Calcutta Papers to the 21st :►larch furnish us with the following details of the military operations carried on by the army under the command of Sir Archibald Campbe:l, previ .usly to the ratification of the treaty of peace with the Burmese Monarch: On the 25th January, Sir Archibald Campbell moved from Mellon, the enemy flying before him, and no opportunity occurred for some days of giving them a further proof of British valour, except in the coming up of Captain Ts ant, and a few of the body guard, upon four hundred Burmese, whom they defeated and almost annihilated. On the 9th February, however, a mote splendid oc casion for displaying our superiority presented itself.— The reconnoitring party sent ont on that day to survey the road for next day's march, discovered the enemy posted in strength about eight miles in front, in such a position as to leave no doubt of his intention to dispute our lirogTe,s. They were under the command of a nephew of the late Bundoolah, who had promised to the King, that if he would give him 16,000 men, he would lead the English captives to the Golden Feet. Sir A. Campbell immediately determined to attack the enemy on the 10th, and with this view ordered Gen. Cotton to march at reven o'clock that evening, so as to join him next morning. A nine A.m. a few shots from the enemy intimated their vicinity, and they were soon seen in large bodies advancing o nlidtb flanks, and so compact as to lead our troops to anticipate a very close engagement. It was evident that they expected to overwhelm us by their vast superiority in numbers. At this moment Major Jackson arrived with orders to his Majesty's 13th to attack the enemy on the right, and the 38th on the kit of the road. The Burmese came on boldly at first, with savage yells, and a discl.arge of musketry, vainly imagining that the small number of the English would Ise unable so resist them. The illusion was soon dis pelled, for the moment that the order was given a charge In the most gallant style was made to the right and left, and a truly British cheer soon drove the Burmese off in every direction. The 38th, in pursuing, fell in with a stockade, which was carried in au instant ; the enemy were pursued to the jung!ra on the right,when the division wheeling to the left, charged them in the jungle in that direction, and joined the general body guard and horse artillery, and then advanced again towards Pagam-mew. -Near this the Burmese were found again posted, with the intention of retrieving their character ; they were again charged in double quick time, and again dispersed in the utmost confusion, pursued by our troops into their very works, leaving their standards, guns, and stores, in our possession. It is said the enemy lost 1,000 men. Our loss was very trifling. The troops were en gaged five hours, and the battle ended at three o'clock. Pagam mew is distant from Patanagoh 112 miles, and from Ummerapoora 153. The following is the General Order issued by Sir Archibald Campbell, after the storming of Pagam-mew : GENERAL ORDER. "PAGAbt.usw, FROM M, 9, 1826. NOVIDENCE has once more blessed with success the British arms in this country, and in the decisive de feat of the imposing forte, posted tinder, and within, the walls of Pagam-mew, the Major General recognises a fresh display of the military virtues which have charac terized the troops from the commencement of this wars Early cn this day, the enemy departing from the cautious system of defence, behind field works and entrenchments ) which forms their usual device of war, and relying wt their numerical superiority, and singular advantages of gro rod, ventured on a succession of bold manse ivies, on the flanks and fronts of the British columns. 'lois false tor.fidence has been rebuked by a reverse, severe, signal, and disastrous. Their troops, at either arm, were re pelled at every point, and their masses driven, in confu sion, within their city. The storm of Pagam mew which followed, exhibited the same features of. intrepi dity and self-devotion. The frequency of these acts of spirited soldiership on the part of his troops, renders it difficult for the Major-General to vary the terms of his Praise, but he offers to every officer and soldier engaged This day, the tribute of his thanks, at once, with the • affection of a Commander ) and the cordiality of a Comrades" The follnwing is an extract from the Calcutta Govern ment Gazelle, of the 16th March: CALCUTTA, niaCli 16. Theism mission to the British headquarters, from the Court of Ava, originated, it. is said, in the recommends.. tion of the High Pi iest,whose sacted characterhad given weight to the tepiesentations made by him to the IC ng, at the in•tigation of the Ministers. It appears that Dr. Pi ice was not honoured by a personal commun . cation with the King, such intercourse, limbs*, being con trary to Burman etiquette. He received his instt actions fiom the Low°, or Great Council, through t ne of the four IVongees, or Chief :Member s. of whom it consists. This Minister expressed the King's earnest desire to enter upon friendly ielati ns of the closest and most pet:sla t:eta natuie with the British Government, should peace be concluded. The war, it seems, has made a great attention in this respect in Burmese feeling, and the incivility experienced by Symes and Cos, in their public capacities, need not again be -apprehended. The capital of Ava will, in all prolcibility, be as accessible to Eu optAa. [IMAM AS that of a,►y civil zed nation. We fanderstand that the Burmese are - more reluctant to relinqui.h Arratan than any of the other Provinces, on account of Its being the land of their pr•"genitors. We are too 01 informed of the character of their historical authorities to know what weight this plea is entitled to, but we are well apprised that three centuries ago Arracan wss kilistinct and powerful. kingdom and that it remainfte independent until 1783, when it was subjugated )(y the armies of Mindwajre. We may, therefore, form our own estimate, of the value of this objection. We should have thought the Court of Ava would have readily waived its claim on this province, as the Arracan mountains present a defined boundary, which, if intervening between the British and Birman posses sions, will much diminish the chance of future collision. As to the power to pay the contributions exacted, which we were one disposed to question, it seems that little doubt on this bead need be entertained, although it has been the policy of the present, and of preceding Go. vernments, since Alompra, to attract as Much treasute as possible to the Royal Treasury, and to suffer as little as possible to come forth. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1826. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Consols which were, at the commencement of the market, at 79j, remained steady at the above price till within this hour, when they suddenly rose to 791 1 for the Account, and 791 j for money. This rise is attributed to the scarcity of Afuney Stock. In the Foreign market there has been a fluctuation in Mexican Bonds—a: the opening of the market they were done at 521, since which they have got up to 531 i.

Frankfort, German, and Dutch Papers to the 7th inst• have been received. It appears that nothing has oc curred to justify the suspicions of an explosion at Con stantinople. The day is not yet fixed for the Coronation at St. Petersburg. The following are extracts : FROM THE MAINE. Bmuii;s 5. We learn that the Viscount Repaid, Minister from Brazil to the Austrian Court, has arrived at Vienna. The Austrian Government has given notice to the City of Sale burg, that it is raised to the rant of a fortress of the first class, cud that the necessary sums are already assigned for the purpose of erecting the fortifications that will be required. .1 } FROM THE LOWER ELBE According to commercial reports from Odessa, of the 4th August, the importation of corn from the interior of the country b►gins to decrease, and the trade in that article was very slack; but it was expected that several foreign ships would soon arrive, which would give a little more animation to the market. Letters from that place say, that both the town and neighbourhood bad been visited by swarms of locusts, which had devoured every thing green in the gardens and fields in a few hours. Letters from Akermann, of the 10th August, say, that the Rus sian and Turkish Plenipotentiaries were then in that town ; the former had arrived on the 4tli August, the latter on the following day : that the Turkish Commissioners were received with all the tonours due to their rank, and that the magnificence of their oriental costume had attracted universal attention. On the 6th of August the first conference was held, on the 4th the second, and on the 9th the third. The Turkish Commissioners always go to the place of meeting in two coaches, dra*n by six horses, with two open car. riages for the interpreters, and with a great train of domestics. HAMBORGH, Sore. 5. Accounts from St. Petersburgh to the 234 August contain the following particulars: Our Journals contain an official letter from General Diebitsch, Chief of the Imperial Staff, to the military Governor of this Capi tal, dated Moscow, 16th of August, stating that their Imperial Ma jesties are in very good health, and that on the 14th and 16th of August the Emperor bad inspected the troops in and near the Capital, and expressed bis entire satisfaction with their good ap pearance. With respect to the day when the coronation of theft' Majesties will take place, nothing is yet determined, at at least nothing is positively known in this capital—After considering the Report of the Committee, charged with the investigation of the late conspiracy, the Emperor has dismissed Mr. Paul Kotoschin, Mem ber of the Governinent at Mosco*, with the resolution never to employ him again in the public %el vice. We hear that several per. sons have lately been arre,ted at Mastow. His Majesty the King of Prutsia arrived at Konipburgh on the Seth of Augusts HAGUE, Setressexe 7. We are Sorry td say that the disorder at Groningen has not dimi nished. Rot long ago there were s./ien hundred patienq in the Military Hospital, of Whom, howevet, only one had died. It is to be supposed that in the neighbouring plates which are in similar cir cumstances, the number of sick and of deaths will he less in pro portion. Thus we learn from Stetin, that the Magittrates had pin off the fair this year, 1 . on act iunt (says the notice) of the extra ordinary mortality now prevailing." CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST 10. The capital is tranquil. The oruatlizattnn of the new troops, and the other totforml, prod.-ed rapidly. The number of Musselinen aireany proVided with fire.irmt and bayonets, and sloshed in the new uniform, Is estimated at 8,000. By the order of t h e Sultan, they must exercise twice a week in his presence, ill the meadows , near Bajuk.dere, where the European Ambassadors have their summer residences: it Is said that they make good prligttu. The above numbers, of codrse, include Only the soldiers wbb are already tra;ned or training, that of the men enrolled is much greater. Notwithstanding this, great despondency prevails among the lower orders, and trade and business are at a stand. We have ne news from the Blorea, nor has the Porte published anything respecting the operations of the Captain Pacha against Samos. ' • 'MUNICH, AUGUST 51. A Bavarian Journal contains the news that the Bavarian Ge neral Board of Customs, on the proposal of the Commercial Di. rectors, and in conforthity with a Royal Rescript, have appointed 1 the folloWing Commercial agents for Bavaria : For Rio de Janeiro, Mr. J. H. Burik ; for Bahia, Mr. Peter Peyke ; for Mexico, Mr. Hermann Natte; and for Buenos Ayres, Mr. John Eschenburg. The Colombiano of irthe th Jul y has brought us a Decree of the Senate and Chamber of Representatives of the Co lombian Republic, the nature of which cannot fail to prove agree able to the financial world, as its object is the funding of the national debt of Colombia, both foreign and domestic, and the assigning funds and public revenues for the payment of its interest and the gradual extinction of its capital. Ilad this Measure been adopted in an effectual manner earlier. it would have saved many difficulties to the Itepublie, and many losses to her friends. As it is, however, it will in time repair most of the evils which it would have been far wiser to prevent. The Cblembiaso is nearly silent respectin g the recent events in Venezuela, and the exact objects of the Revo lutionists or rather Secedents, do not seem to be yet fully developed. The Fiend' Papers contain but little intelligence, There are some communications from Spain, but not of a later date than those already received, though they furnish some additional particulars. It would appear that FIRDINAND the timid was posi tively growing courageous; for having discovered that on his first arrival at St. Ildefonso, Mr. Cat.onaloa bad sent orders to the Madrid Akthorities not to grant any passports for that Royal resi dence, except to members of the Diplomatic Body, the officers of the Palace, or to individuals provided with a permission from the Km himself, his Catholic MAJESTY had immediately directed the measure to be revoked; and declared that he had had nti previous knowledge din adoptiob. BRIGHTON, SEPT. 10. The Marquis of Aberdeen and family took possession of the !Mine engaged for them some days silk*, on the ting's-road, last night: The Earl of Abergavenny and Mike will be with us in the course of the present week.—Lord Amiens, with his two children and family, from the Royal York Hotel, embarked in the Brockelbank steam packet, for Dieppe, this morning. The morning -musters at the German Spa, in wank, in elegance, _ _ in fashion and beauty, continue to increase: From one to two hun dred individuals drank of the renovating mineral waters between seven and eleven o'clock this morning. BROADSTAIRS, Suet. 9. Every house in this delightful place is taken, and the place is com pletely full of first-rate company. Our amusements are at the height of their splendour. The Ball last night, at Barnes.' elegant rooms, was most fashionably attended by upwards up 120 of the first families in the island. The Rooms were elegantly illuminated, and decorated with artificial fluwers. Dancing commenced, to Weippert's band, and was kept up with great spirit until past two o'clock, when the company separated. BOULOGNE-SUMIER, SEPT. 10. We have had a terrific gale here during the last four days, and the intercourse with England was, for two days, completely interrupted. The last arrival was the Medusa; her appearance was hailed with intense anxiety, as the sea was running dreadfully high when she entered the harbour: she escaped as if by miracle. Yesterday the Rapid steam-boat ventured to put to sea for London; for nearly half an hour she was in imminent danger of going to pieces on the bar at the entrance of the harbour, but she, too, escaped : and this day the Royal George has sailed, with about 100 passengers and Tour carriages, for Dover. These vessels have triumphantly vindicated the koperiority of steam-power over every other mode of water conveyance. Boulogne is as fall and as gay as ever. Scarcely a lodging is to be bad except at an exorbitant price. There was lately a kind of gaol delivery of English debtors, perhaps from a conviction of the uselessness of keeping the parties confined any longer ; but the places of the emancipated votaries of dissipation have been already filled. Improvident as these persons have been, it is impossible not to feel for their present condition.— They are cooped up in a small unhealthy place, abound ing with filth of every description ; and the female deb tors,of which there are nct a few, are in the same room. It is really surprising that men should venture into debt in a place where the punishment is so dreadful. The very worst prison in England is a palace compared with the Hotel d'Angleterre, as it is satirically called at Boulogne: —A Messenger from the Paris Greek Committee sailed today, with letters from some of the leading friends of the Greek cause. He taken with him, also, several copies of the statement of receipts and expenditure of the Paris Greek Committee, by which it appears that the receipts, up to December, 1825, were 239,6491. 68 cents. The total expenditure during those periods, for cannon, clothing, mus kets, &c. &c. including all the expeditions sent out by the Paris Committee, was 339,294 f. 32c. leaving a balance in the hands of the Committee of 385,701 f. 96c. from which, however, I understand, ono fourth must be deducted for credits newly opened. The sad result of the preparations made for the pliant Admiral in England has thrown a general damp over the French admirers of the Greek cause. The Duke of Yoax took a drive yesterday afternoon in his cabriolet, from the residence of the Duke of RUTLAND, in Arlington-street. His Royal Highness transacted business in the morning with Sir HIRIZILT TAYLOR, Colonel STRIOI4IXI3N, &c. &c. The usual medical attendants of the Royal Duke paid their dailyvisit. An Italian Messenger, bringing despatches from Sir FlLlClsaicx ADAM, Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, arrived this day at the Colonial Office, Downing street. Mr. Secretary CANNING is about to leave London on a visit to his friend Lord Gtamvu.r.*: he is etpected to be absent about a month. The new Minister from the United States, Mr. GA. LIMN, bad an interview yesterday afternoon with Mr. Secretary Omani:oil, at his Office in Downing-street, which Lasted upwards of an hour. The Spanish Minister had also a long conference yester day afternoon with Mr. CANNINO at the Foreign Office. The Wur eernberg Minister transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. - . The Right Hon. WILLIAM Houctssow transacted business yesterday with Mr. Secretary Calm/40, at his Office in Downing-street.

Despatches were received at the Foreign Office yes terday from the Right Hon. Fasucarca LAM, our Ambassador at Madrid, and from Lord Gruutvu.i.s, our Ambassador at Paris, to Mr. Secretary CANNING. Mr. Sheriff elect, FAREBROTRER, had an interview with Mr. Secretary Camara on Saturday last at the:Foreign Office. The Secretary to Lord CHARLES SOMERSET trans acted business yesterday with Mr: Ilar, Under Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, at the Colonial Office.

At an early hour yesterday morning, S amford the country residence of N. M. Rothschild, Esq. was in a great state of bustle, and most of its inhabitants mere on the qui viva, waiting the approaching hour whe n Hymen was to tie the knot of a son and daughter of a house of Judea, whose wealthv parents have pro. vided them with a Princely dowry. The company, which was very select, consisting only of the relations and la- Drily. began to assemble at an early hour. Previous to the marriage ceremony, which took place about two o'clock, the 14igh Priest, the Rev. I)" Herschal, had arrived iu one of Mr. Roth,child's car riages, attended by his Secretary and lte.der of the Synagogue. The High Palest was entirely clad in new silk robes, and had a most reverend appearance. Oa his entering the grand saloon, the signal was given for the sew and splendid canopy of crimson-velvet and gold to be brought forward, under which the solemn ceremony took place. When finished, a suite of elegant aad splendid rooms were thrown open, and the whole of the company sat down to a most sumptuous (Jejune ; after which dancing commenced, assisted by a b.,nd of , of the first order. The bride was most elegantly dresced in white satin, with the riche* Brussels lace, and a great profusion of mends. Mott bf the other Lsdies also wore u hite wi:h plumes of feathers and diamonds. About six o'cl , .ct, the bride and bridegroom left their friends, and set of in a cariiage and four to tile country, where they sy;11 remain for a tew days. The dancing finished about eight o'clock, when the whole of the company sat d(1 , 4 to a most splendid dinner, consisting of all the dainties of the season; alter which, dancing again commenced, and was kept up until an early hour this morning. Only thre* or f•ur strangers, intimate friends of Mr. Roths child, were present: ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

Mr. T. P. Cooke, the original performer of the ch.; ratter, has been so long the hero of, and so colipt only identified with all that is marvellous, mystiaid, or terri ble, that it is not a little difficult to surmount a preju dice which time has strongly confirmed. Of Mr. BEN. saris delineation of this character, however, we must say, that if in appearance he is inferior to his prede cessor, he amply compensates for it in mental concep tion and superior declamation: His whole performdnee displayed considerable talent, and was received with high favour and deserved approbation. Crtarruitx . played M'Swi ll very humouronsly ; his song, f , 911 . to the wedding," was encored. Miss Gotta ItD personaud the character of Ile, and gave the music of the part with her usual abitiiy ; and Miss CARR, THORNE, BARTLEY, and Mrs. Tasmaia, did ample justice to their respective characters. The house was completely filled with elegant company. Prince AIETTEHNICH dined with the Baron A. di: Rovuscrucu ' i at Frankfort on the Bth instant. There were aho present, the Russian Ambassador, the whole of the Diplomatists of the German Diet, Barons BIT suet and J. F.

MA NCH MIER, Seam 9.—The Market since Tuesday last has presented nothing new as to demand or prices ; but at may be coi.sidered fully as healthy as it was then. The general feeling is, that a greater quantity of busi ness has been done throughout the week than for several weeks past, and; upon the whole, tile prospect of a fur ther improvement in demand and prises seems to be very confidently expected. We with peculiar pleasure announce the information received from a gentleman just returned from Burnley, that all the mills in that place have again commenced work, and nearly for full time. We sir.cerely hope this happy change will be permanent.— Wakffleld Journal. Sunday afternoon, the family of Mr. Brown, Master Intendant of Woolwich Dock-yard, was thrown into the utmost constnnation, in consequence of information being received, that Mr. Brown, jun. with two friends, bad met with a watery grave. It appears that M , . Brown, jun. accompanied by Mr. Cranch, feathet• met chant, of Finsbury-square, and another friend, had hired a boat for the purpose of proceeding up the river ; but had not sailed tar, before the boat, owing to their unskilful management, suddenly upset, and precipitated them into the water. The tide running very strong at the time, and they not being expert swimmers, before assistance could reach -them, t e 3, had sunk to rise no more. The body of Mr. Crancb was afterwards found, and every means were taken to restore animation, but without effect. The bodies of the other unfortunate suf ferers have not yet been found.
