The capture of Zeitouni by the Greeks is a most important ad- Thtage, fo r it r enders certain the conquest of 488 aly, and ensures the tranquil possession of Mvadia. The accounts from Constantinople among 166 e Extracts, and the report of the Oriental BPPctator, the Turkish Journal published at So ma, endeavour to shew that the naval action of the 7th of October was, of little importance ; hut unhappily for the credit of these statements, we have the testimony of an Impartial eye witness of that action in the Commander of t he French corvette La Victorieuse, who states, t hat " the affair lasted the whole night, that the Turks were beaten, and' that five of their ships were blown up, of which two were corvettes." lit "hart, the return of the Captain Paella to the Dar. 4 , 1 411e5, with only three ships of war, and the f act of AIIIN PacHA, the son of the Viceroy of gYPt,being a prisoner in the hands of the Greeks, levee no doubt of the termination of the naval c a mpaign, and of the total discomfiture of the l'gr kti and their Egyptian Allier.

It may therefore be in. ferred that the French Government can place no confidence in FERDINAND, whose obstinacy, caprice, and perfidy have bidden defiance to every reasonable suggestion for the improvement of the system by which he inflicts punishments of all kinds upon his unfortunate subjects, and brings disgrace upon his country. It appears that his brothers CARLOS and FaANcts have solicited per mission to leave Spain, whether from fear of their personal safety on the removal of the French troops, or from despairof seeing the wretched FERDIDNAND adopt a better system of Government. It may be presumed, that though FERMIVAND is under the influence of a fanatical 'Junto, and that a great part of the rabble support their furious proceedings, yet the general good sense of the country may be expected to rise above the en thusiastic bigotry of such miscreants, and in in due time to restore the Cortes to authority. It is an old maxim, that new times bring forth new men, and though many of the old Cortes have been drawn from the country, it may be hoped that sound and resolute Patriots will still he found to start forward and rescue the nation from the odious tyranny and oppression by which it is at present overwhelmed.

MONDAY; NOV. 29, 1824. Indio-Board, November 29, 183. Dispatches have been received at the East India-House from the Governor-General in Council at Fort William, with in- closures, of which the following are extracts and copies : Extract from a Letter from the Governor-General in Council to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors, dated Fort William, 26th April 1824. 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 sup. Iplies, Brigadier M‘Morine, moved forward with the force under his command, cnn sisting of the Run gpore bight Infantry, Chum. parum ditto, and Dinagepore local battalion with the fl otilla of gun-boats, on the 22d ultimo, and reached Gowahati, the capital of Camroop, on the weinern division of Assam, on the 28th ult., without experiencing the slightest resistance, 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 Brigadier M'Morine, and have inani. fested the most 'friendly disposition, but have not as yet afforded any effectual assistance. The Burmese, after evacuating seve ral- strong stockades in succession, without firing 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 circum• stances, had prevented our further forward movement. The Agent • to the Govemor-General, Mr. Scott, on hear. ing of the occupation of Gowabati . by our troops, proceeded across the •hilly track which intervenes between Sylliet and Assam, to join Brigadier M'Morint, with an escort of three companies of the 23d Native Infantry; and private accounts have been received from Sylhet, by whish it appears that he had arrived in the neighbourhood " of Gowahan oil the 13th inst. without experiencing any difficulties or loss by the way. Copy of a . l . leport from Captain Noton to the Major of Brigade at ChittitgoN, dated - Camp, jtamoo, May 11,18'24 Sin--On the 9th inst. a naik . ,.from'the Itutntipulung stock. ade, came in with a Bengallee vfllager, stating that the latter had seen the enemy advancing upon Rutnapullung, 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 Jentadar Off his guard, and thereby more easily gained pose* 'Mon 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 23d, the whole of the provin. cials, and one hundred Mugs, to protect the cantonement and sick, in case th e enemy might detach a party to outflank me. I moved off about five P. n. 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 Bengallee in the first instance, told me that we were very near the plain where the stockade was ; I consequently pushed on with the detach ment of the,23d, 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 disappointment that I found that two of the elephants had thrown their loads and blocked up the road. This; Captain Pringle reported to me, was the fault of the mahouts. 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 seep guns carried on elephants before), and none of the golmidauze being present, after many trials, and fail ing in all, I was obliged to leave it, and take steps for carrying away, the ammunition, which the other elephants had thrown tifl, and also that which had been left on the road by some coolies, who had run ofF. Previous to this, I had been joined by Ensign Campbell. We with difficUlty succeeded in getting it away, chiefly by the exertions of the sepoys, the :Mugs having hid themselves in the jungles, with the exception of a very few, who assisted the sepoys. After this was etfected4 I proceeded quietly with a small party of sepoys and an de. pliant, and brought in the gun, with as many things as I could find, though several articles are missing. To give the men some rest, and an opportunity of pro curing water, I took up a position on the plain, and there remained on the alert during the night. One of the Mugs fancied lie saw some Burinalis creeping towards us, and commenced a running tire, which was with difficulty stop. ped, otherwise we remained quiet. The enemy were firing and shouting during the whole time. From the circumstance of tite ammunition coolies having deserted, and the guns being rendered perfectly useless, by the great deficiency in the detail of artillery, and not placing any confidence in the Mugs for sup port, should we again have experienced a fire from the hills, even by taking a circuitous route, and there being no possibility of procuring supplies for the men, I deemed it most prudent to return again to Ramoo, there to await the arrival of Captain Trueman's detachment, as well as to obtain further information as' to the strength of the enemy's force. On my return to Itamoo, was surprised to hear that the Jemadar, with his party from Rutnapullung, had arrived about two hours before. I regret to say our loss has been severe ; in all seven missing and eleven wounded. I urn sorry to say that Ensign Bennet is among the latter, being severely wounded in the left arm, though I trust not of any very serious consequence. Ensign Campbell likewise received a hurt in the right uncle, from a spent ball, and also some shots in his legs. The whole of the wounded are doing well. I beg to state that there were a few of the Mug levy that were under the immediate eye of Capt. Pringle (to whom every credit is clue for his exertions) who behaved with great coolness and much to my satisfaction, as well in firing upon the enemy as in assistiag our sepoys carrying off the ammunition. The men of the detachment of the Al 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 three hours from a hidden toe; anti I deem it buttustice to Ensigns Campbell and Bennett on the occasion to report, that they both deserve the greatest credit (or their cool. ness and exertions throughout. I beg to add, that Liout. Scott chewed every anxiety to bring the guns forward, but was prevented by the circumstances above-mentioned. I have, &c. T. NO'I'ON, Captain, commanding at Ramo°. Extract from a Letter from the Governor-General in Council to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors, dated Fort William, 25th May 1824. We regret to report that the Chittagong district has been in.. vatted by the Burmese in very large force, and that the enemy has been successful in cutting off a detachment at Ramon, can slating of the right wing of the 03d native infantry, under the command of Captain Noton, and three companies of the 20th, commanded by Captain Truman, with two guns and a 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 trict, and were already under orders to retire to the cantonment of Chittagong. It is not in our power to report the further progress of ape rations in Assam, Brigadier M'Morine having d ee med it ne cessary to halt at Gowahati, 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 Eel. liabar. Mr. Scott had succeeded in penetrating across the hills of Jyntia, from Sylhet, into Assam, with a detachment of the 23d native infantry, and reached the Berhampooter at Note. gong, about seven days march east of Gowahati, on the 28th ultimo. The peace at Cachar has not been disturbed since the date of thela st e ac . founts our last dispatch, but we have reason to believe that the Bur. mere h embark t h i n e ter p r ise for recovering that principality from the Government of ieav Rajah a o in umbilu en t eredr Sing lVlun wins po u re bou in t f to orce e Ava, with such force as lid could raise, supported by arms and money from the British Authorities.

I enclose a report of the Officers who hafe escaped after the action. 0 1/ Copy of a Report from Lieutenant Scott and Ensi , Tris Codring ton and Campbell to Brigade-Major White,' dated Camp, Chittagong, 20th May, 1824. Sir—lnformation having been required relative to the re treat of Captain Noton's detachment from Ramon, on the 17th instant, we, being the only surviving Officers, beg leave to forward a condensed statement of the circum stances which have fallen under our observation, for the .in- . formation of Brigadier Shapland, C. 13. commanding the district. The Burmese, amounting. it is supposed, to 10,000 men, advanced on Ramoo, from the Ruttnapullung road, and en- • camped on the south side of the river the 13th instant ; en the following evening, being within gun-shot, and advancing ay patently with the intention of fording the liver, a party, with two six-pounders, under the command of Captain Truman, was detached for the purpose of annoying the enemy, and frus trating any attempt to cross ; this our troops effected. On the 15th, however, the enemy at eight a m. advanced. and commenced entrenching themselves about three hundred yards in front of our position, the right think of which was protected by the river and by a tank, about sixty paces in ad vance, this being surrounded by a high embankment, serv ing as a breast-work, was , occupied by the picquet, who opened and kept up, without intermission a fire on the enemy during the whole day and following night. Our, posi. tion - was strengthenecrin the rear by a similar tank to that in front, for the delence.of.which a strong detachment from the provincial battal on and Mug lev,was allotted. On the morning of the Ifith it was discovered that the enemy had during the night opened trenches on our left flank, and had considerably advanced those in front. A desultory fire was continued during the next twenty four hours fiom 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 packs of the ptcquet, and had also approached to within a short distance of the tank in our rear; they gained possession of the latter about II) o'clock, a.st., tile troops defending it having quitted their post and fled with precipitation. The consume non caused by this quickly spread,, and they were almost iin. mediately followed by the remainder of the Mug levy. The elephants (on one of which Lieutenant Scott, who had been *ever* wounded, was tied) were alarmed at the tumult and fled. shortly after this (our rear being now nndefentled) Captain Noton ordered a retreat, which was effected in good order for about half a mile, the two six-pounders being from 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 incapable of offering any effectual resistance to the everpowering masses of the enemy pouring in on them on every side, the utmost exertions of th'e 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 tat and Campbell, having seen the other Officers cut to pieces by the enemy, together with the greater part of the detachment, and deeming all further chance of re. sistence hopeless, escaped, the former, closely pursued, to Coxe's Bazar, and thence by water to Chittagon,g and the latter, who was slightly wounded, by a circuitous route through the hills to the same place. %%It! have, Ac.

Extract from a Letter from the Governor-General in Council to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors, dated • Fort William 2d June 11124. We avail ourselves of the immediate departure of a ship for England, to transmit to your Honourable committee copies of dispatches received this day from BrigudieNtien. Sir Archi bald Campbell, announcing the capture of Rangoon * on the Ilth ult. and beg leave to offer to your Honourable Committee our congratulations on this highly interesting and important OWL We are happy to inflirm your Honourable Committee that, by the latest accounts from Chittagong, it appears that the Burmese troops had not ventured to advance from the in trenchments thrown up by them at Rama°, after the defeat of our detaahment at that place; that the temporary alarm occa sioned by that disaster was rapidly subsiding, and that the reinforcements approaching Chittagong would speedilyy . place the troops at that station in a condition to undertake of operations against the enemy, should the season still admit of our advance to the southward. lore than one half of the sepoy6 of the Ramoo detachment, reported to have been cut °W in the ac tion of the Itith. had returned to Chittagong unhurt, but we re ret to say, that of the six Officenistated to have been killed no hope remains that any of them survive. The detailed report of this affair was published in the Supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday, the 23d No vember. TILE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 29.
