This inea sure—coupled with the fame acquired by Lord !lase tees in the Ma!matte war—produced its Effect, and hos tilities were for the present evaded. his manifest that fear alone prevented the King of Ava from carrying his denun ciation of warfare into effect, and that no reliance could he placed on the continuance of tranquillity. His Birmese Majesty, in fact, never failed to put his forces in motion whenever he thought there was a favourable opportunity of attack. The return of the ilforgeis of HASTINGS to Europe before the arrival of Lord AMIIERST, who was sent out to succeed him, was considered by the liirtnese as affording this opportunity. Their principal General, BuNDOOLAII, who was considered by his countrymen as invincible, was sent with a fortnitlable force towards the frontier, whilst a Birmese flog• was hoisted to take possession era small island belonging tu the East India Company. Lord Ann Ens T, on his arrival in India, being informed of this proceeding ordered the flag to be hauled down, upon which Be NDOO LA!, entered Chittagong, and threw up a strong stockade. Thus the wee commenced. It was not offensive—as will be seen—but defensive. Need we, after this simple and authentic recital, be at further pains to prove that hostilities were unavoidable? IVould it have bet it wise or prudent in the GOVERNOR-GENEUAL to have truckled to this barbarous Chieftain, and to have proffered terms of negotiation ? Could lw, without first abandoning all concern for the dignity of the British name, have compromised the safety of our possessions in India, by winking at this attack, and bribing Be:snoo LA II and his army to retreat? The bare supposition is revolti•tg. It is incumbent on those who exclaim against the t irinese war as improvident and un necessary, to show in what' manner it could have been avoided. The public have here the detail before them. Every man will judge for himself. If we were inclined to go into further detail on this head, we might refer—as a further evidence of the adverse intentions of the Birman Government—to the embassy which wax sent to the King of Comte-Cu xA, to induce him to make war on the Siamese. The policy of the Air man Monarch in acting thus was to furnish employment at home for the Siamese troops—who are the natural ene mies of the Birmese—antl thus put it out of their power to take part with the British against him ; but this scheme of policy was frustrated. The embassy did not succeed. Objections have been made to the manner in which the operations of the war have been conducted. A very brief detail of facts will show that such objections originate en tirely from imperfect or erroneous information. The first measure aeupted by Lord Animater, after the Binnese troops had taken up their menacing position, was the sending a detachment of Sepoys to reinforce Chitta gong; this force, it was considered, would be sufficient to protect the frontier, and render further operations unne cessary. But this force failed of its purpose, and had not the Governor-General instantly resorted, as he did, to de cided measures, the Binnese would not only have been inspired with confidence by the delay, but would have availed themselves of it to strengthen their alliance with some of the native Princes of Ifindostan ; the effect of which would have been that our allies, and perhaps the Sepoys, would have been disheartened. To prevent any dangerous results of this nature, it was resolved to attack the Birmese by a simultaneous movement, at Ar grais, Chedttba, and Rangoon : this was done, and they were defeated, at each place, with considerable lees, while their troops in Assam were surrounded and destroyed by a British detachment which had been sent into that quarter. The setting in of the rainy season prevented the possibility of advancing, and the only movements which could be made with advantage were the attacking those places on the coast which were taken by detachments sent out from Rangoon, the inhabitants showing a decided inclination to wards the British Government. The rainy season does not prevent the operations of the Birtnese, whose habits and constitution ate fitted to it, and the importance which they attached to the capture of Rangoon (the City of Victory), which had been built by the renowned A LOMPRA, the founder of their Sove reignty, prompted them to concentrate the whole resotuces of the empire to retake it ; but their efforts were ineffectual. The division under Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL WAS re.• reatedly engaged, and the enemy was every time defeated, their artillery taken, and thousands of their troops de stroyed. The result was, the kiss of that confidence which they had previously possessed—disaffection among the people—and confusion at the Court of Ava, which was wholly unprepared for such reverses. The Governor-General has been thought blameable by some persons—judging of the policy of his measures at this distance—for sending the troops to Rangoon to take the field so short a time previous to the setting in of the rainy season. No censure can be less justified. By the prompt and sudden attack on Rangoon the enemy were taken by surprise: for although they had been the aggres sors, and had themselves commenced hostilities, they never expected that so quick and decided a movement would be made on the part of our Government. Had we not at tacked it thus unexpectedly, Rangoon could not have been captured iu the manner it was ; for although taken as they were by surprise, diet still had got two -brigs under weigh, to sink in the narrows of the river, and were preparing numberless fire-rafts ' which would have been sunk down on us the next tide, had not Commodore Gan xr carried the fleet up in a manner which rendered all their attempts abortive. By getting possession of Rangoon at this juncture we were, moreover, enabled to cut off a great part of the supplies which sv.re forwarding to the capital, anti to apply ;km to the use of our own troops: As to the extraordinary judgment with which the war has been conducted ; there can, we think, be no difference of opinion. The gallant achievements of Sir AitcniaALD CAMPBELL and of the brave troops under his command cannot be contemplated without emotions of national pride. At present the whole district between PROME and the coast—a fertile portion of territory, which furnishes the chief supply of subsistence to the whole empire—is in the possession of our troops. We are cempeiling the enemy to retreat upon a barren country; and when Sir ARCHIBALD and his army enter the capital of Um mEttarooaa—whiCh they will have done ere this—the Emperor will then be convinced, in spite of his superstition and the illusions of sorcery, that his kingdom is conquered. What terms of peace the Governor-General may impose is a point on which it would be out of our province to offer any opinion ; but this we know, that it is generally believed in India thaksuch a line of frontier will be taken up as will remove all danger of any future incursions from the Birmeee, and that no considerations will be left out of view that can per petuate the incalculable advantages we have acquired. tine of the increasing distress of the silk trade, have b f " transmitted to us; they are abstracted from the differ:a parish books SPITALIiELDS PA /I—Matti/ell in the workhouse, sm, lined out of the bowie, 100.

CITY. SATURDAY Erma,. A general stagnation prevailed at the Stock Nlark t ring the whole of the morning; the attention of the Jobber% having been drawn to the election of a new Member to serve on the Committee , in the roo m o f one o f t h e late et. faulters. Until nearly 2 o'clock Consuls for Account re. maincd extremely steady at 804, when a pretty considerabl e bargain, in an optima effected by a leading speculator, g ate additional life to the transactions, so that by 3 o'clock Con soh for Account were currently selling at SOIL with en ap. pesrance indicative of a further improvement. The day having passed without the announcement of any filth fail ures, tended very much to increase confidenc e among the dealers, and it will he seen that at the close of busines s , Consols for Account were w ithi n 4 per cent. of. th e hi g h est quotations at whidi they have been sold during the whol e of the week. The bargains in Money Stock have 'shown less dis.res than either yesterday or the day before, very few transfers having been e%cted, although Monday is to be observed as a holyday at the Bank. Both the English and Foreign Stott Markets are, however, to remain open. Although speculation was not very active at the Forein Market to-day, yet the fluctuation in the prices has been rather more extensive than it was yesterday. The Greek Bonds, which have remained in a torpid state for some days, have very unexpectedly advanced 3 per cent., wl:ich is attributed to the receipt of intelligesne of a serious mis. understanding having arisen among the Turkish chiefs; added to which, it is said that the Greek forces were prt. paring to take advantage of this want of unanimity. The improvement in Greek Bonds in the middle of the day was from 13 to IS, on which however there was a reaction of about 14 per cent. in the afternoon, but they left off at 17. The demand for Russian, as well as other Northern Secu rities, has been very languid, and the quotations are for the most part nominally the same as yesterday. Danish Bonds meet with purchasers at 39g, and 60 for the middle of next month, d^ new account having been now opened. Russian Bonds opened and closed this afternoon at 84. Prussian are steady at 94. Before the close of business there was a slight improvement in-Spanish Bonds, which rose from 12 to I2i, but very little has been done in them. The principal part of the business done in the Trans•. lantic Securities has been in the adjustment of the accounts, owing to the near approach of the settling day, which is on Tuesday next. The New Account is fixed * for the 14th February, and the continuation from Account to Account is from ; I, to i per cent. The fluctuation in Colombian and Mexican Bonds, during the day, has amounted to about 1 per cent., leaving off about 4 per cent. higher than they opened this morning. Brazil and Buenos Ayres Bonds, which, under ordinary circumstances, would be susceptible of the greatest variation, in consequence of the war carried on between the Governments of each, have remained nomi. nally the same as yesterday. WINDSOR, SUNDAY, J ai. Divine service was performed as usual this morning, by the Rev. Dr. Sumner, at the Chanel in the Royal Lodge. This being the anniversary of the King's accession to the throne, the morning was ushered in with the ringing of bells, and the guns fired at the usual hour. The King's stag-hounds turn out to-morrow at Thorp, and on Friday at Slough ; both mornings at half-past ten. His Majesty's trades-people have a grand dinner to-mor row at the Star and Garter, to commemorate the King's accession to the throne. The King is expected to hold a Privy Council at the Castle to-morrow. . . Friday biing the birth-day of the Duke of Sussex, when his Royal Highness completed his ;ad year, his Royal Ilighness's tradespeople illuininated their houses in the evening. The Duke of Gloucester is staying at Lulworth Castle, enjoying the sport of shooting. THE LORD CD A NCE 1.1.0 R.—The inquiries were on Sa turday more numerous than on the preeedinf days, not only at his Lordship's residence, but at Lincoln a Inn Hall, where one of the messengers is constantly in attendance to give answers. The answers given on Saturday were, that his Lordship continued much •the same, but was by no means better. He passed a very indifferent night. On Saturday the anniversary meeting of the Cabinet (including the great officers of state and the Cabinet Mi nisters) took place at the Earl of Ifarrowhy's house, as Lord President of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, for the purpose of arranging the nominated list of gentle men to serve the office of Sheriff for all the Counties in England, except Lancashire, for the present year, previous to their being pricked by his Majesty. The only great officer of state present was the Duke of Montrose (the Lord Chamberlain): besides the noble host there were present the Earls of Liverpool, Westmorland. and Bathurst, the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Mel ville, Lord Bexley, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Bul ler (one of the Clerks of the Privy Council), &c. The Earl of Harrowby entertained the distinguished party with a sumptuous dinner. Several young Noblemen are expected to accompany the Duke of Wellington on his Embassy to St. Petersburgh. Despatches were received ytsterday alibi Foreign-Office from Peris. Mr. Ilaviland, the King's messenger, was sent off on Friday night, from the Foreign-office, with despatches from Mr. Secretary Canning to Viscount Strangford, our Ambassador at St. Petersburgb. _ _ _ The Berlin Journals hate the following notice from Warsaw, Jan. 3 : —His Imperial flightless; the Grand Duke Constantine, his health being recovered, left this city for St. Petershorgh a week ago. In the present embarrassments arising from the failure of the Country Banks, no place seems to have sufi'ere.l more than Tadcaster and the nighbourbood : there was no bank .at Tadcaster, but there was an active agent for Messrs. Wentworth and Co.'s bank, and another for the firm of Messrs. Dobson and Son, Huddersfield, who, be fore the late failures, had nearly changed all the circu lating medium for the paper of those •banks.--Leeds lifercury. A plan we hear is formed, and has been for some time digesting, for establishing a Yorkshire Banking Company, at Leeds, on the model of the Scotch Banks, with a capital of two millions sterling, in 8000 shares, of 250/. each, the money to be actually paid into the bank. We do not know sufficient of the details to judge of the practicability of the plan, nor do we perceive how such /an eetablishment can exist in England, in the present state of the law, ex cept as a-discount office.—Leeds Mercury.

It was found ne cessary, however, to land a considerable part of this force at Candle, that island being in a state of revolt against the Turks.

Jag. 7, At the very moment of the accession of hit Majesty the Emperor Nicholas to the throne, we bail occasion,though from an afflicting event, to admire the firmness and goodness of heart of OUT Monarch. It is generally known how the Emperor behaved os the 2tith as a Sovereign, but netball better represent, the man and the friend than the following autograph letter, which his Majesty wrote to Cetant Milarodowitach immediately after be was wounded:— My friend my dear Michael Andreewitsch—May God re ward you for v;hat you have done for me. Hare confidence in find, as I myrrh have; he will not take my friend from me. If I could follow the impulse of my heart I should already be with you, but business keeps me litre. This day is very painful to me, but I have a consolatiom which is above every thing; for I see lo you and all the people my friends. my children. May the in. finite goodness of God give me strength to repay thew ; 1 will consecrate my whole life to accomplish it.

Ordinary cloths and Linens had an indifferent sale; silks alone were In demand. . The King M Ha . iniria. in an audience which he gave to the Depu ties of the tarn of A nspach, said to them : " In order to make savings, I ha►e been obliged to make re. trenehntents; many branches of expenditure have been diminished by half. Doubtless these measures have displeased many persons, but I could not do otherwise. People make an outcry, yet I have dose only what is just. blany other changes would be necessary, bat humanity restrains me. As for the pers o ns in office who arc affected by these measures, they shall lisive I.l.9cient to live upon. Even in the last assembly of the States many reductions should have been made, but it was roper to respect the will of my tither. In the next Session our budget will be very different from what it was, and if things had remained on the former footing, we should have become bankrupts." Letters Siam Trieste say that an Algerine squadron of three ves sels had appeared in the Adriatic, pursued by a Greek division from Hydra. The last letters from Vienna do not agree with respect to the affairs of Hungary. The Diet seems not to have agreed with re spect to several of the royal propositions. The Archduke Palatine has paid another visit to Vienna. to confer with the Emperor, his brother, on the subjects under discussion at Pressburg. The con ciliatory character of his Imperial Highness gives reason to sup pose that things will be arranged amicably to the satisfaction of the Government, of the Diet, and for the general good of Hungary. News has been received at Semlin that the Ottoman troops as sembled in the plain of Adrianople, which were to march to Western Greece. to reinforce the army of Redsehid Pacha, have tumultuously refused to march, declaring to their officers that they would not make a campaign in winter. A Tartar has been de spatched to Constantinople to acquaint the Grand Villa with this event. PRICES (IF BRITISH s Rank Stock 2166 214 per Cent. Red. 811 5 per Cent ('ons. 801 Ditto Acet.

The affair of Madame Misr.° is strange enough certainly, but by no means surprising in such a country as Spain now is. Alit the news which is really of importance is that relative to the prompt and decisive measures adopted by Mr. C/o:xi am; to compel the fulfilment of the Treaty with • the Cortes for the indemnification of the English merchants whose property was seized by the pirates of the Ifavannah. We stated some months ago thet instructions had been transmitted to Mr. LAME to insist upon the satisfaction of these claims. It appears that the last extremity only in duced the Spanish Court to plcilge itself that justice should be done. (From the Stolle, dated Saturday. Jan. 213.) Nepali), JAN.2O. An event which 'coincides with sinister predictions, with which enemies of the Government have long endeavoured to excite terror. gives rise at this moment to various conjectures, and is the general subject of conversation.' On the night of the 13th of this month, one of the screams of the Infant Don Carlos found a woman. elegantly dressed, concealed behind a curtain in the Prince's bedchamber. On being questioned, she replied that her name was 31i.10 ; that she Tres of Portuguese origin ; that Queen Isabella of Braganza had brought her to Spain, and that she had sir.ce been banished to Seville. The sud den appearance of this lady, who was believed to be in exile, and her introduction into the apartments of Don Carlos. naturally ex cited the most serious suspicions. Madame 3lislo accordingly had a guard set over Amend in the marMng she was taken to prison. There was found upon her a passport of the police of Seville. deli vered also in the name of her husband, whose place of abode she has obstinately refused to r:vesl. The Royal Almanack for 11121'i mentions the Infant Don Carlos by the title of Generalissimo of the Forces by sea and land, and the Infant Don Francisco de Paula by that of Captain• General Of the Artistes, which answers to the rank of Marshal in France. (From the P;:ote of Friday.] PARIS, JAN. 2f.. We have this moment received a letter from Madrid of the 16th, in which we find some explanations of the reports which had been spread of a tupture between Spain and England. It seems that this report was not wholly destitute of foundation. The latter Ca binet had in fact clpimed the execution of the decree of the Cortes of 11123, relative to the indemnity due from Spain to the English merchants, whose property had been seized by pirates front the Ilavannah. The Spanish o.ivernment persisting in not giving any answer, end the opening of the Parliament being attend, Mr. Canning sent instructions to Mr. Limb to require a decision in 24 hours; and in ease of a refusal, he ordered him to declare that England would take possession of the Havanneh end in Porto Rico.

Last night the Timmla papers of Saturday reached our office; we have given extracts from them in a preceding column. An autograph letter from the Emperor Nicito- LAS to General Mit ORADOWITSCH will be found to be an interesting document. The great fair of Leipsie is reported to suiFer severely from the general stagnation which prevails every where in commercial transactions. The Hungarian Diet is still at variance with the Aus trian court. The Archduke PALATINE was again em ployed at Vienna in his mediatorial office. It was ex pected that all would be amicably arranged. The Ottoman soldiery assembled in the plains of Adri anople in order to march to Western Greece in aid of the army of the Seraskier RENSCIIID, have tumultuously re fused to enter upon a winter campaign. The conse quences of this disappointment to the Seraskier will be to frustrate entirely his future plan of operations. 'The Greek cause wears altogether the most favourable aspect at this moment. We have received the Arslrian Observer of the 18th instant. The last accounts from St. Petersburgb stated that the tranquillity of that capital continued unbroken, and that the peace of the rest of the empire had not been in the slightest degree disturbed. The oath of allegiance to the new Sov ism N was taken everywhere readily, 'and with evident tokens of satisfaction. The intelligence of the Emperor ALEXANDER'S death was known to the Turkish Government on the Gth or Bth ult., but not generally by the public at Constantinople till the 15th. Though it had excited great alarm among the Franks, the Turks appeared quite indifferent with regard to the event. The pars fell to '220. The Greeks who had landed in Candia are stated to be completely driven from that island. They had retired to the Isle of Carabusa, of which they had obtained posses sion by stratagem. Carabusa is not above a mile in cir cumference, produces nothing, has but little water, and is defended by a small fort, which lies on an eminence, and is provided with a few cannon. The last number of the Austrian Observer is occupied with an attack on the French opposition papers, especially the Journal des Debats, which it charges with endeavour ing to revive the revolutionary spirit by the circulation of false alarms, and tissues of the most hateful calumny. J.tx. 17.-31etalliques, 92 4-6ths ; Bank Sharer, s11W 740 tb- We proceed, according to our promise, to give a com pendious view of the causes which led to the war at present carrying on against the Burmese,—a war which many in this country, either from party feeling or from imperfect information, represent as originating in the rashness of LORD Am HERVT, and as risking in its result the safety of our empire in India. Ilad the Governor-General brought on this contest with the view of extending the British dominion in this quarter of the globe, such a po licy would no doubt have been greatly open to accusa tion. We shall, however, have no difficulty in showing that it was the menaced tranquillity of those dominion s which alone led to the rupture with the King.of Ara; and that war. was.:nodered unavoidable by the hostile indications, on his part, which had long preceded it. In the year 1753, Alompra, who, from the humble con dition of a huntsman, took the then fallen fortunes of his country under his command, led his Burmese countrymen against their Peguyian conquerors, and not only defeated the lit NG of l'ept, but obtained possession of Asa, the capi tal ; and, annexing the whole to his own empire, founded the Burmese dynasty, and made himself one of the most powerful sovereigns of the East. lie died in the year 1760, while engaged in an• arduous contest with the Siamese, whose territory he was desirous of annexing to his con quests. SU ESIDUA Pi, his-son, who succeeded to the sove reignty, manifested the same ambitious and warlike propen sities, and though he ultimately failed in securing his con quest of• Siam, by tl:e insurrection of its subjects in favour of a relative of their dethroned sovereign, he afterwards suc ceeded in subduing the kingdom of Arracan ; and the race of the Golden Emperors, inheriting, as by descent, the same desire to aggrandise their dominion, continued successively to make war upon the neighbouring states, till, at length, their territorrextemled to Me British ft wilier. From the time they thus reached the possessions of the Fart India Company, they have lost no opportunity of attacking them. Our Ambasaatlors at AV A have been uniformly treated in a manner which sufficiently manifested the hostile feelir.gs of the Birmans towards the authority they represented. • It requires no pains to prove that the movements of a great military power which had tbos•gmtusllyr usurped its way into our neighbourhood, could nail* belieltt with' indiffetence. The ambitious spirit of the present Kim. of ATA, and his projects of encroachment and usurpation, be came every day more apparent. The following facts will demonstrate this. In 1801, a Birmese force entered the British territory, and stockadal themselves in considerable strength. GEN IRA I. ERNIIINB was sent out against but he succeeded in bringing.about an amicable arrange, went, and the affair terminated.
