We find in them a fact very worthy of arelltimi• The Porte has given limier to the Ministers of the Christian Power., that it considers itself as by no 111411111 hound by the bills of exchange given he Junto( l'acha, (internist of Patron, for the provisions supplied for that fortress. Hitherto these bills have been pa MI by the Imperial treasury, but henceforward they will not be horimind. 'flits.deelanition has caused a great sensation among the Europeans; it is Inferred (nun it not only that the exchequer of the Sultan is totally exhausted, but also that after the disasters of the campaign, the 'Avon has come to tile resolution to abandon the Mores to itself. A vessel has jest arrived which was in the bay of Tschesine 12 days ago. The Captain roolirins all the puticolars of the ilestruc. lion of the Turkish asst. Smoot, poor remnants of it, at anchor under the fowls of the llsrilanellis, arc all that is lett of it. The victorious /(reeks have taken to Uydra a great many vessels cap. wired (rum the 111nrbarians. By the arrival of the General Palmer from Madras, from whence she sailed on the lot of August, we have received letters and papers from Calcutta to the listh of July. The intelligence we have thus obtained respecting the progress ' of the Burmese war is, upon the whole, highly gratifying. In the Colcuita (;,,,itte Extraordinary of the I uth of July we have a dispatch from Sir Ascarsu.n C•se rs et., de tailing the succe.ses he had gained over the enemy. These enemies are not of sufficient magnitude to be in theroaelves productive of any ►esults decisive of the mit/ st, but it is of great importance that in these instances sonic of the moat desperate of the Burmese forces have been compelled to abandon their stockades in miler to escape front the destruc tive effects of our artillery. They hare now found, by a dreadful ems rien:c, that if they remain in the stockades, we can with comparative ease, and almost without loss, ex terminate them. The impression made upon them is thus described in the official account :—" The terro - of our arms at present prevails among the troops lately opposed to us, and front one or two reconnoitering peril, a which hare since been out, I find that every stockade in our neigh bourhood has ben evacuated." We have also the official centirsnation of the capture of Clteduba. The casualties in these affairs have been but trifling on our part, while the loss sustained by the enemy has been considerable. The advices from Calcutta state that the alarm some time before felt as to an incursion into Bengal from Ramo e lad cotnpletely subsided. Some private letters from Madras al lude to au alleg. il misunderstanding between the Governor General and a military officer of the highest rank, which it is represented had led to very serious consequences. We shall the more deeply regret to leant that this information is correct, because it appears, as we anticipated, that the Bur mese war is likely to be both tedious and expensive. The troops lent in the first expedition are not considered as mall cient for the purpose, and the transports which conveyed than have therefore been despatched to Madras and Calcutta, to bring additional supplies of men and stores. The force upon the Eastern frontier is also to be strengthened. The fol.. lowing is an extract of a private letter from Calcutta : 6 . Nines we last adiliessed you on the 14th of June. there him been an almost total cessation of busing, in consequence of the agents of flovernmcnt In the interior having seized all the boats on the liver, for the transportation of troops and stores towards the eastern frontier, and they have even unloaded the native craft proceeding upwards, in consequence of which we cannot get r, merchant to purchase a cue of goods, as they argue tha shipments made • n onth hence, are likely to reach their desti tution as NOD as those made at the present moment." The argument before the twelve Judges on the writ of error in Mr. FAUXTLENOT . II case was not concluded yes terday. Our readenvokill find a very full and accurate report of Mr. Banneincies able address. When Mr. Sergeant IlosaNuvLT, in support of the prosecution, hail finished his answer, their Lordships rear, in order that Mr. Ilsonmea might have time to comider and it his reply. The Judges will again assemble this morning at ten °Meek, and when the argument is closed thl y will attend the Council to be held to-day, and make known to his :MAJESTY the judgment they have formed on the point 'of law. Consols were a shade lower yesterday than on Monday, for which no other reason is assigned than the paucity of transactions in this and every other security. Mexican stock remains nearly steady at the former quotations, but little has lean ilone in it. _ Letters from Itßams, received yesterdav, state that the markets tlicre are brisk. British piece peons have met with a rabid and profitable tale ; but it is said that the indigo crop in that presidency has entirely tailed. Should there be another crop in Bengal as bad as there has beets for the last two yew, that article will be higher in the European market than it timer has been known. At Singapore the market fur British produce has been good beyond example, every species of British manufacture being in high detuand, and the prices excellent. Letters fonn the Spanish ports give a very unfavourable account of the state of Britillt commerce its dime places, in consequence of the enormous duties levied upon British merchataiize. Letters front Madrid state, that in consequence of the re port received front the Royalist army in Ps ru, the Govern mint has sent out despatches, re-appointing La-Serra to the Viceroyalty, and expressing approbation of all the taws times adopted by Camerae and Valdez. La Ss•rna has bad conferred on him the title of " Duque de los Antler." The letters from Lisbon, received by the Mail yester day, do not contain the slightest allusion to the late con spiracy, and describes the state of the capital to be perfectly tranquil. No preparations were making for an expedition against Brazil. The Lisbcre Gaulle of the Yep of November contains a notice from the Board of flesh!' (slated so far back as the Wit of October). in which it is stated, that the Portuguese I.:ottani at New York, in a despatch of :he 4th of Septem ber, and at Philadelphia, in a despatch of the SOth August, have given notice that the yellow fever limit appeared at Charleston and New Orleans. The Board a u e o rdingly orders vessels from these and the neighboaring ports to perform quarantine. An article from Stutgard, in the Frankfort Papers of yesterday, affords additional proof that the liberal principles wait respect to trade, advocated and acted upon by Eng land, are extending themselves. Bavaria. having already liberated commerce from the shackles which fornwrly con fined it in her inte.courre with Bestial twi i llthouring States, Is about to conch:4le a similar arrangement with Wirtetnburgli ; arid the cati.plc of thew Powera, it is hot unreasonably anticipated, will sueu be followed by the whole of Southern t:l.lmany. - In eunscgiu nee of the to sinus htwiies resulting front the late iuu►Nlationt in Germany. the lev)iug of taxi P, en those most reduced in cireutubtauces, has been suipendtil for two _ _ _ We learn that Lieutenant-roloncl . or•klhurn. at the head of the Quarter-Master4ictierill's department in the Ca nailas. is al:pointed ore of the two Comenirsioners o n th e part Of Cosc 'w, for taking a valuation of the Crown and 4 lerg,v Reserves in r Canada, to be disposed of to the Ncw 'animist Company. and that lie was handy to prop•• 5d to this country, via New York, with the other thr ee 'ssions appoitintl for the same purpose.— Quer.ie Ga-Jite, (h./.

We suspect this is the same individual, who, some time since, commenced • set of infidel doctrines in this city, and who was so fairly put down by the voice of public op' . if so, as we per ceive his application was matte in such a manner as to con ceal his real seutiments, we think it but fair to inlorm our English friends, that we have heard him say, he believed the Bible to be an imposition, and our Lord Jesus Christ an imposter !—lt ids Tinies. TOE STORM Or YILSTERDAY. — The metropolis was vi siteel by a heavy winch yesterday morning frem the S.S.W. which has caused considerable damage, particularly to the houses on the north sideof theltiver below bridge. 'ldes and chimney pots fell in all directions, and as a hackney-coach was passing through Rosemary-lane, a chimney-pot fell on the roof. The streets in the vicinity of Goodman s-fields arc literally strewed with tiles. A boat crossing the River below bridge, was ups"t ; the waterman and two pas sengers saved. Two barges were driven by the wind from their moorings at Rankside, and carried by the ebb tide, one ou the starlings of London-!.ridge, the other stopped up completely the sixth arch on ti:c north side of the bridge. ower.dtill was not without great difficulty passable for foot passengers. About 11 o'clock, an immense stack of cl ; belonging to Salvador-Enure, in Bishopsgate 'tree 1., fell wi.h a tremendous crash ; they forced in the roof of the house, but we arch:el :ty to say, the terrified in mates escaped without sustaining any injury. Most of the bricks and rubbish fell into the fore-court of Mr. He Te►tett's premises. The front of one of the modern-built houses altr. near the Albany-road. Camberwell, was com pletely blown ; alt ssa&s ioliabited, no one was hurt. In twveral other parts of the town the effects of the storm were displayed. In the neighbourhood of Great Queen street, a stack of chimneys was blown clown, and unfor tunately fell upon a Orson, and seriously injured him. The late heavy rains have rendered the rivers around the metropolis (f which the supplies of water t.rc dt sisal) so &widowed and fetish, as to make the water totally until and unwholesome for domestic purposes. These inanity tibia-es are now likely to he remedied, and we hope that the '• Metropolitan Water Works Company," who propose to supply water in its pure and pellucid state from the deep springs of the earth, may receive that liberal encouragement and notice front the public which it certainly merits. REtt•r.KARIE Arr rams xer.—This morning, at sun rise, the heavens, for a low min u tes, presented a most re markable and even fearful appearance, as if illumined by the flames of a tremendous volcano, or city in flames. So styling was the I • I reflection, that it cast a very deep flaming colour upon the buildings of this city, which. when looked at through the windows. the glass appeared as if it had been stained rod, or the buildings reflecting light from the lurid fl, of a wide-spread conflagration. The morning was calm, and deep clouds shrouded the whole heavens, except a small space on the south-east !Holton, whet^ the sun was about to make his appearance. The phenomenon is not unusual at this season of the year, but we never saw it to sorb a great extent. It Ut a sure sign of unsettled, wet, and stormy weather.—tAugote ( Nov. W.

[From the Cokedra Government/ Gazette dslreordiae►y, of July le.) The following extract from a despatch reeeiverl from Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Campbell, K.C.B. and K.C.T.B , is published for general information:— ITUACT Or A DFsrsTCll Flow IsIttoADIER•CENEICAL SIN AIICIIIIAI.D liA/ED IIiTH St:NE, 't 1 1 /WINTON. ESQ.. Sr:LIU:TARP To rtroVE SNDE NT SECT. AND POLL. DEPT., dtc., r Out witLIAM. lira—Since I last did myself the honour of addressing you Brigadier 111•Creanh, and the European part of the detachment sent against (;lieduba have returned to head-quarters, having fully executed the urders given ha me, agreeable to the instruc tions I had received from the Right Ilem. the fiovernor-tlene ral in Council; the able and satisfactory manner in which Bri gadier carried on the operations entrusted to hint. will appear by the inclosed report, and the remit has been such as might have been expected from the judicious arrangements of that experienced officer. (laving completed my arrangements for striking a blow upon the enemy's force assemblid here ; on the morning of the 11th inst. although the weather continued most unfavourable, I moved upon the enetny's fortified camp and stokades at Keinmendine. with about a , INul into, four eighteen pounders, four mortars and some field pieces, sending two die is.one of vessels up the river to prevent the enemy from escaping on that side. It was my intention not to lose a man if it could be avoided. The enemy had already frt. quently experienced the irresistible influence of the British bayonet, and it was now my wish they should rho know that we had still other and perlespa more dreadful means of exterminating them in every stockade they might lie found in. The country, season and roads rendered the undertaking extremely arduous, but not beyond the inexhaustible spirit of such soldiers as I command. About two mites from town, the head of the edema was stopped by a stockade apparently very strong and full of men : I ordered two heavy guns and Rome field pieces to open it. while the trove stir. rounded it on there sides, but the jungle was an very thick and dose as to prevt nt the tosaibility of altogether cutting off the gent. risen. In less than half an hour a considerable gap wan made in the outward defences of the work, and the defendants not daring anywhere to alit yr themselves, I or d ered a part of the Madras Eu rupean Iteginieut, supported by part of the 4lst Regiment, to charge, and the work was immediately carried, with a trifling loss on our part, the enemy leaving 140 men dead on the ground. Major Chalmers leading the Ruppert of the llst Regiment, and one of the first men in the breach, received a wound in the face from a spear, which lam happy to say is not dangerous. While this was going on tinder my own eye, a very spirited and success ful attack was made on the other side of the stockade, by the ad vanced conipenies of die 13th and Roth Re-inierins, who by awdat. ing each other up the face of the stnckade (at least ten feet high), entered about the same time as the party by the breach, putting every man to death who opposed their entrance ; and it afie.rds me pleasure to state that die first nian who appeared on the top of the weak, was, I believe, 3lajor Sale, of his Majesty's 13th Light Infantry. This point gained, the column again moved forward nearly a mile where our kit wan posted. communicating with the flotilla on the river about half a mile under the great stockade and fortified camp: the head of the column moving up to the right with great toil and labour, through the thick and tenacious jangle, fur the pur pose of again reaching the river above the stockade, and thus com pletely investing the enemy's great strong hold. In this I was partly disappointed, the enemy having thrown up other works above the stockade, which would have expensed me right to certain Ina., and not being stile to invest the whole of the enemy's extensive for tifications. I was tinder the necessity of leaving al con a hundred yards, between our right and the neer, unoccupied ; hut as the principal work appeared full of men, anintating each ether with loud and boisternua cheering I still hoped they would remain till the inipren.inn I intended had been made. At 4 p.m. my troops were in position in many places within a h teed yards of the place; but in all parts with a very thick jungle in front, extending to the very button: of the stockade. The night passed in erecting batteries and making preparations fee opening the guns at daylight next horning; the i nemy contir.uing loud and incessant cheering till after day-lighe in the morning. The moment we hail sufficient light on the following day, a heavy and well-directed fire was opened from our breaching mortar batteries. which was kept up for nearly two hours, when a party advancing to observe the breach, fund the enemy, during the cannonade, had evacuated the place, carrying off their dead and wounded. The chain of posts occupied by the enemy rendered flight at all times easy, and the thickness of the jungle necessarily prevented our observing when it took place, The Stockade, you will observe by the actompanying plan is ore of great strength. and capable of being obstinately defended. It was garrisoned by time most desperate crews of the enemy's war boats, and it comet be doubted that the dreadful example of the day before, and awful effects of our opening firing, alone could have induced men possessed (at the Burniese unqueationaaly are) of great penal courage, to give it up. fhe object I had in view has thus been fully accomplished ; a general pause and terror of our arms at present prevail amunn the trope la.ely opposed to us, and front one ew two reconnoireriN par ties which have since been out, I find that every stockade in our neighbmirhood has been evacuated, and I have reason to think the enemy has retired to some distance from our front. I continue to receive ev.wy assistance and comperation from f'ap tain Manyat, It.N. and the ships employed under his command. , .
