Vied of Rangoon is in the occupation of the Talains, as veil as the districts of Syriam and Mlle. What the termination of this contest will be, it is almost impoisible to say. As for as arms, discipline, and courage are concerned, both parties seem to be nearly upon an equality, that is to say, they are both as deficient in all three as can well be imagined. The members of tbe mission returning from Ava, and our countrymen re: siding at Rangoon, were eye-witnesses of several of the actions or skirmishes which were fought, and were utterly surprised at the imbecility and pusillanimity of both Burmans and Talains. The incapacity of the Burmans to put down this insurrection affords incon- 1 testable evidence of the feebleness to which its power has been reduced by the late war. The news of the insurrection had reached Ava by the middle of Decem ber ; and yet down to the end of January no reinforce ment, or none at least of any moment, had arrived at Rangoon, although, if troops had been available at the eapital, they might have been sent by dispatch in less than ten days.

We received this morning the Algemeiee Zeileeg to the 24th inst. It contains intelligence from Alexandria, brought by way of Leghorn. to the 29th of May, but it throws no light on the policy of the PACHA, and has net the most distant &Basket° the report we mentioned yesterday. Indeed a portion of this intelligence seems to throw discredit on the rumour, as it exhibits the PACISA in a hostile attitude towards one of the Powers, to whose conjoint demands be is reportectto have so promptly yielded. If there be any truth in the state= meat, that he has broken off all connexion with the Porte, we do not know how to reconcile such proceeding with the capture of two rich vessels, belonging to one member or the Alliance. One of the ships, the Jean Bart, bad arrived from Marseilles, richly freighted for the Egyptian market, and was plundered (we copy the expression of the Ger man Editors) upon its arrival. Another French ship, which came from Tunis, shared the same fate; and, as the PACHA was probably present at the time, and as the energy of Isis administration is proverbial, we can only suppose that these repeated acts of violence were com mitted solely in consequence of orders emanating from himself; In fact, there is nothing in the whole account to justify the supposition that they,were the effect of popular violence; and it is only strange that the cause of this daring outrage is not mentioned. In the meantime, we think it highly incredible that the PAM% has taken up the quarrel of the DRY of Al giers, and adopted so decisive and (if his Highness will permit us to say) scovery ticklish a course, to prove to his Confederate that he does not fight his battle with empty words. But as there is nothing chivalrous in the character of the Viasaor, we must give up this expla nation, and seek in the affair o the Jew contractor, we mentioned some time since, a clue to the transaction. The PACHA, who has a claim to the amount of several millions of frank, on the J:w, solicited in vain the in get vention of the French Government, to get it liqui dated ; and it is therefore possible that, in revenge, he seized the two French vestels in question. Whatever maybe his motive for acting in this violent manner, it is clear that the act itself invalidates the rumour of his having thrown off his allegiance to the Porte ; and we ;oppose it is one of those speculations, which rest upon no certain authority, hut are merely hazarded on ac• count of their probability. It appears frons the Algemeine Zeitung, that another Ptenclkvsuel, laden with oil, was found dismasted of Matta, and having only two de-ad bodie whether these Acts were pcsiduced by moo, or of the dements, is not amid. the same soorce, that as taglish • tabich arrived at Leghorn on t} days &om Stny'rna, was port by two Greek boat:, Captain was stripped of every thing, with the excep• tion of the shirt he had on at the time, and a pair of breeches. Though our indignation at this savage act of inhumanity is such as it ought to be, yet our sur prise is much greater that it should have taken place so near a port where we should suppose there woold be always found a sufficiently effective force to proton the extensive trade which is carried on between'it and this country. It would appear from the following article, that the French have no great cause to boast of the manner in which they blockade Algiers, and that it will be long before they become a formidable Power at sea : " LEGHORN. JULY 11. " The Sardinian ship Fortuna has arrived here in 14 days from Algiers. The Captain was not hindered in coming out : he saw a ship of the line ;nd two frigates cruising at a great distance. The Algerine frigate, and with it 5 corsairs, had sailed out without any hindrance." We also received this morning Frankfort Papers to the 24th, but their contents are destitute of interest, with the exception of an article under the bead of Vienna, 17th July, which furnishes a new illustration of the mole-eyed policy of that Cabinet. Under the pretence of preventing an undue increase of stu dents, the Aulic Committee of Studies has given public notice, that the young men, who pass from the principal school into the first grammatical class must undergo a strict previous examination, to alcertain whether they possess the capacity requi site for a learned education. The absurdity of this regulation is equal to its tyrannical tendency, as every one moo be aware, who knows how slow the de velopment of the mental faculties is in some persons. But it is of a piece with the general spirit and practice of the Austrian Government; and, if that Government, in its rage against popular educatran, does not dis gust the great body of its subjects, and excite in them ' a love of knowledge, proportioned to its efforts to repress it, we can only say that there is nothing certain in human experience, and that history a a mere tissue of tables. In trying to avoid evils, which may be imaginary after all, it is clearly preparing for itself a host of real calamities, which will probably surprise it, when it is least prepared to meet them. Calcutta Papers were received this morning at the North and South American Coffee-house. The fol lowing is from the Johx Bull of the 20th February : " By the Bombay Merchant, which arrived on the 22d, Mr. Crawfurd and most'of the Gentlemen attached, to his mission to Ave, have returned to the Presidency. We have received several communications of much in- serest, which we hope shortly telly before our Readers.' The accounts brought by the Bombay Merchant from the New Settlement of Amherst extend to the 9th of this month, and from Rangoon to the end of July. The cantonments have been nearly completed; and on the 26th and 27th of January, the 45th Regiment crossed the river and occupied the barracks. The re port of Rangoon being in possession of the Taliens proves to be premature; but the whole of Lower Peso is in a state of insurrection and anarchy. MAONONAT, of Syrians, has assumed the title of King, and mounted the White Umbrella—the standard of Royalty. Letters to the9th of March, from Calcutta, state that Mr. CAMPULL had returned to Calcutta from his mis sion to Ava, accompanied by Mr. Goonosa, who was one of three Europeans supposed to have been astir dered by the Burmese at the beginning of the war. It is stated in these letters that Rangoon has been taken from the Burmese by a Native Power. We have received a file of Mexican Papers, contain ing the PRICSIDUNT'II Message on the closing of the ordi nary Session of the Congress, on the 21st of May.— Happily that new and rising State is tranquil at home, and at peace with all the world, with the single excep tion of Spain, who cannot, however, molest her; there fore the Message, though long, presents few topics of general interest.• These few we shall insert, as they present themselves; and those which relate to the rela tions between this country and the Republic, will be perused with a satisfaction, no doubt equivalent to the high esteem in which the British people and Govern- ment are held in that quarter of the world. Atter some general observations, the President OVADALOOPK UCCUORIA says "The relations which have for some Huse elisted between the Government of his Btitannic Majesty and that of the Republic, have been strengthened in the. period which has elapsed of the cur rent year. Our Charge d'Affaires in that kingdom personally con veyed the treaty of friendship, navigation, and commerce, happily concluded by the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary of the Republic. This treaty, which was signed at London on the 26th of last December. was duly approved by the Chambers, and being ratified by the Government, Is DOW sent back for the ex change of the ratifications. The people will bless you for having brought to a close this interesting negotiation, which must have so important an isdluence on the advancement of our credit throughout the civilised world. We are promised a Minister Plenfpotentlary on the return of the treaty ; and the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Mexican Republic, opportunely appointed, will enjoy that highly honourable rank in the capital of the nation which possesses so muck inilluenCe over the destinies of Europe. Meanwhile the Bri tish Secretary of Legation continues here authorised as Charge d'Affaires, and the Mexican Government has conferred the same 'character DR its agent in London.' • The PRESIDENT next alludes to the state of the rela tions of the Republic with Fiance. The agent of the Republic had been admitted by the Government of his Most Christian Majesty, but various important points ,were to be settled by the Mesicau Envoy Estraordi will be concluded 4 soon as possible. In reference to Pero, it is said.— —_. • " The dediratlPMoll.

The administration of +situ has been changed. and manding to Me mow recent accounts As has been effected in sooformity with tbe *stew sod tile wishes of Pun." Mexico is described as happily united by conformity of interests with all the other American States. Tae President is of opinion that there is no longer any pro bability of Spain renewing her desperate attempts against America. The credit of Mexico with foreign natians maintains a superiority over the new Re publics., It is stated to be proved by the Report of the Minister of Pittance, which was presented to the Cgam. bers at the commencement of the Session, that the 50. istctised drive to if:r. .emain to dinner.

EneLlia THEATRE AT PAIIIL--...The Manager, U. Lawman*, has obtained permission of the French Go. vernment to use the Theatre Favant alternately with the Italian Comedians. The delay which has arisen since M. LAURENT received permission, has been caused by the permission being given at first for the Theatre Chantererne; but it was soon ascertained that it was impossible to adapt this place to the obj-ct of represent ing the best English tragedies in a proper manner. It became, therefore, necessary to obtain some other theatre. The company will be worthy of the excellent place assigned them, M. LAURZNT having entered into an agreement with the most distinguished performers of London, who will come over to Paris, in succession, to exhibit their powers. Mr. ABBIT, late of Covent Garden Theatre, is to be the Stage Manager for M. Lauantor. The noble equestrian figure of King CHARLES, at Chstring.cross, was executed by La Solute. It was cast in 1633, in a spot of ground near the church of Co vent Garden ; and not being erected before the coin- Mencement of the civil war, it was sold by the Parlia ment to JOHN River, a brazier in Holborn, with strict orders to break it its pieces. But he produced some fragments of old brass, and concealed the statue and holm under ground until the Restoration. It was placed in its present situation in the year 1678, at the expense of the Crown: STAIR OF THE Wittrensw.—The ea the we.ther these last few days has mot .~ Ti :~ ANN '6 Gr Pitt Aid.

Notwithstanding the above declaration of the Presi dent, it appears from the papers, that the proceedings in the case of the Padre Arenas were not concluded.— Some persons at Toluca, implicated in the plot, had been ordered to be arrested, and brought to Mexico for nomination. The Lady of General Nmetra had instituted proceedings against the Minister at War for the imprisonment of her husband under the charge of conspiracy.
