-aerted village, called Itiancloga. Here we expected to meet with Colonel Godwin, as .illaiondoga is about It mile from the river. The 43d Native Infantry arrived this day at our last encamping ground, and sent on the mail, by which I received a letter from Manahan". "On the 10th, at 7 a.m., we moved onwards from Maion doga. Our road lay through a deep jungle, and the road was so intolerably bad that we did not come to our ground until noon, although the distance was only 74 miles. We passed through a small village, where we obtained a few eggs from the Karrians. My horse, with tent and bed, went on by mistake with the advanced guard. to Lain; .20 miles. This day we dug for water in the„drycourse of a nullah, and found some that proved excellent. On the 21st we again started, at 5 a.m., and at 9 a.m. encamped in an open spot, after a march of BA miles through a deep jungle. On the 22d, the morning being un usually foggy, we moved at 5 a.m., while it-was pitch dark, au - a proceeded about half a mile before day-break, when we found ourselves in a Thick jungle, on a tolerable road, but very narrow; inasmuch that thegtin-wheels by constantly catch ing in the trees, delayed us extremely, and the. six ..miles were not perforiffed until 9 a.m. - when we arrived at this place, (Lain), on the left bank of the Tantabien river, which is here about 150 yards over. Lain is a large village entirely deserted —We are encamped on the site of an ancient Pegu fort, about a stone's throw from the river. .There I found my teat. and horse, and the Saceses, by coming in advance, -managed, to procure some paddy, which is the first grain the cattle have tasted since leav:‹ag Rangoon. We are all in high health and spirits, but the weather is warm. Thermometer is at 99 deg. in the•tent. Here we shall halt until the boats boats come up. Col. Godwin landed at 'Malourdoga , and will join us this even ing. Some Burm a h s h ave b een taken, when they were on their way with dispatches from Bundoola at Pegu. They say that, while they were at Paulang, the English came and took it, in spite of every resistance. This must be Gen. Cotton. Bun doola is at Donabew, and Surrawaddy is at Prome." (From the Bengal Harkaru, March 26.) BHURRUTPOOR.—The Rajah of Bhurrutpoor being lately informed of the arrival of Sir David Ochterlony at that province, sent him a present of twenty-five maunds of fresh sweetmeats, and afterwards gave permission for encamping. The next day General Ochterlony went attended by a number of his attend ants to visit the Rajah, who, in return, received him with great civility, and conversed with him. After a few hours, when the conversation was over, General Ochterlony took leave, and was returning, when the Rajah again ordered seventeen boats of fine cloth, some precious stone§, two elephants, and two horses with good harnesses; to be presented to his-guest, and ,some in like manner to be given to his attendants.—Pami Japan Noma, March;' 1825.) ( From the Cakulta John Bull, March 29. ) From the letter of a much-vilued friend we extract the foi -1 wing lively and striking description of Rangoon, which, at a period like the present, cannot fa►l to be interesting, notwith standing the various accounts of that capital which have pre ceded it : RANGOON, FEB. 14. " Having a little time to breathe, I will endeavour to give you some idea of this extraordinary place. On our first up , prouch to Rangoon we were struck with the number of King's ships, gunboats, and other vessels with which the river is crowded opposite the landing place ; then with the appear aece of the stockade near the water's edge,- which is no w merely a wooden wall' with an open work at top, being six teen or seventeen feet from the ground ; behind this wall is a platform to stand or kneel upon, made of bamboos. These wooden walls are supported by. heaps of clay and mud, and out side them are often eight or nine trenches, four feet from each other, and.nine feet - wide.and deep, and in the bottom are stakes of bamboo hardened. by burning, which are also very . much scattered about, giving great trouble and many serious wounds, foathough notloriger or much thicker than the blade of a common knife, still they penetrate the thickest shoes..._ While passing all these obstructions the Burmese have an op portunity of firing with every security, but having passed these trenches, they do not wait -for the bayonet, but scamper off: Their mode of attack is very -strange they • extend in line, each man 'taking five or six feet which he burrows in, and makes himself perfectly secure from all sorts of shot :—he loads, pops up his head and fires, earths again, and repeats this' as long as his ammunition serves. In this manner hundreds may be near you without any sign of them, except the earth they may thrown tip. Rangoon, I should imagine, to be one of their holy cities, from the.number. of buildings, to which we have given the name of pagodas; but they appear to be tombs or monuments. At the base they are square; these are hexagonally pyradimal, with a slender :spire of tapering form, crowned with a filigree work of gilt • iron, resembling the Papal crown, with the addition of a num . -her of small belts, which give a not unpleasant tinkli ng as t h e zephyrs 'pass. Of thes e buildings there are thousands, par - ticularly near the great orie, the approach to which on one side is through a lane of them, occasionally mixed with colos sal figures, in a sitting posture, with legs crossed, the right hand pointing downwards in the peculiar manner, which is to be observed in all the figures sent 'to Calcutta. The great pagoda is a pile of brick work, similar to the rest, but _greatly exceeding them in size and beauty. A side of the haae, I think, should measure. 100 feet, making the area 1e;,000 square feet, from which it ascends 200 in hexa gons, octagons, decagons, &c., the whole from the base is gilt. Its position is very elevated, commanding an extensive view, and is well calculated for a fortification,- but we have no works .of moment about it. By some chance a few of those gilt or plated images were found in a pagoda, and since that every -other has been defaced by a breach sufficient to admit a man. This reminds me of the spoliation of the Grecian temples by the Turks. To these principal objects of notice here, I may . acid one more, namely, the wharf: at the landing place, which • .-is ycleped Scandal Wharf. It is the coarse, theenall, the gene ral rendezvous, where are liberally dealt out reports true apd false, and any thing_not credited is called a shave, which -one tells another, without giving offence, saying that's a shave. On Saturday the flank companies of the Royals, the Rocket Troop, Bengal Artillery, Body Guard, 47th and 38th King's, marched out three or four miles ' beyond eliimmantline.— . Sir Archibald followed yesterday : as he passed the pagoda he was saluted with 17 guns. Nothing .can be worse than the. =ra i d Saturday ; the bullocks which were sent to-us were quite wild, and no sooner got the loads on their backs than they . threw them off; so that' our officers were bivouacked the first night on wet grass : the men carrying nothing but their great, coats and comelies. All the brandy, wine, eatables, cloths, in. short the entire baggage of those who had advanced, was, from want 'of carriage, left behind. The army resembles the Pindaree force as to want of supplies, but falls short of it as 'to carriage. A stout pony is the best conveyance either for man or baggage. No dependence can be placed on bul . locks ; for though they may go on for a couple of days tolerably, . yet many of them die on the third. Hitherto we have got on . tolerably in the feeding way, as we are supplied with fresh beef every day by the Commissary, at the rate of one rupee per ,_ pound. We understand that the Madras officers get their rations for half a rupee the pound. The horrible state of ennui ' that is likely to attend a long residence in this wretched place is quite distressing to.think of. Our .only hope is that the simultaneous attack from two points by land and two,by water will effect a change in affairs before May. Colener.lll`Creagli will command here. during Sir A. Campbell's absence. We expect to move 'from our present quarters elsewhere, to do gar. rison duty. But that arrangement will be knocked On the head • wren . Colonel Armstrong arrives. Serious apprehensions are entertained of the Zenobia, in which he embarked. 'He has -been greatly wanted. Sir Archibald .Camplell was very anx ious for 'his arrival, as lie knows him well. * • FEB. 17. "Last night the Zenobia dropped anchor opposite the wharf, all went on board by her we ham that the,regiment , is again transfer / red to the Alat,ras Establishment. " The 43d Native Infantry went off this morning to join Sir A. Campbell. We *e to 'move up to the Pagoda as soon as the men on board the. Zenobia disembark, which cannot be fee a day or two, as there are no •boats,to land them ; every. one that could be used has been taken with. General Cotton's or Major Sale's party, the former, to Paulang, the hitter to Ba sine. The men are huddled together-as closely as possible; the only protection .from sun, air, and fogs, -is an Some have a moderate share of baggage, others have none. The vessels for the Basine expedition were delayed seven days for a pilot, and when the pilot - arrived they then discovered that their ammunition was incomplete, not having a shell or Shot aboard. However, the whole is now .in motion, and we trust that notwithstanding all the delays,: _something' will be done. Our regiment will stay here until the arrival of his Majesty's 45th from Ceylon, and two regiments from Madras, daily expected; 'then Col. Armstrong's brigade will advance to support the army. • • -..• ~• -11 On Tuesday we turned out, at five r.. at., to receive , the Siamese Embassy with military honours—there were six per sons, curiously dressed in silk clothin g , w ith t h e i r arms and legs bare: the result of their conference will be.made known in Calcutta first,. and then we shall hear it. The officer who came with them will return• to their capital, and it is hoped they will be able to supply - its- with bullocks, &c. Nothing has occurred between us and the Burmese since our arrival, - except that one of the 28th Madras Native Infantry was caught when he happened to wander from his picket. Three men rushed on him and knocked him senseless; when he recovered he found about a dozen more around him, who questioned him, and cut off two of his angel*, then let him return. It is said that the Bur. mese have signified their intention to desist from cruelty,to their prisoners: - the mode hitherto adopted was crucifixion, decapita. .tion„amputation. • • • • " f - have just been told that a ship leaves this for.

A great number •of the Turks who were retreating to Vrachire, pursued by the garri. son of 3lissolunghi, being 'thus placed between two fires, were cut off by the Greeks, who also took' a great deal of artillery.

" The unhappy Greeks, unable to resist the arms of Ibrahim, and having no hope of being succoured by the Christians, have blindly thrown themselves into• the arms of the English, who have made an excellent acquisition. The islands contain 30,000 seamen, who, in case of war, may man their fleet. We are much beloved here, and only very critical circustances com pelled the Greeks to throw themselves into the arms of . Eng. land." Of whatever nature the offer of the, Greeks may be, and it will soon be known, it will only add to the interest which the friends of humanity, lof religion, and of civilization, take in Greece. It was on the sth, it appears, that the Turks raised the siege of Missolonglii ; and they left behind them in the ditches the half of their army. This heroic defence was not known at Napoli on Ist of August, the day on which the act for sub mitting to Great Britain was agreed to. If the act is formal, it is illegal, becauseit was not done in concert with the legislative body, which is not assembled. The islands may not conse..t. It is doubtful if England will accept and ratify the offer of a Protectorate. There are many ob stacles in the way, and the liberty of Greece has nothing in it tempting, for there is nothing to be made by:it. , The assistance of all Christians is the true protectorate which is now required by a people who are as heroic as unfortunate; our ef forts should only cease when Greece is reduced by the negroes of Ibrahim to a•solitude, or till nut free, but protected, she_ shall have increased -the power of Britain, or when the Continental Powers awake from their lethargy, and France alive to her dignity, shall have put an.end to so many evils by a salutary interfereve.

NAPLES, AUG. 23.—A SeNGULAR CRIME—or rather a crime accompanied with circumstances such as perhaps never before happened, took place some time ago in Bari. A man condemned to be. hanged for some unpardonable offence; was conducted to the scaffold and, underwent his sen tepee. After the execution the body was strip ped and laid on a bier, to be carried to the place of interment ; but as it was on the way towards its final home it was observed to move, and on examination it was discovered that the vital spark was not extinct. Surgical assistance was procured, and the criminal was brought back , to life, and afterwards re-conducted to prison.— On his arrival there his grave-clothes were taken away, and, as the hangman had taken posses sion of the others, and refused to give them up, a furious dispute arose between him and the naked fellow about them, the hangman claiming them as his perquisites, upon the plea that he had hanged the fellow.; whereas the other demanded them as his property, - alleging'he had not been properly' hanged. 'Enraged at not succeeding in so just a demand, he caught up a knife that lay near and stabbed the hangman in the belly. The wound was dangerous, but not immediately mor tal. The criminal will probably be hanged again with all convenient speed. At all events, it is most likely he will be the first and the last who 1011 have to boast of having 'killed his own hang man and that too after having been hanged. ITAATBURGIT PAPERS.-SEPT. 9, ST.

LISBON GAZETTES to the 2d Sept. LISBON, AUG. 29. The Revolutionary spirit has not yet lost its hopes of disturbing the tranquillity of the Penin sula. The traitor Bessieces, the instrument of the incorrigible enemies of Religion, Kings, and People, thought to take advantage of the ex hausted state in which Spain is reduced by so many misfortunes to raise ti.e standard of rebel lion, after having been one of those who com batted it. But his ambition was not satisfied with the rewards conferred on him by the King for his past service, and he aspired by the blackest of crimes to the execrated glory of being the leader of the rebellion. His mad project was born and died on the same day, and he was wandering about deserted by those he had re duced, and on the point of falling into the hands ofjustice. The almost simultaneous appreheo, gion of a lodg e o f F reemasons i n U ratiada proves the incorrigible tendency of the sect to oppose' the laws of the State which prohibit such So w cieties. IMPROVEMENTS NEAR. ST. PAUL'S. Yesterday a public meeting was held at the 'Horns Tavern, Doctors'-commons, in order to take into consi deration a plan of improveivents proposed by JAsrEs ELmEs, Esq., architect, in order to render St. Paul's church-yard re gular throughout its whole extent, to form a new street from New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, in •a. direct line to the west grand front of the Cathedral, and two lateral streets to open, full views of the north and sogth porticoes of this magnificent building. The-Chairman, Mr. SLADE, after regretting his. inability, assured them of his zeal. He rejoiced that this plan, which , had been proposed 2.5 years ago, had not been called into opera tion till now that it bad fallen into the bands of able persons._ He was in - possession of the original flan of that great archi tect, Sir C. Wren, which was to make a street from St. :Dun stan's church t o Whi tec h ape l , b y w hi c h they might see St. Paul's and Whitechapel, and quays from London-bridge up wards. These, however, had been frustrated by petty and partial jealousies, and - he trusted that would not be the case with the present project. Letters were read from the Archbishop of -Canterbury, the Earl of -Liverpool, the Dukes of Devonshire yid Bedford, the Chancellor of. the Exchequer &c. &c. some consenting-to be come Vice-Presidents, an d o th ers declining, .but ail .approving of the plan.' The Chairman here thought-it best that the architect should explain his plans, which he did from a plan before ban. in doing so, he remarked that he could'have made the improve ments much more magnificent, but he had wished to combine beauty, utility, and economy. He propored,a square about the size of Chatham-place, at .the-west front of St. Paul's, in the centre of which, the committee for erecting the statue of the late "King had consented the statue should be2.placed. A series .of resohttions were then . read and, agreed to, to the effect that it was desirable to throw open the view of St. Paul's Cathedral; that the formation of the intended new-streets would improve the trade of the shopkeepers in the neighbourhood, many in vthe ornamental branches of business having been compelled to migrate to the west end of the town, and that a Joint Stock Company, with a capital of one million sterling, 'be established, by deposits of W.- per share, and increased by 51. deposits, of each of 30 days' notice to be given. It was also proposed to open i'direct communication from the Old Bailey to Apothecaries'-hall, leading straight from Smithfield to Blackfriars-bridge. TITLE Or .Tll E EMPEROR OF RUSSIA It is a fact not generally known that the title of Emperor .was conferred upon PETER the GREAT by the' English Government. - In his " Journal from the year 1698 to the conclusion of the peace of Neustadt,"Trinted at St. Peters burgh, from the manuscripts corrected by his own hand, we have the following account of the trans action, which obtained for him the Imperial title, and -which :also occasioned an Act of Parliament to be passed for the protection of Foreign Ambassadors end their servants from arrests for debt:—At that time .0710) Mr. Whit worth, afterwards Lord Whitworth, envoy extraordinary from Queen Anne to the -Russian Court, received the title of Ambassador -Ex, traordinary,ond on tlJe sth of January he had a public audience, at which, by order of,the Queen his -mistress, he employed the title of Emperor in speaking to his Majesty ; and in the letter whicit the ambassador delivered from-the Queen, the same title was-found, instead of the ancient -one of Czar. 'The cause of this embassy was to -excuse-the affront which had been offered to the Russian ambassador, M. Matheow, In England, - as' having been-occasioned by aToptilar commo tion in favour of a merchant. The fact is as follows :—When, in 1708, this ambassador was ' directed by his Court to quit _London, and pro ceed to Holland, he gave notice to-his creditors to make their several demands, which he imme diately discharged ; excepting a *.certain intri cate and exorbitant account of goods which.were charged several hundred pounds sterling above' their worth. This he referred to s ome o f hi s people directin g th em t o examine the goods, and estimate their true value. The merchant, how• ever not considering M. Matheow as an Am bassador, but treating him as a private gentleman, and without ivaiting for the. result of the 'exami nation, or the consequent answer, caused him to be.arrested in his coach, in the midst of the city, land carried to prison. Some hours after, when I the -foreign Ministers were informed of this trans action, they made complaints to the Court, treat ing -this attack as a common -outrage, in which they were all concerned. The Ambassador was consequently soon released, and complained high ly of -this treatment to the Queen ; but with- ; out waiting for her answer, or even heraudience of leave, he set out for Holland, agreeable to his former instructions. _Besides the apologies made by the Queen, in the letter written by her Majesty, the Ambassador added others in the speech which he made in the presence of all -the foreign Ministers, and, of a very numerous audi ence; declaring., at the same time, that he made comand, and drat Atlitieese excuse syoaght t-bbeycohensr Majesty's m idered as if p ronoun ce d by her , self. After this audience, the English Ambassador had several conferences wit hiheßussianMinisters, at -which the difference in-question was terminated to the satisfaction of - both parties ; and instead of Ahe discord which had nearly arisen between the two Courts, the ancient friendship and harmony were fully re-established. It will be observed, that -several particulars relating to this transac tion, -which have been mentioned by English writers, are not noticed in the foregoing- state ment; but it agrees very nearly with the narlative published by Mr. Whitworth, in his ‘' AccOunt of Russia." .Mr. K tAN last week performed in 'the Isle of Man !--( Tyne Mercury) POLICE INTELT.TGENC ~ • ~ CRUELTY TO ANIIIIALS• „ am ed MANSTOy_n t; SE.—Yesterday a cart-driver , beate i ' v viva, was charged by Collins, a beadle, with ha rl , n :ii,po:4 o A horse most cruelly. because the poor animal was n ° l e tr eatn, go as fast as his driver pleased.
