RECOMMENCEMENT OF HOSTILITIES WITH The following is the official account of the renewal of hostilities with the Burmese, as.contained in a letter addressed to Commodore Sir James Brisbane, by Capt. Clads, of his Majesty's ship ALLIGATOR, and transmitt ed by Sir James to the Admiralty "Mrt.t.ouit, JAL 20, 1226. "The time granted for the receipt of the ratification of the Treaty for Peace, by the Court of Ava, having expired on the 18th instant, and the Burman Chief, continuing to act with base duplicity and evasion, no alternative was left the Commander of the Forces (Sir A. Campbell) than the painful one of renewing hostilities, which was done yesterday, and was attended, I rejoice to say, with the complete defeat of the enemy, and the capture of Mlloun, with all the ordnance, boats, commissariat stores, and a small quantity of treasure. " Sir A. Campbell having made his disposition for the attacks of Melloun, about eleven o'clock, and in a short time, having made the necessary impres sion, the works were stormed in a fine gallant style. The enemy fled in the utmost confusion, with great loss, leaving us in possession of the stockade, with, I regret to say, the gallant Colonel Sale and Major Frith, severely wounded, and about twenty casualties. " I !tree the honour to remain, " 11. D. CIIADS, Captain of his Majesty's ship ALLIGATOX, in command of the flotilla."

(FROM P RIVATI SOURCIS). By an arrival yesterJay from the Cape of Good Hope information was communicated of the Tamar frigate having reached Colombo on the Bth of February, from Rangoon, with news of the renewal of hostilities with the Burmese, and we understand that dispatches to a similar effect have been received at the Admiralty from Sir James Brisbane, who commands the naval force on the Irrawaddy. The circumstances which have trans pired relative to this event, are as follows :—Sir Arch. Campbell, whose heathqoarters were a short distance in advance of Procne, on the road to Ummerapoora, had been induced to suspect treacherous intentions on the part of the enemy, by observing, that subsequently to the signature of the prelimi nar y trea ty, an augmenta tion had taken place in the force stationed on the op posite bank of the river, and that the Burmese were busily employed in forming new stockades. He there fore kept his troops as closely together as possible, and awaited the termination of the period fixed on for the ratification of the treaty, which it had been sti pulated should arrive from the capital in fifteen days—i. e. on the 18th of January. That day passed over without any notice or communication that the ra tification had arrived. Sir A. Campbell therefore felt at once convinced of the treachery of the Burmese, and of the necessity of striking some decisive blow, in order to teach them that a British negotiator was not to be trifled with, Having completed all his preparations, be p assed the river on th e 20 t h, an d storme d the eft my s camp, with such signal success that the Burmese fled in all directions, leaving their military stores and the whole materiel of the camp in the possession of the British. A large sum of money is said to have been found there on the occasion, and the whole of the stock• ades formed by the enemy were destroyed. It is not stated what the intentions of Sir Archibald Campbell were with respect to further military operations in con sequence of the breaking off of the treaty, but it is sup• posed he would continue to occupy the position he then held, until some information could be obtained of the future plans of the enemy. He had issued, it is said, a proclamation, in which those provinces cedeJ, or placed under the protection of Great Britain by the treaty, were called upon to declare themselves independent of the King of Ava, and promising them the support of Great Britain in maintaining them as separate states. The design of making Rangoon a free port, another stipulation of the treaty, it is further stated, will be carried into effect und_r the same guaraltee. The following is a copy of a letter from an Officer serving in the army before Bhurtpore " Camp before Bkortpore, 26th Jan. 1526. 41 You will be delighted to hear that this important fortress was taken by storm on the morning of the 18th. Every one of Lard Combermere's arrrangements suc ceeded su well that not a Chief escaped, and nearly every man of the garrison was either killed, wounded or taken prisoner. Since the fall of Bhurtpore, amg, Kanmbear, Brama, Nair, and Kama have surrendered to us, and all the rich dominions of the Rajah are in our possession. The fall of this place is of the greatest conse quence. AU the neighbouring powers were inimical to us, and had not Lord Combermere succeeded so completely, all would have declared against us, and we should have been in a bad way, the Burmese war taking se many of our troops. It is very probable the King of Ava will now come to terms; for this war, taking so large a portion of our force, led him to imagine that we could not carry on a war long at two such distant pointi, this place being 900 miles west of C.rlcutta, and the Bur• mese territory as far east of it. I know not how this service will be appreciated in England, hut it is the most decisive blow that has been struck in India for many years ; and all the neihhour hit! Chiefs, wl.o held their heads so, high, a. e now at L'h d Combertitere's feet, and he daily gets lett: rs of congratulation frost. them. Our Command.r•in•Chicf had two very narrow escapes ; Brigadier• General M'Cornbe and . tvi n mei, were knocked down close by him, by the ex pl , •ston at a mine. The two men were killed, and General Al-Combe much hurt, and our gallant Connnander in-Chief not touched.— Afterwards ascending the breach, he was saluted with three rounds of grape shin, and escaped again untouched. We most sini.cr‘ly hope such services will meet their reward at home." ELECTION I NTE LI. IC EN CIE crry OF LONDON ELECTION. THE SHERIFFS' OFFICIAL. RETURN. A Common Hall was held yesterday, for the purpose of receiving the Sheriffs official return, which was as follows : Thompson . 6485 Wait 'man : 4 5° 99 4 2 5 Ward Wood 4891 Lord Mayor . 4514 Garrett . 330 The first four Gentlemen were accordingly declared to be duly elected to represent the City of London in Parliament. Mr. Alderman TMOMPSON, atter returning thanks, said, that the Livery of London should find him an in dependent, active, and zealous representative, and that he would devote unremitting attention to every subject connected with the City of London. He would use his most strenuous exertions in protecting their trading interests and municipal rights—(Apptouse). He would at all times be found easy of access, as well to the less wealthy as to the richer portion of his constituents— (Great cheering). Mr. Alderman WAITHIMAN arid, it was utterly im possible for him to do anything like justice to his feelings for the distinguished honour which had been coact red upon him by the L:very of the City of Lon don. lie stood in rather a different situation to either of the other Candidate;: he had been brought forward as an independent C tradidate, and he had been placed in that high stltion entirely. free of expense, and he must confers that he should have felt much greater gratification by being at the bottom of the poll, rather than that those means should be resorted to, which were adopted by the other candidates. He maintained that the great body of traders ought to confine their in terests to the keeping of one of their own body, in pre ference to an individual totally unconnected with them. He had even considered it improper for a man to go to Parliament to represent one branch alone, for he ought, in fact, to represent the whole interests of his fellow-, citizens. There was another also—no man should enter' the House of Commons, unless lie had made himself acquainted with the nature of the British Constitution. That was seen in the Bill of Rights, and the innova tions which had been made were through the venality of Parliament. The worthy Alderman, after adverting at some leng'h to the duty of a Representative, con eluded by congratulating the Livery of London upon the extinction of many of those prejudices wbich had been in existence far so great a length of time. Mr. WARD said, he had once more to thank them for the high situation in which he stood on the poll. He begged to remind them that when lie first offered him selt to theit notice, he did so partly on commercial grounds; but, however anxious he might be to uphold the commercial interests of the country at large, he would never di.regard the corporate rights and privi leges of the citizens of London. There was one subject which he wished to explain to them. It had been stated, that he had said Le would not accept of an Alderman's gown, if one were offered to him. He did not do so out of any disrespect to the Court or the Members of it individually. As one proof of his respect for that Court, he would tell them that early in life he married an Alderman's daughter. His reason, however, was this, that being a Director of the Bank of England,' should he accept of an AlJerman's gown he might be afterwards chosen Lord Mayor, and thus have to per form the duties of three offices—that of Lord Mayor, Bank Director, and Representative in Parliament ; duties which it would be quite impossible for one man to undertake. He again thanked them for the confi dence they had reposed in him, and assured them that all the energies of his soul should be used to prevent his disappointing that confidence. Mr. Alderman Woos also returned thanks, after which Mr. nott, the Chairman of Mr. Thompson's Committee, moved a vote of thanks to the Sheriffs, which was carried unanimously. The Hall was then dissolved. SURREY. GUILDIORD, MONDAY. The resignation of Mr. Sumner was not announced here until a late hour yesterday evening. This morning, before nine o'cl(lck, Mr. Pallmer came from his place at Kingston, escoi ted by a long procession of friends in carriages and tour. At twelve o'clock the High Sheriff made up the books, and gave notice that he would declare the successful candidates at one. In the mean time a slight effort to create confusion was arempted, by the circulation of a report that another candidate, a Joliffe, would be proposed. This proved to have no foundation, and, at one o'clock, Mr. Denison and Mr. Pallmer were carried in triumph to the bus. tings ; and the High Sheriff, after announcing the numbers to be Mr. Denison • • • 2507 Mr. Pallmer Jr. Sumner 1037 declared the two former duly elected. A Mr. LiACH then came forward, to corn slain that a day of nomination had not been appointed previous to the day of election, but the High Sheriff explained in a most satisfactory manner that he had not been called on so to do, and expressed his willingness always to at tend to the wishes of theTreeholders. Mr. DENISON said—Although expressions of grati. tude are soon exhausted, the feelings which I now enter tain for the honour you have done me shall never quit my bosom. To have polled 2000 freeholders of this county, without even soliciting a vote, is the proudest triumph of your principles which has ever been experienced Ly any body of electors in the kingdom—(Cheers ) Among the various interests which prevailed in so large a county, it is impossible that I should please every body, but I trust that I have never omitted to do all in my power when I have been called upon, or in any de- gree forfeited the principles on which you first gave me your support. lam ready at all times to obey the se quisition of the freeholders, but I have no right to dictate to them. The more I see of life, and the practical effect of those pr inciples convince me that they are adapted to promote the prosperity of the British Empire, and of the whole woild-4Cheers.)-1 shall always be found to enforce' the'necessity of economy and retrenchment—slse amelistraiiiin of the coalition of the staves—of the reduction of taxation; and I will not consent to that which has been done this year, that of adding eight in llions to the public debt. —I will plainly state what my principles ate. I wish to see more public spirit infused into the House of Com mons, and fewer placemen. I wish to see elections carried on with less expense to the candidates, so that a respectable country Gentleman might be able to con test a county with the proudest aristocrat. In. the ensuing Parliament two topics will be discussed of the deepest interest. The Corn Lives and the Currency. What, Gentlemen, is the cause of the Corn Bill? Taxation. What is the cause of that Taxation? The destructive war in which we were so long engaged. It is unquestionably necessary to keep faith with the public creditor, but at the same time it is necessary to do all that can be effected to reduce the burdens of the people —taking care that taxation shall weigh equally on all classes. Let the landholder be protected from the taxes which he exclusively pays —namely, from tithes, poor-rate-, and assesses, and then let foreign corn come in from any part of the globe. as free as any other commodity. (Cheers). With respect to the currency, r 1 wish to state that I voted with Government last year, because I thought that the immense issue of paper from country banks would ruin the nation, unless they were speedily checked—(Applause) The misery which ensues to all classes of people fr o m the failure of a country bank is most painful to contemplate, and unless security is given, such issues ought not to be permitted. It is possible that the steps which have been taken in this respect have been too precipitate, but the principle of them is just, and must be supported. It may be neces e sary to permit a paper currency for a time, on account of the difficulty of returning to a metallic currency, but there is no reason why security should nut be given b those who take upon them se l ves to i ssue i t—(C h eers). The landed and commercial interests are bound to ;ether by an adamantine chain, and one cannot prosper with• out the other. I congratulate you that this contest has been carried on with the spirit of Englishmen, and the feelings of Gentlemen. There have been here none of those riots which have disgraced other elections. I can only say, I will execute the business of the county to the utmost of my ability, and I only regret that my talents are not equal to my inclination to serve you—(cheers). Mr. Piteematt—My gratitude is inexpressible. I ac cept of the sacred stewardship with which you have been pleased to invest me, with pleasure and pride. In my future Parliamentary conduct I will endeavour to follow many of the principles of my Honourable Col league, which I admire, and I will also imitate all that was good, and honourable, and beneficial to the county in the conduct of the late Honourable and worthy Member, and avoid those causes which have drawn on him your displeasure. I must alio have prin ciples of my own, I am a firm adherent to the King, and have been so from the earliest years. We have a patriot Monarch, who sends his bounty from his private purse to every part of the kingdom, and I join with all my heart in that sacred precept of " GOD save the King." the Magistrates of the county form a most important feature in its constitution. I should be glad to act in concert with them, and I trust they may even deserve, and receive the admiration and support of the people. I respect and admire many of the gen tlemen attached to the party with whom my Hon. Col league acts. Lord Holland, Lord Lansdown, and Lord Grey, are men excellently qualified to hold the reins of Government, and I rejoice that there are such men in the.couneey in case it may have need of them. lam proud of the virtues and talents of Lord Liverpool, and I am also proud. that the most eloquent voice in the world is raised from that Ministry, for the relief and amelioration of the foreign subjects of this empire. am also proud of that Moister who has engaged him self in the useful and laborious task of simplifying and reforming the Criminal Code of Laws.—(Applause ) With regard to the Currency and the Corn Laws, they are subjects which there is not now time to discuss; but I assure you that I will bring to their consideration a mind perfectly unbiassed; and I will conclude by pray ing, that Heaven may long preserve you and that Con stitution, the principles of which your conduct of this day has tended to establish.—(Loud applause.) The businen of the meeting was concluded by the elected Mens bers being girt with a spur, and carried on men's shoulders out of the Court-house. They were then mounted upon two ears pre pared for the purpose, and decorated with ribands and laurel Laves, and in this state were paraded through the town. After this ceremony was completed, each of the Candidates en tertained a large party of friends to dinner. PRESTON, iUM la. The agents of Captain Bade were thrown into the greatest alarm yesterday morning, in consequence of the partial success of what they state to have been an unexampled trick—out of the tallies of this candidate, as they were brought up, several at the critical moment gave plumper. for Mr. Cobbett. Upon investigation it appeared, that there was good reason to believe th..t some of the more determined supporters of Mr. Cob bett had purposely contrived to get into the enemy's camp, and arrayed themselves in his colours, in orders i 4.
