deed bayonets were disembarked one mile below the pagoda; the ,:en were formed into two columa of equal strength, under the commend of Lieutenant-Colonel O'Donaghue, 47th, and Major Bastlen, 89th regiment; two six-pounders were landed under Captain Kerman, of the Madr,is artillery, and Lieu -tenant Paton, of the Bengal artillery, had charge of a small rocket battery. Both rolumns were led with unexampled steadiness ; while at proper range a steady fire was opened from the guns and rocket battery. All were exposed to a heavy fire, which was kept up by the enemy to the last, with a perseverance and spirit that has been seldom evinced by the Burrnahs. The gorges of this strong work were narrow and completely occupied by the gallant troops. who were forcing an entrance which, when made good, left_ the enemy who are reported to have been three thousand men, no alternative, but a passage over their own formidable defences. They were overtaken in the last abhatis, where they stood to fire until closed upon by the troops inside, and checked by others who had run round outside in search of air entrance to the body of the work. The den I, the wounded, and the panic struck fell in one common heap, in and close n'eout the abbatis ; and wheri I state, that of the two latter 280 , yera brought in prisoners, I cannot estimate the loss of the en , :•••y in this affair at less than 450 men ; ours was about 20 kille , l and wounded. • The second defence is about Live hundred yards from the pagoda stockade, and the same distance t'rum the main work, from which it is distinct, though commanded by it. For the immediate reduction of teas place two more six-pounders, four five and a half-inch mortar, and a fresh supply of rockets were brought up and placed is a position at a house in advance of the captured work. The enemy kept close, inducing the supposition that he intended to reserve his strength foe the large stockade. When it was presumed that a sufficient impression had been made from the batteries, two hundred men under the command of Captain Rose of his Majesty's 89th regiment, ad vanced in two parties to the storm, a destructive fire was im mediately commenced from all parts of the face of the work, which caused the columns to diverge to the right of the point of attack, and got into a ditch, described to be filled with spikes, and scarped so as to expose it to the fire of the work. All who presented themselves were livfocked down ; and here, I regret to say, that Captain Rose, who had received one wound, fell by a second shot, while persevering in the at tack, and spewing a gallant example to his troops. Captain 'Cannon, also of the 89th, a brave and deserving officer, was killed,—others were wounded, and the loss in men extremely heavy. The party was at length directed to retire. The two eight-inch mortars, and four light twelve-pounders from the teun-boats, were landed to increase the battery. The enemy strengthened the work, and towards evening brought more heavy guns into play. It became necessary after our day's loss, of which a return is inclosed, to consider what would be the ultimate result of the operations ; and although I feel con fident that I could have carried the second work, it would have -been with a further loss, which would prevent an attempt upon the main stockade, and I should have been either left in a po sition exposed to one of superior strength, or hare to relinquish the post after carrying it at a great sacrifice. There was ano ther alternative; and, with much regret, the conviction that I should thus best forward the service, induced me to adopt the measure of re-embarking and occupying a position until I could receive a reinforcement. The guns and stores of every descrip tion were re-shipped, and after spiking the enemy's cannon, and destroying the numerous jingals and other arms which had been taken, the troops marched out steady at two o'clock, a.m. on the Bth inst., and embarked with perfect regularity without any description of loss. The wounded among; the prisoners were dressed by our surgeons, and as they would prove only an incumbranee the whole were permitted in the evening to go where they t .. leased. None of the prisoners expressed a wish to return to Donabew, but they generally retired to villages to the southward. The gallantry and perseverance displayed by the troops, the cheethilness with which they underwent the labour of bringing lip heavy hortars and artillery, deserve that I should mention them to you in the most favourable terms. To Lieutenant- Colonel Mallet, and the officers of every arm, to those of the General and Personal Staff, I am much indebted for their un abated exertions throughout this arduous day. To Lieut.- .Colonel O'Donague and Major Basden I beg leave to draw your attention in the strongest way, for the able manner and gallant style theyeconductetrtheir respective columns, to the points of attack at the pagoda stockade. The flotilla has dropped to Youngyoun, and occupies the strong position from which we moved on the I;th inst. I have directed the wounded to be con veyed to Rangoon, and have taken advantage of the opportu nity to direct a further supply of provisions to be sent when the boats returned.—l am, &e. - WILLOUGHBY COTTON, Brig.-Gen.

T. Y. R. KENNAN, Capt.ll. 13. commanding the Artillery. March 8, 1325. Copy of a Report from Major Sale to Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Campbell, R. C. 8., dated Bassein, 6th March, 1825. • SlR—After a tedious passage we. arrrived of Pagoda Point, Great Negrais, on the evening of the 24th February. The next day I dispatched boats with Lieut. Fraser, R.N., and Lieut. Kershaw, Assistant-Surveyor, with a flag of truce, to recon noitre, with orders to endeavour to secure its reception, and to avoid hostile measures. The boat bearing the flag went a-head • towards a large boat of the enemy's, apparently also recon noitring ; hut upon our nearer approach, the boat immediately pulled away, and when within range of their guns, they open ed.their lire upon the boats, which they continued, without ef fect, while any were in range, the boats passed on, and after reconnoitring another stockade, about a mile further, returned. The next morning, the - 26th, the fleet weighed and stood in for the river, and having made arrangements for landing 150 of the 13th• light infantry, 54) of the 38th, and 100 of the 12th native infantry, his l'ilajesty's - ship Larne, and the Hon. Com pany's Cruiser Mercury, took . up - stithgoOd positions, as by a .few rounds completely to ciii4iheinetny liKhTfitele - wiltks - , and the troops immediately landed without opposition. Here we found six 6-pounders, 2 large wooden guns, and 21 jingals, with a quabtity of loose powder. I now lett a party of the 12th native infantry to destroy the works, and the transport Car ron to bring away the guns. I then proceeded - with the rest ,to the next stockade, in the same order, and the effects of the guns from the Larne and Mercury were as decided as be fore, not any of the enemy waited the landing of the troops; ,here we found two nine-pounders and thirteen jingals; opposite .to this point, and on Little Negrais, there were other works which we destroyed. We anchored here for the night, and the next morning, the 27th, the fleet proceeded with a fine wind up the river, having, at. an early hour, dispatched a reconnoitring party to the extreme point of Little Negrais, where there were some deserted stockades and excellent wells. On the 211th February I sent a boat to reconnoitre, anti enda your to post a proclamation so at to meet with notice. This had the effect of causing a visit from two Carrians who (not understanding the Birman writing) bad brought it back, and from this time we had constant communication with the Car. .rians, who proved perfectly amicable. On the Ist of March we came to a•large village, called Nat puttah, - which was quite deserted. - We were now told by all, .that the head . persOn of Bassein liad - superintended the partial defence at Negrais; whence he retired - upon our attack, and xeturned to Bassein. The panic then became general, and I am informed by all, that the people . divided in opinion, some wishing to defend, and others to resign, anti trust to us. The result was, that the town was destroyed by fire, and totally deserted. On the evening of the 3d inst. we anchored off the smoking ruins, and I immediately landed the troops, and took post in the area of the principal pagoda. I found, upon going ,over the ground, that although the town had been so generally burnt, yet there are still some good private houses remaining.-... 1 have sent out proclaMations in various directions, and have every reason to expect many of the people will return. The principal Arab Adghee, Mahomed, an old man, is among those :who have already come in. From all that I can learn I cannot expect any extensive supply of tattle for carriage, but I trust soon to have it in my power to send a more detailed and satis factory account. The general system in this part of the country appears to he for the stronger part to plunder and molest the weaker, and to drive them from their homes. I understand that the head person of Bassein hag retreated to Lamina, which is representej to be six days .journey by the country boats, and that none larger cab get to it; there are about two hundred followers and one hundred muskets said to be with him ; hut they have not any stockade, and the town is said to he already partially burnt. I have made every exertion to get a murier to proceed by land, but have not succeeded in effecting this, nor can the boats proceed by the creeks to Rangoon at this season, or I should have sent them by that route ; failing in this, I have dispatched two armed row boats to Rangoonby the outer pas sage, Lieutenant Kershaw, taking this dispatch. I have the honour to inclose a return of the ordnance taken at I3assein, and wait further orders. I have. &c. R. SALE, Major 13th Light Inf. commanding.

Ste—lt affords me the greatest pleasure to forward, for the information of the Right Hon. the Governor-General in Coun cil, another instance of the zeal and judgment with which Capt Alexander, commanding the flotilla, has uniformly co-operated with me on this service, and another proof, if any such were wanting, of the gallantry, spirit and enterprize displayed on all occasions by that part of his 3lkjesty's Navy serving ou this ex pedition. It has now been proved to me beyond a doubt that strong reinforcements of troops and thirty pieces of cannon were within a short march of Promo, when I took possession of it.— These troops have now very generally dispersed, and the guns taken by the men of war-boats are no doubt part of those in tended for the defence of this place. Prince Sarrawuddy is retiring direct upon the capital, with the remnant of his people. Desolation marks his track, and the nearest cottage does not escape the incendiary's torch. Prompt and decisive measures alone saved Prome from the general con flagration, and its inhabitants from a wretched fate. They, with their Thurkie (Civil Governor) at their head, have very gene rally returned to their houses, and have received the kindest re ception ; nor shall the proud characteristic of our country be for gotten in extending shelter and protection to the suffering fa milies that have been wantonly exposed to the inclemency of an approaching monsoon, by the barbarous policy of their own countrymen.

B. dated Honourable Company's Steam-Boat, Diana, off Prome, 2d of May, 1825. tt—l have great satisfaction in informing you that the light division of men of war-boats under the command of Lieutenant Wilkinson, of his Majesty's ship ',iffy (and whom I sent to re connoitre up the river on the 27th ultimo), returned last night, having succeeded, after a long chase, in capturing and destroy ing five enemy's large war-boats, pulling from fifty to sixty Oars, with their arms and ammunition, and bringing down three others with their guns, &c. ; as also a boat laden with thirteen guns of diferent calibres, jingalls, five hundred and twenty spears, and destroying the sante numbsr. This service has been performed under the greatest fatigue. front the great strength of the current which kept the boats under a heavy tire from five hundred musqueteers and fifty horse, under the command of the Prince of sSarrawuddy, who was retreating to the left bank near Foundain, destroying the villages, grain, and boats of every description. The capture of the war-boats liberated three thousand boats and canoes with families they were driving before them ; and all the peo ple claimed protection and returned with Lieut Wilkinson, many of whom are lying on the opposite side of the river wait ing for passes to their villages below. I ant happy to state this service has been performed without a casualty. Four of the enemy were found killed as the boats returned. The boats got up to Meeravday, a distance of be tween fifty and sixty miles ; at some of the rapids they did not ptill a boats length in an hour,—l have, &c, THOMAS ALEXANDER.

FRENCH PAPERS. (Froin the Eta;le, dated Oct. 27.) GENOA, OCT. 18.—A Sardinian frigate has just arrived in the Gulf of Genoa, having on board the Chevalier Sevori, Commander of the flotilla %vhich was sent to the L nt to termi nate the differences which had art between his Sardinian'Majelity and thipOley • Tifton: . The flotilla, consisting of two Figates, a brig', a' corvette, and three transports, has effected the object of the expedition with unexampled cele rity. M. Sevori having been unable to obtain the execution of the ancient treaty with the Bar baresques, and the Dey_ persisting in his demand of -4,000 piastres, to re-estalslish the pacific rela tions, the Sardinian Commander signified his in tention of attacking the town and the forts, if the Consol of his nation had not arrived within the term of four hours. The time being expired, that officer kept his word ; he attacked two Tri politan schooners lying at anchor, and ordered a landing to spike the cannon of one of the princi pal batteries of the place. One of the schooners was burnt, the other ran aground. The Dey then requested the Captain of a Dutch brig to intervene; he received front M. Sevori no answer, but the positive assurance that he was going to burn the town. Recourse was then had to the English Consul, who went with a flag of truce on board the frigate, and put an end to hostilities by or dering the Dey to subscribe to the admission of the Sardinian Consul, without any conditions be yond those of the ancient treaty. M. Sevori, who has shown on this occasion so much vigour and in trepidity, is a Genoese, and formerly served in the French navy. The day before this event the Dutch had renewed their treaty with the Dey, by paying him a tribute of 5,000 piastres. The day following arrived the Neapolitan ship of the line Vesuvius ; the Dey, still impressed with the recollection of the Sardinian cannonade, hastened to announce the claim he had made ou his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies, of whom 100,000 piastres had just been demanded, and he has contented himself with the annual payment of 12,000, as heretofore. PARIS, OcT. 26.—Tbe Augsberg Gazelle says, According to the most recent accounts from the Morea, Ibrahim Pacha, after having drawn re inforcements from Mandan, has again advanced to Tripolizza. It is said he only waits for a park of artillery from Patras to recommence his operations affainst Napoli di Romania, without even giving ' the fifth expedition time to joie him. It is likewise affirmed that the Greeks have made proposals of accommodation or submission.— Greek letters which, however, deserve little cre dit, assert that the Turco-Egyptian Expedition has been defeated near Candle." MADRID, OCT. 16..—The state of people's mind and of public affairs is more calm and more satisfac tory. Order is returning in the interior, with stabi lity in the administration. The brigands who infest ed the provinces are pursued with more ardour ; at Madrid society assumes a more animated ap pearance ; a scarcity every where prevails ; how ever the Ministry is again the object of the at tacks of the discontented ; a false report is de signedly . rend of a misunderstanding between the Governmiitt.and the Nuncio ; every means is employed to persuade the King that the Consul tative Junta is an approach to the representative system.

A severe seratiny into, and a severe example will, we trust, be made of those whose conduct has either caused or ag gravated this unprecedented catastrophe. The Ayr sailed over the spot where the sufferers were struggling in the agonies of death, and the principal steward of the Comet probably met with his death by a stroke from the paddle of the Ayr, as . he was much cut on the neck. The Master of the Ayr is liberated on bail. It will be seen that our first account of the extent of the catastrophe has not been ex aggerated. The body of Captain Sutherland was found yesterday, but that of his amiable and unfortunate wife still remains to be discovered. One of the crew states, that he saw th em jump together into the sea from the starboard quarter, but as Mr. Anderson seems certain that Mrs. Sutherland round him for some time, they must certainly afterwards have been separated for ever in this, to meet in a few moments in another and in a better world. On the person of Captain Sutherland was found a purse containing Us. in silver, and five sovereigns an a half in gold, and a gold and a silver watch. A poor woman, near her aecouchment, a native of Bonaw, the wife of a mar named llacintyre, residing at liCaglesbarn, was lost with 6 children. It is determined to raise the Comet; and we learn that the superintendent, Alr. Clark, gives it as his opinion that it can be effected without difficulty. She lies in clean ground, and by actual soundings taken yesterday morn ing, her bow is, at half tide, in 179 fathoms water,and 165 yards from the shore, her length extending directly from it. So close was she that soon after the accident happened, a gentleman on shore distinctly lieard the cries of the sufferers for relief with the water gurgling in their throats, while struggling with • death ! It is not . probable any more bodies will be found, 'till the iesseVitritseit - Several lines have been broken in atterfitingntertitwl close to her side. The shock, when the Ayr came in ntact with the Comet, must have been ex. • ceedingly strong, as one of the bow timbers, full of tree nail holes, has .floated on shore. Our River Trustees are actively engaged in devising regulations, such as may prevent the recurrence of such terrible misfortunes ; and we hope the public will follow up the matter, till, by a Legislative Act, the steam boats, according to their tonnage, are, like mail coaches, limited to a certain number of passengers. We cannot omit noticing the following remarkable fact amongst the particulars relating to this melancholy affair. A letter inclosing a one pound note to a person in Glasgow was entrusted to the care of Mrs. N'Vright. It was found on her body after it was washed ashore, and forwarded through the post-office to its address in this city, and has been received perfectly dry and uninjured, a proof how near the shore the suflerers must have perished, as from this circumstance Mrs. Wright's body could hare been but a very short time in the water. The wind blew strong, and, we believe, directly on the shore. To mid-day yesterday no more bodies had been found. Captain Sutherland is, we learn, to be buried here this day with military honours. and the bodi es f ou nd, in a ll fifty- Besides the numbers saved, five, it is accertained that fifteen persons more were on board ; and there is the strongest reason to believe that the number is still greater.—(Glue;ose Courier.) Gounocx, TUESDAY, ONE o'Cnoma.—There have been six boats dragging all the day, and at a quarter to 11 o'clock, Capt. Sutherland's body, and that of a soldier belonging to the 45th regiment, were found. The body of the young man, whose linen was marked C. B. S. has been claimed ; his name is Chas. Bayley, of Sutherland. No attempts have yet been made to raise the Comet, for which the relatives of the missing sufferers are naturally very anxious, as they anticipate there may be some of them on board. To-day the Sheriff-depute, and Mr. Wil liamson, Procurator Fiscal, have been engaged in examining the master and pilot of the Comet. The master of the Ayr was examined last night, and liberated nn bail.—( Greenock Adverager.) French Papers of Wednesday have been receiv ed, and give as an opportunity of annexing an account of the termination of the differences which had arisen between his SARDINIAN Ma jesty and the Dey of Tairom. The cause of dispute was the refusal on the part of the Re gency to receive the Sardinian Consul until cer tain sums had been paid, and it was not until the Dey bad been made to feel the weight of the Sar dinian arms,that he consented to withdraw his refu sal and admit the Consul. The ships employed on this occasion were the Commerce of Genoa, 60 guns, the Christina, 44, Triton, 28, Neried, 14, and three transport brigs. This account has also been communicated by a letter from the Agent to Lloyds' at Genoa, dated 19th October. King Louis, the first of Bavaria, has taken the oaths prescribed by the Constitution. It is to be hoped that notwithstanding the religious enthusi asm of this Monarch, and which has induced him to credit the pretended miracles of Prince HonENLone, he will resist any encroachments upon the rights of his people by the Holy See. The Concordat concluded with the Pope by the Cardinal HAI:I7EI,IN, on the part of the King of Bavattia, met with his disapprobation whilst only Prince Royal. Accounts from Spain say that things are going on better than heretofore, and that order began to be re.ostablished as the Administration became more vigorous and consistent. Attempts have been made to set the KING against the Consula tive Junta as being similar to the Representative system.—The news from Greece via Augs burgh, states that InttAnim had advanced upon Tripolizza, having been reinforced at Modon. A park of artillery was expected by him from Patras. The Nuremburg Correspondent and the Al lge. meine Zeitung were received this morning. The former contains no news whatever, and the latter gives the account which we have extracted and printed below. This relates to the question the Austrian Cabinet is ,about to discuss, an d w hi c h some years back formed a point of no mean importance to the interests of the British Empire, viz., whether free bottoms make free goods. In support or the affirmative of this pro position the Northern coalition was formed for the destruction of England and the English trade, With CATHERINE 11. at its head. The negative was maintained by us both by legal decisions and the force of arms. Since, however, the English have become neutrals, they have not give❑ that warns support to their own doctrines as for merly. The war in Greece and the capture of Turkish goods in Austrian vessels, has given occasion to this discussion, and . which is preceded by orders prohibiting Austrian vessels to carry munitions of war for either belligerent. The recognition of Greece as a belligerent in this con. test both by England and Austria, cannot but be productive of some advantages to bey. FIIANIFOUT, OCT. 17.
