Provisions are t lerably plentiful and cheap ; and the place, though sickly, is suffeung little in comparison of whit our stoops at Acc-ican are en during. There had been plentiful falls of rain, some times for two days and Ri4his without int rtnittink.— The wreck of a ketch was picked up at Low Island, which appeared to have been laden with wines and spirits, packed in French bottles; two French fowling pieces had also been found. The James Colvin art ifed at Cheduba on the 20th ult. the Henry Meriton had. not - made her.appearance on the 28th tilt. .

Wyndham, First Lieutenant of the Honourable Com _ pany's friga.e Hastings, we are balky to say that the most satisfactory pro:1 has been afforded, if any depend ence can be d in the following account :—Peerka, a syce belonging to Adjutant Thompson, of the Artil lery at Prome, wandered beyiind the usual b unds in search of grass. He was seized by twelve Burmese, who stripped and robbed him of thirty rupe...s, which he had tied round his waist, and bound him t • a tree, having wounthd t: e soles cf his feet by means 4 B sm. boo spikes, to pre - vent his walking. T h ey then left him: after a clusiderabie time he contrived to disen gage himself, by cutting the cords with hi. teeth. It ap peals from his account, that he wandered in the woods and mountains for six days, during a hich time he proceeded in a northerly ditection; an• I from the ascent and descent of the place thion.h which he passed, he was not more than nine miles to the not th ward of Prome, when he met the river Irrawaddy. He raised himself LA° a tree on the bank of the river, anz•ously looking out for a boat. In a short time he saw a canoe with two men in it (whom he believed to be Mugs), paddling close in shore, out of the current. Ile made a piteous cry to them ; on heating which they stopped and took him trona the tree. He made signs of hunger, and endeavoured to make them compr bend his wish to be returnel to the British army. On re• ceiving him on beard the canoe, they proceeded across the Irrawaddy to the western bank; this was about noon; tend in about an hour after they entered a narrow river on the right, or western bank of the Irrawaddy, and arrived at nine o'clock at night at a Mug village on the bank of the small river. He was here well treated, and remained fifteen days, during which time they healed the sores of his feet ; after which they again took him on boatel the same canoe, and conveyed him in three days to Chandway, and delivered him to Lieutenant Wyndham.. The two Mugs were sent to the interpreter, doubtless for the purpose of obtaining information from. them, And re munerating them fur then humanit y. The syce declares that the river never was less than tar ty yards in b eadth, and he does not doubt that there is sufficient water at leastior large boats; it passed at times between lofty mountains, which rose almost from the water-e ge to a great height. We may now observe that the Goliah, a send of about seventy tons, is actually at Chandway, having entered the mouth of the river leading to that place a little to the southward of Chedutra. 'Here, then, we have actual proof, as far as the account of the syce is to be depended upon, of a practicable water com munication from Arracan, Cheduba, •and 'Ramree, to Procne! In addition to the above, we have also learnt the fol lowing particulars relative to this most important matter; Bobok Amery, and Fukeeriran l .lrum the GI nelg's long boat three days'jou:ney fromPrume,in cons (mace of Mgr, atment.
