I arrived with the head of my column in the neighbourhood of Shiudam Mew, eight miles from this place, and concerted measures with Ca l l,. Alexander, commending the rotilla, for attacking Prome on the following day. I have, how. ever, the honour to inform you that the enemy did not await our advance, but retired during the night, apparently in the greatest confusim„ and I yesterday morning took possession of the place without firing a shot, the enemy leaving in the different works about one hundred pieces of artillery and extensive granaries well idled with grain. The surrounding hills were generally fortified to their very summits, and commanded our advance, presenting a posi tan of a very formidable appearance, and in reality so naturally strong that tea thousand steady soldiers could have defended it against any attack of ten times that force. The stockade itself is e.implete, and great labour must hare been bestowed upon it arm, both in moral. and workmanship, it surpasses any thing we have hitherto seen hi this country.

Copy of • 'met from Captain Alexander, of his Majcatfs ship Ail tor, to Brigadier-Oenetal Sir Archituld Campbell, K.C.H., dated Honocrable Company's steam-boat, Mane, off Proem, 9d May 1825. Sir—l Lave great satisfaction in informing you that the light dbriaion of men of war boats under the command of Lieutenant Wilkinson, of his Majesty's ship Liffey, (and whom I sent to re connoitre up the river on the 27th ultimo), returned last night, having succeeded, after a long chase, In capturing and destroying five enemy's large war-boats, pulling from fifty to sixty oars, with their arms and ammunition, and bringing down three others with their guns, &c., m also a b o at laden with thirteen guns of afferent calibres, calibres, jingals, five hundred and twenty spears, and destroying the same number. This service has been performed under the greatest fatigue, from the great strength of the current, which kept the boats under a heavy fire front the hundred musqueteers and fifty horse, under the command of the Prince of Surrawaddy, who was retreating to the left bank near Foundain, destroying the villager, grain, and Iboats of every description. The capture of the war-boats liberated three thousand boats and canoes with families they were driving before them, and all the people claimed protection and returned with Lieutenant Wilkinson, many of when are lying on the oppo site side of the river, waiting for passes to their villages below. I am happy to state this ICITICC has been TertOrmed without • casualty. Four of the enemy were found killed as the boats re turned. The boats got up to 3leerayday. a distance of bt,ween fitly and sixty sidles ; at some of the rapids they did not pull a boat's length in an hour. I have, &c. THOMAS ALEXANDER, Captain of his filiderty's ship Alliginor, Com manding in the River Irrawaddy. P.P.- Three large boats laden with rice, salt and paddy, are among the captured veasels brought down, and the jolly-boat of the Bannerman transport, and a lase*: belonging to her, captured at Rangoon. (From the C'elcatta Govereseriete Gascrte of April 28.) RA MOO. We have the pleasure to present to our readers a most ince veiling examination of ten sepoys, belonging to the Chittagong Moines! Battalion, giving an account ot their captivity, after the affair at Ramon. till they effected their escape at Kassee, and their journey from that place to the camp at Banskanay. Ten sepoys from the Chittagong Provincial Battalion, who were taken prisor.ers by the Burmese. upon being queationed, gave the fallowing account of themselves, delivered bj one man :—•• fly name is 31sniiik Sing, a arpoy of the ith company of the Chittagong Battalion, which was commanded by Capt. Hay : our Adjutant was Lieutenant Clarkson ; we had no doctor ; Nom Matiemed, asbader, commanded my company ; our defeat took place strut noon, when all the month of Jeyt, excepting eight days, was gone. No European prisoners were taken, that we saw : some were killed, we did not count them, but suppose seven or ten. From Ramoo we were taken three days' march towards the S.E. over hills, perhaps ten in number, and crossed one small nullah ; we passed through a village. which we think was called Annuck (they went to the East of Miingdoo); the dingle; as saw were email, equal to carry ten men : at the end of three days' march, we were put into a boat underneath the bamboo flooring, and the Mimese boatmen were above us. _ We were confined nine clays in this manner, during which time we passed through some nullahs with tides. We saw no villages. The weather was stormy, and we made little way each day, which caused us to be nine days in reaching the city of Ro shun, or Raithan, which is a large place, but the houses are, made of mate, raised upon bamboo platforms and bungalows. We saw no puckha buildings, except the fort, which is small and old. Here we were confined tor fifteen days in a house, scarcely allowed to go out, not even to wash our clothes, which were become very dirty : we were otherwise well treated, having plenty to eat and drink, and no work. There was one European, who we understood to be a merchant ; he elm/awls was taken with us to Howa Shuhur (Ave). Cannot say how many inhabitants there may he, but perhaps not less than 28,000. The Burmese force was about 1,000 men ; but they are not soldiers in regiments as w. are; they are villagers, collected together by a letter written by the King.. desiring each village to send a certain number, who immediately proceed to the appointed place, with their own aims and provisions. The peorie of the country are afraid of the Burmese, and dislike them very much. They were very anxious for the English to come and drive the Burmese out. We saw no great guns or magaaires. Having been confined for fifteen days, we were put into boats, and travelled in this manner for twelve days. sometimes in large. at other times in small rivers. lit some of those the people took advantage of the tides, in others the ebbs. We saw many vii. lagfes of large size, full of people, and the country cultivated, lgenerally rice fields. We did not learn the names of any villages. At the end of twelve days we quitted the boats and marched sometimes over hills, sometimes through villages and rice fields; on the plains there were cows and buffaloes feeding. Having travelled fifteen days by land we reached Howe Sliuhur, which is a very large place, situated on the bank of a broad river. We observed some great guns on the ground, outside of the tort, which has three townees--the outer one a day's journey round it. We were con ducted to the presence of the King. At the gate of his palace were six guns mounted, and some casks of powder at the side of each gun : we observed a great number of Angola of different ekes. The King is a good looking man, about thirty years of age; he lives in a good house, much ornamented inside with gold tool silver, but he did not dress well, having only a email piece of fine cloth round his middle, another piece on his head, the rest of his body was Hiked ; he had no jewel!' excepting rings on his lingers: there were many ((went men about his rervm. Oa our appearing before him, he asked if there were any tailors, wasbermen, or water.earrievs amongst us, or if any of us followed any trade. We replied we were soldiers, and understood nothing but the use of the musket, on which he dismissed us room his presence. Three days after this we were chained, two and two together, by an iron ring round our necks, and employed in hard laboi;r—some to beat soorkie--aome to drag logs of wood from the river to the shore, for boat-building, and others to cut up tire-wood, &c. To the north of the city is the river—on the cast there Is a nullah—the south and west have a deep ditch, but not very broad (60 fret), which they can 811 with water at pleasure, we observed seven large depots for grails, three of them on the south side, two on the west, and two on flp north, we under stood there were font in the east, but did-not see them ; we saw no powder magazine, but understood it was near the palace ; we were kept in this manner for four months, during which period we learnt a few words of the language. We were allowed to wash ourselves and our clothes, but we could not get shaved; there are no barbers in Ara. We saw elephants which are not used to carry burdens, also liorsrt in great numbers, cows, and buffidoes; there were three Europeans in confinement in the Fort, who, we were told, belonged to the Madras Establishment, and one havilihr and four manor's of the same. There were also three Europeans confined near the gate, who, we were told, were merchants.. They looked like English mut ; one was Aid to have been seized when getting water from the riser at Allem for a ship. They had iron chains on their legs. At the capita , ion of four months one of the Burmese who guarded us amid( one of the seaport, who. in great anger, told him that for such an indignity all their forts should be burnt about their ears, as soon as the English came, which would be very soon now. This was reported to the King, who sent for us, and ordered that we should be divided into small parties of tens, fifteens, and twentys, and dispersed over the country ; his Majesty observing, it was dangerous keeping such evil-minded men within the fort. Our party and another of fifteen were ordered to Bloom Shaltur, fifteen days' journey, in a boat up the river. Our party stopped one day's journey short of the city;* the other went on. We heard of a city called Amarapora, but we did not see it ; can give no In formation regarding it. Extract of a letter from Rangoon. dated Sunday, April 3, 1826 : —Since my last cur launch arrir. , l from Donabew with despatches, and the Penang 31erchant sails this afternoon, so I have only time to send you a few linen. Our boat left on the Ist, and they had then opened a tire front the two 18-pounders and four mortars, and also from two mortars and two 12-pounder on the point of /and opposite Donabew. On the 25th Sir Archibald nrriyeil in the vici nity of Donalsaar, and sage Major eioekonn, Quarter-Master-de tieral. with three elephants, a detachment of Europeans, and a tonal' party of body guard, us open a communication with General Cotton. Jackson effected his object without interruption; but on his return he was suddenly attacked by a large body of the enemy, and the three 3lah . outs being killed and one elephant wounded, they ran o ff towards the river, and he was obliged to make a re. treat : he reached the river, arid, the boats being in readiness, the torn were embarked and the elephants and horses swam across to Cotton's camp; mir lead was ten killed and wounded. All the wounded were brought aw y. except one poor fellow, whom they took prisoner. Jackson and Iris whole party made a devilish nar row escape. Next thy, the djth, Cotten determined to force a passage to Sir Archibald by water, and, accordingly, the troops being em barked On the bunts, they started, necompstiled by the Powerful cutter, towed by the steno) boat—the former having mortars and the latter rockets on board ; they had to pass within twit range of a battery of twenty.seten heavy guns, and twenty-one war bests, each with two hoe brass runs, 12 and 6-pounders. At first the war-Meats showed and came out to attack our boats: but the steam-boat tasting af, the Powerful clashed in among them, fol lowed by the arnicd busts, and took 13 out of the 21; the other eight made their escape ; and General Cotton joined hir Archibald with the loss of, 1 believe, three killed and ten wounded; one (Am, Lieut. Symes, Madras Artillery, severely wouaded, a three pound ball through hie thigh. The same day they attacked a picket of outs, consisting of Ido Europeans,. and a potty of the body goon! , with a couple of guns. 'they came out with twenty elephants. each mounting a gun, and supported by infantry, amid a body of Osamu horse. Our men reserved their fire, till they were within 100 yards, and then opened upon them with grape, shrap nel!, rockets, and musketry. By all accounts not a man upon the elephants was left alive ; and the most of the elephants being , dreadfully wounded, turned to the right about, when the body; guard dashed in and cut them up nobly. One Woongee was killed, esid his body brought in ; also the Commandant of their artillery they lost a cumber of men. Our loss Bras coq small.

Anchorage near Donabew, March 20, 11121 On the 24th, at noon, General Campbell arrived, and en camped on the north side of the great stockade, but the wind blowing-up the river, prevented our hearing the preconcerted signal; on the morning of the 20th, be opened a few guns acrd mortars on the stockade, which announced to us his ar rival. . _ . rival. a On the 26th he orde;ed a party of 20 cavalry, and 150 of the 31.1 th, with three elephants, under Jackson. to march in land, and pass rourd the stockades, to make a communication with as, whirl) they effected, and arrived opposite our shipping about ten o'clock. Jackson was accompanied by our frte'td 3fontgomerie, Madras Head of the pioneers, and two officers of the 30th (King's). .1,1- ter settling their arrangements, and breakfasting, they started at one o'clock, not without some apprehendons of being opposed ; and, certain enough, before they had got a little more than a utile, the distance around bring four, and when passing through some evremely large reeds, the enemy opened a fire upon them,. wourdAl the three Mahouts. and killed one of the 38th.

Jackson's chief dependence for a road bring on the elephants, he though it advisable to return ; ned they did on. followed up nearly the whole . way fry the patty of the enemy ; we were happy to see them. and to find that so few casualties had taken place, for the musketry led us to think Cher ' wool s have been more. The elephants swam across to one o il s tit the river, and with snme maragement the horses' and - nt were got over before sun-set, and all the cere and attention paid to them our means Permitted ; it was determirteel that evening. that the steam-boat Diana, and the division of the goo-boats•should push up the river at three in the morning. and joth 'Sir A.

Only one gun-boat suffered anything of consequence, and she was obliged, from a shot that struck her bow, to be taken to tlit shore under protection of a battery of twosis-ponntlers, which had been erected during the right opposite the stockade; the steam boat pushed on. and run own golden war-boats ashore, which they captured with their two guns, but - the people in them made their escape.

The Paris Papers which arrived hat night bring a con firmation of the termination of hostilities between the King of SARDINIA and the Dey of TIIIPOI.I. The Sardinian Commander, M. SEvont, behaved with great intrepidity, and soon frightened the barbarian from his piratical claims. The Dutch, we find, had, on the previous day, submitted to the degradation of paying him a tribute of 5,000 piastres fur the renewal of their treaty.

We do not believe this statement, which is accompanied by-another Wholly incredible, viz. that the Greeks have made proposals for submitting again to the Turkish yoke. Spain appears to be in an improving condition. The public mind begins to be tranquillised. Fr RDI NA ND may vet reign in peace and security if he be not utterly destitute of wisdom. The Porr's decease was currently reported at Munich on the 17th instant. [From the Doile dated Thursday, Oct. 27.1 OEWOA, OCT. 18. A Sardinian frigate has just arrived in the Gulf of Genoa, having on boar) the Chevalier Sevori, Commander oe the flotilla which was sent to the Levant to terminate the differences which had arisen between his Sardinian Majesty and the Dey of Tripoli. The flotilla, consisting of two frigates, a brig, n corvette, and three transports, has effected the object of the expedition with un exampled celerity. M. Sevori having been unable to obtain the execution of the ancient treaty with the Barbarcsques, and the Dey persisting in his demand of 4,006 piastres, to re-establish pacific relations, the Sardinian Commander signified his intention of at tacking the town and the forts, if the Consul of his nation was not received within the term of four hours. The time being expired that Of fi cer kept his word :he attacked two Tripolitan schooners,, lying at anchor, and ordered a landing, to spike the cannon of one of the principal batteries of the place. One of the schooners was burnt, the other run aground. The Dry then requested the Cap tain of a Dutch brig to intervene. Ile received front JI. Sevori no answer but the positive assurance that Ire was going to burn the town. Recourse was then had to the English Consul, who went with a flag of truce on board the frigate, and put an end to hostilities, by inducing the Dry to subscribe to the admission of the Sardinian Consul without any condition beyond those of the ancient treaty. Sevori, who has shown on this occasion PO much vigour and intrepidity, is a Genoese, and formerly served in the French navy. The day before this event, the Dutch had renewed their treaty with the Dry, by paying him a tribute of .1,000 piastres. The day following arrived the Nespolitian ship of the line, Vesuvius ; the Dry, still impressed with the recollection of the Sardinian cannon. ade, hastened to renounce the claim he had made on his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilia, of whom 100.000 piastre,' had just been demanded, and he has contented himself with the annual pay. ment of 12,000, as heretofore. PARIS, OCT. 26. The Augsburg Gazelle says--" Accotding to the most recent ac counts from the Mores, Ibrahim Pacha, after having drawn rein forcements from Illodon, has again advanced to Trip°hal. It is said he only waits for a park of artillery from Patras, to recom mence his operations against Napoli di Romania, without even giving the filth expedition time to join him. It is likewise affirmed, that the Greeks had made proposals of accommodation and sub mission. Greek letters, which, however, deserve little credit, assert that the Turco-Egyptian fleet had been defeated near Candia." MADRID, OCT. 16. The state of people's minds on public affairs is more calm and more satisfactory. Order is returning in the interior, with stabi lity in the aslministration. The Brigands who infested the pro vinces are pursued with more ardour. At Madrid society assumes a more animated appearance, and security every where prevails However, the Ministry is again the object of the attacks of the discontented. A false report is designedly spread, of a misunder. standing between the Government and the Nuncio. Every means is employed to persuade the King that the Consultative Junta is an approach to the representative system.

They bring a% hp portant announcement, viz. the official disavowal of the Convention lately made with the Spanish Authorittes, fur the union of the province of Chiquims, in Upper Peru, to the adjoining district of Matto Grosso, in Brazil. The military occupation of this province by the Brazilian forces had nearly provoked a war with the liberating army, under General SUCRE. The Brazilian Government, however, have ordered it to be immediately evactuated, and hare condemned in strong terms the rash conduct of the Gover nor of Matto Grosso. This prudent resolution, and the judicious tone of moderation in which it is communicated. may in all probability be ascribed to the salutary influence exercised by Sir CH ARLES STUART, whose presence in that part of the world will, we have no doubt, be attended with the most beneficial results at this critical juncture. A Com mission. has been formally appointed to confer. and treat with his Excellency on the important negotiations now pending. An Imperial Decree has been issued relative to the !Vin ing Associations in Brazil, complAnitig that the grantees have abused'their privileges with the view of promoting their private interests, and directing that their proceetling4 shall he investigated. Wc do not understand what i.tnea,.. OFFICIAL.. His Majesty has receivedthe despatch of the Governor of Matto Grosso, dated April 13, accompanied by various documents, from which it appears that the independent troops of Peru, having 'taken possession of Santa Crux de la' Sierra,• and called upon Don 1)e Sebastian Ramos, Governor of the Provinc.: Chiquitos, faithful to the King of Spain, to join the mendend of the liberals, he re fused to do so. anti preferred seeking the protection of the Imperial arms ; that with this view, he sent his Aid-de.Camp, D. Jose Maria de Velasco, to the-Govemor of Matto Grosso, to whom lie proposed to unite the Province of Chiquiun with the Empire of Brazil, a proposal which the Governor of Matto Grosse. by the advice of the Provincial authorities, accepted. Though the Go vernor probably thought by this means better to provide for the defence of the capital of Matto Grosso ; and actuated. perhaps, by an indiscreet zeal, thought to du a service to his Majesty, and to the empire, by the acquisition of an adjacent tett itory, in order to sup. port, by this meats, the exertions of the Royalists in America ; yet, it should have occurred so the Provisional Government, that the particular interest cat a nation is not a sufficient or honourable reason for aggrandizing itself at the expense of the fidelity of people who ate led 'to make such a sacrilioe only by calamities, which. however seriousque, neverthees, transitory—and as, basides, the Government is quite incompetent to make a practical decision on the question which divides the Liberals and the Royalists in Spanish America..and should, therefore, not have sanctioned, or resolved on such measures—his Majesty the Empernecommands the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs to signify his surprise to the Govern ment, it the revolution which it took, not only to accept the union of the Province of Chiipiitoe, but to make the Brazilian troops pass the frontiers of the empire to protect it ; anti the more so. as, pa if hie Majesty had been previously consulted, as he ought to have been, lie never woul9 have given his consent to this step, ma being contfarY to the generous and liberal- sentiments which guide the policy of his cabinet, and to hia.intentien of not interfering in the present contest between the inhabitants of Spanish America, and the mother country, as is conformable to the public law of civilized nations.

The question is, whether they have violated the terms of their contracts. It' they have not, his BItAZILIAN MAJESTY has no tight to fit fault with them because his Ministera may fancy that tl.e interests of the empire might be better served by followin g another mode of transacting their business. The Decree, hoWever, renews the Imperial pledge of good faith with respect to the grants. From the Supplement to the Gazette published yester doy, we have extracted the most interesting portion of the despatches relative to our late successes in India. The substance of the news is already known to our readers. We have not thought it necessary, therefore, to give seve ral of the official pieces of an earlier date. They consist of, fat, a despatch from Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, dated head-quarters, camp before Donabeve, March 29, giving are ' account of the military operations up to that period ; 2d, a report fron. Brigadier-lieneral COTTON, dated Panlang, Feb. 24, describing the operations of the water column h3tl, a second report from the same General, dated near Youngyoun, March 9 ; and 4th, a report from Major SALE, dated Bassein, March 6, describing what tool place previously to the total destruction of that place by fire, cii the 3d of March. A general ceder was issued from Fart William, on the 29th April, ordering a Royal salute and three volleys of musketry to be fired at all the stations of the laud forces inrhe East Indies, in honour of the capture of Donabew, an event which the Governor General iu his letter to the Court of Directors, rays, " coupled with our late signal successes in Arracan, cannot fail to proluce a most power. ful impression on the Court of Avs." The extracts we have given from the Calcutta papers will he found highly interesting. They describe, with great force and in familiar language, the nature of the obstacles which have been so admirably overcome by our gallant countrymen. FITY, FRIDAY E•Exixo This being St. Simon and Jude, waa observed as a holy day at the Stock Exchanges ; but many speculators con gregated on the Royal Exchange, where, how e v er , b ut few private bargains were entered into. Consols were, all day, for the November account S7ll. The Colonial Market was almost without business. There was a fair supi ly of Oats at market this morning, and the prier was fully supported, as was the case with Wheat. Barley was rather fiat. The Ring arrived, in his travelling carriage with out riders, on Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock, in tow.), and alighted at the ground, in St. James's Park, where the building of the new palace is proceeding, when his Iktajcsty inspected the works, and gave his commands for further operations. The Duke of Cumberland accompanied his Majesty to London, and proceeded in the Ki ng ' s cart* to his residence in St. James's Palace. The carriage then proceeded to his Majesty's stables at the back of t h e P a l m in Pall-mall, changed horses, and then returned to the works for the new palace, where his Majesty, having re mained about half an hour, entered his travelling carriage, and went to the Palace at Kensington, where, after stayi ng some dine, the King proceeded to the old palace at hew, where he arrived about five o'clock. Danner was served up immediately after. At eight o'clock the Kia left Kew, on his return to the Royal Lodge, Windsor Pa rk. Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, the Duke of Cla rence arrived in his travelling chariot and outriders, from Bushy Park, at his house in Charles-street, Berkeley square.

NUPTIAL OF THE MAaQVIS M r ELLESLEY.—MII. Pat terson is of Irish descent. Her grandfather, Mr. Carroll, resides in the city of Washington. He filled, at a remote period, a high judicial office in Canada. Mrs. Pattersou's maiden name was Caton. Her late husband was the brother of Mrs. Jerome Bonaparte. The day for the celebration of the nuptials is not yet appointed ; Lut it is understood that the ceremony will not be deferred beyond Saturday next (this t'sy )—DuLtin Freeman's Journal. The Times is unfortunate in its intelligence. On TOCT day it stated that Sir George Cockburn, a Vice-Admiral of the Fie.% and a Lard of the Admiralty, was to proceed to Colombia in the capacity of Minister Plenipotentiary. Yesterday, meaning to correct its mistake, it says, "it is Sir Alezawkr Cockburn who has been appointed Envoy to Colombia." There is no such person as Sir Alexander Cockburn ; and further, no Minister is, as yet, appointed to Colombia at all.

The waters of the Rhone had considerably decreased on Wednesday last, but pn the following day roses() suddenly and quickly, that they spread through the &oilcans. 011 Friday morning the water had penetrated by the subtena neous conduit in the Rue du l'erat, and covered two steps of the Church of Charity. Fifteen rafts have collected at the Morand Port. On the side tear the Brotteaux the pavement is being taken up. Thre e arches of the bridge have suffered considerably, and have given way 15 inches; but very fortunately the water began to decrease on the Saturday. Had it risen fourteen inches higher, it would have attained the point it did in 181'2. The immense collection of timber which completely blocks up five arches of the bridge is estimated at 400,C00 francs. We have just learnt that a water-mill, swept away by the Rhone, has vio lently struck against the Morand Bridge, and carried away four of its arches.—Courrier Franeai .
