ME LONDON JOURNALS. DA 11. Y Extracts from the Morning Pvers, Nov. 30. [MORNING POST.] By way of Bombay we have received some interesting accounts from Arabia and Upper Egypt., which give as a better idea of the state of that part of the world than can be derived through the distorted medium of tke usual chan nels.. By these advises we are informed that the communication between Mocha and Senna still continued blocked up by the Kubihs, and that this state of things was extremely detrimental to trade, the imports and exports being almost en lisoily prevented. The refractory Chief of Asseer bad been brought under subjection by the troops seat against him ; but on the return of this force to Medina, the insurrection bad been renewed, and a large force was consequvutly assembling at Camfidor, with a view to attempt its entire set tlement. The country, on the vicinity of Kos seir, bad been in a state of rebellion, which however had been put down by the Egyptian troops, although a formidable banditti still in fested that country These accounts give the full particulars of the late insurrection in Upper Egypt. By these it appears that in March last the deposed Sheik of a village near Thebes collected about eight hundred followers, and raised the standard of revolt against the Pada at a place called Staruac. lie possessed, it seems, considerable interest in the country, being looked upon as a sort of prophet, and w as seen joined by a multitude of insurgents armed . with pikes, old muskets, swords and clubs, to the extent, it was supposed, of 15,000 men: The Egyptian horse in that neighbourhood being unable to snake bead against aogreat o body retreated to Gumeh, where they had depots, and having collected about 800 men to garrison it, they entrenched the town. The insurgents, in the mean time, proceeded to overrun the country, and in eight or ten dnys ,150 miles along the hanks of the Nile were in their possession. While matters were in this state,Osman Bey, who was at Assuan with 2,000 di4ciplined Arabs, on his march to Senaar, halted on hearing of the revolt, and marched back . aiainst a party of the rebels who were with the :sheik, near Esneh. There there they had an engagetatent on the 4th of April, at a place called Ermentes, when the Bey's troops put the Insurgents to flight, killed about 1000 of them, and sacked the villages in the neighbourhooti. The Sheik, after this defeat, succeeded in Joining his force near Gomel); and there made a stand. Ife gave himself out as a Vizier, appointed by the Sultan, and used his seal. The Podia, on the other hand, offered a reward fur him of his weight in gold, and promised par» don to his followers, if they returned to their homes. Osman Bey, in the mean time, sent in: formation of his success to Gumeh, where Ahmed Pada had arrived with 1500 cavalry, WOO in 4 fantry, and thirty gun-boats. The two Chiefs settled to attack the rebels ott the 6th April.— ' The Pater thus attacked in front and rear, lied ; .about 2000 of them were , killed, and many were drowned iu the river. Time remainder made for the desert, where the greater part of them perished. During the insurrection the common'. cation across the aesart to Kessoir was stopped, the .Bedouins, who possess the desart north of that tract,tuwards Suex, having joined the rebels. Cartrrisu ' , Russ.] The Greek Government, we learn from geed authority, Is using every exertion to , free the classic soil - from the presence of, its late barbarian oppressors. Since the formation of the regular army, disciplined after the European system; the military operations of the Greeks limit, been con ducted with much greater vigour and effect. Of these troops 4,000 have been sent by the Greek Government, under the command of the most ex perienced commander in its service, to press . the siege of Petra's, and compel the Turkish garrison to surrender. ,At the same time, twelve ships 'of war have: been dispatched to cooperate by sea with the besiegers. We : may therefore expect that this important place Will soon fall into the bands of the victorious Greeks.' The arrival of ibe-,Gilmore from Bengal, and the Triton from Madras, was yesterday an nounced in the city, and letter's and . papers have been brought by both ships fur several of the `flOutes connected With India ; but they contain nothing new, as their intelligence was anticipated , by that of the General Palmer, which left Ma- Ares , a fortnight later. By the arrival of .the Guardian from Singapore, which place :she.left on .the 24th of July, we have received intelligence to the 23d of that month, by which we. learn ge nerally that produce has fully maintained .the prices it brought some time back, and that the market for European goods was not quite so brisk as when the former advices came away. • A great rise had taken place in the, price of every kind of spice,' which was there attributed tb : the cession of Sumatra to the Dutch ; and a belief was entertained that that Power would resume its former absurd prohibitory duties 'on the com merce of other nations. Little is, certainly to be expected- from the commercial', policy .of the Dutch ; they have lately shewn a very tolerable sample both of their. selfishness a nd - s t u pidity i ll the. Java Tariff; but still we can, hardly. conceive that they will attempt a similar proceeding with .regard to Sumatra, as the close .vicinity of our free port of Singapore must create. and maintain a smuggling trade' .between it and. their' posses sions in the Malay Archipelago, which will have the effect of utterly ruining.tbeir revenue in 'that. quarter.

" Witt► respect to Police Reports (the Lord Chief Justice said), they have greatly increased in numbers, and have now become very frequent ; but on that account they are not the less law ful." Ilis Lordship did not enter into the ques tion of utility or expediency, in which respect he displayed more tact than some of his brethren. We have only.to remark that the Courts of Law have always been bitter enemies of the Press— sometimes open, sometimes insidious. [MORNING HERALD.) A complaint was made in the Court of Chan cerg, a few days since, by one of the Learned Gentlemen, that the briefs were so voluminous as to render It impossible for Counsel always to read them, Something of a similar complaint has been since made in another Court—it was an ap plication to strike out several superfluous counts from, we believe, a declaration. This Volumi nousness of law papers has long been a mat ter of grievance and of pleasantry—for it is as ridiculous as it is mischievous. It is not surprising that the expence it brings upon the parties should not have checked the evil. This is seldom a consideration in these matters, especially where others have an in terest the other way. But it is extraordinary that in law, where clearness and precision are so neces sary, and so ostentatiously aimed at, there should be used a superfluous verbiage in style, which, so far from rendering meaning clear or precise, introduces uncertainty and vagueness. A check upon this introduction of irrelevant matter and superfluous phraseology would be a great saving of money and ► tine and is loudly called for—not only in the Courts of Justice, but in Parliament. One of the great grievances of the Statute-book is its voluminousness. The superfluity of words hero is such, that a folio might be reduced to the compass of a nut-shell without impair ing the sense—indeed, rather rendering it more obvious and exact. How the evil could be reme died in the Courts we will not take upon us *to say ; but there is an easy, remedy in Parliament. Let it be imperative upon the Honourable Mem ber ushering in a Bill to read it through, instead of reading only the opening words in each stage ; and more brevity of style will soon be called for by the impatience of tl►e Representatives of the People. There would also probably be fewer Acts of Parliament, as most likely many would be strangled in the first stage, to escape the ennui of hearing them read a second. It is strongty rumoured that a high Military Commander in the East Indies is about leaving that country on his return home, in consequence of a disagreement with the Gcivernor•General us to the expediency of striking a decisive blow with the Burmese, by marching an overwhelming force to the capital of the enemy, instead of ha rassinc; them by a few thousand troops on thtir . froll Lie ETH6 TIMES.] Our journal of this day contains a judgment of tlie"Court of kitties Bench, wherein the publi cation of paliCe` reports is reprehended as ; and a Proceeding at Bow-street, from which it appears thatthe publication 'of a previous pro ceediiigAt that otlice'has led to the detection of a robbery, ind - (to say nothing of the probability of conviction) ,the consequent recovery of the stolen goods., We may se t one against the other—practical utility against theoretic wrong.

Market, it I does not furnish sU fficient data to enable us to de- t cide. . Whilst the Oppesition Journals on the Royalist side affect the greatest alarm at these pre-. partitions, we see that theMinisterialPapers treat this alarm with derision ; aud - this ridicule, or affected unconcern, shews at least that the Go vernment is serious in its demonstrations. As a proof, of the anxiety, according to the Opposition Journals, wliich the measure had excited in Spain, it was recently stated by the Journal des I)cbats, and subiequently by the Aristarque, that the In fants, Don Francisco and Don Carlos,were prepar ing to quit the kingdom. To this statement a pe remptory denial is given by theEtoile,and certainly the contradiction has more the appearance of truth than the original assertion. If the infants were so alarmed, as has been stated, its first effect would be to prompt them to use' their influence, which is not slight at the Spanish Court, or at least with the dominant faction in that dis trneted country, to procure the concessions de. , • mantled by the French Government. It ap pears, on the contrary, that there is a gene ral wish among that infatuated party to get rid of the French, who have checked them much of late in their violent proceedings. This shews at least confidence in their strength on the part of the Serviles, if it betrays vindictive feelings of the most stubborn kind. But if this blind spirit of vengeance that will probably prove their ruin, by goading; the Constitutionalists to despair; who, though the depressed party now, are greatly superior in numbers, as well as talents, to their opponents. The presence of the French has hitherto prevented the former from using these advantages ; but when this cause is removed, and with it every hope of a mitigation of their suffer ings, it is not probable that they will long submit to the indignitiessihich they now suffer. France will probably feel no desire to interfere again ; for a second attempt would involve her in greater difficulties than the first; whilst the wisest course she could take would be to evacuate the country altogether, and Jet the 'strongest arm pre veil. She has evidently nothing to apprehend from the triumph of Constitutional principles ; whilst, to attempt to uphold the present tyranny, would be endless and hopeless labour. INDI A. SUPPLEMENT to/he LONDON G AZ ETTE Of SATURDAY, the 27th of NOVEMBER. MONDAY, NOV. 29 ). 1824. India-Board, November 29, 1024. Dispatches have been received at the East India-lltiuse from the Gpvernor-General in Council at Fort William, with in closures, of which the following are extracts and copies : Extract from a Letter from the 4lovernor-General in Council to the Secret Committee of the Court or Directors, dated Fort William, 2fith Ap r il lint We have much satisfaction in reporting the success which has attended our operations against Assam. After considerable delays, occasioned by the difficulty in procuring boats and sop.. 'plies, Brigadier 111‘.Morine moved forward with the force under his command, consistingof the Rungpore Light Infantry, Chum= perm ditto, and Dinageporu local battalion, with the flotilla of gun.boats, ou the 22d u ltiutu, and reached Gowahati, the capital of Can - nnop, on . the western division of Assam, on the 28th ult., without ex periencing the slightest r e sistance, notwith standing the strength of several of the enemy's positions, and the natural difficulties of,'the country. The Native Chiefs of Assam have waited upon Brigadierll‘lllorine,. and have maul:. tested the niest friendly disposition, but have not as yet atlbrded The Burmese, after evacuating sere rnanly.sl:rflo.e:giusatiti=i7successlon, without tiring a shot, appear to be in full retreat towards Ava. They have committed seve ral atrocious and sanguinary murders; and we regret to say that there is little chance of our troops overtaking them, as the advanced state of the season, and other unavoidable circuit. stances, had prevented our further forward movement. The Agent to the Governor-General, Mr. Scott, on hear ing of the occupation of Gowabati by our troops, proceeded across the hilly track which intervenes between Sylhet and Assam, to join Brigadier M'Morine, with an escort of three companies of the 2311 Native Infantry; and private accounts have been received from Sylitet, by which it appears that he had arrived in the neighbourhood of Gowahati on the 13th inst. without experiencing any difliculties or loss by the way. Copy of a Report from Captain Nonni to the Major. of Brigade at Chittagong, dated Camp, Ramoo, May 11,1024. St it —On the 9th inst. a naik, from the Itutnapulung stock ade, caine in with a Bengallee villager, stating that the latter had seen the enemy advancing upon Runtapullung, with four Chiefs and about 150 men, wishing to negotiate, which the naik also stated to be the case. ...... Conceiving °this to be some design of the enemy to put the Jemadar off his found, and thereby more easily gained posses :lion of the stockade, I determined upon moving with the whole of my disposable force to ascertain what their intentions were, leaving the convalescents of the 23e1, the whole of the provin cials, and one hundred Mugs, to protect the cantonement and sick, in case the enemy might detach a party to outflank me. I moved oil' about five P. M. the detachment 23d native in fantry leading. On our arriving near to the stockade (about half a mile), a heavy fire was opened upon us from the hills' on the left of the road, which the enemy had taken pos. session of in numbers and fortified ; their larger guns were fired from the further hill, and the smaller ones from the lower, thereby completely commanding the road. The naik of the provincial battalion, who had come . to give the report with the Bengallets in the first instance„, told me that we were vary near the plain where the stockade was ; I consequently pushed on with the detach.. went of the 234, and reached the plain. I then returned with a few men to bring on the guns, directing Ensign Campbell to follow, should I not join him In a short time. It was then to my disvpointment that Tfound that twO of the elephants had thrown their loads and blocked up the road. , This, Captain Pringle reported to me, was the f au lt o f th e ma houts. • To extricate the gun, which, 'together with' the gear, was hanging:to the elephant, we• were obliged to cat the ropes, but from the inexperience of Lieutenant Scott (having never seen guns carried on elephants before) , * trials, the golundauze brink resent after "man,'and none . of and fail ing in Al, I was - olinged AO leave it,- and Jake steps for carrying away the ammunition, w hich the other elephants had thrown Off And'also that which h a d been left on the road by "tne - e"olies, , who had'run Or • Previous to this, I had been Joints' be ~ neigh e au o e il, dye with difficulty succeeded in getting it away, chi e fly by the exertions Of the sepoys, the Mtig 4 listing hid thimiselves in the jungles, with the exception 7 fw : ,few, wholissisted theltepoys. • After this was effected, LyrOccettea quietly wi t h a small party of sepoys and en tie. pliant.

One of the Mugs fancied lie 'saw tome. !turmoils" creeping towards us, and commenced' tt running fire, which .has with difficulty stop. poi, otherwise w e remainea quiet. . The enemy were tiring a nd shouting whole time.

I regret to say our loss has been severe ; in all seven missing and eleven Wounded.. I am sorry to pay that Ensign Bennett is • among the latter, being severely wounded in the left arm, thotight trust pot of ,any very serious consequence. Ensign Camplielnikewiieieceived a hurt in the right ancle, from a spent ball, amt also some shots in his legs. The whole of the wounded are doing well. .! I beg to . .state,. that Oleic yie;•e'a few of the Mug levy that were under the iMmediatc bye 'of' Capt. Pringle (to whom every credit is due for his exertions) who behaved with great coolness and much to my satisfaction, as well in _firing. upon the enemy as in assisting our sepoys in carrying off the ammunition. The men of the detachment of the 2 '.3d native infantry advanced with great steadiness,' nothwithstanding the suddeness of the attack upon them, and the very heavy fire that was kept up for upwards of threeliours from a hidden foe; and I deem it but justice to Ensign Campbell and Bennett on the occasion to report, that they both deserve the greatest credit for their cool. ness and exertions throughout. I beg to add, that Lieut. Scott shewed every anxiety to bring the guns forward, but was. prevented by the circumstances above-mentioned. I have, &c. NOTON,Captain, commanding at Ramoo. Extract from' a Letter from the Governor-General in Council to the Secret Committee. of the Court of Directors, dated Fort William, 25th Alay 1824. * IVe regret to report that the Chittagong district has been in vaded by the Thinnest) in very, large force, and that the enemy has been successful in cutting off a detachment at Ramoo, con sisting of the right wing of the 231 native infantry, under the command of Captain'Noton, and three companies of the'2oth, commanded by Captain Truman, with two guns and n detail of artillery under Lieutenant Scott; also a party , of provincials and the Mug levy, commanded by Captain Pringle. We think it right to add, that the eight companies of regulars . 'above-men tioned ' were greatly reduced, both in numbers and efficiency, by the fatal effects of the climate of the southern parts of the.dis triet, and were already under orders to retire to the cantonment of Chittagong. It is not in our power to report the further progress of ope rations in Assam, Brigadier M‘Alorine having deemed it ne cessary to halt at Gowuhati, the capital of Western Assam, since hiS arrival there on the 28th March. By the last accounts .he had dispatched a small party of his force in advance to Kal- Behar. ,Mr. Scott had succeeded in penetrating across the hills of Jyntia, froM Sylliet, - into Assam, with a detachment of the 23d native infantry, and ;cached the Berhampooter 'at Nore gong, about seven days march east of Gowahati, on the . 28th ultimo. The peace at Cachar has not been disturbed since the diad of our last dispatch, but we have reason; to believe that the Bur: mese have again entered Munnipore irl force. By the last tie.: counts Rajah Gumbhur Sing was about to embark in the en: terprise for recovering that principality.from The Gevernment of Ava, with such three as he could raise, supported by arms and money irons the British Authorities.

With deep regret I acquaint you, for the information of his Excellency the Commander in• Chief, with the reports which reached me last night, that Captain Noton's detachment of the chief part of the right wing of the lst.battalion 23d regiment, are cut off, after hard fighting the whole of the 16th ; I fear all the Officers have fallen, but Lieutenant .Scott, of the Artillery, who escaped, wounded.

Sir—lnformation having been required relative to the re. treat of Captain Noton's detachment froM Ramoo, ox the 17th instant, we, being the only - surviving Officers, beg leave to forward a condensed statement of . the circurn. stances which have fallen under 'our observation, for the in. formation of Brigadier Shapland, C.B. commanding the district. The Burmese, amounting , it is supposed, to 10,000 men, advanced. on Bonwn, from the Ruttnapullungroad, and en. camped on the south side of the river the 13th instant ; on the following evening, being within gun-shot, and advancing ap. parently with the intention of fording the river, a party, with two six-pounders, under the command of Captain Trueman, was detached for the purpose of annoying the enemy, and frus. trating any attempt to cross ; this our troops eflivted. On the 15th, however, the enemy at , eight a. ut: advanced, and commenced entrenching themselves about three hundred yards in front of our position, the right, flank of which was protected by the river and by a tank, about sixty I)meg - in ad. Vance, this being surrounded by a high ernbanktitent,. serv ing as breast.work, was occupied by . the Picquet; who opened and kept up, without intermission a tire on the enemy during the whole slay and following night. Our posi- Aion was strengthened in the rear by a similar tank' to that is front, for the defence of which a strong detachment from the provincial battalion and Mug levy was allotted. On the morning of the Pith it was discovered that the enemy had during the night opened trenches on our left think, and bad considerably advanced those in front. A desultory tire was continued during the next twenty-four hours flout each tank, but with little effect on either side. By day-break On the 17th, the enemy had carried on their trenches to within . twelve paces of the picquet, and had also approached -to within a short distance of the tank in our rear ; they gained possession of the latter about lo o'clock, A.m., the troops defending it having of fy which crhema Lieutenanthir e r n f Scott, the Il .luwigol)e%• had y been quitted their post and lied with precipitation. The consterna. non caused by this quickly spread, and they were almost int. en se lle v ell e i r i:s e a l tn y etisY wo i( Un ni : w ei l was tied) were alarmed at the tumult and, fled. Shortly after this (our rear being now undefended) Captain Noton ordered a retreat, which was effected in good order for about half a mile, the two' six.ponnders being front necessity abandoned ; the enemy's cavalry, however, pressing hard upon the rear of, the column, a square was ordered to be formed, but in consequence of the excessive fatigue and deprivation which the troops had previously undergone, which ren. dered them absolutely incapfble of of any effectual resistance to the overpowering masses of the enemy pouring in on them on every side, the utmost exertions of ibe Officers to preserve discipline were unavailing, and on our arrival at the river the sepoys dispersed in every direction, and Individual safety became the primary object of each. Under these lamentable circumstances Ensigns Codring. ton and Campbell, having seen .the other Officers cut to pieces by the enetny, together with the greater part of the detachment, and deeming all further chance of re. sistence hopeless, escaped, the former, closely purstual, to Coxe'a Bazar, and thence by, water to Chittagong, and the latter, who was slightly wounded, by a circuitous route through the hills to the mina place. • We have Ike.
