1 N 0 1 A. -,-~.~-- (prnin the Calcutta Government Gazette of March 14.) The Ceres has arrived from Rangoon the 2d of March. The heads of intelligence by this op portunity are as follows : The army under the personal command of Sir Archibald Campbell was at Laing on tt•.e 2 . 2 d ultimo. This place is about sixty miles from Rangoon. Their advance has been unopposed, and the country is represented to be rich and beautiful. The men were in excellent health. The force of the enemy was said to be still concentrated at Donabew. \Ve had already turned the whole of their fortified positions on the Irawuddy, below Emmy, which place Sir Archibald Campbell hoped to reach in a few days. Brigadier Cotton's column was scouring every thing before it on the great river, and much benefit was ex pected from Major Sale's taking Bassein.. OFFICIAL. FORT-WILLIAM, MARCH 14, 1825. The allowing Copies and Extract of Dispatches received from Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Campbell, K.C.B. and K.C.T.S. are herewith published for general information : To George Swinton, Esq. Secretary to Government, Secret and POlitical Department, &c. &c.,&c. Fort William. in.—Deeming it of importance, previous to the troops finally breaking up from quarters, to dislodge the enemy's advanced division from their defenzes on the Lyng River,.l directed Lt.- Colonel Godwin to proceed with a body of troops to Tantabain, and summon the enemy to retire from his works, which, in the event of the summons not b&ng attended to, he was further di rected to take possession of by force of the arms. A &tail of the operations of the column is herewith sent, affording me' another opportunity of bringing the notice of the Right Hon. the Governor-General in Council the judgment and decision of Lieut.-Colonel Godwin and Captain Chads, R.N. (appointed by Captain Alexander to the naval command on that service), and bearing no less honourable testimony to the irresistible intrepi dity so often displayed both by soldiers and sailors on this ex pedition. 1 have, &c. (Signed) A. CAMPBELL, Brigadier-General. Head Quarters, Rangoon, Feb. 11, 1825. RaarGoosr, FEB. 9, 1825. To Brigadier-General Sir A. Campbell, K.C.B. and K.C.T.S. Commander of the Forces in Burmah. Six—The force you did me the honour to place under my com mand on the sth inst., for the capture of the enemy's works at Qungalle or Tantabain, reached that point on the 6th, at five in the evening. I am to premise that on the morning of the 6th the Flag of Truce was sent up with the two Burmese prisoners, conveying your Proclamation, and which was re ceived by the enemy, and replied to most respectfully, ex plaining the inability of the Chief to surrender, in a lan guage of mildness rarely used by this vain and barbarous people. The position of the enemy was a strong and imposing one, upon the point of a peninsula, forming an angle of 1,440 paces, strongly stockaded, and abattised down to the bank of the river, but entirely open to the rear. The Satellite armed ship, towed by the steam-boat, and di rected by Captain Chads, his Majesty's ship Arachne, laid her •roadside on so admirably, as to enfilade the whole of the prin cipal face of the works. At half-musket shot we were received with thirty-six pieces of artillery, independently of jinjals, and two thousand men.— This was forcibly replied to by the guns of the Satellite, as sisted by Capt. Graham, of the Bengal Rocket Troop, who, by the most excellent practice with his rockets from the steam boat, surprised them with an arm of offence that will prove a Most formidable weapon. - I perceived from the Satellite the work all around-was easily assailable, and in ten minutes after the signal was made, the place was stormed, leaving in our possession thirty-four pieces of cannon. The enemy suffered severely, and were followed for a mile and a half. I have again the pleasure to mention the name of Lieu tenant Keels, of his Majesty's ship Arachne, who, with Lieutenant Hall, of his Majesty's ship Alligator, and .their boats' crews, were the first to enter the enemy's position, stilt' their conduct was most conspicuous. These were followed by Captain O'Reilly, with the grenadiers of his Majesty's 41st It egitnent. Our loss, I am most happy to say, is comparatively nothing; and this is accounted for by the boats containing the troops being placed under the land out of the enemy's first opening their fire till they were to storm by signal. The next day, the 7th, the two branches of the Palong River were reconnoitred; the right by Captain Chads, whom I accompanied, and the left by Lieutenant Keele for eighteen miles up, and an immense quantity of fire-rafts were de stroyed. May I request your thanks to Captain Chads, his Majesty's ship Arachne, commanding the naval part of the expedition, for the large share he had in the capture of this post; for Captain Graham, Bengal Rocket Troops, Captain Waterman, ltis,Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, Assistant QeArtermaster- Qeneral, and Lieutenant Cochran, his Majesty's 41st Regi-- inent s. my Acting Brigade Major. The conduct of the details of the European and Native Corps reflects the highest honour Oil their respective regiments, and merits your warmest appro bation. _ _ I have the honour to be, Zrz.

Extract of a Dispatch from Brigadier-General Sir A. Camp bell, dated Feb. 23, 1825. My letter of the 12th instant would inform you of the imme diatt advance of the different columns composing tree small field `force from the army under my command. The land column under my own immediate orders arrived here yesterday,sa dis tance from Rangoon, by the road, of fifty miles, without having met the slightest opposition, although a strong division of She 'enemy, under Mafia, Silwah, waited our approach in the old Tabun fort at 11Iophie, until I had actually made my disposition • for attack, when it broke and dispersed , into a close jungle in the rear. The Carian inhabitants of the country through which we have passed have , viewed the expulsion of the Burmese with much satisfaction : they hare received us ,with kindness and , friendship ; their ruined villages and fields laid waste convince me they must be sincerely happy at the change; and I have endeavoured to confirm the hope of peace they entertain by the enclosed proclamation, which has already pro cured us some assistance in rice, road making, and slaughter buffaloes. • • I have not heard directly from Brigadier-General Cotton, ' - since I left rangoon, hut prisoners inform me Panlanghara been taken with great eas•_, the Kce Woongee and his troops retiring before my marine column. upon Danoobew ; there, by all ac counts, the whole Burmese force still remains, with what inten tion I cannot understand, for by all the rules of modern war fare, the position of Danoobew is turned the instant I reach the ,Irrawuddy either at Saraoo or Naugur ; the intervention of a broad and rapid stream, with the want of pontoons, will neces sarily ,prevent me from deriving the full advantage my-situation would otherwise give me, but I shall at least prevent the Bur mese army from crossing to the left bank of the riverin sufficient time to cover Prome. Ido not, of course, expect to reach that . point without some fighting, but to the best of my . information . there is nothing now in my front that could materially impede my progress. Proclamation by Brigadier General Sir Archibald Campbell, K.C.B, and K.C.T.S., Commander of the English Army in the dominion of the King of Ava. INHABITANTS OF THE BURMESE EMPIRE! The English forces have come amongst you to seek redress for the cruel murders and numerous insults your arrogant Court had the presumption to inflict upon, and offer to, the . subjects of the British Government, in a time of pro found peace. A great and generous nation, confident in its own strength, like that of the British empire in India, tried every thing pos sible, by mild and temperate expostulation, to make your , Court sensible of the enormity of its conduct. and the inevitable consequences that a perseverance .in it would occasion. Thes e remonstrances tended only to increase the insolence of the ,- , Court of Ava. Recourse to arms was, therefore, the only mea sure left to the English in support of their own rights and Aignity4 What that appeal has already produced it is tinne cessary for me to say ; you all know it. The bravery of my troops has already deprived the Court of Ava of its maritime provinces of Mergui, Tavoy, Yeb, lartaban, and the island of Cheduba. The ancient kingdom of Pegu has become a desert from the ravages of war. The most powerful armies possible for your Court to get together have ben against us; we have dispersed them like chaff; Since , the arrival of my force at Rangoon, in the month of May laSt, we have, at dif ferent periods, taken from you more than 700 pieces of artillery • and small arms, too numerous to be counted, and your loss in lives has been, as you all know, most enormous ; and with • you, on that account, I lament the tears'of aged parents, sisters, widows, and innocent children. All this has been endured merely to support the folly and obstinacy of your Court, to whom our peaceable desires have been made known. Yet it still abstains from offering any reparation for the wanton cruelties and unprovoked injuries I have already mentioned. It only, therefore, remains for me to carry the victorious •English arms not only to your Capital, but to the remotest parts of your kingdom, till your Court is brought to a proper sense of that justice, honour, and policy, due from one neighbouring State to another. Having thus briefly explained the cause of our coming in arms arnongat you, you will see and fully understand that to your own King and Government alone have you to attribute all the past calamities of the war, and such as may still ensue from its further progress. My most anxious .desire is to alleviate those miseries towards the peaceable and innocent inhabitants, to the very utmost of my power. Skew yourselves, therefore, deserving of that feeling towards you by keeping, as we ad vance, yourselves and your families peaCeably.and quietly in your houses, and you may depend upon the most inviolable protection of your persons and property. Bring to my army such articles of the produce of your farms and inustry, as you wish to dispose of—every thing will be paid for with the most scrupulous Edelity. I ask you not to take up arms, or any part whatever in. the war 4 I have troops sufficient for all the objects I have in view, without any further aid. May the spirit of your forefathers direct your hearts to follow the line of con duct I have laid down for your guidance, which will ensure for you, as I have already promised, my fullest protection, and every respect to your religion, temples,.&c. &c. Given under my hand and .seal, at Rangoon, the first day of February, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five. (Signed) .A. CAMPBELL, B. G. &c. By Order, (Signed) .J..J. SNODGRASS, M. S. By command of the Right Hon. the Governor-General in Council, GEO. SWINTON, Sec. to the Government. (From the Calcutta John ,Rull.) A 1111ACAN. It appears that Commodore Hayes entered the Great Arracan River on the 22d ult. ,Having received information which in duced him to believe that the principal Mug Chieftains were confined at Chambala, a stockade garrisoned by about 1000 men, half a tide from the capital, whose liberation would prove of essential service to the advancing army, he determined upon attacking the work. Accordingly, on 'the 23t1 ult., he stood up the Promo Pura Khione, or Branch,Jeading from the Oreea tung River to Arracan, in the .Research, Vestal, and several gun-vessels, having on board. one company of the 54th regi ment. At two P.M. they came , in sight of.the enemy's works, who soon afterwards opened a heavy fire upon the Gunga Sau- gor and Vestal, the headmost vessels. The .Research getting within half-pistol shot, commenced a heavy cannonade and fire of musketry upon the stocked and breast work, which was re turned by the enemy with great regularity.and spirit. On ranging to the northern end of the stockade, with intent to an chor and flank it, as well as to allow the other . vessels to come into action, the Commodore found his ship raked from forward by another stronger battery and stockade, of which he had no previous information. After a severe engagement of two hours' duration, the tide beginning to fall, the Commodore was obliged to wear round and drop..down the river. Both the Research, Assergurh, Asia, Felix, and Isabella, .took the ground, and remained fast for -severarhours near the batteries, but the enemy made no attempt to fire at or.mtilest them. We deeply lament to state that Major Schalch fell -mortally. wounded, about half an ,hour after the action commenced. .He had suffered much irom a mg) de roleil at MtingdoO, and joined Commodore Hayes in the Naaf, for the benefit of his health, which .was quite re-established, „when the melancholy event took place. Ile received his wound whilst standing on the front part of the poop alongside -el the Commodore, and fell into his arms, exclaiming, "I am killed." He lingered for several hours, and expired at liall,past three. on the morn ing of the 25th Pn the same day the remains of this valued and lamented officer were consigned to the sleep with military honours. Mr. Rogers., second officer of the Research, was killed, with three privates of his Majesty's 54th Regi ment.; two ditto of the same regiment were wounded, and about 30 of the crews of the different vessels engaged received wounds more or less severe.. -One of theintelligenceilurkaras, and 'a principal Mug -Ze minder, who escaped from Chambala during the confusion which followed the attack, report, that-the enemy's works were of fat greater strength than had been supposed, eonsiating of three large stockades, .garrisoned by about 3,000 of the best Burmese, soldiers, .besides Mugs *pressed into the service. There were present five Golden di:malls, viz.—Nakoonda, one of the heroes of Ramo° and a character well known as com manding at Mundoo ;hen the disturbances first commenced on the Naaff, , the Rajah of Arracan's son; a .Sereedagee, or Secretary; and two inferior Chiefs. All the Mungdoo .and Lowadlrung troops were . posted there to retrieve their lost cha racter, .and the Commander of Mungdoo was in triple irons. The above informants, and other.respectable. Mug inhabitants who had escaped from Arracan and Chambala, subsequent to the engagement, state, that Nakoonda and about 300 of the enemy were killed on the.23d, and as many were wout!ded. The river face of the principal-stockade had been conrpletely beaten down, and the place deserted. All previous information regarding the Arracan coast-:seems to have been singularly inaccurate. The ➢layoon is stated to be what is laid down in the old charts as the Arracan River, nearly opposite to Asser Island and Reef. On the 28th ult. Commodore Hayes was at anchor with the transports and larger vessels thirty miles up the Oreeatung or Great Arracan River, where it is three miles broad, opposite to the mouth of the channel which connects the Mayoon.and Oreeatung Rivers. Brigadier-General Macbean and Brigadier-Pair, with his Ma jesty's 64th Regiment, and the Brigade of Madras Native Infantry, joined the Commodore at the above point on the 26th ult. MAYOON RIVER, Mancit S. ;The Artillery, his , Majesty's 44th Regiment, and the 2d Light Infantry, embarked on the 3d inst. in the gun vessels and mug boats, for the purpose.of proceeding by the inland navigation to the Oreeatung, on the left bank of which the above force will unite with Brigadier-General Macßean's divi sion. .The boats from the Mayoon River would, it was expect ed, reach their destination in two tides, and after disembarking the first division of. the troops, would return to Myo Mooa, whence, in three passages, the removal of the whole force would be effected. The head-quarters embarked on the-4th instant. The elephants had swam across. .The cattle were to cross on rafts ; _in the preparation of which the .native Arrasanese had afforded essential aid. From the left bank of the Oreeatung, opposite to the Pagoda of that name, the army would advance by land over the open country intersected by three rivers to the capital of the .prevince of Arracan, distant about four marches. _ _ Rumours obtained in camp that .the enemy expected large reinforcements from Ma, and that Atown Mungin pretends to have received a letter from the Court, assuring him that 20,000 men were in-progress to support him, via Talak. Several Ar -racanese Chieftains and men of influence among the native po pulation had come in : the disposition of the people of the country to bring in supplies. continued to manifest itself; and 111 r. Robertson, the Political Agent, had made arrangements for collecting provisions in some villages situated even beyond the.Oreeatung River. lire are happy to add that the weather continued pleasant and favourable down to .the 4th inst., die date of the latest accounts. Ex!ract of a _Letter, dated Cachar, March 4, 1825.—" My. ideas regarding the probable result oethis expedition,. Which I made you acquainted with in my letter of December, have as yet been fully realized, and I think as likely to prove in the end tolerably correct. You will remember that even at that early period, before the plan of operation, and the means of carrying it into effect, were at all developed, I despaired of success, judging the climate and nature of the country, sufficient of themselves to arrest our progress. But as our means became gra duallk unfolded, and the resources of the Commisseriat brought .to light and open to calculation, it immediately was evident that the hopes of the sanguine would be disappointed, and what was termed" croaking" would shortly be denominated veracity. A considerable detachment of Imgtilars, both -Norse and Foot, having been previously pushed on in advanCe, to feel the way and protect the labours of the pioneers, the General commanding, with the 1d Brigad,? and Artillery, advanced from Doodputlee on the 15th ultimo. On the 19th they reach ed the Beddry Nullah, .distant only ten miles from Doodput_ lee, and our latest information, up to the 27th of last month, mentions that they were still at the same place. The rain, which had been pouring in torrents almost continually, from the period of their breaking ground, had rendered the road im passible. The ground on which they were encamped was in undated, and the cattle were dying fast. The pioneers, hay ing been so long in the Jungles and forests, have suffered se verely from sickness, and their numbers are sadly reduced. By all accounts their labours have been strenuous and unceas.: ing, and nothing but credit can be ascribed to them. The dif ficulties they have had to struggle with are such as perhaps never heretofore presented themselves in India. Ilow tar they have advanced at this moment I am unable to say, as we have not heard lately; but I imagine they are through, or nearly through, the large forest beyond riumrungabond, about 26 or 30 Miles in extent. Kumrungabund is about 12A miles beyond Banskondy, in a n eas t er ly di rect i on , an d Banakund about 20 beyond Doodputlee by the Road, which winds along the right bank of the Soorma or Berack river, but not above half that distance in a direct line. I will refer you to a letter published in the Hnecara of the 19th ult. taken from the India Gazette, for a full deription of the country in advance, &c. &c. &c. It commences thus, " By a letter dated Cachar Ist February." Every particle of information contained in it has been written by a person on the spot, and one who possesses the opportunity and ability of acquiring and imparting sound information. The writer's ideas in every point I perfectly coincide with. His ac count I assure you contains much more information than all the letters hitherto written from Cachar put together. Who the author is I cannot exactly say. What he observes regard ing the camels is precisely the case. He mentions also private individuals, having lost their elephants in the jungles. Our brigade—the 4th—being still unprovided with•carriage, continues to occupy the same position us during the last four or five months. Some thousand bullocks have just arrived at Syl het ; they were intended for our brigade, but in consequence of the failure of the camels, and mortality amongst the cattle in general, I fear they will all be required for the part of the force already in advance of Doodputlee. We could now advance as far as that place, or even a little beyond it, in our boats.; but we should then be obliged to indent on the Commissariat for supplies; whereas at present we supply ourselves from the Bazaar at Budderpore, the only.one between Sylhet and China, or Arnerapoora. During the last month we have had some violent storms, and a heavy fall of rain every two or three days; the weather in consequence still continues very cool.; report says we are soon to make a movement in advance, but on what authority this rests I .cannot discover. I have just heard that General Slitildham has reached Banskondy ; the dragging the guns over the nullahs and swamps appears to be a work of extreme difficulty. How the force is to penetrate through the forest, which is now represented as being a complete quagmire, the sapient alone are .capable of compre bending. WEST INDIA DOCKS.

On Tuesday evening. last, the new building of the Literary and Philosophical Society of this town, was opened by an address upon the occasion by the Rev. William Turner, the senior Secretary, and founder of the establishment. Tnis day was fixed upon, being three years this week since the foundation stone of this elegant structure was laid by his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex. The Meeting was held in the Lecture Room, which was crowded at an early hour. James bosh, Esq. one of the Vice-Presidents, was in the Chair ; sir John Swinburne, Bart. the President, being unfortunately pre_ vented attending by severe indisposition. After the ordinary business of the election of new members, and Lord Howick and the Hon. A. Barrington, with some other gentlemen, being put in nomination, had been gone through, the several Bona.. tions of pictures, statues, and busts, to ornament the rooms, from the Rev. C. Thorp, Mr. Morton, Mrs. Watts, Mr. Tur ner, Mr. Watt, Mr. Alex. Reed, Mr. Farrington, the gentle men who have subscribed to the bust of our townsman, Mr. Thomas Bkwick, and various others, were announced. A va luable collection of birds was presented to the museum by Mr. John Hodgson, of Petersburgh ; also from Mr. Crawhall, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Dixon Dixon, Mr. Bewick, Mr. Trevelyan, Mr. Gibson, of Reedsmouth, Mr. Cresswell Baker, and other gen tlemen. An extensive and el.r.gant collection of insects, from New South Wales, by Dr. Mc.Culloch, were also presented to the museum. Letters were read from Mr. Hutton and Mr. Adamson, the former presenting to the Society a valuable col lection of British geological specimens, amounting to upwards of 1,200, and the latter a collection of 1572 dried English plants classed, principally from the neighbouring counties, and about 300 geological specimens, which, from their localities; will be an acceptable addition to those given by Mr. Hutton. Mr. Turner then proceeded to deliver his address, tracing the pro gress of the Society from its commencement as a mere literary meeting, to its subsequent addition, of the library, the founda tion of the lectures, and the establishment of the Antiquarian Society, whose library and collection were then under the same roof. The utility of which the Society had already been, and of which it was calculated to be to posterity, was then dwelt upon. It would far exceed our limits to give even an outline of this eloquent and able production, which was listened to with the greatest attention, and which was only interrupted by the applauses of the members ; but this is not so necessary, as Mr. Turner has acquiesced in the unanimous request of allow ing the address to he printed. The thanks of the Meeting were then voted to the Building Committee, more especially to Mr. Thomas Hodgson, one of them, for his unwearied attention and services from the commencement of the building ; also to Mr. Hutton and Mr. Adamson, for their valuable collections. SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT SHOREDITCH CHURCH. —On Saturday evening Joseph Dane, the steeple keeper at Shoreditch Church, met with a serious accident. The " Cum berland youths" being about to ring a peal on the bells of that Church, it was Dane's duty to turn the clappers ; but while doing so, his foot slipped off the frame, and in his fall caught hold of one of the hells, the weight of which is nearly 19 cwt., and which, falling from the stay on the unfortunate man's leg, split the bone from the ancle to the knee. In that situation he lay for nearly forty minutes, until found by his son, who, hay_ b ingrocured assistance, a rope was fastened to , the bell, in order to raise it from the leg but in doing u so, the rope n forturately broke, and the bell again fell with its whole weight on the poor man's leg, which by this second concussion, was literally crushed to pieces. He was taken to St. Bartholomew's _Hospital in a very dreadful condition. Deli' Home Con sumption. ivered. Exporta ton.

TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, The intelligence give ' n — iT -----—:-- our 1 7--------- 1:; 0( Is° night, of the submission of the Greek s to °5; land, appears to come from such a source au d $ such a time as almost to warrant its own authes: t ea ticity. Taking it as true, it is an event of g importance to the country, whose growi n g PresPi ; rity and daily encreasing strength is a subject °to no small concern to some of the leading cahh ; of Europe. Hence then it is, we hav e tie 11. „, t : culty in concluding that such 'a declaratioo v the part of the Greek Government must be he held with a jealous eye by most of the Se: ropean Nations, and thus it is that the d ec or sion of the English Cabinet must he Wire o f less in fl uenced by the open remonstranc°,l6 these Powers, or by their no less exPreSsl. l a a l a, silence. What will be the policy of Eng- " ir i. this case ? becomes then an interes tin g to bi, The neutrality hitherto preserved by the Jlto net of Saint James's, in our opinion, beg par tie to do with it, because it is quite c lear such an offer would not be made, if eut ire 011 ; cess had crowned the struggles of the Girebegheree and it is equally clear, that if the y ha° 0 the completely resubjugated by a, Po r t' , i or a° could have been no parties authoris ed to itO S the protection of this country. But there's a sweee tion,when the mediation of another Powe r bet et of the two belligerents would be regarded as e lls tia a friendship, and it is precisely in this s_lttit.ivee, that the Turks and Greeks now fi nd thewsel?
