I 3ptsin Dookins A.D.C. arrived early this morning, bearing a despatch from his excellency, the Commander in Chief, a copy of which is published for general information. Head-quarters, Rhurtpore, Jan. 19. To the Right lion. Lord Amherst, Governor-Demerol. &e. &e. Mx LORD—I have the ostisfaction m acquaint your Lordship, that the town and citadel of Bhurtpore fell, yesterday morning, to the British army under my command. Since my despatch of the 11th inst. the whole attention of the engineers was directed towards the completion of the mines under the projecting bastion on the left, and the north-east angle on the right. On the 14th inst. a mine, ander the bastion on the left, was pere:pitataly exploded, and failed in its object. I therefore di rected two more mines to be driven into that bastion, which were brown on the It and, with the aid of a day's battering, an ex cellent breach was made. The esplosion of the mine under the north-eta: angle, at eight yesterday morning, wu the signal for the storm, when the columns, composed of Brigadier-Orneral 11•Combe's brigade on the right, and Brigadier-Oencral titlivards's brigade on the left, advanced with the greatest order, gillsntry, and steadiness t and, notwithstanding a determined opposition on the part of the enemy, carried the breaches. in the course of two hosts, though vigorously and bravely defended at every gate-way and bastion, the whole rampart surrounding the town, together with the command of the gates of the citadel, were in our possessior.; Major-General Maas bavin moral his column to the left, until he met a netachment of his Majesiy's 14th foot, commanded by alsjoe Everard, at the Kombhcer (late. The citadel was surrendered at about four o'clock. I meet to state, that the mine, having exploded in an tine*. petted direction. several men of his Majesty's 11th foot, at the „head of the column of attarh.lost their lives, and Brigadier-Oeneral 110 mil be, Brigadier Patton, and Captain Irvine, Major of Bri gade of Engineers, received severe contusions. Having directed Major-fieneral Sleigh, commanding the ca. eairy. to prevent the escape of the enemy's troops after the assanit, I em happy to say that he made such a disposition of his forces, that he succeeded in securing Doinjun Salt, who, with his wife. two sons, and a hundred and sixty chosen horse, attempted to force • passage through the Bth Light Cavalry. cannot compute the loss of the enemy at less than four thou. sand killed, and, owing to the disposition of the cavalry, hardly a man hearirg anus escaped; consequently, as by the surrender of the wens all the stores, arms, and ammunition, are in our posses. con, I may as; that the whole military power of the Ilhiaripme St.tre bas been annihilated. The prisoners, alter having been dis armed, were set free. _ _ I have the pleasure to acquaint your Lordship. that the conduct every one engaged was marked by a degree of zeal which calls for my unqualified approbation : but I must particularly remark the behaviour of his Majesty's lath Regiment, commanded by Mgior Everard, and the 321 h, commanded by 3lajor Fuller : these corps having led the columns of apiault. by their steadiness and de. termination decided the events of the day. Two companies of the la: European Regiment, leading& small column under Lieutenant. Colonel Wilson. cu-operating with slajor.lieneral Nicolls's attack, Whined with equal gallantry. The 6th Regiment of Native Unity. commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Pepper: one wing of the 41st. by Major Hunter ; the 23J, by Lieutenant-Calonel Nation ; the 31st, by Lieutenant-Colonel lisddeley ; the fieth, by Lieute nant-Colonel Bowyer ; the grenadier eonmany of the 35th, and light company of the 37th. which corps followed the Europeans in the assault, proved themselves worthy of the distinguished places they held ; as did the Sirmoar battalions, which covered the aarance. I beg to acquaint your Lordship, that since I aunmed the com mand of this army, I have received the mu t effectual support and mistletoes lrom Blajora-General Reyneil and Nicolla. The excel lent disposition* made by them for the attack, as well as the man ner in which they conducted it, entitle them to my warmest thanks ; and I therefore beg most strongly to recommend them to your Lord. •hip's notice. Brigadier MacLeod, C. 8., commanding the artillery ; Brigs. diem Hetzler sod Brown. as well as every officer and private of the artillery, performed their arduous and fatiguing duties through out the siege in the most exemplary manner, and will, I trust, meet with your Lordship's approbation. Brigadier Anhui'', C. 8., and the Engineer Officers, as also the Native Officers and private* of that valuable corps, the Sappers and Miners, and the Pioneer corps, performed the harassing duties al lotted to them with a cheerfulness, courage, and zeal, which de mand my acknowledgmen•a ; and I beg to recommend them to •eur Lordship accordingly.

I must also bring under your Lordship's particular notice Lieu tooant-Colonel Skinner, and the two regiments of Native irregular tAvalry under his command, who bare performed every service Mat has been required of them in a manner which merits my entire approbation.

Despatches have been received from Brigadier Smelt, by the Hon. Comps-y . ls steam-vessel Enterprise, which left Rangoon on the 13th instant, containing the following highly important telligcnce:— It appears that the sloop of war, Champion, sailed the 9th inst. for Calcotta, with Captain Snodgrass on board, bearing despatches which announce that Major-General Sir..,. Campbell reached Pa tanagoh on the 27th ult., and that negotiations were opened by the Burmese Chief.; on the 30th ult. A treaty of peace ass agreed to, according to the terms dictated by the British Commissioners, and signed on the 3d inst. The principal articles are stated to be, the cession of Auam and its dependencies ; of the four districts of Arracan ; and the provinces on the coast Of Tennasserhn. viz. Ye, Ta►oy, and 3lergui, to the Honourable Company. Munni pore to be given to Rajah Oumbheer Sing, and one crore of rupees to be paid. Stipulations also have been made for the security of the Peguers who may have joined or satiated us during the war. It was stipulated that the treaty should be ratified by the King of Ava, and returned to the Commissioners at Maloun, with all the European prisoners in Ara, and an instalment of three lacks of rupees on or before the 18th instant. It was expected that Colonel Tidy would reach Rangoon with the ratified treaty about the 24th instant, rnd his Majesty's ship Alligator was under orders fur bringing on the despatches. Brigadier Smelt reports, also, that Col. Pepper's column marched from Pegu on the 23d oh. and arrived at Shoregem on the 3d in stant, which place he found evacuated, and had succeeded in get ting back the inhabitants with their families. On the 7th instant he detached Lieutenant-Colonel Conry, with the 3d Madras N. 1., to take possession of Zittoun, where a small force of the enemy was said to be stationed. They proved, howeter, to be very numerous, and strongly stockaded, and, after a most gallant attempt to carry the work by escalade, the detachment was obliged to retire with loam; Lieut.-Colonel Conry and Lieutenant Adams being killed, and two officers wounded, with 12 Sipahees killed and 21 wounded. Colonel Pepper was expected to arrive at Zittoun on the following day, and recommence the attack with his whole force, unless be should, in the mean time, receive the orders, informing him of the conclusion of the Treaty of Peace at Patanagoh, and directing his return to Pegu. The country round Shoregem is represented as being moat beau. liful and futile, and the population considerable. The Skiing River is said to be navigable foe boats to Tough°, all the year round.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 30, Mit The French Papers to the nth inst. have been received. We subjoin a few extracts :- 1 From the Courtier Fvoncair.l The Emile, which was in such haste to inform us body of the news received from Vienna. of the acceptance of the ultimatum, says nothing of the intelligence which arri►ed by express from that city to-day. We do not know the contents. We only know that the Illetalliques had fallen 2 per cent., and that the arrival of the courier caured several others to be despatched to different com mercial towns. [From the CmittitutionneLl TRIESTE, APRIL 16. The Captain of • vessel arrived from Zante in sixteen days, announces that Ibrahim Puha Ass left • weak garrison at lilts solonghi, and that he has gone to the Mores with the rest of his troops. The Turco-Egyptian fleet set sail for Napoli di Romania. Two frigates and two brigs of this fleet made an attack on the 18th of April on the squadron of MlauHs, who retired to the Archipelago. The first cause of the misfortune of the Greeks was a stratagem of the Gallo-Egyptians, who displayed the Greek standards, and induced the Greeks to make their sortie at an improper time. [From the Journal des Debutr.i ?RIME, MAY 15. After the fall of Ilissolonghi it was supposed that Ibrahim Pacha wou!d march by Lisadia to Athens; but we learn that he returned to the Mores, and it is Napoli di Romania that he threatens. The concentration of his forces in the Mores proves that he has suffered considerable losses. It is said he has lost the renegade Seve and General Boyer. It is affirmed that Notes Botsaris and the Bishop of Rogous are in the number of those who perished in the confla gration at SI issolonghi. The cruelties practised upon the Christians who fell alive into the hands of the Egyptians were incredible. Se veral were crucified, and burnt at a slow fire. Infants were thrown into the sea. It is said that Ibrahim attacked Petala, where a number of Greeks had taken refuge.

The despatches from the East Indies, in anether part of our Paper, do not contain any account of the ratification of the treaty with the King of AVA. In alluding to the terms of the treaty, they show still more clearly that our contemporaries were completely mistaken in asserting that the whole of the Burmese coast, including Pegu, was to be ceded to the East India Company. The stipulations in favour of the Peguers who assisted us in the war evidently imply that their country is still to remain In the hands of its former masters. In the Mensaa-,r,0 Argentina we find a number of re marks on an article in a periodical work published at Lima in English and Spanish, under the title of the Peruano. , These remarks are of very considerable interest, as they corroborate, in the most remarkable manner, the observa tions which we made some time ago about the probability of dissensions among the South American States. The subject upon which the Peruvian Editor has animadverted is connected with the measures adopted by the Government of Buenos Ayres, with reference to the Congress of Panama. He considers these measures as useless and evasive, and takes occasion from them to asperse both the people and Government of the rival Republic. He argues, in the first place, that the Act of Congress was useless, because the legislative sanction thus given to the principles of interna tional policy cannot give any further strength or stability to these principles. In the second place, he asserts, that the laying down of these principles was useless, because the majority is to decide all questions in the intended Con gress, and the minority is obliged to conform to that deci sion, whether consistent with their principles or not. The Peruvian proceeds to offer arguments, to show that the conduct of Buenos Ayres was not only useless, but wrak and unmanly. He asserts that the Government of that State is in fact afraid to declare frankly that it will riot concur in the Congress of the Plenipotentiaries ; and that, on the other hand, it has a great jealousy of the designs which the President of Colombia may probably endeavour to carry into effect by incana of the Congress. " Peru and Colombia," adds the article in question, " have proved sufficiently, and so as to place it beyond a doubt, that they do not stand in need of Buenos Ayres to con quer their independence, nor to maintain themselves in the rank which they have acquired." The Men rage:-o answers these questions in a way which ap pears to he satisfactory, but so as to show, in no very equi vocal manner, that the seeds of discord arc in a fair way to produce abundant fruit, if a combination of struts, similar to that in Europe, does not put an end to these differences. The article leads us further to conclude that Colombia and Buenos Ayres are by no means likely to concur in any attack upon Brazil ; and we are therefore of opinion that the Emperor stands firm in his situation. The question of his return to Portugal, to our minds, seems by this to be almost decided in the negative. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The speculators for a fall are anticipating success from the near approach of the general election, which causes heavy sales. and consequently depression. Consols opened at 7 1 J B. but they after wards declined to B A ; but as it was a holiday at the Bank, the business ass extremely limited. India Stock was 237. Other English Securities remained stationary. The Foreign Market was in a very languid state, and the prices of Saturday may be very ge. ncrally referred to as the quotations of to-dsy. Extract of a letter dated Madrid, May :m--"The Jesuits continue to be the objects of the favours of Government in this country. They have just obtained the privilege of being allowed to introduce, free of every specks of duty, all sorts of provisions and effects, which may be intended for the consumption or for the use of their convents. This is a bit of a mine given them to work. The privilege is to continue fir forty years." Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Con stantinople, dated April 2.5 :—" By advices from Smyrna of the 20th instant the boats of his Majesty's ship Alacrity have been attacked by some Greek pirates, and an officer and four men wounded. The Rose sloop of war had just arrived there, and it had been arranged that the Sultan, Sappho, and Aurora, should wait for convoy."

If DRURY-LANE THEATRE. A new maaical Romance, entitled the Knights of the Cross; or, the Hermit's Pre.phre . y, was last night per. formed at this theatre. The piece is entirely taken from the Talisman, one of the tales of the Crusaders, which is condensed within the narrow limits of three short acts. The history, or plot of the Romance, commences with a quarrel which takes place between Richard Cteur-de-Lion (Mr. AVallack), and Leopold, Archduke of Austria (Mr. Mercer), in consequence of the latter having placed the standard of Austria on St. George's Mount, in juxtaposition with thin of England. Richard, who has been cured of a dangerous distemper by the physician of Saladin, (who in the sequel is discovered to be Saladin himself, in disguise) goes from his sick chamber to the Mount, and, tired with indiums. non at the insult offered to his country, with Ids own hand tears down the rival standard, and places Sir Kenneth of Scotland (Mr. Bennett) to guard it. The force of love, however, is more predominant with the gallant Scot than the calls of duty. By means of a ring, which he knows to be that of his mistreats, Edith Plantagsnet (Miss Stephens), lie is seduced from his post. He has an interview with Edith, in which he discovers that he hail lost his 1110TIOUT, and the lady her heart. During his absence the English standard ineets the fate from the Alumna of Monisetrat (Mr Howell) which that of Austria did from Richard. Though the Knight bad deserted his station, the post was net entirely un guarded ; ter a mastiff of Sir Kenneth's seizes the Marquis in the act, who with difficulty escapee the vengeance of this dog of a Chriwirat. The animal is badly wounded in the encounter, and afterwards cured by the Infidel physician (Saladin). Richard visits the post next morning. and consigns the Knight to death. The Queen, Edith, and the Dennis of Engaddi, intercede in vain fur the !ilea the recreant Knight, hot what is denied to women and priest is conceded to the unbelieving physician, to whom Richard owed his recovery. Sir Kenneth afterwards finds means, in the disguise of a mute, to reconcile himself to Richard, whose life lie saves from the dagger of an assassin, at the peril of his own. At the ceremonial of the standard, the Marquis of Montserrat is seized by the faithful mastiff, which was taken to the pageant to produce the discovery of the person who had torn down the English standard. He and Sir Kenneth fight ; the former is vanquished in the duel, ant confesses his guilt. In Sir Kenne.th is discovered the Earl of Huntingdon, Prince of Scotland, who marries Edith Plantage ns and in the physician, Saladin, WIID becomes the friend of Richard. And so is the prophesy of the Emir of the Desert veri , tied, that Edith should marry a Christian, and make fur Richard a powerful enemy a steadfast friend. The plot of this piece has no merit; the dialogue is common-place, and entirely void of interest. We find Richard Me Lion-hearted address his fair cousin, Edith, in such terms as these: " You would, no doubt, prefer a living Turk to a false Scot;" and when the lady says she will leave until their sentiments arc more in unison, he says, " Well, these women will bare the last word." The music is, on the whole, pleasing; and some of the airs possess much merit ; the following, sung by Miss Stephens, we selett as the hest:— Memory, thou bane or blessing, As our path of life is cross'd A bliss, while blisses still possessing, A bane, when happiness is lost. Deep in his tablets, misery Is writ with steady hand ; But, ah ! our pleasures —memory But traces in the sand. The sweets of love, the joys of youth, The bloom of health, and beauty's pow'r, And manly faith, and maiden truth, Live in memory but an hour. But hatred, with I-. er frowning brow, And falsehoods, that the truest sever; The heart-ache, or a moment's woe, In memory live for ever. The soldiers' glee, " We soldiers think," is pretty, and was encored. Miss Stephens also sung, with ad mirable taste and execution, what appeared to us an old air, "0 say, what is the soldier's doom. The actiug of Mr. Wallack was good, the singing of Miss Stephens excel lent ; and after, these two individuals, the performance of the Mastiff' outstripped that of his biped competitors. The piece was announced, amidst loud applause, for re petition on Wednesday next ; notwithstanding, it does not require the withcraft of a wizard, nor even of the Emir the Desert, to prognosticate that it will not have, to speak technically, a run. VAUXHALL GARDENS. This Royal place of resort threw open its portals last evening to the public, under circumstances of strong ex citement to those who admire all that is beautiful in song. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that at a for mer period this place of amusement stood nearly first among those where the public were gratified with the ex hibition of vocal talent. Of late, however, this peculiarity has not been so conspicuous, and although many successful attempts have been made to improve the amusements in various ways, it has been left to the present proprietors to redeem its honour, by presenting such a host of talent, as if not to rival, at least to compete with the fondest remem brances of a bygone generation. In order that the public should have the opportunity of hearing those orchestral efforts with due effect, the rotunda has been converted into a most capacious concert room, the orchestral space being greatly enlarged, boxes formed on each side, and a gal lery extending down the avenue leading to the theatres, and the floor of the rotunda occupied by forms capable of hold ing about Sno persons, independent of the space under the gallery. The whole is lighted by a very magnificent chandelier of thirty-six lights, suspended from the centre of the room, the proportion!' of which are admirably adapted to the space necessary to be illuminated. The hail room leading out of the concert room is adorned by various panoramic views by Thorne, of Florence, Turin, Naples, the falls of Tivoli, and the bridge of Gomlo, all ot' which do infinite credit to the artist. The ceiling represents a grove of trees, and, with the waterfall at the bottom, gives a most striking and finished effect to this admirable promenade. The concert consisted of two parts, and was most admirably sustained throughout. The vocal performers were, Madame Cornega, Miss Stephens, and Madame Vestris ; Signor de Begnis, :Messrs. Braham, Sinclair, Taylor, Durmastle, Robinson, 'Pinney, and Master Barker. Mr. Bishop presided at the pianoforte, and the band was ably led by Mr. Hooke. The selection was made from the works of Rossini, Braham, Bishop, &c., and was; without exception, executed in the very best tnanner. 'The performances commenced with " God save the King." Among our old friends, we had " Vice le Rol," from the Engli.l4 Fleet, by Mr. Braham and Madame Vestris ; In i n f anc y, by Madame Wattle ; and the " Death of Nelson," by Braham. Mies Stephens sang " Bid me discourse" with great effect. Of harmonized pieces we had " Zitti, zitti," " Under the Greenwood Tree," and " Giovannetti the Fate." Sinclair gave " My Love is like the red, red Rose," and " Araby, my noble steed," from Aladdin, with his usual ability. De Begnis was very great in " Non piu andrai, " and very comic in the harmonized parts from Barbiere di Sirt;;rlia : in the former he was loudly en cored. Charles Taylor gave a comic song, which alluded to the alterations contemplated in the management, in the observations of a friend, somewhat like " Damper Yates," who objected to theiehaving a Bishop for conductor, be cause be apprehended, if that were the ease, they could only have sacred music. Between the first and second acts of the Concert there was a delightful petit ballet performed in the theatre, called " I:lntrigue du Village," which was most pleasingly per formed, and introduced two new candidates for popular favour—Mademoiselle I'. Hos.signol, from Amsterdam, and Monsieur B. Vestris, from La Scala, at Milan. There are various other amusements to be brought forward ; but the state of the weather precluded their exhibition on this oc casion; the only cords attempted being musical ones. We cannot but think the proprietors of this establish ment are entitled to great praise for the manner in which they have come forward to restore Vauxhall to the rank it once held ; and we feel convinced that their efforts will be duly appreciated. We have long felt the necessity of a room so situated for morning concerts, and we feel assured, that under such regulations as the present management are capable of suggmting, the thing may 1:e Lrought to bear. It has long been a desideratum in the musical and fashionable world. The elements oti this tweet:ion seemed determined to put the arrangements announced by the Management to the test, for it rained in torrents the whole evening; however, little incon venience was felt by the company on that score, except that, as we have me:l6o:+M, the amusements were con fined to those that could be given in the Concert-room and Theatre. Nothing was done a la Nagai; and the fire works are in reserve for a more congenial state of atmos phere. Indeed, the performance we have noticed could scarcely be called more than a dress rehearsal; and we shall take an early opportunity of returning to the subject, we will not say under more favourable circumstances, but when the whole of the ei:tertainineuts provided by these enterprizing caterers for public gratification shall be in Atli force. We cannot conclude without expressing our h op , that the public will be presented with some instrumental performances by the talented individuals now gracin g !hi, country, in order to complete the work that has he m , ably begun; and, for their satisfaction v we have the aud io . I rity of Mr. Brabam for stating that this Concert-room i, one of the best for sound within his recollection. the proprietors roust have incurred a large expense by their I 1 present engagement s ; h ut we f ee l conv i nced that they win amply remunerated by a discerning and liberal public. 1 I.I7ERATURR. present thmllah - : JOURNAL OF A VOYAGE UP THE IBEDITrR RANEAN—By the Rey.

The first person of i mportance w f, n figures ic,. author's pages leSuleyman Ag a , t h e p resent C o ll ector at (; aaw s at Smyrna. This is the prison of whom Lord By myl—ron 0,4. in his notes to (.'slide flaccid : " Suicyman Aga. hi; Lordship, " hue Governor of Athens and now of Thebes, ‘ " lion vivant, and as social a being an ever sat crom-leggea at a tray or table." His social qualities. it appears, are presented by him undiminished: he invited the officers of the Cambrimai u:l3 entertainment at his country house, " which," eaya air. 641: " was considered so rare an instance of attention, as to eause spiel deal of commotion in Stnyrna, a like circumstance never hivir been heard of even by the oldest Frank inhabitants." After vies! ing the gardens, and even the interior of the harem, the company eat down to the feast of the gammnonsie 31ussulman. " Immediately small round tables were brought, up on w hi c h iht attendants placed salvers of fruit., anchovies, and other pico t " dishes, which were but the prelude to the coming entertainment. I observed the Aga, an the utmost mark of civility that he mud show, strike his toothpick into part of a pear, already Rep ented from the rind, and present it, with much polite's', to his nearest guest." " A hundred attendants at least bustled about, bearing cold punch in small china cups and glasses, with reasonable ode. rity. A quarter of an hour after. the tables were removed and others brought. In this instance their disposition varied one nil fixed up at the end where the Aga sat, and two others in the opp c , site and more remote compartment. At each of these • familiar friend of our host did the honours of the table. At the table Titre I sat was Hassan. or Vehib (for It seems he has two appellations), ci-devant Packs of Seto (and by whose orders was committee the was, nacre of that place), whose fawning aytophantish look torrent/need well with the unfavourable impressions we had long ago neared, Heil flabby cheeks, auntiounted by small eyes, that twinkled east becehanalianly, and garnished with a nose an crooked as his ova soul, is the impartial, eithough indeed nut alluring, deseriptioa vf his appearance." Thus placed, the party followed the example of their host, std stretched their hands into the dishes, and in this manner masted tit luxuries of six-andsthirty courses, the particulars of which weans fully recorded by Mr. Swan. Of the heroic Cansris, our author gives the following Mort Ac count :—" I had very fortunately an opportunity of seeing tEs celebrated man, who had but just arrived at Hydra, front EON. There is an expression of great mildness and benevolence to his countenance, bnt it would not at all convey an idea of the Gusei ; his nose is small, almost coma/ red, though his eye is good: he liss a deeply enibrowned complexion, and his mature is low, bat Leis well merle." By the favour of Mr. Swan was permitted to exatnine a fire-ship. by the dexterous management of which the Greeks have rendered themselv . .si so formidable to the Turkimh fleets; the following is the author's description :—" The hold is partitioned off into small stalls, without each of which Pear& a barer) of gunpowder, containing about thirty okra (about 82jlee,): on each side a prickly plant, called in Gteek TI: vmaria, a species 4 thyme, which kindles readily, is deposited.

The one I saw was of the largest, and had been an Austrian merchantman. taken with i. cargo of Turkish ammunition." Mr. Swan relates many anecdotes, to illustrate the respect which is shown to the British flag, and to Englishmen generally. through out the Archipelago; and we ftel happy io declaring that we be- lieve it does not proceed more from the maritime super:ority of Great Britain, or the consistency of her policy, than from the firm and humane conduct of the British Officers comment:tug on that mutation. We pass over the anecdotes relating to Trelawney, who, together with his wise, daughter of the late Curran Clint.. Odysseus, was fur a short time on board the Cambrian; and hasten to the moat novel and interesting part of our author's writ. tive—we mean the description of the camp and person of Ibrahim Pasha:— " A laxly of men, who were leisurely passing us in their return, we obtained as a guard. They were organized Arabs. and their Captain carried a thick stick in his hand to drive them forward ; this he applied with apparent good-will to the shoulders or any stragglers from the company. When se reached the main camp, which might be four miles from the place of action, such a scene of confusion displayed itself as I had never before 'hoe...med.— I liliserable-looking beings were every where stretched upon the ground, oppressed by extreme fatigue, whil e t h e w h o l e character of what owed reminded me of nothing so much as the turbulence. without the nierriment, of an English fair. There was hut one tent in the plain, and dins their ragged, wretched bodies, were ex posed to the burning heats of noon, .except in eases where olive trees supplied a shade; but the greater part of the army were en. tirely deprived of suc h protection. The moat fortunate had eta. tioned themselves on the banks of a beautiful river or stream (the Euratas), which was full of excellent water, and as clear as crystal. broad, but shallow. " We were tooducted by the Arab guard, who attempted most unsuccessfully, as it appeared to me, a regular march,to the couage in which Ibrahim Pacha, pipe in hand, was couched. He is a mout, broad, brown-faced, vulgar-looking man, thirty-five or forty years of age, marked strongly with the small-pox. His countenance pnssesses little to engage ; but when he speaks. which he dews with considerable energy and fluency, it becomes animated and whet striking. He frequently accompanies his words with a long drawl ing cry. which to European ears sounds ridiculously enouqh. tits manner carries with it that sort of decision, which is perhaps the common appanage of despotism ; deprived of this, he would re semble an uneducated hsrd-favoured seaman of our own country_- and I think I have somewhere seen his exact counterpart; but it may be merely fancy. He was plainly clothed, for a Turk • and his camp establishment. altogether, had none of that parade and luxury, which we are accustomed to attach to eastern warfare." " On returning from a long and, to say truth, a tedious confe rence of three hours and upwards, a curious object presented itself in the thousand& of Idea that bluz.ed below the rat on which the Paella bad fixed himself. ‘l'e were provided with a miserable hovel, totally destitute of erery species of accommodation, where we were to rest for the night, and, after considerable delay, four or five indifferent Turkish names were sent us. We lead to dip our fingers iota them, for want of spoons—which are usual even with Turks, and to drink water out of a narrow-necked leather bottle, which was common to a dozen dirty wretches beside, who alit in our apartment. But travelling in these countries is no bad anti dote to fastidiousness." Nato return to the aniline.. As we perceive that he irainuates iris intention to favour the public with the continuadon of iris travels, we take the liberty of recomireniling to him to abandon in future the style of a journal, and to give his narrative a more i:iirested form. Writing by way of journal, i t i s true , saves the author a great deal of trouble in the selection and arrangement of his ma terials; but, on the other hand, if the journal be very faithfully kept, it is apt to inflict on the reader a Brest &al of uninteresting stuff, and cannot at any rate be tolerated in a work which minds beyond the limits of a single volume. SUICIDE AT CHELTENHAW—(Extract of A letter from Cheltenham, dated May 28.)—Various rumours are afloat in this town, as to the probable cause of the lamentable suicide of Captain Layman, on Tuesday last. It is gene rally believed, from the various eccentricities committed by this gentleman during many weeks past, that his intellect must have been very materially impaired, but from what cause it is impossible to ascertain. Ile was rc a rcrly ever out of temper but on matt ers re l a ti ng to cu li nar y affairs: a tureen of oiled butter, or a dish of fish brought tee tsble under-done, would throw him into a most violent passion, aril the poor cook, for such neglect, generally received a most severe lecture during this paroxysm of anger; after which it would subside, to ma k e way for the blue devils, which kept possession of him for many hours afterwards.
