Sri JAsrs GRAHAM'S reduction of all the political
questions now in dispute to the single one, " Are
you a supporter or an opponent of Lord Deauv's
government?" is a practical piece of political analysis.
It reminds the public of his pithy summary of argu-
ments against the restoration of protection. The
whole people—the pauper, the labourer, the em-
ployed and the unemployed, the merchant and the
shipowner, the consumer and the producer, the
sailor and the soldier—all, said Sir 'AMISS, are better
off than they were, and " they know the reason
why." Ms recommendation now is like an
algebraical formula, and contains the whole
science of present politics in a single sentence.
Pretended free-traders—who rather encumber
the good cause with their uncertain and
crotchety help than promote it—wish to substitute a
variety of objects, dividing and distracting the exer-
tions of the liberals, for the single one of displacing
dishonest Derbyites. Either they aim at accomplish-
ing some personal, or party, or clique purpose, or
they do not take in all the interests included in Sir
Lists GRAHAM'S phrase; and it is therefore worth
while to return to the subject in order to advert to
some of the points involved.
The Derbyites are pledged, if they can delude the
cenotitecncies, to reverse free-trade and retc a
corn law on the owstry. To leave them is b
to keep it uncertsia whether the present esemmeedel
policy will be emialekted. Uncertainty is wessehe

The prefect, as the natural organ of peace, invoked

power of Napoleon, was grafted ineradicably in the
winds of nations, and henceforth is invincible. This
avowal would have appeared lees surprising to the
Simelabied company had they reflected that the em-

revolution; so that the imperial edition of

purgated enough to suit the taste of the Russian

ROMS, MAT 10.
The papal authorities uphold that they have an-
imated the trial of Edward Murray with, all fitting
justice and impartiality. Mr. Freeborn's 'remon-
strances on this head, and on the length of Murray's
imprisonment, have elicited a reply from the Secre-
tary of State, in which, I understand, he argues
that the greater or less duration of a trial does not
imply the slowness or expedition of the proceedings,
as a greater or less quantity of formalities and re-
m may have to be gone through—that Murray
was implicated in a most extensive series of offences,
of which two, of a capital nature, called forth the
bdiguast remonstrances of the British consul him-

s array's examination and trial were conducted

of justice to its own subjects, that he
was allowed to take cognisance of the depositions
of the witnesses against him, and permitted to

base, and had frequent consultations with him with
sespset to the best modo of concerting a defence.
Touching the prisoner's state of health, and place of
detention, his eminence states that, although his
life is not absolutely in danger, he has been removed
into the infirmary, where he receives all proper at-
tention. To find fault with Cardinal Antonelli's ex-
eases, would be to find fault with the whole system
if judicial administration in the papal dominions, no
Mask task certainly.; but, before proceeding to
illsop 'ogle with his eminence, it may le u well to
await the result of the petition which was sent last
tea to the Pope, merely observing for the present
that, with respect to the prisoner's having the

to an edict emanated by the triumvirate of
Cardinals, previous to the return of Pio None, pro-
hibiting numerously signed petitions from being pee-
'meted to his Holiness. The petition, however, hay-
'hem; been actually sent, will most probably have the
Mist of preventing the extreme sentence of the law

THE WAR WITH BURMAII.
We have received our usual despatches and jour-
nals in anticipation of the overland mail. Tho dates
are—Bombay, April 17; Calcutta, April 7 ; Madras,
April 13; Hong Kmg, March 30.
The following letter from our Bombay correspondent
comprises the Indian news :
BOMBAY, APRIL 17.
The last portion of the Bengal brigade for Her-
mit left Calcutta on the 26th and 27th, and the
Madras troops, 4,000 men, left the Madras roads, in
the Bombay steam squadron, on the 31st ult. Of the
arrival of a portion of the former in the Rangoon
river we have lust received accounts. Tho Madras
brigade would have arrived by the 6th or 7th inst.,
when active operations were to be at once coin-
menced, and long ere this both Rangoon and Marta-
ban have been reduced to ashes. Ihe Burmese had
sent word to our commissioner at Moulmein that
they intended taking the initiative, by attacking
Moulmein on the let of April, as they were tired
doing nothing, and were of opinion that we were
merely blustering. with them. Tho Lady Mary
Wood steamer arrived in the Rangoon river on the
night of the 30th ult., with the head quarters of the
40th M. N.l. on board; they were put on board the
King of Burmali's ship next day. The wing of the
18th Royal Irish had reached on the 29th, in trans-
ports, having been fifteen days on the voyage. The
head quarters wing was hourly expected from Moul-
mein, as also the 67th Bengal N. 1., to complete the
brigade. The General (Godwin) and his staff had
not arrived. The Fox, Serpent, and Phlegethon,
were in the river, along which painted buoys had
bra laid down for the guidance of the steamers and
=:gof which latter there are about two dozen
airen
up for the conveyance of troops and
SUM. The Governoor of Rangoon had sent word to
llintatodon Lambert to come up at once and fight it
Gott as be wee tired of "seeing our ships tiding at
meter, doing nothing but making mysterious
dings to each other, vanishing for a while,
sad then re-appearing." The town of Ran-
railbelieved to bo strongly fortified with
planks of timber, through which our hea-
viest shot will not penetrate—we must in this case
ally set fire to tho place at once. All along the
river stockades have been erected, but with these
our steamers will make short work. All the villages
along the coast had been deserted by the inhabitants.
On the arrival of the entire expedition, Commodore
Lambert was to shift his flag to the little iron steamer
Phlcgethon, which was to take the lead in the attack
on Rangoon. The town once taken, it is thought
the force will remain for some short time, to sec what
effect it will have on the golden-footed monarch,
before proceeding further. It is thought exceedingly
improbable that he will care two straws for this, and
that we are now only entering on a bloody campaign,
which will last for months, and which will end in
our annexing a goodly slice of his empire to
our dominions. It is believed that a large
body of his forces, some thirty thousand
men, is now ready to enter Arracan, to carry
on reprisals. During the monsoon, from May to
October, our troops in Burmah will require to lie in-
active in Promo or Rangoon, after which the war
still be entered on with vigour, and before May next,
at furthest, his Majesty of Ava will know what it is
to have to bow his stubborn neck before British
valour and supremacy, that is, provided General
Godwin proves himself an able commander, which
some people seem to doubt. The preparations for
war reception have been made on the most extensive
scale, and. it is almost a pity that our force was not
sit least half as strong agate as it is. But Rangoon
will bo bombarded and destroyed by the fleet before
the troops are landed, and they will merely have to
easpleto the work of destruction. The Moulmein

The account received on the eve of the dispatch of
last mail, of a fight having taken place betwixt Sir
Colin Campbell's force and the Swatees on the 20th
ult., in the Eusufraie country, turns out to have been

not prepared for conflict, so they made a virtue of
necessity, and nominally agreed to pay a fine of 6001.
for their misdeeds, and our force returned to Peshawar
on the 27th ult. A few days afterwards they were
joined by the chief of Kashkar with 2,000 men,
these having agreed to oppose us. The chief, how-
ever, was found out es having been in treaty with
us to deliver up the Swat chieftain to us, so the
Swedes took the would-be traitor in an unguarded
moment, made him a prisoner, and marched him
alto Swat, the Khaskar chiefs returning to their
villages. On the 30th the Momunds and Swatees
were known to have coalesced to annoy us—the
latter being under the personal command of their
king, who is also their high priest. The party who had
promised to pay the fine to us was warned by tho

at Dhera Ismael Kban, the enemy on this occasion
consisting of a body of 400 Sheorances, encouraged to
plunder by the success of the Kusraneee, Zel men of
the camel corps, and :10 of the 4th Punjaub cavalry
quartered at Drabrun, however, beat them off, killing
four of them. The guard at the bridge of boats near
Peshawur had been doubled, as it was said the
enemy intended burning it ; they had also threat..
ened the forts of Dubb and Shuhkudr. Sir W.Gomm

was to leave Ifosheyarpore on the 2nd of April.
30,0001. had been sanctioned for the building of jails

Hail and heavy rain had fallen all around Labor;
and greatly

Mr. Frere, commissioner in Seinde, returned to
Kurracheo on the 4th inst., after an ab.enee of three

months. He had been all cos er the country, looking
into things for himself, and no doubt his tour has
done a deal of good. A severe storm of ruin and
hail occurred at Kurrachee on the 4th, the hailstones

being three-quarters of an inch in circumference.
The sth N.L.I. quitted Kurrachee fur Vingorla on
the 26th ult ,by boat. Major Le Grand Jacob, resi-

Herat news to the 15th March has reached Kim-
rachee yi9 Candaber, and is thus detailed in a cum-
lianicated article in the Advertiser of the 10th inst.:
We

have intelligence from Candahar down to the 15th
at which place authentic accounts are said to hue
been received from Herat, which are to the purport that
Meer Afsool Khan, son of Sider Phoondil Khan, and ne-
phew of the lloat of Cabul, had reached and invested that
fortress with 10,000 troops, consisting, it is sa'd, of a strong
body of superior cavalry, and unusually well equipped in-
fantry, with a brigade of serviceable guns. The Ilerattees,
it appear., moved out three days' moral, with 3.000 in-
fantry and a large cavalry force, under Sirdar Nlahomed
Syed Khan, son of the late Wszeer Yar Mahomcd, to
meet and give battle to Meer Afsool; and at a place called
House, the cavalry moved rapidly forward. but the infantry
and guns having been deeply ambuscaded, halted. The
Candaharees had intimation of their approach, and re-
ceived the Herattee lee warmly, but the latter began a
retreating fight, leading their pursuers on to the am-
buscade, which was not discovered till the guns, which were
trebly charged, and matchlocks, opened iu their very
teeth, causing a dreadful slaughter. Ot those slain was a
chief noted for his bravery and skill in combat amongst his
countrymen—Hadiee Bukkur--and h hie side fell seventy
chosen men of his own tribe and caste. The lierattees took
advantage of the consternation and confusion thus caused
amongst their enemies, and immediately moved off towards
Heerat, conscious of the superior numbers against them.
Meer Afzool's troops encamped on the ground, and re-
mined to bury their dead wily, and then push on after the
enemy. In a day or two alter this, the ilerattees moved
out again in great force and gave battle, both armies
drawn up upon the open plain, within 10 or 15 miles el
Herat. The fight is said to have been a bloody one, ending
in the entire defeat of Mahomed Syed Khan, who tied with
his discomfited troops, and threw themselves into the for-
tress, which appears, if our accounts be true (and we have
no reason to doubt them), to be in a state of siege. We
have been also informed that the ruler of Cabul has in-
structed his nephew to do his best to take Herat, and that
he shall have 10,000 troops as a reinforcement via Bally
should such be needed.
In the Nizam's dominions matters continue daily
to grow worse and worse! Parties of the contingent
are now out in three or four directions after bands of
marauders, and in the capital itself murder and
rapine are rife. We are said to have again premed
the Nizam for payment of the balance doe us, and the
arrears of pay (some months) due the contingent.

dencies are to be held by barristers or solicitors, who
are to hold them permanently during life or good

coroner, will be nominated sheriff of Bombay.

The Ouicowar is said to hare given himself up
body and soul to the pleasures of the bottle—his
time being spent in getting drunk and then partially
1 sober to enable him to discuss further poison. Every:-
thing is left in the hands of his minister, the notori-
ous lihow Tambekur, who openly boasts of his in-
fluence over the members of gdvernment here, and
who demands money of his sottish master to enable
him to triumph over Outram in England as he has
done in Bombay.
