111 E LONDON JOURNALS. • DAILY Extrach . fronz the Murntng Papers, Sept. 14, 1325 ;•• • • [Tti E TIMES.] Files of Madras. and Calcutta Papers were re ceived, in the course. of yesterday, dated in the months of February and Mareh last, but bringing no intelligence of military operations from any of our Commanders.en,gaged against the Burmese, except from Sir-Archibald Campbell, who was on march towards Ummerapoora.. The officer broke up about the middle of February with 2,000 men, and on the 2.3 a had made good about 50 miles, (less than a tenth part of his route), with out molestation from the enemy. He had directed an auxiliary column of 1,000 men, under Briga dier-General Cotton, to move up the river in sup port of his own march, end had, at the date of his dispatches, learned from prisoners, that Pa hang, a post of some strength, had yielded to General Cotton, with little or no resistance. A favourable circumstance noticed by Sir Ar, chibald Campbell is, that the people of the country through which he passed (the " Carian inhabitants") beheld with joy the expulsion of their Burmese oppressors, and were bringing in provisions for the use of the army, besides offering, their services in the formation of roads. We observe, however, that Sir Archibald Campbell "' does not expect to reach Prome " without This is a place of import ance on the Irrawaddy,—one third of the way, or somewhat more, perhaps, from Rangoon to the capital of Ava. The British General remarks as a fact which surprises him, that the enemy's army of 50,000 men has remained at Danoobyoo, a position on the river much nearer to Rangoon than he will be as he advances upon Prome, and therefore in a situation which, " according to all 4 " the rules of modern war," must be considered as turned by him, long before he reaches that city.. The meaning of this is, that the Burmese army, amounting to the above formidable number of 50,000 men, is placed between him and Ran goon, from which he started, and is therefore cut off from Prome and Ummerapoora. That is one view of the subject ; another, with submission, is that Sir Archibald himself has, by the same means, been turned and cut off from his own heaktiarters of Rangoon:. God send our gallant countrymen well through it ; but to common,un derstandings- it does seem a tremendous enter prize to attempt the invasion of such an immense and unknown country, defended by armies, so numerous at least, if not disciplined, with a de tachment of two thousand men.• In case of a check, too, whet resource or reliance can the troops - from Rangoon' contemplate, beyond the small body of 1,000 more, with which Brigadier Cotton can no doubt at any time join him ? But speaking of the plan of campaign generally,• it demands an extraordinary dispersion of the Bri tish forces. The whole system of operations is Concentric; which, if the enemy had the 'least portion of activity, skill, or spirit, would expo'se the several divisions of our army to be attacked separately, and be cut off in detail,. without the least possibility of any one corps deriving the least protection from another. Guesses have been hazarded hi various quarters, that the Burmese would negociate as the British troops advanced ; and a letter, as our readers may recollect, was not lung since published, announc ing that Ummera poora itself had capitulated.-- All this is at an end. It will be seen that an express arrived yesterday afternoon from Liver, pool, bringing news from Calcutta of so late a date as the 17th of April, and that on the autho rity of letters 'addressed to .M r. Adam, who was a passenger on hoard the ship Albion, from that Capital, although Arracan had been taken by.the troops under General Morrison, " the war was " raging with more violence than ever, and there " appeared no prospect' of its speedy termina tion." The attack upon the. Burman empire from the westward was intrusted to General - Morrison, as was that from the south to Sir Archibald Campbell. Arracan is a maritime province. The town stated to have fallen is Am an arm of the sea. It may secure that part-of .the; coast, but gives no hold of the country through ,which an invader must advance upon the capital, -which is distant from Arracan about half as far as is Rangoon. Some rapid rivers are interposed hOWever, and the route has not been explored, so as to present any certain estimate to a British officer of the difficulties which.he must encounter. Mr. Adam's death is stated in the Liverpool ex press to have occurred on board the Albion two Months after his leaving Calcutta. What effect the absence of this gentleman may have on the Measures of the Bengal Government, remains as a matter of experiment. His contest with Mr. Buckingham and the free press of India has at tached a species of celebrity or notoriety to his name, on which, at the present moment, it might seem invidious to expatiate. ..Lord Corni , ermere will shortly have reached 'lndia, in quality of Commander-in-Chief; but whatever, experience; the. Noble Lord .may have had in the ordinary field-service of Europe, or in the . routine' and etiquette of.tns profession, we know not that any thing like talent has yet been ascribed to him, or that he has discovered those characteristics which lead in arduous crises to great and signal results. . . [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] '"Yesterday Madras Government Gazelles to,the • nth of March, and Calcutta .Papers,to the-16th of'March, were received, extracts from w,hich will be found in another column., They contain dispatches from Sir Archibald Campbell“elative in - the operations against the. Burrnese,to.,the '23d, Of February ; he had then advanced, without any, Material opposition from the enemy, to Laing, a 'distance of upwards of 50 miles from Rangoon. The private letters frorri the army, received at. *Calcutta, vary considerably in their accounts, ac-, .' - coiding to the disposition or information of the 'Writers; The more sanguine speak of the troops *A's in excellent Ewald - rand spirits, and advancing so rapidly, that they .might, expect :to.. reach Prome by the 15th of March ; and though little expectation was entertained of any decided measures from the enemy tb o re, a negocia. rtion for peace was confidently expected ; but on the other hand, several of the private let ters speak of the enemy's force assembled at Prome as amounting to 50,000 men and 800 war boats, with whom some severe fighting might be ex pected. Indeed, Sir Archibald Campbell him self is not so sanguine as to expect to reach even ' - Prome without opposition : for he says, " there (at Donabew) the whole Burmese force still re mains, with what intention I cannot understand ; for by all the rules of modern warfare, the posi tion at Donabew is turned the instant I reach the Irawuddy, either at Saraoo or Naugur : the intervention of a broad and rapid stream, with the want of pontoons, will necessarily pre vent me from deriving the full advantage my situation would otherwise give me, but I shall at least prevent the Burmese army from crossing to the :left bank of the river in sufficient time to cover Prome. I do 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." From all that has yet transpired, we should not be justified in speaking lightly of the bravery of the Burmese, or hazarding a prediction as to the ultimate result of the:war ; for although in every affair the superiority of European tactics has been evident, yet the courage and enterprize dis played by the enemy are such as to render them formidable, however skilful their opponents might be ; more particularly when the great disparity of nun.erical force is considered. Indeed these very Calcutta Papers contain an account of an attack on the Arracan River, by Commodore Hayes (of the Company's Service, we presume), on a stockade of the enemy, garrisoned by about 1000 men._ The Research, Vestal, and several gun-boats, with a company of the 54th regiment on board, was the force employed on the occa sion ; but after a spirited attack of two hours' duration, the tide failing,. the 'enterprize was obliged to be given up, and the vessels returned, with the loss of Major Schalch killed, and up wards of 40 men killed and wounded. [IRITI'SII Pit Ess.] The French Papers which arrived last night contain some further details respecting the defeat of the Turks before Missolonghi., Their loss ap pears to have been very severe. Between 7 and 8000 corpses were left in the ditches after the last assault. The fleet of the Captain Pacha had retired to the Archipelago. The Journal de Pa ris questions the correctness of the report that the Greek Government had offered to plr.ce itself under the protection of England. It admits that there had been frequent communications between the Anglo-lonian Government and the Greek au thorities at Napoli; but it supposes that these relat ed to an application for the supply of arms and am munition. The,Editor of the Journal des Debats, however, roundly asserts that he had seen docu ments,by which itappeared that theGreekGovern ment has in effect put the whole of Greece, both the Continent and .the islands, under the protection of Great Britain. The negotiation, lie states. - was conducted by Maurocorda to and Commodore Hamilton. The journalist insinuates that a de spatch from General Roche to the Greek Com . mittee at Paris, announcing this important event, 1/;:s been intercepted. There is no intelligence from Spain. The Blade, it will be seen, denies that Don Carlos is about to leave the Peninsula.. His departure, however, would probably be the best mode of quieting the fanatical party. He is' the centre of their intrigues. Without him they would be utterly poWerless, unless they fixed their attention on some other, member of the Royal Family. It is remarked by a correspon dent of the Memorial Bordelais, that though the royal der reel, the dispatches of the Generals, and the articles in the Madrid papers, all spoke of I3essieres as a traitor, no act was charged against him but that of departing from Getafe at the head of a squadron of cavalry. This was certainly to act of military insubordination, but it never be fore was considered treasonable. There is some mystery connected with this adventure, which it is not judged fitting at present to unfold. [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the 12th inst. and the Eloile Hof Monday reached us last night by Express.— Their whole attention continues to be absorbed by the late intelligence from Greece, to which they seem to attach implicit credit. The Journal des Debatt, which, from its connection with the founders of the Greek Committee in Paris, Viscount Chateaubriand and the Duke of Fitz- James, is likely to be well-informed on the suh ject, says—" Documents have just been commn ideated to us, which apprise us that the Greek Pinvisional Government has placed the whole of Greece, both •the continent and the islands, under the protection of Great Britain. The ne gociations were carried on by Mavrocordato and Commodore Hamilton. A packet from General Roche, announcing this important news to the Greek Committee in Paris, has not reached its destination." This last statement is •of course meant to intimate that the French Mi nisters being aware of the contents of that packet, and desirous that they should mot be publicly known, contrived to seize or to suppress it. The same Paper attacks those Ministers with vehe nrence for having suffered Greece to escape out of their hands through their indifference • to her sufferings. " France,". it says, " already re duced and despoiled by Diplomatic Conventions, whilst Russia, Austria, Prussia, even Sardinia, and . England have aggrandized themselves — France will then see united to the British Em pire a country vi here she was called upon to act a part so useful to her interests, so noble to her honour, so distinguished, so dear to hu manity ! To prevent this, only a little Skill, little enlightened policy, and a little courage were required from her Ministers ! * * * The union of the Mores with England is only wanting to throW us down at the bottom of the, political scale of nations !" The Quoti. dienne contains a long and abusive 'article against us, in which it asserts that we have been the most bitter enemies of the Greeks, whilst France displayed mothiug but kindness towards them, and ought therefore to have been prefer red as a Protector., it has even the audacity to state that the charges against French cruisers in the Levant, of having favoured the expedi tion of Ibraham Pacha, and conveyed his mili tary chest to Modon, originated in the English Papers, whilst they were made and proved by the agent of the French Committee, General Roche, from whose Reports, supported by official documents, they were transferred to our Journals. The Quolidienne has long displayed a spirit of hostility towards this country which would have won crosses of honour in the days of Napoleon, but it has seldom accumulated more falsehood and calumnies than in the present ar ticle. France, who sent officers to organize and discipline the armies of the Paella of Egypt— who keeps them still in her pay whilst they are directing the war and devastations of the Morea —France, whose vessels of war conveyed ammu nition and treasures to the Destroyers, and thus enabled. the Egyptians to land and to maintain themselves in the Peninsula—France forsooth has been all kindness to the Greeks ! And we,whose countrymen have crowded the ranks of their armies and brought life and fortune to their cause-,---whose Capitalists have furnished their Government with loans—whose sympathy has supplied them with arms and ammunition— whose enlightened policy first recognized their right as a nation to blockade the ports of their enemies, and thus forced other powers, even France herself, to recognize them also, and to promise neutrality in the great contest carrying on—we have been the " most active enemies of Greece !" It appears, however, from what has occasioned this sortie against us, that the Greeks are of a different opinion, and that they know how to appreciate real friends from disguised enemies. LNcW TIM ESil We last night received the ]:toile, dated Mon day morning ; of course it does not bring any price of Stocks, the preceding day being Sunday. Accounts from Corfu- to the 7th of August assert, that Redschid Pacha had lost a vast number of men before Misso!origin', and that it-was expected he would raise the siege. He Wad not raised it, however, at that time. The Jeiurnal des DAats is very angry with the French Government for its conduct with respect to Greece. Taking for granted that the Morea has been offered to Eng land, it proceeds to lament that France has missed this great opportunity for doing what would be usrful, honourable, fair, and touching ! We do not attach mach credit to the report which has called forth theseobservations. We do not see that the possession of the Alorea would be of any great use to us. By holding the lonian Islands and Malta our commercial interests are sufficiently protected, and our maritime preponderance main tained in the Mediterranean. %Ire should find. but indifferent subjects in the MoreWs, and the country would hardly pay the expence of go verning it. The French politicians, however, have always fancied that we were ambitious of the pos session. Buonaparte used to say, that he would have suffered Austria and •Russia to have driven the Turks out of Europe, but that he was sure the English would seize -on the Morea and the Islands ; and the same jealousy fills the heads of the Statesmen who have succeeded him, or at least the columns of their journalists. . , [MORNING CIIIONICLE.I The facetious dialogue between Mr. Laing, of Hatton Garden, and a prisoner, which we quoted in an article on Police Witticisms, on Tuesday, the Gth, was copied from a Report in The New Times. Yesterday a paragraph appeared in The New Times, expre'Ssing a fear that it had contributed to lead us into error, and stating that the words ascribed to Mr. Laing were really not uttered by that Magistrate. In justice to Mr. Laing, we give the. same publicity to the correc tion that we gave to the error; and while we are about the matter, we may as well set The New Times right in another point. We cannot com pliment our - contemporary on the spirit of fair ness with which he has explained the misrepre sentation of his own columns. In fact, when retracing one unintentional representation, he has taken occasion to utter another. Any one, from reading . th e p aragra ph i n t h e columns of our contemporary, would con clude that we had- made some hitter attack on Mr. Laing, on the score of the nonsense imputed to him. The truth, however, is far other wise. We did not " reprehend" Mr. Laing, or instance the sally in question as. " heinous of fence ;" we genera;ly censured the ill-timed and misplaced . jests of some 'of our Magistrates ; having observed that examples of this idle ban tering appear almost daily, we added that the Journal's of the day on which we wrote Were not without an instance of the kind, and then proceeded to remark, that there was not much harm in the pleasantry, nor much wit in it, and that it might have been well dispensed with. So anxious were we, indeed; not to -be misconceived —not to be supposed to be urging the imputed jocularity as a high crime and misdemeanour against Mr. Laing —that we added a little fur ther on, that we instanced this sally merely as it was that of the day ; and the strongest expres sion applied to the smart dialogue between the Justice and the alleged thief was, that we could not help thinking it cc somewhat unbecoming." Our good friend of the Neza Times has magnified this into treating the matter as a " heinous of fence !" He concludes by cautioning us against founding censures on Magistrates on Newspaper Police Reports; we ought perhaps after this ex perience to take care not to be again betrayed into error by his. [MORNING HERALD.] The Irish papers still continu e to advertise theological challenges. The challengers are in every instance of the " Bible without note or cotnmeut" class; or it may be said, the Bible— the whole Bible—and nothing. but the Front the authority exercised by the Catholic Bishops, there is no .probability that the chal lenges will be accepted. It is therefore useless to issue them—and perhaps even more than use less. Whatever party triumphs, the State is it loser—for it is evident that the scale inclines to Methodism or Catholicism, without the least , probability of any accession to The Established Church. Now,. Without going into doctrinal minutenesses, or affecting extraordinary zeal for thd Establishment as a matter of religious conscience, it may be assumed as a pro position neither illiberal nor hypocritical, that this alternative of controversy is to be regretted—to be deplored, by every man of sense and toler ance, of whatever sect he may be. The enlightened Dissenter—the enlightened Catholic even—if friendly to .the progress of knowledge and rea son, and the liberty of philosophical inquiry, must know and feel that he can pursue his spe culations and promulgate his opinions with much less odium and molestation, \under the dominant authority of hiS Grace of Canterbury, than under that of Mr. Butterworth or Doctor Doyle.— On this view, the Bible challenges may end in smoke with little regret. But further; if the question were the broad one between the See of Rome and the Reformation, the time is long past when personal Vicusgions and po pular excitement could create a revolution in doc trine. Truth may he aided by the passions, when first launched on the ocean of mind ; but after the first great impulse, the remnant unchanged must be operated on slowly—insensibly even, by the force of reason. The challenges themselves are of two kinds—or in two styles. The one is a sort of conceited confidence—an affectation of con troversional gladiatorship, which seems to look rather to victory than truth. The other is a style of perhaps honest, but bigotted, illiterate, and narrow theology, utterly incompatible with art!., sciences, and all that constitutes the grace and ornament, and use, and support of the social sys tem. When ignorant and besotted drivellers set up their own impulses or inspirations, as the true comments of Scripture—when they say the Bible is in itself all knowledge—that all else is useless or mischievous—that learning is ignorance, and wis dom folly—the aspect of the question is deplora bly absurd, or dreadful in the extreme, accord ing as these conceited, weak-minded bigots have the power of influencing society and the laws, The Irish peasantry are at present in a state far from desirable—but let any candid and reflect ing man imagin e th em rea di ng t h e Bibl e , an d taking their own ignorant fantasies for diVine grace and inspiration, what must be his hope—or rather, what must be his despair?

About a ilaarter past twelve o'clock, the watchman observe) smoke issuiNr from the lower part of the premises, and he gav, the alarm. For some time his efforts to awaken the inhabitants were ineffectual', and the house was completely in flames before as:, tidings could be gained of the fate of its inmates, when it was ascertained that Mr. Bell had been burnt to death. It seams that the .female part of the family, upon hearing the alarm, effected their escape through the hack of the premises, and Mr. Bell, attended by his man, endeavoured to work a passage through the, front, and lower part of the house. On their proceeding 'down the stairs ' however, the smoke became so d e n se t h at t h ey were nearly suffocated. The man endeavoured to persuade his master to abandGn his intention to reach the street by the front door, and' he was returning when the lantling-plaee of the staircase gave way, and precipitated him into the flames. Mrs. Belt cut herself dreadfully by falling on a sky light, and the woman servant is severely bruised.. The house of Mr. Jacobs, and that of Mrs. Reece, which adjoins that of Mr. Bell, have sustained considerable damage, and property to a large amount in the latter has been destroyed. Mrs. Jacobs whose accouchement is expected every hour, lies in a very dangerous state, .in consequence of the fright she has sus tained. BRIGHTON, SEPT. 13.-A most alarming fire broke out last night, at the la rge an d e l egan t mans i on erect i ng by Major Russell at the end of the Marine Parade. It was first discovered al: out half-past 8 o'clock, at which time it had gained great head, the flames bursting forth With 'dreadful - fury from the windows and every part of the building. The house being unfinished, it is supposed the fire must have been burning within the walls almost from the time the workmen left it—a period of about two hours: An engine belonging to the town arrived about nine o'clock, and that of the Sus- sex Fire-office shortly after; but owing to the scanty and insufficient supply of water, they were prevented from work ing until about half-past ten o'clock, when the fire, hav ing consumed all that was cumbustible, was gradually sub siding. The spectacle was a most terrifie one, an immense mass of flame arising from the house, and rolling over the town. It is estimated that the proprietor had expended upwards of ten thousand pounds upon the house, not a shilling of which was insured. The interior is completely gutted, nothing being left but the outer walls,-and even in these the bond .timbers arc completely burnt, so that in all probability they must be pulled down. A considerable ',Onion of the party walls fell in, last night, and one which was standing this , morning tot tered from the top to the bottom of .the building, in a fear. ful manner. The house was surmounted with a large, and elegant dome, which being formed of wood, covered with lead, gave way at an early stage.of the fire, and fell in with a tremendous crash ; this dome alone cost upwards of 8001. In front of the house was a noble portico, the pillars of which were 'truly magnificent; - and through these the fire was seen raging along the building, forming a most grand and imposing object. At the top of the font wall was. a balustrade, through the interstices of which the flames poured with dreadful fury. One man was so much hurt by the fall of the burning scaffold .poles as to expire almost immediately, and another was dangerously injured and not expected to survive. The proprietor, Major Russell, was present among the sp ec t ators, an d seeme d to bear his loss with the utmost sang froid, as .he gave die necessary directions to the workmen. he house has for a long time at , . tracted the admiration of all vi s it ers, an d i t i s sa id th a t Mrs. Coutts was in treaty for the purchase of it ; the portico had r been stuccoed only the day before. Ti ie metropolis was yesterday visited by a thunder-storm, in th e course o f w hi c h th ere wa s one very loud an d l ong -cont i nued pea l, w hi c h must have been immediately over the city, from the flash being almost instantly followed by the rolling thunder. REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.—There are now living in this neighbourhood, a wedded couple, who wore born the same day, reared by the same nurse, and rocked in the same cradle. They have been some years married.—(Kentish Gazette.) SECOND AERIAL EXPLOIT OF AIR.
