The Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette, published yester day, contains several despatches relative to the Burmese war. Some of these have been already given from the Calcutta Papers. The others are as fallow : India Board, April 20, 11123. A despatch has been received at the Emit India House from the Governor-General in Council at Fort William, in Bengal, with in. closures ; of which the followingare extract. and copies : Extract from a Letter from the Governor-General in Council to the Seitves Commitfte of the Coim or Directors of the East India Company, dated Fort William, 7th December, 1024. We have received despatches from Brigadier-General Sir Archi ' bald Campbell, announcing the very gratifying intelligence of the capture of the valuable town and port of 31artebsn, by a detach. ment of Europeans and Natives, under the command of Lieutenant. Colonel Godwin, of his Majesty's 41st regiment, and a party of British seamen of hie 31sjesty's ships Arachne and Sophie. Co pies of Sir Archibald Campbell's despatches are transmitted as numbers in the packet, and will, we measured, be perused by your Honourable Committee with sentiments of great satisfaction. We have revived retorts from the north.ea.tern frontier of vari ous successes gained by our troops in Assam, over the Burmese Governor and the small remnant of his army. The mistily in that quarter are obviously in a state of the greatest alarm, amiaasiously endeavouring to efre:t their escape through the passes into Munn'. pore. The Burman troops in 3luntpore are said to have received orders to retire rapidly !arm the capital, and reports from that guar ' ter state that the interior of the Burman Empire is ip a very agi tated and disturbed condition, in consequence of the Siamese hay ing invaded it in great force. Extract from a Letter from Lieutenant-Colonel Richards, Corn. minding in Assam, to D. Scott, Esq. Agent to the Governor. General, on the North-East Frontier, dated on the River, off flowatiatty, 15th November, 1824. I commenced operations about the 20th ultimo, by detaching Mor'. Cooper and \Vetere, the former to Kelliabar, and the latter to Rajachokey, with the intention of repossessing ourselves of the country west of Kullishar, which is as much as I can do, ban; without the means of marching a corps in the interior, which I con sider absolutely necessary. From theresult o! several successful enterprises, of which I have the pleasure to send you copies, I am happy to say this; object has been accomplished ; but as the Boom Rajah and Ills followors are still on the borders, I have sent orders and instructions to Minors Cooper and Waters to attempt their destruction, and I have every hope they will fall into our hands, or be obliged to try the road to Munipore, in which case their annihilation is certain, as the Sighs, will no doubt cut them up. Then follow the despatches of Majors Cooper and Wa ters, detailing the facts stated by Lieut.-Colonel Richards. The last of these we subjoin : Copy of a Letter from Major \\ - stern to Lieut.-Colonel Richards, dated Natngong, 6th November, 1824. Stn,—ln continuation of my despatch. of the 3d instant, I have the honour to report, that early on the following morning informa tion wu given to me that the main body of the enemy, under the Boors, or 3loogaum Rajah (the Burmese Governor of Assam) had quitted the stockade, in which they had taken poet at Narngong, and had moved to another situation, with the intention of retreat-1 lag across the hills into 3lunnipore; I accordingly ordered out a strong reconnoissance, in the hops of surprising them, or at least of compelling them to retire within their stockade ; and having a sufficient party for the protection of the guns and fleet, I proceeded with Lieutenants Neufuille and Jones, and Mr. Assistant-Surgeon Stewart, towards Nantgong. After marching a few miles I received intelligence that the enemy had commenced their flight towards the hills, leaving a Fookan and eighty Burmese to corer their retreat ; in consequence i pushed on, but was not able to corer the distance in one march, and after con tinuing it for twenty.five miles, bivouacked for the night. The next morning I advanced and occupied the stockade, which I found quite evacuated by the enemy, who had gained too much upon us render a pursuit practica ble, unless by the cavalry. From the villages I learnt that immediate ly on the alarm being given by the fugitives train Rahachokey, of our attack on them, and the loses sustained, together with the appearance of the wounded, the main body of this post were seized with the utmost panic and consterna tion, and the Boorah Rajah and Fookans determined on instant and precipitate flight : this they effected, leaving behind them all their baggage, plunder, military store, and heavy property ; the greater par : of the plunder was immediately seized and secured by the vdlagers, and we found the stockade already much de stroyed. We have captured twenty iron guns, a number of boxes of powder, a manufactory of whirb had been established, and for which the materials capturel are of a superior quality. three war boats (one very large), the state boat of the Boors Chief, and a number of small ones. From the appearance of the stockade, and the intelligence gained from the sillsgers, I am of opinion that our account of their num bers must have been correct, and that there were at least thirteen hundred in all, of whom four or five hundred were l'sseel Bur mese. The stockade is defended principally by stakes and spokes thickly set all round, but could not hare held out if attacked, being clearly exposed to the fire of the guns, and also commanded from the opposite banks of the river. The enemy appear to have been totally unprepared toe our rapid advance, as all their houses and works were in progress, in • very extended scale, as if for per manent residence. They have fled towards the hills, in a south. easterly direction ; but I have not yet been able to ascertain whether they will attempt to aoss; or whether they propose to skirt them. directing their sight towards their former positions at Illattroo and the eastward. I am informed by Lieutenant Neuronic, Deputy Assistant- Quartemiaster-General, that a body of Sauna and Unjphaa is said to be at Jon/moth ; but as they are now opposed to the Burmese. the latter must find themselves on every side beret with difficulties. I have left a subadar's party, with the gun-boats, at Rahacho key. I have taken post for the present at Namgong, pending your further instructiocs. I hive, he. E. F.

People ale however anxiods to learn how the Porte will take these proceedings. • . . PHRENO L OGY. On Saturdayevenlng last Dr . delivered hie Fifteenth Lecture, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on the Science of Phrenology. On commencing it he nbserred, that the study of the brain involved thee of all human knowledge. Many had found it convenient, for lack of tegument, to assert that Phrenology was dangerous ; if the stielice war not founded in truth there could be no danger, for it would not stand—if it was founded iii truth, it could not be dangerous. Danger could not result from the promul gation of natural truth. Examp:es, indeed, might be found in history, where the annunciat on of new truths was considered as dangerous, and, as such. had beet, endeavoured to be repressed,— The case of Copernicus was an instsree in point ; these, however, were not examples for imitation, but fur avoidance. For his part, he certainly did not think that there was any modern doctrine so dangerous as that of Phrenology. But to Whom was it dangerous 7 Could truth he dangerous to mankind at large ? Impossible . ! fur that would be to accuse the Divine Being }Who was the author of truth. Phrenology was demonises only to the; systems of those metaphysical philosophers which had hitherto been considered es infallible. Among the objections to it, it was said to lead to Ma terialism and Fatalism. Iffiese assertions were easily made, but they proceeded onle from those whose knowledge of the wiener did not warrant their in pmnneneing • judgment on the subject; they had taken only a superficial v.ew or the Phrenological System. The Anti-Phrenologist required the whole of the brain, weighing about three pounds. for the development of each particular pewee ; whereas the Phrenologist mairtained mast a small portion only was necessary. The Phrenological System did not teach that the brain was the mind, but merely that it was necessary to the manifests. tion of the mind. The other objection was, that it led to Fatalism. What was meant by this term ? Did it mean that the Creator had dictated laws which must be obeyed ? If merely this was meant, then certainly Phrenology did t eac h F a t a li sm . If aught else was meant, the charge was unfoureled. He would not go so far as some, who had affirmed the existence of innate ideas and predestined actions which were given and not to be controlled ; but lie would maintain, that man was submitted to the operation of immutable laws. These laws of nature were, he was sorry to remark, too much overlooked in the study of man, and from hence resulted the prevailing errors and prejudices. The body was submitted to laws which, it was well known, it was highly dangerous to invade...- The whole of nature was subjected to laws, some, perhaps, incom prehensible, but which must nevertheless be obeyed. Man was in no respect master of his fate. Did it depend on man's will "to be, or not to be?" Did it depend upon man to determine whether he should be the eldest or the youngest born ? Was it in his power to decide whether he would belong to a family that had hereditary diseases or not ? Snore were born deprived of one or more settees; was their state a consecrence of their will, or were they what they were ia spite of their will ? Phrenology taught that some men had naturally greater pewee of mind than others, in the same manner that some were born stronger in body than others. This was all the Fatalism that the Phrenological System taught. Several con ditions, he granted, were necessary to produce these differences.— One condition was, the disposition of the brain, according to which certain powers were strong or week; another was, that external circumstances should excite these powers to great activity. As to the connection between Predestination and Phrenology, he denied it absolutely. There was no relation between the subjects. The one was a theological doctrine—the other a scientific investigation. The only reason why the reverse had been maintained was, that the question had been discussed gravely by those who ought to have known better than to have listened to if. The Professor then came to the consideration of how far the passions could be controlled._ Let them look to animals. It was mud to punish a dog for being hungry, but • hungry dog would sometimes prefer re maining so, risen receive blows which he was aware would follow the seizure of meat. There were numerous other examples be fore their eyes terry day, in which the natural passions implseted in animals were effectually repressed. They often stir cats, mice, and birds confined togetirer in one cage. If the passions could be successfully opposed in animals they could also in man. There was no person who could say that he had not, at sonic dote, counterneted some one or other of big passions. In short, because the powers existed, it did not follow that it was obligatory to use them. Phrenology taught, therefore, the free condition of man. He did not, like asWe fancifulmperulaiors, teeohehat man had un bounded libert , for he wee subjected to the laws of c a u s e an d efflct. But although he had not unbounded liberty, yet to a cer tain extent he had it ; for if brute animals had a choice in the counterartion of their passim*, surely man, endowed as he was with such superiority of intellect, also had the same power. The first condition necessary to the existence of ftce-will was the pos -1 session of different powers. If a being had tut one power there was no choice. Thus, a stone had only t he power of fallin , and there fore had no choice or free will. An animal possessed only of one power could only exercise that power. Infants were juetly held not to be guilty if they did any thing that was wrong. Idiots, in the same manner, might steal, and yet have no moral guilt imputed to them, because they had not understanding to distinguish right from along, and thereby to guide their choice. In common life a man who had received a good educteion was more blamed for any had action he might commit than a leas informed man. The next print on which the Professor remarked was the influence of the understanding on the powers. The inclinations that were planted in our nature we could not eradicate, 1,. t it depended upon our selves to prevent their Influence on our actions, since the under standing governed our voluntary motions. Ile had explained, in his previous lectures how, with certain powers, animals acted in a certain manner. In proportion to the number of powers they pos sessed, they were chic to control their actions. Man, having more news than any animal, had therefore greater eapability to con trol his passions. The Professor then arrived at what lie tonsi -1 deed the most difficult point in the Phrenological System. In mankind they could talk of morality, but not so amongenimals. The number of powers strictly primitive, they had seen, amounted to 3e ; aria every system of laws that did not take the whole of them into consideration would not be permanent; for no legislation could annihilate tine of those powers. If laws were made to take away the faculties of sight or hearing, those senses would not the less exist. The laws of nature were the same in one country as in another : what was poison in England would not be alimentary in America. It was less agreeable, doubtless, to submit to the laws of nature than to fellow bur own caprices. He would take moderation in eating and drinking as an example : but every infringement of these laws would bring with it its own punishment. Some powers were naturally more active than others. Let them turn their eyes to the vegetable kingdom. The plant was confined to one spot, received certain nou. rishment, and converted it into its own nature, and had no choice. Animals had the faculty of locomotion, and in addition, in consequence, the sense of taste, by which they could discrimi nate their food. Man had many properties in common with ant male, as respiration, digestion, kr. : but man had, besides these, powers proper to himself. These tierwerrere glees to control the others. No animal except man had acquired mastery over others. Man did not perform this by powers eurnmgto him with other ani mals, but by the powers and facelties whi e he bad exclusively . If we we thus able to overcome the infen uf powers in other ant male, we ought surely to be able to overcome them within ourselves. But it unfortunately happened that our lower ftelinge, generally speaking, governed us ; though he hoped the time would come when that would cease to be the case. Our feelirgs at present al most entirely governed our superior powers. A mother loyal her children whether they werejust ortunmee BS In as those feel ings were strong, legislation would therefore be necessary. One I man would look upon the same object with very different feelings from another, and yet nothing was more comnion than to judge men by ourselves. Every individual was apt to mak e hi mse lf the standard cf all mankind. Phrenology corrected their erroneous views, and demonstrated the nature of the separate powers in each individual. It was by mutual forbearance that men lived in society. We all differed in some points, but we were not, on that account, to quarrel. Every act that man did was modified. In le gislation it was necessary that all the powers should be taken into consideration, or that code where they were not would ltgimperfect. It was another question to examine in what manner each power was to be modified. The Professor, after some general remarks, con cluded with saying that be would, in his next Lecture, endeavour to show what he called the character or modifications of eherarter in each individual, and the difficulties that lay in the way o: judging others by ourselves. A pamphlet has been published . by Mr. Harmer, in the case of Harris, the convict, wbei was lately executed at Newgate for robbin r and iiistreating a girl in the service of Mr. Hale, of Spitaltields. The object of the fairs and arguments adduced in this pamphlet is to prove Harris's innocence. Those who remember the great ability which distinguished Mr. Harmer's exertions in the case of Hol loway and Itaggerty will be prepared for the acuteness and ingenuity he evinces in the investigation of the case of Harris. Mr. Harmer appears to litre spared no pains in vindication of his wretched client both before and since his execution. The conclusion lie deduces from the whole is impressive : the fate of Harris, he observes, is a " strik ing example of the slight tenure by • hich men who have once placed themselves in the power of the police, bold their lives, and cf the security which honest and industrious pursuits afford against false accusations. No man of good character would have been selected as the object of such a, charge; anti against no one, bat a reputed thief, cenid it have been stmetsfe,l." LAW INTIMLIGENCir. IY.EDNESDAY, APRIL 20. This being the first day of Easter Term the Lord Chancellor was met in the Court of Chancery, Lincoln's Inn, by the Judges of the different Courta--Xte Vice-Chancellor, Master of the Rolls, the King's Attorney and Solicitor Generals, King's Sergeants at Law and Counsel, a number of Barristers, the lUarshal of the King's Bench, and Warden of the Fle-t, whom his Lordship entertained at breakfast ; after which the Judges proceeded to Westminster to open their respective Couns. COURT OF CHANCERY. GLAMORGANSHIRE DOWLAIS IRON COMPANY. WATKINS v. DIAVI.V.. Mr. StIODEN said he was instructed now to consent to the de livering up of the possession of these important works. agreeable to the order made to that effect ; and he moved that the purchase money which had been paid into Court by Mr. Bayley should be returned to that Gentleman. Mr. llanr, cc;tra, had no objection to the purchase money being returned to Mr. Bayley, but he had to move that Mr. Bayley should be ordered to par the costs of the motion that had been made to commit him to the Fleet for a breach of the order of Court, in nut having delivered up the possession earlier ; and also, the costs of the application to stay the proceedings antll the appeal could be heard. Mr. StroDEX could not oppose the payment of the costs of the motion to commit, but hoped the Court would reserve the con. sideration of the costs of the application to stay the proxedings. Mr. HART said, his Lordship had laid i t clown as an undeviat ing rule in the case of " Within v. %Tian," that where a party falls in a motion to stay proceedings until an appeal is heard, bestial! pay the costs. And if this rule was not to be broken in upon, he hoped to have the benefit of it. His Lon Dirite said, from what had now passed. it was clear that Mr. Sokien's client was retiring from his opposition, and cer tainly the I 'curt thought it would be better to have the important part of the case disposed of first t therefore his Lordship ordered that the possession should be delivered, that the prirchaae money should be returned, and that the consideration of the costs in dispute should be reserved for the present. wastaten r. SUNOERLAND AND OTHERS. Mr Hitat.fi said, the defendants were the executors of the late Mr. Mills, a solicitor, and the plaintiff was a gentleman, who had been a client of the deceased gentleman. As fir back as the year 1814, the plaintiff gave to Mr. Milli a warrant of attorney to die amount of Itt,oool. for debts then due and to became due. Further transactions went on; Mr. Farmer executed a mortgage to Mr. Mills; Mr. Mills filed a bill to have the mortgaged property sold Mr. Cooke was referred to, to take accounts between the parties, which taking of aeceunts went on till about a month ago, when Mr. Cooke gave notice to both parties that he intended to retire from theprofession altogether, and therefore he could not complete the arbitration. In consequence of that, the defendants have taken out execution on the warrant for 10,080 f. and were proceeding, by vie. tue of it, to take away a great d ea l o f f am ily plate, tic. although the mortgaged property was sworn to be much more than would satisfy their demand ; the present applicalon, therefore. was for an injunction to restrain them from proceeding under the execution. Injunction grated. GOCAT OF KING'S BENCH, IVIDNICIDAY, APRIL 20. This being the firm day cf Easter Term, the Learned Judges (with the exception of M r .

As soon as Mr. Brougham came into Court, the Lord Chief Jus- tice informed him that the Counsel could not agree on special case for the determining of the points raised in this cause, and that It must therefore comeon among the new trials of Michulmas Term.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2 The Judges did not come down till a quarter to two o'clock, and, after swearing in bail and hearing some motions of course, the Court adjourned. POLICE. QUEEN.SQUA E. Yesterday Peter ifreldi, a stone-mason's labourer, was brought up fee a final examination before E. Manzi -AND. Esq. charged with stealing a quantity of lead from the New Court of Chancery, in Westminster Hall. the property of his Majesty. henry Poulson, • Bow-street Truro', said, while he was on duty near the House of Lords, on Friday last, he saw a man going through St. Margaret's Church-yard, carrying a bag, and sisapect nig him, proceeded to examine the bag, which the prisoner instantly threw away, and ran off. Witness pursued him, and succeeded in taking him into custody. The bag contained a quan tity o f l ea d, which the prisoner said he had removed from Westminster Hall, for the purpose of conveying it to the House of Lords. Mr. Thomas Grundy, a master mason at the New Courts of Law, employs the prisoner as a mason's labourer. Witness gave no orders to bring lead from Westminster Hall, nor did he give any to take it away. David Colbeck, foreman to last witness, deposed, that he knew the prisoner, who had been employed for some time at the works, and was so on Friday last, in WeAminater hail. There was no orders given to the prisoner to carry away any lead. It is the plumber's business, after weighing the lead, to deliver it up to the Clerk of the Works, and then it becomes the property of his Ma jesty. Mr. James Cook, of Stable.yard, Chelsea College, labourer in trust at the New Courts, said the prisoner was employed by Mr. Grundy. Witness's department is to look over the building, and give out the different articles wanted. He cannot swear positively that the lead produced is the property of his Majesty, it having been melted down. Colonel Stephenson, belonging to the Board of Works, said, that lately several persons had been discharged from the building, in consequence of stealing lead. and there was no doubt that many of those employed ass i s t e d i n t h e transact i on . The prisoner, in his defence, stated that he found the lead in the street.--He was fully committed to Newgate for trial.
