The St. Perrsburgh Journal of the 27th August contains the following article:— " An English Journal says, that Ruajeet Singh, a Prince in the East Indies, had 50,000 men trained on the European fashion, and commanded by French std Russian officers. With respect to the latter we are authorised to declare that this statement is false, and that there never has been any Russian officer or soldier in the ser. vice of any Indian Prince." Letters from Belgrade speak of a new insurrection In Sepia. Accounts from Bucharest state, that on the 25th August, at ten l in the evening, a fire broke out in one of the two prisate houses occupied by the Ilospodar of Wallachia rind his Court, and at Imidnight both houses were consumed. Though they were si tuated in one of the most populous quinces of the town, the fire did not extend to any bther building except the court chapel. The two buildings whit were burnt, were not much better than great barns. They contained but little furniture, all of which has been saved, as well as a great iron chest, which was in the Prince's bed. chamber, and was tilled with English cartridges. It was so heavy that it required 30 men to carry it. There is no doubt of the fires having been the work of an incendiary, but the authors are, and probably will remain, unknown. The Atte:buret Gaeette contains a letter from Trieste, dated 27th August. The latest accounts which we have received from Missolonghi of the 12th A ugust, by way of Corfu, announce that the Greeks in the environs of Salons, Immediately after having learnt the defeat of the Seraskier before Missolonghi, lighted signal fires in the night, and having thus called all the inhabitants to arms, fell on the rear of Bedschid Pacha. A great number of the Turks who were re treating to Vrachipri, pursued by the garrison of Al issolonghi, being thus placed between two fires, were cut off by the Greeks, who also wok a great deal of artillery. According to letters from Corfu, a division of the Capitnn Pa cha's fleet, pursued by Dliaulis, has entered the Port of At lone, on the coast of Albania, after having lost three ships, which were burnt by the Greeks. The epidemic which rages at 31odon is so malignant that it ear-, rim off from 25 to 30 persons daily. It is said, that the Arabs brought it with them, and that it has already manifested itself at Suds, whence a fifth division of the expedition is expected to land in thelforea. It is thus that these expeditions, coming from I Egypt, threaten all Euterpe with the scourge of the plague. IFrota the Journal de Parie.l PAIII. SEPT. 11. It appears certain that the terms of a loan for Spain, at the head of which are the first Freech houses, have been concluded at Paris by M. Tessin, wbo enjoys all the confidence of King Ferdinand. It is added that the terms stipulated, and for which very great securities are given, cannot Fail to raise the valae of Ouebbard*s loan. It is even asserted that the Ambassadors of the Powers in alliance with Spain are well-inelined to support with all their influence the success of this financial operation, which is the most certaih step ' Spain can take towards a better order of things. Our correspondent at Nuremburgh writes to us—" The important news is this moment received, that the powers interested have been invited to report on the complaints which hare been made against Holland, relative to the Navigation of the Rhine."

The Journal des Debuts declares confidently that a negotiation has been concluded, by which the whole of Greece is placed under the protection of Great Britain. The Editor affirms, as we stated yesterday, that he has seen the documents. If so, we suspect he has had a sight Of what will never be visible to any other eyes than his (nth. There are more political obstacles to the acceptance of such a Protectorate, even if it were offered, than appear to be dreamt of in his philosophy. Mr. CANNING, we apprehend, would, without much hesitation, decline the magnificent proposal were it made, which it never will be. His sagacity would readily foresee the jealousies that would ensue, were Great Britain to take those desirable domi nions into her " holy keeping." AUSTRIA has, it is well •known, strong anti-republican heresies, and her consent would not easily be gained to such a guardianship. The Northern Eagle, too, would feel inclined to take them under the shadow of his wing, and Mr. CANNING would, soon have enough upon his hands, were he obliged to con test all the claims of appropriation that would be made to his proleges. The Greeks, unless they are to spill their blood and spend their strength in vain, must expect to se cure what they have been so long and an obstinately fight ing for—they, of course, will require a constitutional Go vernment to be guaranteed to them; they will require to !fie under free institutions ;if are to be deprived of , these, their swords will, of course, not rest peaceably in their scabbards. But are the feelings of the Holy Alliance quite in harmony with this spirit of patriotism ? Are its component Sovereigns prepared to admit a constitutional kingdom into the household of the Faith? Are they likely to observe with calmness the growth of an indcpend (tit Greek empire—occupied with the rights and welfare of mankind—spreading forth notions of moral freedom, and diffusing liberal opinions in every direction ? Is it likely that they will contentedly look on, and observe ,Greet Britain, in her protective capacity, watching over the preservation and integrity of this Democratic State, and forming a cordon ran' faire, that the Greeks may erect the great edifice of tliei freedom without disturbance? Will they not dread the progressive emancipation of the ' whole Continent under awls auspices? Would a sufficient pretest long be wanting for snaking such a combined attack upon Greece, as would be found essential for the ,preserva don of peace, and " the establishment of sueial order," and to embroil our Government in the fray ? It would be a libel on the Greek Government to suppose it capable of making the offer we advert to; nothing but the positive language in which the Freneltiaurtsalists de liver themselves on the subject, could have induced us to waste a word upon it. The Gruck Government, we feel assured, would never be imbecile enough to make such an' uffcr, nor would our Ministers pause a moment ever its rejection.

The Paris Papers_ received lost. night comeinuearealy one paragraph of political interest. The residence of the Hoapodar of iVallschia has been burned by an incendiary, it is.aupposed. It is reported that a new revolt has taken place in S:rvia. The Seraskier, RED3CHID PACIIA, all his retreat from Missolonghi, was attacked by a general in :.urrection of the population, who were informed of his defeat by signal. fires. A great portion of his artillery fell into the hands of the pursuers. The fleet of the CA• PITAX PACHA had been compelled to take refuge at At hos, on the coast of Albania. Three of his vends had been previously destroyed by the Greeks. An epidemic dims, rages among the Arabs at Motion. Some suspicion existed that this malady was the plague. The French journalists still continue to discuss, with much gravity, the question of an English Protectorate over Greece. In corroboration of the fact that the offer was mare by the Prtrritional Government at Napoli di Romania, two of Arse paPers publish the following extract from a letter written by a French officer in the Greek service to one of the members of the Greek Committee at Paris : "Narou, Ava 1. '• The Greeks. oppressed by the victorious arms of Ibrthim and having no hope of being assisted by the Christians of the Continent, have given themselves up to the English., %situ have thereby matte one of their most important acquisitions.

Th e i r 'naval superiority is a tower of strength ; their mountainous strong holds are so many rocks of defence. Combined with all the enthusiasm of their national character, these ere advantages incalculable; but, incalculable as they are, a spirit of dissension among their leaders may turn theni sU to nought. They May display, as they have done, an intrepid patriotiernlhey 'may revive their ancient glory by their brilliant achieve ments in the field ; but so long as they are disunited, their revolution canibring them no repose. Unanimity is every thing to the final triumph of their Cause: compared with this, everything else is of minor consideration. The chiefs must bring their collective energies to bear upon that one point—whatever it be—which it may be essential to carry. They must do this, not in one instance only, or on one occasion, but in every instance, and on all occasions. They must act upon it as upon a system, to which they must count everything rte subordinate. Conflicting plans, divided councils, the contentions of selfishness, the intrigues of ambition—what can these bring in their train but disas ter and ruin? Thus acting, the 'Greeks may indeed suc ceed in throwing o'f the Ottoman yoke, but they will have other masters and will wear other chains. But let them only at UNITED, and they have resources within them selves fully adequate to their own rescue, and to their own protection. We lay before out readers this morning eforne further intel ligence trom India, not less important than that which we published yesterday. Ily the arrival of the Albion we have Calcutta papers to the 12th of April. The report which we stated Testerday Is confirmed. On the day when the Albion sailed, a despatch was received by Mr. ADAM, the late Governor-General, from the Secretary to the Government, informing him that despatches baa just arrived from the Burmese territory, announcing the capture of Arracan, (the chief town of the province of Arracan, in the Bur mese Empire,) on the 31st of March, by the division un der the command of General MORRISON. The details of this success were not stated in the despatch. All the accounts agree in representing that the war was raging with greater violence than ever, but the skill and intrepidity of the British forces justify the expectation that the enemy will be compelled to sue for peace on such terms as the conquerors may choose to dictate. It is clear that no effectual resistance can be offered to the advance of our troops. We do not underrate the valour or resources of the Burmese, which it must be admitted are such as are likely to protract the war much beyond the period origi nally anticipated by some; but there can be no doubt as to the final result of the contest. General CovroN had sustained a reverse in an attack on some stockades at Donobew, but it appears that Sir ARCHI BALD Carers st.t. had subsequently inflicted a severe chas tisement upon the enemy in that quarter. The whole as pect of our military affairs in India is as favouralfie as we could reasonably expect. We call the attention of our readers, with great satisfac tion, to the proceedings of a meeting yesterday, for the improvement of the area and avenues of St. Paul's Cathe dral. The object of this association is one which every well-wisher to the architectural eminence of his country must be desirous to promote. it has long been a subject of regret that this splendid ediflx—which, if second to any in the world, is certainly second to only one—should be so completely and disgracefully buried in the midst of a mass of surrounding buildings. We trust that, by the successful exertions of the association in question, this reproach upon the national taste will be soon and for ever removed. CITY, WenwEsnAT EVENING. Console tLis morning opened at Siq 1, but they did not long remain at this quotation, for before twelve o'clock they had reached f, and subsequently there were buyers at f. The market was considered as a very un certain one, which caused jobbers to be careful in doing business, which necessarily narrowed it during the morn ing ; but, however, the market closed to all appearance in a very sound.itate, at I The speculators in the Foreign Market were almost ex elusively engaged in the arrangement of their balances, and yesterday's gloom, with yesterday's quotations, may be principally noted, with the exception of Greek Scrip, that declined to 172 I discount; and the Old Spanish Bands, 'that also declined to 211. After to-morrow's settlement business will probably be more extensive in this market. The Share Market was also in a very languid state, and the principal alteration in it was in the Potosi Shares, which again retrograded to 12 2. British Iron conti nued at the last price of yesterday, 2 11. Although Exchequer Bills are gone to a discount, money may be readily borrowed in the Stock Exchange at 3 per cent. In the Colonial Market Coffee rather improved in price end Sugar was steady. Ship-letters are arrived from Pernambuco to the 27th July, but they contain no public news. It appears by the recent letters from India, that the Company's agents are still taking up transports, but at a reduced price--16 rupees per ton a month. The Exchange with India has fallen. The Company closed their remit tance at It. ltd. ; it afterwards fell to Is. 101 d., and finally to is. bud. There were no bargain done in India 'Stock. 3 ars or Sratw.—The following extract of a letter from Madrid, dated September 1, displays, if it were want ing, a further proof of the - extreme imbecility of the Spanish Government :—The disarming of the Royalist volunteers, which was intended before the movement of the 16th June, was considered b r the roller part of the na- 1 tion as indiipensabTe ah order and tranquillity in the Peninsula. The Ministry itself seemed to be con vinced of this truth, and had taken measures to re - organis e the volunteers . The movement of Bessieres occurred in the mean time, and greatly added to the moral force of the Government; and it wag, after that event, thought that the Ministry certainly would profit by so favourable an op portunity. f o the great astonishment °revery man of sense, the intrigues of the apostolical party have defeated this in ten lion ; and we have just heard that the Minister of War has submitted a report to the King, in which his Excel lency gives it as his opinion, that the disarming of the volunteers at present would be an impolitic measure; and although he regarded the opportunity as favourable for disarming those of Madrid, who were the most moderate, lie does not think so with respect to the provinces, because the tragical end of Bessieres was not yet sufficiently known, nor the irritability of men's minds sufficiently calmed. We havereceived the Allgetneine Zeitung to the nth inst. It contains accounts from Trieste to the intle ult., which give the details of the assault on Missolonghi on the lit of August. They are merely a repetition of the news ziven in this paper in letters from Corfu. The affidr, as our readers know, ended its the signal defeat of the Turks. The Turkish army appears, Indeed, to have sustained im mense loss. The Greeks have also gained some naval triumphs. Altogether, these accounts furnish a strong con trast to the narratives lately received from other quarters, and would lead to the expectation, that the conclusion of the campaign will be very different from that which, a few weekssince, was pretty generally anticipated. On the 2d of this month the Court of Assizes at Ghent condemned two individuals to capital punishment; the one was convicted of having drowned his infant daughter, in order to inherit a sum of 1,060 florins that had been be queathed. to her, and the other was condemned as an acces sary !n the cansumtnatica of the crime.—Jean:aide Nord. • • THE BUIW ESE EMIT"IIE. —rr k [From the Calcutta Gotitenrtrut 'Cattle' of . ► r.petl .1.4 is painful (says one ofthe lettbrs) to'obServe this rich and highly favoured country, one of nature's Wrist gifts to man, lying a barren waste, and producing only noxious luxuriant weeds, where the golden harvest ought to glad den the heart and reward the toil of the industrious hus bandman, and shower down plenty and prosperity on a happy race. The Causes of this sad truth are numerous, and "May be traced in the turbulent and warlike spirit of I 'the nation, and an extremely scanty population, 'probably ',resulting from it ; in the want of just and fixed laws, and consequent uncertainty of troperty ; in the indolent and abject condition of the poor, and in the avarice arictCrUEl tyranny of the Government. The cultivation of the soil appears to have been ever an ortte:t of minor importance in the eye of the Burmese Go vernMent, and In this Egypt, or granary of the empire,' left, almost exclusively, in the hands of the Carian tribes, [ who are exempt ftom military service, ptg enormous taxes, and, untaught, untutored, as these poor people are, the land amply enables them not only to keep up the consump tion of their own respective districts, but ;9 Contribute largely, some years wholly, to the supply of the upper and less fertile provinces. Nothing can present a pieture of greater misery than the appearance of a Carian village : their houses are scarcely so good as dove-rots, perched upon bamboos, many feet from the earth, with a notched I stick raised almost perpendicularly from the earth, as the sole means of egress and ingress to their dwellings, which, generally speaking, are a mere shed, and the picturesque I group within exposed to the gaze of the passer-by. The Cariaus are a stout and hardy race ; dressed in a long che mise, close up to the neck in front, and open halfway down the back, with a broad worked border at the bottom ; cut this off, and you have the regular smock-frock worn in Kent. In all the women I observed the traces of prema ture old age, brought on, no doubt, by the hard labour' they daily undergo. The province of Sarrawaddy, as well as many other parts of Ava, abounds in perhaps the finest and most valuable timber in the world ; mines of various metals, exclusively the property of the Crown, are also found in various parts of the empire; and to these prolific sources of wealth the Court of Ava has long devoted its attention, to the utter neglect-of the more certain produce of the soil, and as, in the end, has generally been found, the most certain source of national prosperity. Our line of march has merely skirted Sarrawaddv, but it has exposed to us an inexhaust ible mine of wealth in the noble and magnificent forests through which we have passed. Here are trees of no stunted growth, but each of its class towering up to the full bulk and stature assigned it by the laws of nature. We know of other countries perhaps rivalling Pegu in her forests, but I know of none where similar advantages are enjoyed with equal facility of transporting their produce to any quarter of the globe. Here there is scarcely a square mile that does not possess its nullah or channel for carrying down whaCtood may have been prepared in the dry season to the different sea-ports ; from this rafts might be sent down to Rangoon and Bassein, almost With equal case. At Bassein a feet of three-deckers could lie in safety; and vessels of any burden might proceed to that port to receive a cargo. The arrival of the Tallian Chiefs at Rangoon, and their pointed avowal of their sentiments, -and the as sumption of a legal claim to the Crow of Pegu on the part of one of the deputies, naturally *II for every infor mation connected with the fiches and resources of Pegu, and the advantages which the GoverMnent of India, as allies or protectors, might derive. ARHACAN.—Tbis city, the capture of which is an nounced in another part of our Paper, is the chief town of Arracan, a province of the Burmese empire. It is situated in lat. 20. 40. N. and long. 93. 5. E. " This town and fort," says Symes, " were taken by the Burmans in 1783, after a feeble resistance. They found a considerable booty, hut on nothing was a higher value placed than an image of Gaudma (the Gautama of the Hindoos, a name of Buddha), made of brass, and highly burnished. The figure is about ten feet high, and in the customary sitting posture, with the legs crowd and lfriterted, the left hand resting on the lap, the right pendent. This image is be lieved to be the original resemblance of the Iteeshe (saint) taken Tlom life, and it is so highly venerated, that pilgrims have for centuries been accustomed to come from the re motest countries, where the supremacy of Gaudma is ac knowledged, to pay their devotions at the feet of his brazen representative. There were also five images of Raeshyas, the demons of the Hindoos, of the same metal, and of gigantic stature, the guardians of the sanctuary. A sin gular piece of ordnance, of most +enormous dimensions, was also found, composed of huge bars of iron, beaten into form. This ponderous cannon measured thirty feet in length, two and a half in diameter at the mouth, and ten inches in the calibre. It was transported by the Burmalts to Umtnerapoora by water, as a military trophy, and Gaudma, with his infernal guards, were, in like manner, I l conveyed to the capital, with touch pomp and superstitious parade." The Proclamation of Sir Archibahl Campbell, addressed to the inhabitants of the Burman Empire, which appeared in a Morning Paper of yesterday, w•as published on the I lth of last Month in the British Press, from which it was copied into the evening papers of that day. A letter, dated Bauleah, March 26, has been received by Mr. G. Gouger, of Stamford, Lincolnshire, anuotincing the safety of that gentleman's son, Mr. Gouger, jun having been carried off a prisoner by the Burmese, after the capture of Rangoon. It was feared that he had fallen a sacrifice to the barbarous and vindictive feeling of that fe rocious people. It appears, however, that he was at Urn merapoora, and his numerous friends in this country will learn with satisfaction, that no doubt is entertained of his ultimate release. The following is an extract from the letter:— ' " I hasten to communicate the glad tidings of the confirmation of the hopes held out in my letter of the 4th of September. Let ters received by the Eliza state that your son, Mr. Gouger, who was the only remaining prisoner in the power of the Burmese at the time of the capture of Rangoon, is still in existence. The pro demotion of the Burmese Government prohibiting violence or ill. usage to any European that may fall into their hands. is a suffi cient assurance of his safety and ultimate release, of which no doubt is now entertained." It is believed that Mr. Gouger, jun. is the only European at Ummerapoora, with the exception of Mr. Rogers, who has been attached to the Burmese Court, and resident there nearly 29 years. The residence of Mr. Rogers at the Burmese capital is a most fortunate circumstance for Mr. Gouger, who happened to be not only personally known to Mr. Rogers, but on terms of intimacy with that gentleman.

THE UNITED STATES AND GEORGIA.--Governor Troup of Georgia continues his hostile language against the Go vernment of the United States. He winds up a very an gry answer to a message from the President in this man ner :—" The President of the United States may rest con tent, that the Government of Georgia cares for no respon sibilities in the exercise of right, and the execution of its trust, but those which belong to conscience and to God, which, thanks to him, is equally our God as the God of the United States." He seems to contemplate strong mea 4ures, for in another letter be says—" I'he Government of Getyr,l'a will not retire from the position it occupies to gratify the Agent of the hostile Indians ; 'nor will it do so, I trust, because it knows, that in consequence of disobe dience to an unlawful mandate, it may be very soon re 'corded tint • Georgia was 1' " The refreshing rains which have fallen at intervals, since the close • of harve s t, an d whi c h st ill continue to full; have had the most benvficiallnfluence ou vegetation. • POETRY. The figure of St. George etnd the Dragon, on the gold coin (the Sovereign), when it first appeared in circulation, was, and with great justice, criticiz:d by a poetictl hu. mourist, in the following verses • ST.

Robert Rose, Mr. Frederick Stnith, to Miss Sophia, slaughter of Mr. Gaskin, both of that parish.. This now happy couple had their bans re gularly published, but some misunderstanding taking place, about a week previous to the day appointed' or the solem nization of the nuptials, between the bridegroom and re lations of the bride, the former, in the excitation of his mind, sold oft' the goods and chattels which he had pro vitltd for the connubial state, and abruptly withdrew hire self from the place of his promised happiness, hoping, by absence, to estrange his heart from the object of Its affec tion. This task, however, he found by no means an easy one : after a few slays' absence, love compelled its forlorn votary to return, only to witness whether his betrothed remained faithful. He met his fair one in the street of the town, with a vessel in her hand, pensively tripping to a neighbouring farm-house for milk. The flame which hal been, with difficulty, suppressed, now burst forth in the bosom of both boys rs: a few moments served to bring them to a decision. The Church and the Rectory House stood hard by.
