" ItAivcoox.—Wc have seen letters from Rangoon of the rth

in his abuse of Bundoolah, for not having obeyed positive orders
from the Court not to attack the English till the arrival of :lloor•
sho.nzar with all the remaining resources of the Empire; and that
then. it they ware worsted, a negotiation was immediately to be en-
tered upon. It appears that every individual communicating in-

" Nothing can be more gratifying than the authentic information
of the daily improving state of the health and strength of the Men,
both in and out of hospital. Along the whole coast from Mergui
to ('ape Negrais the cultivation of the grounds is going on in the
greatest csontitience and security. The natives feel satisfied that

men ; this spy statfil, that they hsve strongly entrenched Mein-
pelves, haying taken the precaution of stockading the river, Si its
different turnings, so as to prevent the approach of ships or bor.,
by that route. It is added, that they have also mined the tv ockade

" The movements of the torce assembling here have Maim,

foot of the mountains over which the division most necessamy

" The difficulty wilt be very great in transporting pruvisioall
over the aucerwive ridges of hills the troops' must pass in their
