" Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, for the in formation of the Governor-General in Council, that the force under my command left the Sand-heads on the 28th of March, for the Rangoon River, the place of rendezvous for the combined force from Bengal and Madras, where it arrived on the 2d of April. " In obedience to my instructions, a flag of truce was immediately sent up to Rangoon to inquire if any com munication bad arrived from the Court cf Ave, in reply to the terms sent up to the Burmese Government, for the adjustment of the violences committed on the rubjects of her Majesty by the authorities at Rangoon. the flag wag in charge of Captain Latter, of the Bengal Army, and conveyed in the East India Company's steamer Proser pine, Commander Brooking. "On reaching the etockades that guarded the river on both its banks, the flag was fired on, and it was only by the excellent arrangement and brave conduct of Com mander Brooking that his ship extricated herself, in flicting on the enemy a severe chastisement by blowing up a powder mageziee and destroying many men. " I found, on my arrival at the rendezvous, that the Madras division bad not made its appearance, nor were there tidings of it, so that I resolved to go to Moulmein, and make arrangements for the capture of Martaban. " In the Rangoon River I found that Rear-Admiral Auster, C. 8., the Naval Commander-in-Chief, had just arrived from Penang in her Majesty's steamer Rattler. His Excellency and Commodore Lambert immediately came on board the Hermes, Commander Fishbourne, in which I h a d m y head-quarters , when it was agreed, in conferenc e , th a t t h e Ad m iral should accompany me to Moulmei n w i t h h er M a j esty ' s steame r s Hermes, Rattl e r, i' and Sal amander, sending in advance to t h e mout h o f t h e Martaban h r the 3d theEs Pro t serpine. W e accordinglyleft the Rangoon River at daybreak on v of e A pr l i c l; di r a ea Cpa c o h m edti n o y u 's im s ei te n am th e e r next day at noon. Orders were immediately issued for the troops t o b tf.re., and be in readiness for embert On 1 , 1 by 9 that evening a wing Ot kra' 18th Royal Irish, a • ,4, went, a win g of the ekes e'e detachments of Bengal Ea r° peen Artillery and Madras Sappers, in all ab out 1,400 ee " Martaban stand s on a nobleee were on board. sheet of wa t er , w ith a river line of def ences of aboutt 800 large pagoda, a w a ll running a l ong Inland lies a g a an ascent from th e water's edg eo ng of about t he whole front, with top of which small pagodas stand, th 500 feet, on the par tially covered with fi ne t rees and clos e slope R le being jen " Arrangements wer e ma d e for the aie. day break of the sth. The Rear-Admiral ma de ck at position possible, in water s f u ll of shoals edvery dis currents, for bombarding the position wit a h n hivaiolent steamers, and to cover the landi ng o f the troops. fi7 was the admiration of every one to w it ness the noble manner in which the Rattler worked her way withi n 200 yards of the wall, and close to th e pagoda, doing tremendous execution. I changed from th e Reeder at six o'clock, to superintend the landing of the troops, and went on board the Proser pine, a smaller vessel, with my staff. Colonel Reignolds commanded the attack. At halt-past six the steamer opened fire, and at seven the troops were in the boats and landed, by the indefatigable exertions of Commander Brooking, under a smart fire of musketry and guns. Soon was the storming party under the walls and over them, with less loss than I thought possible. Lieut.-Colonel Reignolds immediately ascended to the pagodas on the height, and took possession of them, after some skirmishing wide the enemy. " At 8 seu. Martaban was won; and, considering the enemy's position and numbers, which report gives at 5,000 men, we have got it very cheaply. " I have to ask his Lordship's and the Council of India's best consideration cf the services of Lieutenant- Colonel Reignolds, of the 18:h Royal Irish , to whom is due the credit of this day's endurance of severe fatigue and privation under a burning sun. " To Captain Gillespie, in command of the Grenadiers of the 18th Royal Irish, whom I saw first on the wall, the soldier following receiving three wounds; to Captain Campbell, who commanded the wing of the 18th Royal Irish; to Major Lockhart, in command of the wing of the 80th Foot; to Lieut.-Colonel Johnson, commanding the wing of the 26th Regiment of the Madras Native Infantry; and to Captain Randall, commanding the de tachment of Madras Sappers and Miners, my warm ap probation is due. " I beg also to recommend to the consideration of his Lordship in Council the Assistant-Adjutant-General of the Force, Captain Maybe,,, whose exertions daring the disembarcation of the troops tended greatly to its sw eets, as also my aides-de-camp, Lieutenant Chads, of her Majesty's 64th Regiment, and Lieutenant Lambert, of the 56th Bengal Native Infantry, son of the Commo dore, who were highly useful to me during the whole day. Major Fraser, the commanding engineer of the force, and Major Turton, in command of the Bengal Artillery, were with me the whole day, but, from the nature of the operations, their particular services were not called into play, though they had made every disposition for the efficiency of their respective departments. "It will be obvious from the foregoing bow greatly the success pf the operations I have detailed has de pended on the co-operation of the sister branch of the service. His Excellency Rear-Admiral Austen, QR., has throughout afforded me the most cordial assistance. Her Majesty's steamers Rattler, Hermes, and Selman der worked in concert with the troops throughout the day. " On my departure to-morrow I intend to take with me to the Rangoon River the wings of the 18th and 80th Regiments, and the company of Bengal Artillery, and the detachment of Madras Sappers and Miners doing duty at Moulmein. "In conjunction with Lieutenant-Colonel Bogle, the Commissioner of these provinces, I have put the 26th Madras Native Infantry, and a company of European Madras Artillery, with a suitable battery of guns, as a garrison at Manahan, relievable from Moulmein, when it may be thought desirable. " In addition to which a war steamer has been placed by the naval Commander•in-Chief on the station. These arrangements are, I think, adequate to the pro tection of the place, snd will, I trust, meet with the approbation of the Government of India. "In conclusion, I beg to remark that I am greatly indebted to Lieutenant-Colonel Bogle, who accompani e d me daring the whole of the operations of the sth, and was, from his local knowledge, of much use to me.

Won for th e landing of the troo ps, and to becoming se. quaint with the heads of the departments of the M a . dray division. I informed the Admiral on the evening of that day that my preparations were complete, and his Excellency proceeded up the river next day, close off Rangoon. On the 11th the Admiral moved oppo site the old town, with the intention the next morn ing to bombard the whole line of stockades on both banks of the river; but some of the flotilla getting very near the shore, were fired on, which brought on a return from our side, and ended in the general destruc tion of the whole line of defences, though the fire of the enemy proved fatal to many on board the shipping. The Admiral and Commodore took a most distinguished part in the operations, landing and setting fire to all around them. This powerful attack from the steam frigates of both her Majesty's and the East India Company's navy completely cleared the ground for nearly a mile for out landing. On Monday, the 12th, at daybreak, the troops were ready, and by about seven I had landed her Ma jesty's 51st Light Infantry, the 18th Royal Irish, the 40th Bengal Native Infantry, and part of my artillery. The Bengal guns, under Major Reid, were ordered to move in advance, covered by four companies of the 515 t Light Infantry. They had not proceeded far, however, when, on opening some ri , ,ing ground to our right, gun s opened on us, and shortly alter skirmishers showed themselves in the jungle. This was a new mode of fighting with the Burmese; no instance having occurred last war of their attacking our flanks, 7 leav ing their stockades, that I remember ever to have°r place.

The two last paragraphs of the re port are worthy of attention. They are as follow:-- " We think it right to state to their Lordships that in estimating the proposed pay of pursers, with reference to their former emoluments, we should have considered them (and particularly those of the higher rates) fairly entitled to a larger amount, had we not taken into con sideration the proposed increase of half-pay, pension, and retirement. It is, therefore, as a whole that we submit the above seheme to their Lordships' considera tion. " Finally, in the mature consideration which we have given to a question involving subjects of so great inte rest to the public service, we have been anxious, while on the one hand to practise every desirable economy, on the other to stimulate the honour, fidelity, and diligence of a class of officers on whom depends the faithful execu tion of the duties of a most important branch of the naval service of the country, as well as the contentment and comfort of the officers and seamen of her Majesty's fleet." The barque Marli, of Leith, Gillespy master, from London for Grenada, slipped from anchor and 75 fathoms of chain near the Mouse Light on Friday, and put in here. Having obtained an anchor and chain from her Majesty's dockyard, she proceeded the evening of the same day on her voyage. The brig Harrison, Sinclair master, lost an anchor and 45 fathoms of chain the same day in South-West Reach, and remains in harbour windbound. The barque Lyme Regis, Mansfield master, from London, bound to California, with a general cargo, got on the Shoebury Knock sand yesterday morning at high water.

" Sir,—Referring to the seven t h paragraph of the in structions from the Indian Government to the Com mander of the Forces, in which that functionary is de sired, before proceeding to Rangoon, to ascertain by such means as may seem beet through a flag of truce whether any letter from the Court of Ava to the Go vernment had been received, I have the honour, by the desire of the Rear-Admiral Co mmander-in -Chief, to state, for the information of the Gov ernor-General, that the East India Company's steamer Proserpine was sent up the river with Captain Latter, Burmese interpreter, to the Governor of Dal!a to ascertain whether any letter had been received. " The steamer, with a flag of truce, was permitted to pass two stockades on toe right bink of the river unmolested, but a third upon the left bank opened fire upon her. "In obedience to the instructions his Excellency had given her commander, she turned back, bat, as the flood tide was running very strong, this was a work of difficulty, and she had to remain for some time under fire, which she returned with shell and shot, and blew up the stockade. The other two stockades then opened fire, bus she succeeded in returning to the anchorage without damage, having been struck by only one shot from a 12-pounder gun. " I have, 80,, " G. P. MARTIN."

" Sir,—ln pursuance of the instructions I had re ceived from your Excellency, I proceeded up the Ran ' goon river on the afternoon of the 4th instant, taking under my orders hPr Majesty's sloop Serpent, and the Tenasserim and Phlegethou steamers belonging to, the East India Company, with three companies of her &it jesty's 18th Regiment, under the command of Lieute nant-Colonel Coote. I anchored off the Bassein Creek the same evening. "At daylight - on the morning of the sth I again weighed and went up the river, having previously given directions to Commander Luard, with the Serpent and Phlegethon, which I placed under his orders, with one company of the 18th Regiment, to attack and destroy the De Silva Stockade; which service he most effectually performed. " I proceeded myself with the Fox and Tenasserim to the Dimmed, and a new stockade that had recently been erected, nearly opposite on the other side of the river. As we approached the enemy opened an ill regulated fire on us (two of their shot striking the Fox), which was soon silenced by her Majesty's ship and the steamer. The troops and the nurines of the Fox were then landed, and by the evening both stockades were burned, and the whole force re-emisarked without any casualty. " I have great satisfaction in stating that the energy and good feeling displayed by both services in perform ing this duty were such as to meet my highest approval, and I have to express my thanks for the assistance I re ceived from Lieutenant-Colonel Coote and Commanders Tarleton end Luard, as well es from the commanders of the East India Company's steam-vessels of war Tones serim and Phlegethon.—l have, &c. " Gr. R. LAMBERT." " THE SECRETARY TO HEAR-ADMIRAL AUSTEN TO THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT or INDIA.. --gliaklgagAtruooa, April 16. " Sir, .--triciiiiiinu";TlOTi77llleTatra egiFiliilfiktant; reporting, for the information of the Governor-General of India, the proceedings of the naval squadron em ployed in these waters, I have the honour further to report, by desire of the Rear-Admiral Commander-in- Cnief, that on the 10th instant the ships, steamers, and transports commenced an advance up the river, and an chored below the Hastings Shoal that evening. " The Zenobia had been sent a part of the way up on the day previous for the purpose of watering, but grounding on the De Silva Shoal, was unfortunately unable to get out of her difficulties in time to take a part in the proceedings against Rangoon. " A copy of the Rear-Admiral's order to advance is annexed,* by which it will be seen that it was intended on the following morning (Easter Sunday) to anchor above the shoal, but out of the range of fire from the enemy. I have the honour, also, to encloses copy of the general orderf for the proceedings of the squadron while off Rangoon. Some alterations had, however, to be made in the arrangements proposed. It was found that there would not be room for all the ships to anchor above the shoal out of gunshot without a risk of their grounding, and it was for some time debated whether the squadron should remain below the shoal until Mon day, or advance on the Sunday morning to take up their positions off Rangoon, and risk the commencement of the action on that day. The tides and other cau s e s decided the authorities on adopting the latter course, and ac cordingly the shoal was crossed on the morning of the 11th by each ship as the water served. When the first vessels had anchored above it, the Dagon Pagoda fired several guns, apparently with a view to call in the people. Upon the East India Company's steamers Fercze, Moauffer, and Sesostris taking up their posttions, fire was opened upon them from the stockades on either side, which was returned with shot and shell. In the course of an hour an explosion took place, theimport ance of which was only afterwards discovered. It was that of a stockade, mounting nine 18-pounder guns, we ll planted, and would doubtless have done great mischief to ear shipping, if not thus accidentally silenced s o early. Upon the Fox advancing to take up her position, she poured effective broadsides into the stockades on both sides of the river. After consulting the Lieutenant- General Commander of the Forces, the boats of the Fox landed with a party of seamen and marines and a com pany of the 18th Royal Irish, and, under cover of the ships' guns, stormed two stockades on the Della side. Although a rapid fire of musketry was kept up from many hundreds of the enemy in these defences, yet this service was happily effected with but one man wounded on our side, Her Majesty's sloop Serpent and the East India Company's steamer Phlegethon then passed up the river, and anchored above Benamendine, in order to capture the war-boats and to pre vent fire• rafts being sent down upon the squa dron. The Rattler • and Tenasserim next advanced along the line, and succeeded in silencing three more stockades. The party before alluded to in the boats of the Fox, and a few seamen, with 30 of the Royal Irish, from the Rattler, stormed another on the Dalla side, driving hundreds of the enemy out of it into the jungle. All the stockades that had been taken were then set fire to and burnt in succession. The ships returned to their respective positions, in readiness to land the troops, which commenced at four o'clock on the morning of the 12th, without opeosition from the enemy. It was dis covered that the Dagon Pagoda was not so far from the ships as was laid down in the charts, being at a good shelling distance ; the ships accordingly commenced throwing shells into it. In the course of the evening a magazine blew up, and the outskirts of the Pagoda were set on fire in several directions, creating great confusion among the enemy. Shells w ere occas i ona lly thrown from the ships on the 13th inst., d ur i n g the day and night, frequently setting fire to the stockades in various places. On the afternoon of that day a large party of men, with two elephants and riders, wore seen to leave the pagoda. It was afterwards understood that this was the Governor of Rangoon, who had quitted the pagoda in despair of being able to hold it. "It will be the pleasing duty of the Commander of the Forces to r eport the advance of th e t roo p s a n d th e gallant storm ing of the White Stockade, about half a mile from the landing-place, and ultimately the storming and capture of the Dagon Pagoda. The Rear-Admiral desires further to observe that he leaves to the Lieut.- General to report upon the conduct of the small naval brigade, composed as per margint, under the command of Senior Lieutenant J. W. Dorville, of the flag- ship, employed with the forces upon this occasion, in the ut most confidence that ample justice will be done to them. " Enclosed is a list of the casualties that took place in the squadron while employed upon this service, and his Excellency desires to remark, that it is a subject not less of surprise than thankfulness that so few have taken place on the ocoasion.—l em, 84c., " G.
