains a letter from the Director of the Central Committee for the Haytian Loan, which an nounces that President Boxer bad given up one year of his salary (40,000 gourdes) towards discharging the National Debt lately contracted with France. " Pecu aimy sacrifices," said that patriotic Magistrate, " are but trifles, when every good Haytian should I oil always ready t• persist, if necessary, in the defence of his liberty, and of the independence of his country." This is cer tainly a generous act, but it is also one of policy; for the Haytians were highly dissatisfied with the treaty which pledged them to pay sO large a sum for a merely nominal recognition, and the author of that treaty stood in need of something to support or restore his popularity. The French Papers contain fresh statement: lion) Corfu, that a large portion of the hero:•s of Missolonghi had succeeded in cutting their way through the enemy and effecting their escape t ► the mounta.ns. Other acc(,unts say that they had repaired to Atilens to defend that city against their late Conqueror, who was preparing to turn his arms against " the eye of Greece." The Atertrian iThserver asseits, that on the very day that Missoloughi fell, IBRAHIM PACHA had offered to the besieged lion urable terms of capitulation, which were unhesitatingly rejected. Accounts from Rouen state that order had been completely restored ; and the Missionaries now continue their piuus labours without molestation or disturbance. DEATH OF CAPTAIN MAXWELL. We regret to announce the melancholy death of Captain Max well, of the AURORA frigate, off t'lymouth, on Thursday evening, at six o'clock. The AtraosA had just got under weigh, and making nil for the Watst Indies, when Capt. John Maxwell, in foil health and spirits, while on the quarter deck giving an order to his first Lieutenant, was seized with a fit, and initantly expired. Thus was cut off, in the prime of life, an Officer beloved by all under his com mand, and respected by a numerous circle of friends, who wiU long lament their loss. ifor Calcutta, with Captain Snodgrass on board, with dispatches to announce that .Sir A. Campbell and the army reached Patnagoh, on the 47th ultimo, and that negociations were opened with the Burmese Authorities on the 30th, and that a treaty of peace was agreed to between them and the Civil Commissioners, (by the latter of whom it was-dictated), and signed on the 3d January, 1826. The outline of the treaty is as follows: " The cession of Assam and other States in that quarter; the four provinces of Arracan, the provinces on the coast of Tenaserim, viz. Ya, Tavoy, and Mergue. Moneypoor to he given to Gumbeer Sing, and one crore of rupees to be paid. The treaty is to be ratified by the King of AVA, and returned to the COM mis,ieners at Meloun, with the European prisoners who may be at Ummeiapoora, and three lac: of rupees, on or before t're 18th instant. Some minor clauses regarding the good treatment of the PVuers, who may have joined or assisted the British duns% the war." THE EVENING STAR. CAMBRIDGE, JUNI 2. The inconsistent statements made by some of the Candidates of their strength, and the various arguments so perseveringly used to frighten, persuade, and even supplicate Mr. Goulburn to retire from the present con test, are estremely amusing to us residents, who are, erhaps, a little more in the secret, and know something of the real state of things. To us it is palpable that such effusions are sure marks of weakness and dismay; and knowing, as we do, the tela•ive strength of the several contending patties, then private histories, moral and political, with the determ;nation of many of the, best friends of Alma Mater to exercise on the present 1 occ tsion a consistent as well as virtuous judgment, we are glad to learn that the Secretary for Iceland has declared his intention to persevere to the utmost; and that believing is would be deserting his duty to the i Protestant cause if he now retired, he has again de- , clined tl:e representation of Dublin, so honourably •ffered to him by the united voices of all pasties in that city. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. AIIINCIDON.—T. Duffield, P.sq. of Marcham House, near Abing don, has resigned any farther contest for the present election fur the Borough of Abingdon. Busensr.—Mr. Wells having been Invited by the boasted " friends of freedom" of this Borough to stand a candidate, has returned a very cutting answer, in which he begs leave to inform them that it has long been his decided opinion g electors require reformation much more than the elected; and that the Borough of Begun confirms that opinion. Balsrot..—The follosiing Gentlemen have all been named as candidates in the Blue interests.—Mr. Wallace, Lord G. Somerset, Mr. W. Peel, Mr. J. S. Harford, Mr. W. Miles, and Mr. John Cave. In the Whig interest, if Mr. Bright should retire, it Is thought that the choice will be from among the following Gentle men :—Mr. Protheroe, Mr. C. Pinney, Colonel Baillie, and Mr. Hobbouse. We understand that Private letters have been received from Mir. Davis, in which he repeats his determination to with draw.—Bristol Mirror. BURY.—The Earl of Euston and Lord Hervey are expected to be the new Members for Bury. Carusoros —Mr. Mackinnon and Mr. Dundas are opposed to Mr. Baring and Mr. Artwood. Cansatooestriar.—lt is generally expected that Lord F. 0. Osborne and Lord C. S. Manners will be again returned to Parlia ment for this County. Cunnings TOWN.—The Marquis Graham and Colonel Trench will, it is said, be returned for the Town at the ensuing election. CAINSILID4C UNIVIRSITIr.-1 he election of Representatives for this University excites very general attention throughout the king dom. The circumstance of three of the Candidates (Lord Palmer. ston, Sir John Copley, and Mr. Goulburn), being Members of the Administration, and the other Candidate (Mr. Bankes) being equally zealous in support of his Majesty's Government, readers the contest somewhat peculiar; whilst the just pretensions of each individual to the honour which he solicits, makes the result ex tremely doubtful. The respective Committees are unceasing in their exertions, and there will probably be a more numerous assemblage of the sons of Alma Mater than on any former occasion. It is generally understood that the election will take place on Tuesday, Wednes day, and Thursday, the 13th, 14th, and 15th inst.—Ca►xb. arms. Ciirreastrax.—The representation of this Borough is now warmly contested by three rival candidates—Mr. Grown, the present Member, Mr. Maitland, and Mr. Frederick Gye; the latter of whom has attained the pinnacle of popularity, by a measure which is highly creditable to his head and heart—that of relieving the distressed manufacturets, by offering to give employment to every hand, and entering into an agreement for that purpose with Mr. Taylor. . _ . Demncit.—.A severe contest is expected to take' place for the' representation of this Borough in Parliament, but Mr. Myddieton Biddulph is 'spitted to be returned. Doves.—The approaching election creatts much format and bustle. We have four candidates in the field; and, from the weight of the respective parties, it appears clear they will stand the poll. A very severe contest fur the second seat may be looked for be tween Butterworth, Mr. I'oulett Thompson, and Mr. Halcomb, and the respective parties seem very sanguine and vet y zealous. Essen.—C. C. Western, Esq. and Sir Mitts Harvey, lEnt. the much respected members for this Comity have each addressed the freeholders. There is no probability of any other candidates stArte ing ; they will walk over the course. GRAMMA Mr. Edward Cust, brother to Lord Brownlow, has again offered himself for Grantham. Ginuceinsasatae.—No place in is county appears likely to be contested. Mr. Phillpots has declined an invitation to stand for ward fur the city. It has been rutuoured that Captain Berkeley will offer himself. Him.—Mr. N. Calvert. M.P. for Hertford, has announced his intention of offering himself as a candidate for the representation of the county. On Wednesday afternoon a very large party of the supporters of Mr. Duncotnbe met in the Pleugh.Faeld, and paraded the town with Mr. Duncombe. leswicit.—Of the pretensions of Mr. Mackinnon, the first and l principal is, that he is a strenuous supporter of our Constitution In Church and State—of his talents, integrity * and inedence, a suffi cient proof is given io his having obtained nearly 700 votes for *e important situation of au East India Director. and in the certainty of his succeeding on a future vacancy. Of Mr. Dundas we have learnt ' that he is a man of family and fortune, and a nephew of Lord Melville, the First Lori of the Admiralty, and that he Is a firm supporter of the principles which have secured to England her political greatness.—lpswich Journal. LZICISTIII—The interest of Mr. Brans goes en well. Lenatuisrea—Yesterday Sir John Lubbock left St. James's place for Leo:Winter, to canvass the electors. Luicoto—J. N. Fazakerley, Esq. formerly member, has de clared himself a candidate, but his Committee Lave not so muck as canvassed the freemen.—lt is said several freemen have waited upon Colonel Sibtkorp, and he has declared himself as a candidate. A Mr. Corbett, of Blatant, near Brigs, Lincolnshire, has been solicited : he is on the Whig principle, and a house of rendezvous is engaged (the Monson's Arms): it is supposed by some that he has a fair chance, but probably, as Colonel Sibthorp has offered, he may decline. Livaaroot, June I.—This day the friends of Mr. Huskisson met, agreeably to advertisement; John Gladstone, Waq. M.P. was called to the Chair. The Right Hon.Williant Huskisson was proposed ter be returned as a Member in the ensuing Parliament for this Borough, when a series of resolutions was proposed and carried, and the thanks of the Meeting to J. Gladstone, Esq. were mowd and car ried, for his conduct in the chair. Sr. ALll7ll.—The town of St. Albans Was on Thursday after. noon all bustle, occasioned by the announcement that Mr. Alderm .n Beygate had relinquished his pretensions as a candidate for that • tiorough.

He was received with great approbation and applause by the Freemen of Woodstock, who reside in this City, all of whom expressed great conhtlence of his success. Mr. DP William entertained a large party of Woodstock Freemen, in London. on Tuesday last; and we understand dined at Woodstock on Thursday, with his sup porters. The progress in his canvass gives him confident hopes of success.--fhford Journet. :CESTERSHIRE.—There is a rumour of a new candidate for this county ; and circumstances have been mentioned which give some plausibility to the report ; we have not, however, been able to trace it to any authentic source. Woacasrea.—As the day of election approaches, the interest with which the event is anticipated in this city becomes more ii, tense, and all parties seem prepared to enter upon the contest will, irit, and carry it on with vigour. The friends of the several can didates appear equally confident of success. Colonel Davies has been here for several days, paying his respects to his friends. Lord Deerhurst and Mr. Robinson are expected to arrive in a few days. The present number of Freemen is repnrred to be as follows : Resi dent, 1,500; London, upwards of 500; other Nun-residents, 700. Total, 2,500. — Worcester Journal.

IktELAN D. In Ireland the bustle of preparation is beginning to he felt.— Numerous contests are threatened, and eight or ten at least will certainly take place. Galway county and town, Kilkenny county and town, and Lei trim county, will be warmly contested. During the last few days Dungarvan has been much disturbed by electioneering politics. It is generally understood that the Devonshire interest in the County of Waterford gives plumper. to Mr. Power. It is unexpectedly, but confidently, said that the County Tip. perary will be contested. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. PARTIES.
