AMERICAN PAPERS. FROM THE CAPE 0F GOOD HOPE. We are indebted to Captain Smith, of the ship Superior, which arrived yesterday, for a file of the South African Commercial Ad vertiser, to the lith of April. The Mandeline had arrived there from Ceylon. She spoke on the 10th of February, his Majesty's ship Tamar, which sailed from Rangoon on the 22d of Jauuary her commander stated positively that there was no foundation for the reported peace; but that on the contrary. hostili:ies were carry ing on with increased vigour. I Our latest direct Intelligence from Calcutta is to the 20th of January, which brought advices from Rangoon to the lath, containing the particulars of the capitulation of the Burmese; we are therefore disposed to believe that there is some mistake as to dates in the preceding information.) Very severe weather was experienced at the Cape during Mardi and April, and several British vessels were lost. The British sloop of war Athol, Capt. J. A. Murray, arrived in Simon's Bay on the 17th of March, from Sierra Leone. She cap tured on the 2d of February, the Brazilian brig Active, having on board 108 slaves ; took 18 of her crew, and sent the vessel to Sierra Leone.

The ship Indian Chief has arrived at Norfolk, in 33 days from Cape Itlesaurado, the seat of the American colony on the African coast. Dr. Woodside came passenger 'in the above vessel. The colonists were in good health, and were progressing in every thing appertaining to wholesome government. The trade with the natives was increasing. A letter from C. M. Warring, one of the emigrants from Virginia, dated Monrovia, 19th April, gives a flattering account of the number of vessels which todelted at the colony, and al' traded more or less. The Colon, of Portland, had sailed with a full cargo of camwood and ivory, which was put on board by the colonists in live weeks. The beet time to arrive is said to be October. Not satisfied with acting on the defensive, we learn that the co lonists hid made attacks on the establishments fifty to sixty miles distant, made by Spanish and French traders, t o further the pur. poses of the slsve traffic, and had succeeded in breaking them up. In one of these attacks, Dr. Woodside, who generously volunteered his services, was severely wounded. Two decked boats of about thirty feet long and ten beam, to carry about 100 armed men, were nearly in tea liness, which were intended to be employed in sup pressing any combinations of these trailers against them, or the na tives within view of their establialupent. With the natives they were on the most friendly terms, and it is said they regarded the colonists with respect and fear. The following interesting items of intelligence from the colony were obtained by Mr. Lyford from Dr. Woodside, a passenger in the Indian Chief Dr. Woodside states that advice, having been received by the llovernor of Messurado, that two or three Spanish vessels were at Trade Town, about 90 miles to the leeward of Messurado, in the business of trading with and trepanning the natives. wade applica tion to Captain Chase. of the Colombian schooner ha Jacinta, to proceed thither, promising him at the same time the assistance of from 30 to 10 of the American Colonists who had volunteered themselves for the purpose, and endeavour if possible to defeat their plans. Captain Chase accordingly proceeded down, and on his arrival on the 14th of April, found there the Colombian brig Vencedor, Capt. Cottrell, who had captured a Spanish brig, and with the asaistance of the Jacinta, afterwards took two Spanish schooners, all 'of which were engaged with a party of negroes from the shore in making arrangements for iaking off about 400 blacks as slates. The Jacinta effected • landing of Capitals Chase, with a party of men, in doing which, however, three of her boats out of five got swamped. but the native traders, headed by the Spaniards. resisted them with all their force, in doing which some of the Jacinta's men got wounded by musket shots. The native traders had been sufficiently active to remove their slaves into the interior, with the exception of fifty-five, which were surrendered by the King of that section of the country, but not until his town, con sisting of about one hundred and fifty houses, had been burnt, and it was to save himself and hisother possessions from further devas tation, that he was probably induced to make the surrender that he did. The prisoners and prize• were taken by their captors to Cape 3lesurado, where the latter were lying when the Indian Chief loft. The 55 slaves were taken care of by the Rev. Mr. Ashman. EAST INDIES.

The following copies of despatches received from the Commis sioners in Asa and Pegu, and from Alajor-General Sir Archibald Campbell, K.C.B. and K.C.T.S., Commander of the British forces in Ara, are herewith published for general Information. TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD AMHERST, GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN INDIA, &C. Mr Loan—lt is with extreme regret that we have to report, for the information of your Lordship in Council, that the treaty eon. eluded with the Burmese Ministers, on the 3d instant, not having been ratified by their Sovereign, and none of the conditions hay. ing, within the stipulated period, been fulfilled, all amicable in tercourse with the Authorities at Mention was immediately broken off, and hostilities recommenced on the morning of the 19th in stant, with the attack and capture of the enemy's position at that place. The particulars of this action will be communicated in the mill. tary despatches, and we almll take an early opportunity of sub. :flitting out sentiments upon the ulterior policy which it may, in consequence, be expedient to pursue. In our present add.cia we conceive it sufficient to r rlt t : d rour Lordship in Council. to the detailed acco u nt o f our p ings given in the documents transmitted by this opportunity to the Se cretary to Government in the Political Department, for the most clear and convincing evidence, that every admis-ible effort has, on our part, been made to avert an event which, however deeper to be regretted, will, we feel confident. be admitted by the Govern. ment to have been, under the reculiar circumstances of our situ'. tion, altogether unavoidable. IVe have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient and most humble servant, (Signed) ARCH. CAMPBELL, Major-Gen. and Sen. Commissioner. (Signed) T. C. ROBERTSON, The Commissioner's Office, Camp, Civil Commissioner. Patanagolt, 211th Jan. 1826. TO GEORGE SWINTON, TM SECO:TART TO GOVERNMENT, RILCRET AND POLITICAL DEPARTMENT, &C. FORT WILLIAM. despatch of the 31st ult. brought the operations of the army under my command down to that date, and expressed my sanguine expectations, that it would prove the Lot communi cation which I should have to address to you, relative to the war in this country. These hopes have been, unfortunately, frustrated by the po licy of a Court, apparently destitute alike of every principle of honour and good faith. The signature of a treaty of peace, by the British and Birman Commissioners, on the 3d instant, and the pledge on the part of the latter, that the same would be ratified by the King of Ava within fifteen days of that date, and some specific articles, as therein stated, carried into effect within the same period, has already keen brought to the knowledge of the Right Honourable the Governor-General in Council, by the proceedings of the British Commissioner", re. corded in their despatches under date of the 3d instant. All occur. rences of a purely political nature since then will now, in like man. ner, be furnished by the same authority. I shall therefore proceed I to the detail of military events resulting therefrom. On the 18th, the day appointed for the return of the ratified treaty, &c., the Commissioners finding, that instead of a fulfilment of this promise a further delay of six or seven days was solicited. under such unequivocal circumstances as left no doubt that a total want of faith guided their councils, it was definitively declared, that their request could not be complied with, and a secret article proposed to them, in which it was stipulated (together with the performance of others already agreed to) that they should evacuate the fortified and entrenched city of Melloon by suit-rise on the morning of the 20th. On their positive rejection of this proposi tion, they were told, that at 12 o'clock that very night (the 18111), hostilities would recommence. Deeming it of the utmost import. once that no time 'Mould be lost in punishing duplicity of so Ha. grant a character, i ordered the eons ruction of batteries, and land ing of heavy ordnance from the flotilla, to commence immediately after midnight, and every requisite arrangement be made for an early attack upon Melloon. His Lordship in Council will be en. aided to apprecia.e the zeal and exertion with which my orders were carried into effect, under the direction of Lieutenant-Colonel Hop kinson, commanding the artillery, and Lieutenant Underwood, the chief engineer (aided by the indefatigable corps the first battalion of Madras pioneers, under the command of. Captain Crowe). when I state, that by ten o'clock the next morning I had eight and twenty pieces of ordnance in battery, on points presenting a front of more than one mile on the eastern bank of the Irrawaddy, which corresponded with the extent of the enemy's line of defence on the opposite shore. I yet cherished hopes that the formidable appear ance of our preparations would have indeted them to make some further communications in the morning, instead of again risking the renewal of hostilities with troops of whose decided superiority they had so recently experienced the mo-t convincing and humi: hating proofs. In this I was disappointed. At daylight I per. ceived that the preceding night had been devoted by them to pre paration!' equally laborious, and the construction of extensive and well-planned works, with a view to die resistance on which they had resolved. At eleven o'clock. A. at. (the 19th), I ordered our batteries and rockets to open their fire on the enemy's position ; it was warmly kept up, and with such a precision of practice, as to reflect the highest credit on this branch of the service. During this period, the troops intended for the assault were em barking in the boats of his Majesty's ships and the flotilla, at a point above our encampment at Patanagoh, under the superintend ence and direction of Captain Chads, of his Majesty', ship Alli gator. senior naval officer. on whom this charge devolved, in the absence of his Excellency, Commodore Sir James Brisbane, in con sequence of extreme indisposition. At about one r. at. the decided impression having been produced by the cannonade, and every thing reported ready, I directed the brigade, under Lieut.-Colonel Sale, consisting of his Majesty's 13th and 311th regiments, to drop down the river, and assault the main face of die enemy's position, near its south-eastern angle ; and Brigadier General Cotton. with the flank companies of his Ma jesty's 47th and 87th regiments, and his Majesty's 89,11 regiment, under Lieutenant. Colonel Hunter Blair; his Majeaty's 41st re giment. and the 18th Madras Native Infantry, under Lieutenant- Colonel Godwin; and the 28th Madras Native Infantry, with the flank companies of the 43d Madras Native Infantry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Parlby, to cross above 3lelloon, and after carrying some outworks, to attack the northern face of the prin. cipal work. Although the whole of the boats pushed off together from the left hank, the strength of the current, and a strong breeze from the north, carried Lieutenant-Colonel Sale's brigade to the given point of attack before the other columns (notwithstanding every exertion) could possibly reach the opposite shore; Lieutenant-Colonel Sale was unfortunately wounded, in his boat, but the corps of his brigade having Vended, anti formed with admirable regularity, under the command of Major Frith, of his Majesty's 38:h regiment, rushed on to the assault with their usual intrepidity, and were, in a short time, complete masters of a work, which, although certainly not so ! well chosen in point of position as others we have met with. yet had been rendeted most formidable by labour and art, and at the sane time, such as to afford the enemy a presumptive assurance of security in their possession of it. This is fully es'eed, by the circumstance of the chiefs, with !Bernie:us) at their head. (am ' trry to the Burmese custom in all such cases,) haring remained 111:thin their defences lilt they saw the troops crossing to the assault. When Brigadier-ficnetal Cotton saw that the works were car ried by the 13th and 311th regiments, he very judiciously ordered the brigade under Lieutenant-Colonel Ilunter Blair, to cut in upon the enemy's line of retreat, which was dohe accordingly, and with much effect. Titus was accomplished. in the course of a few hours from the recommencerhent of hostilities, forced upon us by perfidy anti duplicity, a chastisement as exemplary as it was merited. Their loss in killed and wounded loan been severe, and the accompanying returns of captured ordnance, ordnance-stores, arms, and ammo ' nition, will aufnciently demonstrate how seriously they have suf. feted in these particulars--a species of disaster which their Go ' vernment will, doubtless, more deeply deplore than the sacrifice of lives, or the shame of defeat. Specie to the amostnt of about 30,000 rupees 1•46 fotind in Memiaboo's house, and a very ample magazine of grain, together with about 70 horses, have also fallen into our hands. It will prove highly gratifying to his Lordship in cuuncil to learn, that advantages so important have been secured with so small is numerical loss as is exhibited by the returns of killed and wounded. A mongst t h e woun d e d I include, with par ticular regret, the names of Lieutenant-Colonel Sale and Major Frith ; the latter having succeeded to the command of the column, on his senior of f icer being disabled, received at his head in the moment of success • spear wound, which I fear is of a serious nature. Major Thornhill, of his Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, was the third on whom the accidents of war threw the perilous distinction of leading these troops, and fie conducted their move. ments to the close of the affair in a style worthy of his predecessors in command. in! Where zeal displays itself in every rank, as amongst the officers whom I have the happiness to command, and all vie with each other in the honourable discharge of duty, the teak of selecting in. dividual names for the notice of hi. Lordsrip, becomes difficult and embarrassing . • and I am compelled to adopt the principle of par ticularizing those alone on whom the heavtext share of exertion happened to devolve on this occasion. It fell to the lot of the ar tillery to occupy the con.picuous station in the events of the day : in behalf, therefore, of Lieutenant-Colonel Ilopkiamon, command ing the whole, and of Lieutenant. Colonel Pollock, commanding Bengal Artillery, and Captains Lumsden, Bengal florae Artillery, and Montgomerie, Madras Artillery, commanding the batterie.„ I have to solicit yeur recommendation to hi. Lordship's favourable attention. The rocket practice, under Lieutenant Blake, of the Bengal Horse Artillery, was in every way admirahle : of 304 rockets which were projected during the day, five alone failed of reaching the spot for which they were destined, and uniformly told in the works, or in the ranks of the enemy, alth an elect that has clearly established their claim to be constdered a most powerful and formidable weapon of war. The conduct of his Majesty's 13th and 33th regiment. during the advance, and their gallantry in the storm. far exceed all that I can write in their praise. I sincerely hope that 1 shall not long be de prived of the services of their two brave commanders. Brigadier-General Cotton's arrangements for intereeptirg the retreat of the enemy, and the movement of Lieutenant-Colonel Hunter Blair, to effect the same object, merit my warmest com mendations. To Captain Chub', of the Royal Navy, and every of fi cer and sea. man of hia Majesty's ships, anti the Hon. ComFany's flotilla, I am deeply indebted, for the able and judicious manner in which the troops were transported to points of attack so near to a formidable work which they had to assail. I have the honour to inclose Capt. Chads' report, together with his return of killed and wounded. Upon this short but important service I derived every support from the ze a l and ability of my stia, general and personal. Lieutenant Wilson, of his Majesty's 13th light infantry, Aide de-Comp to Brigadier-General Cotton, who will have the honour of delivering this despatch, was present during the whole affair, and is well qualified to give any further information which may be re quired by his Lordship on the subject.

We have frequently drawn the attention of our readers to the packets which keep up a regular communication between the ports lof Liverpool and New Volk. There is not a similar mercan tile establishment in the world, nor one which has been so beneficial to the commerce of the two great sea-ports between which the ream!, trade. The four lines of packets are composed of first-rate ships, with elegant, we might almost say sumptuous, accommodations for passengers, and are commanded by men of great nautical skill and experience. The packets of the second line, which still on the eighth of every month, have generally been regarded as inferior to those which compose the other three lines. The accommodations of some of the four ships are, it must be ad. mined, not so splendid, though as well calculated to promote the comfort of the passengers, as those composing the other lines. But the William Byrnes, one of the ships of the second line, is equal in splendor as well as in comfort of accommodation to any ship in the other three lines. This fine ship is now lying in the north cast corner of the Princes,,prick, and we had the curiosity, the other day, to inspect her internal accommodations. She has great breadth of beam, and her cabin is, consequently, un commonly spacious and lofty. On each side there are ten bed rooms, fitted up with a studious regard to the comfort of the temporary inhabitants, and well lighted from above. The doors ore composed of mahoony and maple-wood, tastefully disposed and elegantly veneered. Nine mahogany pillars divide the bed-rooms from each other ; and, from the beauty of their design and the elegance of their caps, and greatly to the ornament of the cabin. The mizen-mast is tastefully ornamented and gilt. The sideboard is really a beautiful piece of cabinet-work, anti has been pronounced, by competent judges, as elegant in design and as tasteful in execut.rn as any similar piece of furniture they ever bp, held in the most sumptuous apartment on land. The arch which springs front it towards the top of the cabin produces a fine effect, All the mahogany work is brilliantly polished. The ladies' cabin adjoins the main cabin. It contains four sleeping rooms, and its ornaments are similar to those in the principal cabin. It is fur. nished with mirrors. couches, &c. and is an elegant, and what is more, a comfortable apartment. We have no hesitation in pro nouncing the accommodations of the William Byrnes equal in ex tent, in splendor, and in comfort, to those of any of the most cele. brated ships composing the other three lines. H er round-house is very spacious, and must, when the ship is at sea, be a delightful spot for enj oying the breeze, without being annoyed by the incle mency M the weather. This packet ship is upwards of WO tons bur then, most substantially built, and coppered and copper-fastenetl. She is commanded by Captain Ilackstaff, a skilful anti experienced seaman, and is celebrated for her uncommonly quick passages. The William Byrnes is worthy of a visit from all who delight to see the perfection to which naval architecture has been brought in our day, and the elegance with which it is possible for human in genuity to decorate the cabin of a merchant mad. Died, yestertloy morning, at 3 o'clock, at an advanced age, at his house in Strsttou-street, Piccadilly, the Earl of Chichester, Post-Master-General, and brother to the Duchess of Leeds.

TIIE New HOLLANDER.—The food of the native of New Holland consists of the seeds spontaneously offered to him by the bounty of Nature. and of the produce of his hunting and fish. ing. Of the mode in- which him hunting is conducted we know little, as Europeans have hitherto penetrated but a very trifling dis tance into the interior. A very general practice appears to be, by setting fire to the grass, to force the kangaroo, his principal game. from the woods into the open country, where it is killed by spe a r s , propelled commonly by means of the throwing-stick. With the va. riots plans pursued by him in his fishing, on which he seems ta have expended the greater portion of his ingenuity, we are bette acquainted. In many situations this is confined to the mere collec tion of shell-fish, crabs, &c. at low water; at which time., evet when it occurs during the night, the whole tribe is out upon t , shore in search of these animals, compelled by the certainty ttw. they would he deprived of their next meal if they neglected the op rottunity of procuring tt, even at the most unseasonable hours. /he weirs, which are constructed to intercept the return of such fish as may have been carried Into shoal water during the flood, are formed either by sticks stuck in the mud, or by heavy stones. o:ie of the latter description, at Oyster Harbour, " was &hundred yards long, and projected forty yards in a crescent shape, towards tl e sea." Fishing.nets, rudely made of the fibres of the bark of treo., are occasionally employed ; and the same material is also snun an,f twisted to form tlshmg-lines, five or six fathoms long, to which are attached hooks made from the shells of turtles. The mode in which these latter animals are callOit by the natives of Ender. von, River has been described by Captain Cook, and consi-ts in striking into their bodies a barbed peg, to which is fastened staff, serving for a float to trace and to weary the turtle while swimming. This contrivance strongly reminds us of those cr ployetl by the Esquiniaux in the capture !of seals and whales. Another point of resemblance between th ese distant savag e s is w be found in the feast of the natives o f King George the Third's Sound on a raw and only half-dead seal, which had been tears. gorge upon dm; fixed by a spear east from a throwing-stick, and was aftericnrds despatched by blows from a small hammer upon its head.
