" By the King, " CHARLES. " The Minister Secretary of State for the Department of the Interior, " CORBIERL" (From the Etuile, dated. Monday, Nov. 21.) ' BAyo4NE, Nov. 113.—The 2d Swiss Regiment vvh:ch is now here has received, by telegraph, • orf'ers to enter Spain ; it Will leave us the day after to-morrow, .and, with the Ist Swiss Regi ment, which is now at Madrid, will form the garrison of that capital. As soon as the 2d Swiss Regiment shall arrive at, Burgos, which will be on the 29th and 30th of this Month, the French garrison will commence its march to return to France. Cadiz and the other places retaining. Ow number of troops that • have been assign. , d them, the number Of French who will leave the Peninsula is estimated at 14,000 men. 'T here is, , therefore, now no doubt of the.return of a part of the French army. OnEssa, Nov. I.—Our accounts from Constantinople arc to the 23d October.. Not a single Mussebnan is now to be seen on the sea. The Turks have taken refuge at Mitylene, or izt.thaDardanelles, and the Egyptians at Smyrna. The Greek squadromt, on the contrary, chew themselves every where at .grace. After having observed for several days an obstinate silence respecting the late events, the Turks begin to confess that on the 7th October the Greeks again burnt one of their frigates and six light vessels. They do not even dissemble that the Cup. tain Paella's long boat was taken by the Christians, which proves' that the latter pressed hint pretty closely. But the Di van tapes care not to let the disasters of the Bth and 9th Octo bet be known. With the exception of some small vessels, the Turkish fleet was then entirely destroyed. Notwithstanding all the promises which the Sultan has made to our Emperor, Wallachia and Moldavia are not yet entirely evhcu ated. It should seem that the two Hospodars have excited the dis. trust of the Turkish Government. Their families have been seized within these few days, and conducted to Constantinople, to remain there as hostages. 'Cntts•ri:, Nov. B.—The Captain, who brought Lord .4trangford to our port, at the same, time brought us letters front Constantinople of 18th October. We find in them a fact .very worthy of attention. The Porte has given notice to the Ministers of the Christian' . Powers, that it considers itself as by no means bound by the bills of exchange given by Jnssuf Pacha, Governor of Patrol vtu pay for. the provisions supplied to that fortress. Hitherto their bills have been paid by the Imperial Treasury, but henceforward they will not be honoured. This declaration has caused a great sensation among the Europeans ; it is inferred from it, not only that the Exchequer of the Sultan is totally ex. haunted, but also that after the disasters of the campaign, the Divan has come to the resolution to abandon the Mores to itself. A vessel has just arrived which was in the Bay of Tchesme twe,ive days ago. The captain confirms all the particulars of the destruction of the Turkish fleet. Some poor remnants of it sir anchor under the forts of the Dardanelles+, are all that is left of it. The victorious Greeks have taken to Hydra a great tn..► Tty. vessel+ captured from the barbarians. THE REV. A. FLETCHER. Yesterday evening tl meeting of the friends of Mr- FLETCHER was held at the Albion Chapel, Moorfields, .• and in consequence of the *Lord Chancellor having given his decision in the case, the Chapel long before the commencement •of the business of the Meeting was crowded t excess. The proceedings tommenced with a short address delivered by Mr. F: fiotn the Ist verse of the 12fith Psalm—" When the Lord turned aside the captivity of Sion, we were like them that dreamed ; then was our mouth filled vith laughter," &c.— At the.conelusion of which Mr. FLETCHER was called to the • (;hair. • Mrs JOWES said that until the last few months they had en. I , joyed as a Chligref;atiol, the greatest comfort and happiness;,' . but the., happiness had since been disturbed by their enemies, whose setivey equalled their enmity. lie then made a .few general observations on the late proceedings; and concluded by •oongrattiletieg his friends on the victory they had gained. Air. ADa Me then addressed the Meetiqg ; after which, FLETCHER snid, be wished to speak with great caution and discretion as to the late proceedings ,1 as whatever he said would as far as possible be perverted by a party to suit their .OVIII purpose, lie regretted that the minds of his friends 'had been so much agitated on the subject, but the feeling of . gratitude their sympathy had excited, in his breast was greater - than be could express. li e then paid some high compliments to the Lord Chancellor, whose impartiality and love of justice he • • (,rfr. F.) maid never sufficiently admire, but who had acknow ledged that during his experience he had never met with a shnilar Case. Of the Solicitor-General he would say, that although some . parts of hie speech were not very pleasant to his ears, yet that he Must candidly admit that throughout the whole proceedings he had conducted himself like a Gentleman; in fact, said Mr. P. I applied to him to engage him on our side, but the otherparty :were beforehand with me. He however would correct him in one or two of his statements. He (the Solicitor General) had tedd, that he had engaged to submit to every decision of the Synod; that he begged leave to contradict ; he should be un worthy the name of a man if he had done so. A person in the gallery called out," A person who breaks a promise of matriage is unworthy of the name of a man."— lixtud cries of it Turn him out I") Ali. sms—We have officers here, and will not be molested. Mr, FLETCHER continued—lle did not find fault with the rules of the Presbytery, but with their tyrannical application.-- They had endeavoured by every possible means to cut him oft' from all connection with his congregation. The Solicitor fie. neral said' he (Mr. F.) had been summoned to appear before the Synod ; he was so, hut he woe denied the privilege of a common felon, who was alwuys permitted to have a copy of the charges brought against him.

By the General Palmer, whose :arrival hi the .Downs we mentioned yesterday, advices from Madras to the let of August have been received. This vessel has made a remarkably quick passage both out and home, having performed the voy age to Madras and back in eight months and three days. The drought which has been men tioned as prevailing in this place still conti nued ; there had been no ruin for many months, and serious apprehensions of a famine were enter-, tained. Accounts had reached Madras from Cal.. cutta up to the 1 Stit of July. In the extracts from the Papers from that Presidency, which are annexed, will be found the official account of an attack on a stockade at Kimmendine, by the troops under Sir A. CAstrakt.t, and also a report from the Officer in command at the taking of Cheduba, which proves to have been a more ar duous affair than was at first stated. Great ef forts were milking at Madras to send reinforce ments to the army acting against the Burmese. One brigade, under Colonel FAIR, had sailed for Chittagong, and several of the native regiments at Madras were under orders to he prepared to march at a moment's notice. They were en camped about nine miles from Madras, near the Artillery cantonments. The 54th and 69th regi ments were under similar orders. The following is an extract of a letter, dated Madras, July 30 : " As soon as the rains are over, and the Bengal troops col. lected at Chittagong, it is said that the whole force, about 20,000 men, under Sir Edward Paget, will move on the Bur mesicapital, Ummerapoora. The troops at Rangoon, who are at least 10,000 strong, are to cooperate by sailing up the bra. seedily river. We have four brigades of ' Madras troops at Rangoon under Brigadier.lieneral W. M'Bean, commanding the 54th Regiment; the 41st and 89th, King's; our Ist Euro. pean Regiment; the 7th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 10th, 18th, 43d, and 34th Light Infantry Native Regiments, together with a large detachment of artillery and pioneers. You will see the official accounts of what has been going on in that quarter of late, but nothing decisive has yet taken place, owing to the continued rains. The enemy have had a lesson they cannot soon forget at the several attacks at their stockades, where they have uniformly suffered severely. They appear to be a brave race of people, and were they disciplined in a more complete manner, would give es some hard work. As it is, we must expect a few more broken heads before thevar is over. It would seem that the Burmese have hitherto been totally ignorant of the British power ; for his goldenlooted Majesty, on receiving the accounts of the fall of Rangoon, actually sent orders to his several commanders to fight. the English ' sword to sword, teeth to teeth, and to drive them into the sea.' " (From a Calcutta Paper.) CALCUTTA, JULY 11. In addition to the extra which we issued yes terday, we have received communications to the 20th of June. No military operations have taken place since those we then mentioned. The Burmese are quite satisfied with what has been given them, only that they complain we do not fight fair. In the affair of the 10th they lost a Chief; and had many killed and wounded, They have abandoned all their works, which they had erected in the neighbourhood of Rangoon, and are acting strictly on the starving system—preventing by every possible means supplies being forwarded. A fowl is not to be had for love or money, and the army is on its own resources. These have been materially reduced by the troops from Madras joining. There is a sufficiency for the purpose of the main tenance of the whole, till further supplies can reach them from this. Ships have been dispatched to Calcutta for provisions; and we believe the want has been in some measure anticipated by Government. We understand that the troops will not pro ceed up the river till supplies are forwarded. Nothing, we imagine, will be lost by this, as the presence of our force at the southern extremity of the empire will divert attention from the co-operation preparing to the northward. We stated before that the Ernaad had arrived. Major Thornhill and Lieut. Kershaw, who, our readers will recollect, were wounded at Cheduba, are, we are happy to say, recovered, and arc doing du ty. The following Is a copy of the Government Gazette Extraor dinary issued last night:-- The following extract from a dispatch received from Briga dier.fleneral Sir Archibald Campbell, K.C.B. and K.C.T.S., is published for general information . • EXTRACT' OF A DISPATCH PROM BRIOADIER.GENERAL SIR ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, DATED ifiTH JUNE, TO GEORGE SWINTON, Efig., SECRETARY TO GOVERN. TIENT, SECT. AND . POLL• . DEPT., &C., FORT WILLIAM. Sir—Since I last did myself the honour of addressing you, Brigadier M'Creagh and the European part of the detachment sent against Cheduba have returned to headquarters, having fully executed the orders given by me, agreeably to the instruc tions I had received from the Right Hon. the Governor-tieneral in Council. The able and satisfactory manner in which Briga dier M'Creagh carried on the operations intrusted to him, will appear by the enclosed report, and the result has been such as might have been expected from the judicious arrangements of that experienced officer. Having completed my arrangements for striking a blow upon the enemy's force assembled here, on the morning of the 18th instant, although the weather continued most unfavour able, I moved upon the enemy's fortified camp and stockades at Keminendine, with about 3,000 men, 4 eighteen-pounders, four mortars, and some tield.pieces, sending two divisions of vessels up t he 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 frequently experienced the irresistible influence of the British bayonet, and it was now my wish they should also know that we had still other and perhaps more dreadful means of exterminating them in every stockade they might be found in. The country, season, and roads, rendered the undertaking extremely arduous, but not beyond the inexhaustible spirit of such soldiers as I com mand. About two miles from town the head of the column was stopped by a stockade apparently very strong and full of men : I ordered two heavy guns and some field-pieces so open it, while the troops surrounded it on three sides, but the jungle was so very thick • and close as to prevent the possibility of altogether cutting off the garrison. In less than half an hour a considerable gap was made in the outward defences of' the work, and the defendants not daring any where to show themselves. I ordered a part of the Madras European Regiinent, supported by part of the 41st Regiment, to charge, and the work was immediately carried, with a trifling loss on our part, the enemy leaving IGO men dead on the ground ; Ma. jor Chalmers leading the support of the 41st Regiment, and one of the first men in the breach, received a wound in the face from a apear, which 1 am happy to say is not dangerous. ' While this was going on under my own eye, a very spatted and sue. cessful attack was made on the other side of the stockade, by 'the advance companies of the 13th and 33th Regiments, who by assisting each other up the face of the stockade (at least ten feet high) entered about the same time as the party by the breach, putting every man to d eat h w h o o pp ose d th eir entrance ; and it aff'olds me pleasure to . state that the first man who appeared on the top of the work, was, I believe, Major Sale, of his Ma. jesty's 13th Light Infantry . This point gained, the column again moved forward nearly a mile, where our left wing was posted, communicating with the flotilla on the river about h a lf p a mile, under the great stoc. kale and fortified camp; the head of the column moving up to the right with great toil and labour through the thick and tens. cious jungle, for the purpose of again reaching the river above the stockade, and thus completely 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 exposed my right to certain let,s, and not being able to in. vest the whole of the enemy's extensive fortifications, I was un. tier the necessity ofleaving about a hundred yards, between our tight and the river, unoccupied ; , but as the principal work ap. peared full of men, animating each other with loud and boisterous cheering, I still hoped they would remain till the impression I intended had been made. At four, r. M. my troops were In position In many places within a hun dred yards of the place ; but in all parts with .ft very thick jungle in front, extending to the very bottom of the stockade. The night passed do erecting batteries and making preparations for opening the guns at day-light next morning; the enemy continuing loud and incessant cheering till after day light in the morning. The moment we had sufficient light on the following day, a heavy and well directed fire was opened from our breaching and mortar batteries, which was kept up far nearly two hours, when a party advancing to observe the breach, found 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 ob-, serving when it took place. The stockade, you will observe by the accompaning plan, is one of great strength, and capable.of being obstinately defend. ed. It was zartisoned by the Most desperate crews .of the' enemy's war-boats, and it cannot be Soubted that the dreadful 1 example of the day before, and awfil effects of our opening firing, alone could have induced men rossessed (as the Burmese unquestionably are) of great personal courage to give it up. The object I had in view has thus been fully accomplished ; a general pause and terror of our arms at present prevail among the troops lately opposed to us, and from one or two recon noitring parties which have since been sent out, I find that every stockade in our neighbourhood has been evacuated ; and. I have reason to think the enemy has retired to so distance from our front. I continue to receive every assistance and co-operatio kom Captain Marryat, K. N., and the ships employed under-his command. General Return of Killed,.

On board the Honourable Company's ship Ernaad, River Rangoon, 11th of June, 1824. TO BBIGADIER-GENERAL SIR A. CAMPBELL, &C. &C. &c. SIR-1 have the honour to report, that in execution of the service you assigned me, I anchored on the eastern side of the island of Cheduba, with the transport Anna Robertson, in com pany,.on the night of the 12th of last month, and found the other transport and his Majesty's ship the Slaneu already there. I immediately conferred with Captain Mitchell, and on the 13th Lieutenant Mathews of that ship made a bold and very intelligent reconnoissance up the small river on ,which the enemy's town is situated, and in our entire ignorance of the localities, his report was of essential use to me in arranging the disembarkation. The ships lay three miles from the shore outside of a mud flat which stretches parallel with the land, and is nearly dry at low water, and the coast on this side is covered with jungle to the edge; indeed, the mouth of the river i s not di st i ngu i s h a b le at a very little distance. We moved towards it on the morning of the 14th with as much men as the boat would hold-200 of his Majesty's 13th Light Infantry Regiment, and 100 of the 20th Native Infantry. On the southern bank a short distance up was an outpost, which was immediately taken possession of by a small party from the leading boat, the Burmese retiring from it without re sistance. The river varies in breadth from about 40 to 100 yards, the jUngle on both s id es exten di ng far into the water.— About half a mile further up the ground is cleared and culti vated, and the enemy became visible lining a trench of 300 yards extent, on the edge of the northern bank, with their right flanked by a bridge over the rivers. They permitted our boats to range along until the headmost.arrived opposite their right, and then opened a fire of musketry and swivels, accompanied by flights of arrows. The bank was steep and som ew h a t diffi cult, but two orthree parties of the 13th were soon on its sum. mit in spite of the enemy's efforts, who opposed diem with con. siderable boldness : a few minutes' firing followed, while the remaining boats landed their men, and they fled, leaving up wards of 20 killed; and many wounded. Their village or town commences near the spot a t w hi c h we h a d l an d e d , and I imme diately moved up the street in pursuit ; on arriving at the end of it (about a quarter of a mile), we found a stockade, into which they had retired, arid from which they opened a fire as soon as we appeared. It was a square of about 200 yards each face, the outward piles from 16 to 20 feet high, and embank. meat and a parapet within them, salient gateways in each face, and a triple row of railing round the entire exterior, appeared to be in good order, and the tire was from several six-pounders, as well as swivels of various calibre and musketry. I immediately lodged parties at such points close to the work as afforded tolerable cover; ordered the howitzer and two or three ship guns ashore, together with the remainder of the sepoys ; and mean time marked off a buttery within 100 yards of their front gateway. The weather now became exceedingly unfavourable, but as all gave their most hearty and zealous en -deavoura to ie execution of what was pointed out to them, Our want of proper materials, implements, and workmen was Bur mounted. Repeated feints upon the enemy's left sufficed to turn his attention from our working parties on his right, and during tile night of the 16th two nine.poundera and a carronade on ship-carriages were placed in the battery, the hut that masked it pulled down, and it opened in the morning. Its fire was soon decisive on the gateway, which having been their last thoroughfare, was not so strongly embanked as the others. Having prepared some seamen with axes and ropes to accom pany the column, I ordered it forward : it moved rapidly to its point, headed by Major Thornhill's company of his Majesty's 13th; a few moments sufficed to complete the destruction of the wounded spars, and we were speedily in the stockade, fol lowed by the reserve under Lieutenant-Colonel Hampton of the 20th Native Infantry. The Burmese chief in command was killed near the point of attack : they abandoned their interior defences (a trench and breastwork), and fled through their rear gate, leaving a great number killed. Considering that throughout these little operations our in vestment was very close, and the enemy's fire kept up without any intermission, I am happy to say thut our loss has been singularly small. . Where all evinced not only ready obedience but the utmost zeal, it would be difficult to remark upon individual claims to notice, but my thanks are due to Lieutenant-Colonel Hump. ton, commanding the detachment of the 20th Native Infantry, and to Brevet-M a i or Thornhill, of his Majesty's 13 th , for the manner In which t h ey an d t h e i r o fficers and men fulfilled their duties: the la t t er o ffi cer was woun ded by a spear while leading his men into the stockade. lam also much indebted to Lieu. tenant Molina, of the 15th, (Brigade-Mikjor), for the active and valuable assistance he afforded me throughout. I must do myself the pleasure to acknowledge the cordial co-operation that I received from Captain Mitchell, of his Ma jesty'a ship Stoney, who accompanied me at the disembarka tion, and to whose readiness in affording every assistance his ship could supply, the service was importantly indebted ; and the exertions of his seamen, under the immediate command of Lieutenant Matthews, in getting the suns landed and as. suiting in the battery, .contributed essentially to accelerate the esult. On the 19th, one of our reconnoitring parties, under Capt. Aiken, of his Majesty's 13th, succeeded in capturing the Rajah, who was concea l e d w i t h som e of his followers in t h e jungle, a few miles in the interior. It appears that of 600 Burmese, who about a month previous to an attack were sent over to assist in the defence of the island, little more than 300 survived the contest unhurt; and the Chedubans whom they had mustered to assist in the defence of the stockade have also suffered considerably. The surviving Burmese passed over to the main land, Having made such arrangements regarding the island as circumstances admitted, 1 re.embarked the European part of my force in confonnity with your orders, and sailed with the ships Ernaad and Anna Robertson on the 31 of the present I month, leaving Lieutenant-Colonel Hampton with his detach ment of the 20th Native Infantry, and his Majesty's ship Slaney, in possession, and on the most friendly understanding with the inhabitants. On the 6th we lost sight cf the islands ; on the 9th we made Negrais, with the intention of visiting and reporting to you the situation of the detachment you had ...to ordered there ; but the weather becoming so threatening as to render it unadvisable to risk ships in such a situation, I stood on for this place, and anchored off the bar of the river this day.

MAMAS, juvir 30.—0 n. the 19th inst. letters were received here from Bengal, stating that all alarm from the incursion of the Burmese at Ramoo had subsided, but the military opera tions on the side of Assam were likely to be unimportant for some time, on account of the state of the season. Some of the letters from Madras, dated Ist August, are of a most unpleasant nature. Intelligence had been received from itangoon to the 12th June. The operations of : the British force in that quarter had been paralysed, it is stated, by a Serious misunderstanding among the military commanders. This state of affairs is said to have been not of recent date, and to have arisen from some offence taken at some proceedings of the Governor-Oeneral. A. high military officer had in consequence tendered his resigna tion. The reports from Rangoon were, " There was no unani mity among the officers assembled for the purpose of opening the campaign." Several mercantile letters from Madras, received yesterday, state that the markets there are brisk. British piece, goods have met with a rapid and profitable sale; but it is said that the indigo crop in that presidency has entirely failed. Should there be another crop in Bengal as had as there has been for the last two years, that article will be higher in the 'European market than it ever has been known. At Singapore the market for British produce has been good beyond example, every species of British manufacture being in high demand, and the prices excellent. From the LONDON GAZETTE, Nov. 23.)
