TH - E HOAX; OR, TEST OF FASHION: A WM-INDIAN INCIDENT. IN Kingston, the pride of Jamaica's fair Lie, Where Fortune is prone on her vot'ries to smile, A Hoax was tried lately, a bet to decide, (The parties agreed by such proof to abide), Which one of the arts in the island supplied, Was most to fine Taste and high Fashion allied?

The Dealer on battle inclining to border, " Behold," one and all then exclained, " Sir, year Order'!" While " Hence with your evils net goods," he cried out, And scatter'd each portable item about. " You too," to the mutes, " with your damnable faces, Made up still as wanted, in Sorrow's grimaces, The farce I to tragedy quickly shall turn, if here in my mansion you longer sojourn!" The conflux at last deemed it prudent to scamper, *One man only left, with a well-furnished hamper; " Ah ! ibis," said the Dealer, the contents unpacking, " Is welcome unasked for !"—'twas Wriaaan's Jar lizAcari AU doubt thus resoled, in the empire of Taste, That WA Ramis fine Jer, so resplendent and chaste, Is just in renown, it still reigns as the test Uf Fashion, the bleeds throughout of the West- This Easy Shining and Brilliant BLACKING Prepared by ge)7) l ,;ezm :0, STRAND, London ; And sold in every Town in the Kingdom. • LIQUID in Bottles, tid. 10d. 124. end led. each.

Wilson went to Africa, and claimed an asylum for the proscribed Spaniards, The Emperor of Morocco and Governor of Tangiers promised it, and the Governor said to Sir R. Wilson, This asylum is the right of the unfortunate ; they are under the protection of the law by the will of the Pro phet. Our religion adopts all the wretched, and readers them a sacred deposit." On his return to Gibraltar, Sir R. Wilson sent hundred stand of arms, ammunition,&c. to the Emperor, as a memorial of the estimation in which his country men would hold this act of generous hospitality. The Emperor and Governor sent letters to Sir R. Wilson, renewing their pledge of protection. Since that epoch various attempts have been made to induce the Moorish Government to violate its promise, and deliver up the Spanish refugees - in its territory. The pub!ication of the following letter, just received by the Court of Spain, will do just honour to Moorish inviolable fidelity. Some Spaniards having take• refuge, from the pro "zecution of their Government, at Tangiers, they were reclaimed by the same; the following is the answer given by the Emperor of Morocco: " Goo Is great.—We see by your report that the sew Spanish ,'Consul is come; be is welcome : tell him net to come to us s• long a journey. ." . You have done well not to give up the Spaniards; they ban takes refuge under our flag, and must be protected. We cannot for a moment entertain the thought of delivering up these persons. who have come to our dominions. placing trust and confidence in a Monarch just and beneficent, who respects the precepts of Gun, given through his Prophet. " If the King of Spain considers these men to be traitors, be cause they wish for that which GOD orders—which is all good,—be it so : other Kings there are, and friends, also,of the king of Spain, who think otherwise, and who would have wished them to have taken refuge in their dominions, where they would have found safety and protection. " If the King of Spain considers them as offenders against his laws his Majesty should suspend their punishment till be be finish seated on his Throne, and when the' time comes, we will understand directly with the King of Spain who may thus ask for them ; for it is the duty of Sovereigns to respect and attend to each other's wither. " The Emperor of Morocco 'Sultan in the original] is a lover of clemency, and is not a stranger to the principles of justice, and there fore he cannot, without offending Goo, by breaking the commands of his Prophet, accede to the wishes of his friend the King of Spain." RILMARK.—The Bashaw in reading this letter ex plained that the Emperor's meaning was, that the sub ject should be made one of especial negotiation; bat that nothing should induced': Emperor to gise up the refugees, except under a written pardon from the King of Spain. • The exakasisma of dm miss miler thranech4Badmigl*. at eight o'clock yesterday morning, bras the signal for the storm • when the columns, Composed o f B r i ga die r General M 4 Cotribt's Brigade on the right, and Briga dier General Edward's Brigade on the left, advanced with the greatest order, , gallantry, and . steadiness, and, notwithstanding a d termined opposition on the pat t of the enemy, carried t re bteaches. In the ,curse I.f two hours, though vigoro sly and bravely defended at every gate-way and bastion, the whole rampart surrounding the town, together with the command of the gates of the citadel, were in our possession; Major General' Nicolls having moved his column to - the left, until he met a detachment of his Majesty's 14th Foot, com manded by Major Everard, at the Kombheer Gate. The citadel was surrendered at about four o'clock. I regret to state, that the mine, having exploded in an un apected direction, several men of his Majesty's 14th Foot, at the head of the column of attack, lost their lives; and Brigadier General *Comb?, Brigadier Patton, and Captain Irvine, Major of Brigade of Engi neers, received severe contosions. Having directed Brigadier General Weigh, com manding the Cavalry, to prevent the escape of the enemy's troops after the assault,l am happy to say that he made such a disposition of his forces, that he suc ceeded in securing Doorjun Sall, who, with his wife, two sons, and a hundred and sixty chosen horse, at tempted to force a . passage through the eighth light Cavalry. I cannot compute the loss of the enemy at less than four thousand killed, and, owing to the disposition of the cavalry, hardly a man, bearing arms,.escaped ; con sequently, as by the surrender of the town, all the stores, arms, and ammunition, are in our possession, I may say, that the whole military power of the Bhurtpore State has been annihilated. The prisoners, after having been disarmed, were set free. I have the pleasure to acquaint your Lordship, that. the conduct of every one engaged was marked by a degree of zeal which calls for my unqualified appro bation ; but I •must particulaily remark the behaviour of his Majesty's 14th Regiment, commanded by Major Everard, and the 69th, commanded by Major Fuller; these corps having led the columns of assault, by their steadiness and determination, decided the events of the day. Two companies of the Ist European Regiment, leading a small column under Lieutenant-Colenel Wil son, co-operating with Major General Nicolls's attack, behaved with equal gallantry. The 6th Regiment of Native Infantry, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Pepper, one wing of the 41st, by Major Hunter, the 23d, by Lieutenant Colonel Nation, the 31st by Lieutenant Colonel Baddeley, the 60th by Lieutenant Colonel Bowyer, the Grenadier Company of the 35th, and Light Company of the 37th, which corps followed the Euro peans in the assault, proved themselves worthy of the distinguished 'places they held, as did the Sirmoor Bat talions which covered the advance. I beg to acquaint your Lordship, that since I as sumed the command of this army, I have received the most effectual support and assistance from Major Ge. nerals Reynell and Nicolls. The excellent dispositions made by them far the attack, as well as the manner in which they conducted it, entitle them to my warmest thanks, and I therefore beg most strongly to recom mend them to your Lordship's notice. Brigadier Mac Leod, C.B. Commanding the Artillery, Brigadiers Hetzler and Brown, as well as every Officer' and private of the Artillery, performed their arduous and fatiguing duties throughout the siege in the most exemplary manner, and will, I trust, meet with your Lordship's approbation. Brigadier Anbury, C.B. and the Engineer Officers, as also the Native Officers and privates of that valuable corps, the Sappers and Miners, and the Pioneer Corps, performed the harassing duties allotted to them with a cheerfulness, courage ' and teal, which demand my ac knowledgments, and I beg to recommend them to your Lordship accordingly.. The result of our operations proves the rfficien;y of the Brigadier's plans. The services rendered by Brigadier General Sleigh, C.B. commanding the Cavalry, during the whole siege, have been most important, and I beg to recommend him, as well as Brigadiers Childers and Murray, C.B. to your Lordship's notice ; and I cannot pass over, in silence, the general, good, and active, conduct of the Cavalry, and the spirited manner in which they volun teered their services when I conceived (before the ar rival of the first European Regiment) that it might have been expedient to employ them in the storm. I must also bring under your Lordship's particular notice, Lien. tenant Colonel Skinner, and the two Regiments of Native regular Cavalry under his command, who have performed every service that has been required of them, in a manner which merits my entire approbation. To Brigadier Generals Adams, C.B. Mac Combe, and Edwards, Brigadiers Whitehead, Patton, C.B. and Fagan, my acknowkdg :mots are due for the manner in which they have so ably conducted the duties assigned to them, and I therefore recommend diens to your Lordship's favourable notice. I received every assistance from Major General Sir Samford Whittinghans, and Lieutenant Colonel Mac Gregor, Quarter Master General and Acting Adjutant General of the King's Tomes. The eminent and zealous serv:ces of Lieutenant - CW(l'nel Watson, and Lieutenant Colonel Stevenson, Adjutant General and Quarter Master General of the Army, demand my warmest thanks, and I beg particularly to bring them under your Lordship's notice, as also the Officers of their respective Departments. The arrangemen‘ made by Lieut.-Colonel Conliffe, Commissary General for the supply of the Army, were most efficient and I base much pleasure iu recomm e ndin g hi m t o y our Lordshi p. I also request to bring to your Lordship's notice, Lieut.-Col. the N.I. Lieut.-Col. Wilson, commanding a detachment, Majors Hunter.4lst N.I Everard, 14th; Fult E r, H.M. 59th, and Bishnpp, of H.M. 14th, were placed, gave them opportunities for distinguishing themselves, of which they took every advantage. Captain Irvine, Major of Brigade of Engineers, also brought himself under my particular observation during the course of the siege. Major-Generals Rrynell and Nicol's, and .Briptlier.General Sleigh, have expressed their entire satisfaction with the assistance they received from the Officers of their General and Personal Staff. The returns of killed and wounded have not yet been received, but I am happy to be able to state, that they are few, considering the service on which the Troops have been employed. I, however, transmit a return of the Officers who have been reported. I regret that tie service his lost three valuable Otficers in Captain Arm strong, his Waskstes llads. Captain Pitman, his Ma jesty's 59th, .aridraptain Brown, of the 31st Regiment Native Infantry, who fell leading their men on the ramparts. Brigadier General Edwards, who was wounded, gallantly leading his Brigade, is also, I fear, past recovery. I have 'sent this dispatch by my Aid-de-Camp, Capt. Dawkins, who will also take two of the enemy% standards, of which I request your Lordship's acceptance, and, in referring to Captain Dawkins for any further information which your Lordship may require, I beg to recommend him to your protection. I have the honour to be, my Lord, Tour Lordship's most obedient humble Servant, . (Slimed) COM BERSIERK, List of 011icers Killed and Wounded in the Assault of Bhurtpore, on the 18th of January, 1826.

Dispatches have been received from Brigadier Smelt, by the Hon. Company's steam-vessel Enterprise, which left Rangoon on the 13th instant, containing the fol lowing highly-important intelligence; It appears, that the sloop of war, Charapi•tn, sailed the 94.1 inst. for Calcutta, with Captain Snodgrass on board, bearing dispatches, which announce, that Major General Sir A. Campbell reached Pataanagoh, on the 27th ult. and that negotiations were opened by the Bur mese Chiefs, on the 90th ult. A Treaty of Peace was agreed to, according to the terms dictated by the Sri. tish Commissioners, and signed on the 3d lust. The principal articles are stated to be, the Cession of Assam and its dependencies ; of the four districts of Arracan; and the provinces en the coast of Tenasserim, viz. Ye, Tavoy, and Mergui, to the Honourable Company.— Munnipore to be given to Rajah Gusnbheer Sing, and one crore of rupees to be paid. Stipulations also have been made, for the security of the Pegners, who may have joined or assisted us daring the war. It was sti pulated that the treaty should be ratified by the King of Ave, and returned to the . Commissioners at Maloun, with all the European prisoners in Ava, and an instal ment of three lacks of rupees on or before the 18.11 inst. It was expected that Colonel Tidy would reach Ran goon with the ratified treaty about the 24th inst. and bis Majesty's ship Alligator was under orders for bring ing on the dispatches. Brigadier Smelt reports, also, that Colonel Pepper's column marched from Taegu, on the 28i ult. and arrived at Shoeegem en the 3d inst. which place he found eva cuated, and bad succeeded in getting back the inhabi tants with their families. On the 7th inst. he detached Lieutenant Colonel Conry, with the 3d Madras N. I. to take possession of Zittoun, where a small force of the enemy was said to be stationed. They proved, how ever, to be very numerous, and strongly stockaded, and after a most gallant attempt to carry the work by esca lade, the detachment was obliged to-retire with loss : Lieutenant Colonel Canty and Lieutenant Adams being killed, and two Officers wounded, with twelve Sipahees killed, and 21 wounded. Colonel Pepper. was expected to arrive at Z.ttoon on the following day, and recommence the attack with his whole fence, unless he should, in the mean time, receive the orders, inform ing him of the conclusion of the Treaty of Peace at 1 1 . tanagoh, and directing his return to Pegu. The country round Shoergem is represented as being most beau tiful and fertile, and the population considerable: The Sitang River is said to be navigable for boats to Tongho, all the year round. Letters from Dantzi: to the 19th inst. received yes. terday, state that the prices of wheat had advanced about 34 4 .' per qr. but the markets were then extremely dull, which was owing to large demands frum England having been anticipated, which had not arrived when the advices left that City. The holders of corn wee in daily expectation that large orders to purchase wg.uld soon be received, in consequence of the altegation chick had taken place in our Corn Laws.
