FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Sunday,Oet.B.) (Non-Official Part. - 1 MADRID, SEPT. 26.—The Count de la Puebla has set out again for Paris, where he will join his family, whom he is to brink back to this City. He has been perfectly well received by the 11,4, and his succeeded ill all the claims in which - his interest is involved, which was the object of a journey to which so many uther motives have been attempted to be given. The Fair of Medea', which is for IS days, is-begun. It is observed with astonishment that the Royalist Volunteers have not been called in, as usual, to preserve order. Letters from Santiago de Cuba, of the 19th of July, say, that the Pardos, or natives of the province of Venezuela, have de clared against the Government of Colombia, and that many of them have joined the troops of Centena, Cisneros, Rodriguez, and Martinez, who maintain the cause of the mother country. It is said, that these forces already amount to about 4,000 men, and that after having gained decisive advantages over General Paez, they, have entered the _cities of Valencia and Carraccas, where a great number of those called patriots have been massa cred. Other letters received ae,Madrid :inert, theta great part or Mexico has declared in favour of Spain, and that a slight effect wbaid suffice to bring back the whole of that empire to its obedience to the King. (FrcM the Etoik,' dated Oct. 9.) • Passes, Oct. B.,—A liberal Journal, examining the Report of the Board of Tre.le, says-- " The first duty of merchants, that which includes them all,' is good faith. By what right will merchants claim the support .ot Government, and what support can Government afford to mel t :ha:as, if they a r e wanting to , themselves, and violate their toot:sacred obligations ? The repoit which we are examining disaleses facts very disgraceful to - those who have been guilty of them, and very false to those who are innocent. The merchants wha L ave .introduced into Mexico silk stockings of.bad quality, rejcice doUbtless at the success of their ignoble speculation ; but d:) they - 'know they have brought diacieditasprin our manufac turers, and forced the inhabitantsao purchase what they want :rum the English ? Do they knOW the great importance of this one article of manufacture in a country, where the maid ser vants du not go out on Sundays but in silk stockings and nun. 11:4ZS? " 'There is one source of profit dried up, and it will not b the last if we &mot take care. We have not yet any rivals for millinery and fashionable articles . ; but how long shall we con tinue to possess this advantage, if we send only the refuse of our sh . apt ? The bad quality of ourgoods has tilled many purchasers wits distrust and disgust. We Might mention a ship which ea red from our ports in the beginningof 1823, and by the con feseien of the Captain himself was laden with spoilt -butter, sour wines, and damaged articles of all kinds. This proved, what is esery where odious, a person az still more odious character in tuUlscountTiei, where the goods being contraband, - the buyers were obliged to depend on the honesty of the sellers, and re ceive the goods without examining them. It has been found, more than once, that incheets of wine, three-fourths of the bot tles were empty, that Escolles were more or less damaged; that manufactured goods were two or three degrees inferior to the patterns, eccording to which the bargains had been concluded. " It would not be necessary for such abuses of confidence to be frequently repeated to do the most fatal injury to the honour and , the interest of the French-Merchants." 'nee celebrated English pahner, Wilkie, now at Paris, is rather seriously ill. _ Faxxcst Fuxvs.--Paeis, Ocr.

(From the Madr'a'sGoverame7it - azzette, May 5.) 'We have received letters from . - Arracan as late as the 6th April. The country is described as jungly and sunder bundish. The appearance of the city itself is imposing, with its amphitheatre of formidable hills, studded with pagodas, .&c. A 'canal runs through -the. town, adding nothing to the fragrance or salubriousnerea of the scene. The country is very productive in grain, and the inhabitants are deli ib ed as well clothed, well fed, and - well housed. A friend whose letter is ,dated Rajalia, near. Arraean; 6th April, writes as follows " You know all about the carrying the Padova' Path, where :our Light Bobs charged with so much- eclat—of the battle at .Nahatee, and the enemy's retreat to their stockaded hills round .Arracan. On the 28th ult. the Light Infantry Battalion and Rifle Company, Slug Levy, formed the advanced guard, and ..early on the 29th we ware all in motion. The 2d Light In fantry, Six companies Europeans, Rifle Corps Mttga, and two ,lie-pounders, formed the al. value.. under .Brigadier-General :5113ean, the main body following as a reserve under the Briga dier-General comtnandille. About. 6 a. in. we moved on ; but the thick fog prevented our seeing the stockade hills in advance, that were distinctly visible the previous evening. About eight o'clock we arrived in front of the hills, and the torn toms beat .itg on each height told usahe enemy were on the alert. The min soon clearing _away, we beheld eight of those hills, the crowns of which were strohgle Stoekaded, or lather entrenched. —The position nature had made- stronger than I believe was • expected. The. enemy opened their guns immediately, hut with little effect. Three or four of the light companies were extended, and the six-pounders opened on one of the smallest strongly en trenched hills in front of the pass to the town. Here - we should hove halted. The position of theeneniy was stronger than had been expected. The Light Company. 54th, and remaining Coin !omits, Light Battalion,and 31tre - ,g rifles, advanced to the charge: The six-pounders being also drawn up nearer to the hills in sup port. Ail however was in vain ; the hill required great exertion to ascend', independent of any opposing force at its, summit— . and a few extended Light Infantry men, what could they do a.ithout support.? They attempted,-however, bravely. Major Kemm, with two Companies 2d Light Battalion, Light Corn - pany, 54th, and Mugg hid nearly gained the summit amidst s hot fire, when stones-and spears -were used with but too much effect. When. almost at the top Major Kemin was wounded in the head. Captain Clarke, A.D.C., received seve ral contusiona, when his tittn, I believe, was over ,their en trenchments to pirll himself up ; and one of the 54th, who had reached the top, and provided for one cr two of the Burmese who rose out of the trenches to heave stones down the hill, was also severely wounded. Captain French also arrived with the 16th M.N. E., entered the pass to the other advanced companies. The guns were now drawn into a small plain in front, within half musket shot of the enemy, and exposed to the fire from an extended line of entrenchments. Here -the Artillery and tile company of the 2d Light Infantry, who dragged in the guns, aaEr-red most severely. Wane' Lindsay had advanced to the outside of the pass, with some tivelVa-pounders; and continued to play on the hills for some time. General Morrison also ad vanced, and, on neari , :g the pass, a hall passed between his horse's legs. The General was thrown, but he instantly mount ed again, and continued -to give his directions. The Artillery , BOW retired, and our Conipanies in advance remained under shelter of the jungles and banks at the bottom of the hill to protect the six-pounders t h e y were obliged to relinquish 4112 the plain. All now 'remained quiet- till the evening, except on the part of the enemy,. who continued during the afternoon to fire their large guns at our camp." (The writer • • goes ion to state that - the guns were drawn off and , abreast work :raised outside of the pass, whence some shots, were occa sionally fired. On the 31st, in the evening, the Hankers of the ---2 d Brigade, with six companies of the 44th, thirty diaminanted Geedner's horse. and thirty sailors, all under the command of Brigadier-General Richards, were quietly .got underarms, and marched' round the base- of the. hill, the road to the top of which had been reconnoitred and found practicable. Accord ingly they, in a short time; Made-themselves masters. of this; and the Bost morning they ::advanced, the Burmese abandon ing,hill after hill to them. 'At length our troops entered Ar magh, and found it deserted, The town consists of low hills, with kriver running through, and reminds one of the low Dutch towns.) All the troops, European as well as native at Arracan, are said to be in the best possible health and spirits. A letter from Mahatee Arracan, April 8, says, " the force for Ramree is to quit tahattee at 4 p.. m. this day.

MADRAS, MAY 5. A salute of 17 guns was tired from the Fort Battery, on the afternoon of Friday last, on the occasion of the departure, on public service, of Lieut.-General Bowser, commanding the army in chief. (From the Madras ,Gazette.) 31•1)11,119, APUIL 21. " We have been favoured with the following extracts of a ,etter from Rangoon, under date the 3d April : " I saw some letters from Donabew yesterday. Sir Archi bald arrived there on the 25th, after a retrograde movement of about forty miles. He is encamped on a plain,, near the place, and was joined by General Cotton's party, who came round with their boats, under the fire of the stockade. It is considered far too strong to be attempted by escalade. We had, therefore, opened regular trenches, and were working night and day at batteries for both cannons and mortars, a mode of procedure Bundoolah has not hitherto been made acquainted with.. They have attacked the camp, and with a greater degree of spirit than was expected, but were repulsed with loss. Most peOple think; that if we take it in good style, the impression will be more decisive than any thing we have yet done. I heard last night that Gen. M'Creech had got as tar as Suaza, which is supposed to be nearly half way to Promo. The 30th Native Infantry followed hint yesterday; Major Sale is still. at Bas sein. We are quiet enough here, and the Burmese still settling thickly. They talk of a foree coming down - to amuse the good people again, but reports are so common and soyariqusn there is no believing them. " Aerounts which we have seen of the 4 th instant , state that Sir Archibald . Campbell had got within three days march of Pronie, when his army returned to Donabewn- They passed over, and arrived before the place on the 25t1n- which is stated to be closely invested, that it is considered next to imposeible Bundoolah can escape. They hate made two very desperate sorties, but were driven back with_ severe loss, whilst ours was trifling. One attack, it appears, was m4:-. 1 with their, war plc, phants, about lffin number e on our hody guard, and only three got back ; all the Mahouts of the Others haring been either killed or wounded, as wall as the men upon the elephants, there being, it seerae, four on each, with a Ginjall. " The greatest part of their war boats haVe .alsesbeen cap tured. "General Cotton in the steam-boan and a part of the flotilla pushed past the place, the guns playing .on them—ahe Dun doolah's escape that way is thus cut off. Brigadier 'lll!reach is stated, in some accounts, to have arrived aippcisife to Dona bew on the other side of the river; and it, appears Sir Archi bald's army had completely surrounded. the Place. " One hundred pieces of artillery were'ready to open on the night of the 3d instant, and a heavy cannonade was heard at Rangoon in that direction. Ships were exphched to leave It n- goon for this place in a-very few days after these.: , (From the Madras Gazette; April 16.) st At anchor, in 4i fathoms, in the river Irawuddy, 8 miles- below Donabew, March 5, 182.5. , " Although I have noparticular information to relate, I ima gine that the slightest piece of intelligence 'will prove-accept able. 'We had a'skirmish with fifteen war boats, and about 1,500 men on shore, on the let instant. We had weighed with an intention of taking up our present position, about 6 a. at., and, in consequence of the perpetual current, were obliged to land the men to track the boats. It was then foggy, about eight A.m. The fog cleared away, ,and, to our utter astonishment, we - discovered. : gold war boats, gold chattahs, and various other gay articles, and then marching and counter-marching. Notwithstanding their force, we attacked them on . shore and afloat with our advanced guards of noatS and troops ; their fire was very heavy and quick but not within range or their shot.. The tong ; guns in: the 3legna and Irrawiiddy told extremely well on them, and in ten minutes not a gold chattah or silk streamer was visible. The war boats are still within two miles - of. us. We made every effort with the fast pulling boats, to get hold of them, but all to no purpose. The reason of our being here so, long,' is in consequence of the steam vessel Powerful and four tough boats not being 'able to .get into the Irrawuddy till the s; rings. and lam happy to say they are all in tow. I expect we shall attack the ,enemy's position at Donabew to-morrow. It is a well built stockade, about 16 feet high, with a ditch of 10 feet round it ; about. 100 pieces of artillery with 11,000 men coin inanded.by Bundoolah. Ourforce,reckoning sailors, artillerythen, &c. amount to 1.000 Men, and we are .all in great. hopes they will fight us. Our shoes are.woru out on shore, and the conper on oar bottoMs running after them. I siKtliTet you know the result of the attack the first opportnnity. ,We re ceived a letter this day from the levied coltimitae %Wing that they are advancing towards Prome. IVe got fresh beef every' day, and the villagers are quite friendly to us, bringing eggs, poultry, and vegetables. In the attack on the laC March not one afloat was touched ; about four men on shore slightly wounded. We killed nine or ten of the enemy,' and took 'se veral prisoners." • •• • Extract of, a- letter from Arrhcan, dated' &I Apill':2."'Two, hrikatles are proceeding to lianiree. Another force is expected to be dispatched to Talah. ileacl.qitarte:a to remain here for some time. The baggage is still in the rear -; and as the country all round offers many obstacles to moving it is feared the pre sent campaign will see us no farther on our road - to Ummera poora. Now and then we shall, no ioubt; digress, in order to chastise the enemy, should he- appear to annoy us. The greatest praise is due to' the Quartermaster and Survey Depart 'ment : they have had a toilsome time of it." CALCUITA, APRIL 21. No official news was received by the Reliance, the vessel which left Rangoon on the 2d April, arid arrived at Kidgeree on Sunday last. The ship Lord Amherst was reported yester, day from Arrecan the 11th April.

His arrival - was announced by a salute of 10 guns f►o►n the garrison. The . Government brig Wellington, with his Excellency's suite, arrived on Saturday morning. MADRAIi, APRIL 16. . . , We learn from a correspondent that - Brigadier-Genral M'Creitgh's division left Rangoon on the 15th 'of March. The same correspondent, n oticing the attack of • Dimabew, reports that it is considered be extremely . strong-1200 yards each face, with 25 guns on each, and having a deep ditch—t..l)e wall of the fortification being of brickwork , sased with timber,sl:lfeet in thickness, with pits and spilies,'Coveted: with grass, so, as be hid from view, • all - round :the Place. • Bundoola is said to have hid- 15,000 fighting men our force was not more than 750 bayonets. It was understood that Sir Archibald Campbell had joined Brigadier-General Cotton; and it was reported that Bundoola had evacuated Donabew; meaning, it was thought, to proceed again to I:angoon. . Brigadier-General M'Creagli's division was about eight miles from Rangoon on the 20th of March, and was expected to move on the fo:lowing day. CALCUTTA, APRIL 7. Private letters of the 18th illarch mention that Sir Archibald Campbell wail-to be at Donabew on the.l.9th. Lieut.-Colonel Pollock was proceeding from Rangoon to join Brigadier-Gen. Cotton with two 19-pounders, two mortars, and several howit zers. BriaatlierilPCreagh was also preparing to move with the Royals and two Native Regiments. The Ilydery and Adrian had arrived, and also 11. M. 48th from Ceylon. • CEYLON, APRIL 9. His Excellency the GoVernor was still at .Aripo on the sth current. Experiments with a diving bell, wholly constructed at Columbo, under the superintendenre of Lieutenant Daver not of the Royal Staff Corps, had been tried several time's on the pearl banks, with entire success as to the utility ,of the machine.. The divers were down once for one hour and three quarters Without the slightest inconvenience, being plentifully supplied with air from above by barrels. The bank they had been on lies in from eight to nine fathom water. Toe wind having blownstrongly from the southward during three days, had delayed further operations on the (idler banks. MAnitas, APRIL 19. The ships Rombay Merchant, Captain Hill, and Helen, Captain Langley, arrived t',is morning from Rangoon, the former having sailed.so late as the sth instant, and the latter on the 3d. At the time these ships left Rangoon Donabew had not fallen; but there was no doubt of its being in ourpossession immediately. The enemy had made several sorties from it, and had suffered most severely. . A heavy firing was going on when the. we regret to find, died of cholera on the ships sailed.- The gallant Major 1 12 'e t a li tes u , it o il f n t o h . e `.6th, S ile iamese army remained close to Martaban. After the foregoing was sent to press, the-East Indian, Capt. Roy; from Rangoon, the 3d inst. arrived in the roads. CALCUTTA, 'APRIL 4. We have seen a letter from ilalda of the 24th ult., which treats thus upon a subject very interesting to some of our read. ers r—" The market will be overstocked with Indigo this year, which I fear will reduce the price so as tp make the favourable season a misfortune to the Planters. No one in this quarter re. members to hake seen such prospects of a large crop. We hav e almost finished our Dlarch sowings, and,the young plant looks remarkably well. By the Ist of June we shall be manufacturing our October plant,whi& is already a cubit high." BOMBAY, APRIL 10. There have been various and alarming reports during the last few days relative to . the state of affairs in Cutch. We have received private letters.from Bhooj, by ses ' of so late a date as • the sth instant. They state thata large body of Scindians and Mayannas, estimated at from 4,000 to 6,000 men, had taken possession of a stror , hill, about 14 miles from the capital, and were sending out ilundering Parties in all directions. Two flank companies from each of the regiments of .Bhooj, with a troop of cavalry and detachment of artillery, were to march on the night of the sth to attack their position, and we may hourly expect to hear the result. The 16th regiment (N. I.) and 150 men of the second European regiment are in orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark for Cutch. It was also rumoured that circumstances were likely to ren der it necessary for the Beighaurn forces to move ; but letters received to-day report every thing quiet in that quarter. The Blseels are, we understand, again - troublesome in Candeish ; and a Regiment has moved from Surat in that di rection. According to an official statement published in the Manrl - Gazette, it appears that the number of trading vessels which arrived at the lsiand in the years 1822 and 11323, was 582, with a tonna,ge of 125,742, and 12,209 men. Of these, 384 were British ; and of the foreign vessels 171 were . French. The value of the imposts was 6,240,045 dollars ; 'of this sum 4,522,806 was British. The valne of the exports for the two years was 4.835,01;9 dollars ; and of this suns 0,552,559 was British. The annual British average of imposts was 2,261,403 ; of exports 1776,280 dollars ! and the annual lo reign average of imposts was 850,619 ; of exports 641,555 I dollars. I.ENAWO, MARCH 5.

We understand that intelligence had been received in camp at Dassa, of Major Thornas, who was command of a aqua. dam of the Ist Light Cavalry, and a detachment of Infantry, having made himself master of Dungerpore with trifling loss : and that he had also had an affair among the hills with a party of maurauders. The eilief-'s wife and family hail been taken prisoners, but as Major Turner unfortunately did not come up with the freebooters till after sunset, darkness enabled most of them to escape. The following journal from art eye-witness of the operations of the gallant force under .Ilrigediei-General Morrison, which achieved the conquest of the whole pass of Arracan, the fort, and the city,. will; we doubt not, be highly interesting to our Readers, notwithstanding the official accounts have already tip.• peared Our Columns, for in this JOurnal are retordedinstances . of individual enterprize and gallantry, and other details, which could not be cnintareliended within the limits of a public - dis patch . .

A. gold umbrella was clearly discernible, but which was treated with little respect by our artillery men, who very soon diminished its gaudy appearance by sending a ball or shell through it. Wednesday, March.3o. - -This day was passed like yesterday in shelling the enemy's works; few or no accident', one half of each corps remaining constantly under arms. At night a working party of a hundred Europeans and the same number of Natives, was sent down to assist the Pioneers, its erecting a safe: banfery.under the superintendence of an engineer, with a covering patty of a hundred Eu.ropeat4and a hundred Natives. On one of the hills a gun which annoys the camp, as it appears, pointed in the direction of our centre and carries direct into the Midst of our tents—fortunately they are not expert in laying their guns, or it might have done much injury. One of these halls was picked tip in the lines of the 26th Regiment—it ap- Pears to be an eightpounder and the half of adouble headed shot.

To the sth Brigade and the fire a Ligt the ht Battaass - lion, for its steadiness under the most galli n g , into Arracan. To the Artillery for their wel l-directed fire, and P arduous labour in the batteries. " To theist Brigade and the 2d Local Horse for the noble manner in which they carried the heights last night, and de. fence after defence this morning, and to the Pioneers not only for their persevering toils to enable us to approach the enemy, "but when danger was to be encountered, for their forward man ner to meet it. . ." The Rifle COMpany of the Mug Levy, as new troops, claim particular notice, having on each occasion that they have been brought forward evinced a spirit of resolution, which gives the greatest hope that they will prove most valuable soldiers. " The Brigadier-General cannot flatter himself that his ex pression of thanks can be of any moment, but he cannot refrain from publicly saying how much he feels indebted to Brigadier General Mc.Bettn, f. 8., for the benefit derived from his judg ment and from his zealous co-operations. He has also grateful acknowledgments to make to the Brigadiers comthandin„, ,, the brigades, to the Officers commanding the artillery and batta lions, and to every Officer, non-commissioned,Officer„ and sol diers of the diVision. From Staff Officers, in times when par tidular exertion is required, it is generally obtained ; and the Brigadier-General has found that all the departments have been anxious that their allotted duties should he performed, and he may add, that the- manner in which they have been executed, reflects upon them, individually, the highest credit. " The Brigadier-General, in this" Division order, has ab stained from mentioning individuals by name, because unne cessary • but he should be wanting in the dis Charge of his duty,. did he not, in ; the name of the Division, and with the most grateful feelings on his own part, express to Doctor Grant and the Illedical Officers, his admiration and thanks for their immediate and continued attention to the wounded. " The following Brigade order was issued to the Ist Bri- gade : " The Brigadier most sincerely congratulates the troops com. posing the brigade, which he .has the honour to command, on the result of their spirited exertions, which have ended in the conquest of the City of Arracen, and which be conceives mainly attributable to the gallantry, discipline, anti steadiness dis played by them on every occasion in which they have had tire good fortune to be engaged ; but more especially, for those most essential qualities of the soldier, displayed by them in storming the enemy's stockade (the key of th.eik position) last night, and by the more glorious results of theif united efforts this day. -" The enemy must have escaped through the Jungles, sad r have either carried away with them or secreted their valuables, as little or nothing of value has' been fottnd in Arracan. Seve ral Burmah ponies and two elephants, with some bullocks, have fallen into our possession, together with a quantity of other property of but little value. The fine gold chattah was brought away by some of the artillery, but is by no means so valuable an article as is generally supposed. being, merely a large chattah, like those we daily see. used in Calcutta, gilt. A quantity of grain has been found and delivered over to the Com missariat. ‘l'e are all now in hopes diatom . servantsand baggage, with the followers and retainers of the camp, will be allowed to cross the 3layoorn and join us, an event which we look forward. to, with the greatest pleasure. In the fort have been found se veral things supposed to have been taken at Rattled last year, when Captain Norton's party was cut up, .Among . other things I found a pouch and bayonet, and observed, conuguoui to one of the batteries, two Sepoy path, which were evidently the pro perty of Government, one being marked Sd, (Surveyed) lst February, 1823, No. 1. A detachment of the 42d Regiment, some of the Light Infantry Battalion, three ressalas of horse, and some field pieces on elephants, have' gone out after the remnant of Atton Munghee's army, under command of Lieu tenant-Colonel Baker."
