OPENING OF THE GOOLE CANAL.

On Thursday last a party of the Directors of the Ayr and Calder
Navigation proceeded in one of their boats. suitably fitted up for
the purpose, from Ferrybridge. where their new canal joins the
river Aire, along the whole line, into the docks at Opole ; this
being the first vessel which has made the voyage. They found the
whole of the works in such a state of forwardness as to *arrant the
'expectation that the country will have the use of its great facilities
ere the setting in of winter. This magnificent work is nearly 18
miles in length, has seven feet depth of water, and is 8:1 feet wide
on the surface ; it is crowned by sixteen stone bridges of elegant
;construction, and eight cast-iron swivel bridges, and fifteen, or
I more, culverts, all of solid masonry, are laid under the canal, for
the purposes of draining. and also of warping the lands adjacent.
At (Mole it is terminated by a large basin or dock, for the reception
of river craft, 900 feet in length by LSO in breadth, which communi.
rtes with another dock. for the rect whin of ships, 600 feet long by
200 ; from each of which vessels are passed by locks into an outer
harbour, noo feet by 200, which communicates by two othir locks
or nut-falls with the river Ouse, immediately adjoining the entrance
of the Dutch Hirer. The whole of this stupendous undertaking.
which has been ?seemed in the short space of three years, does
equal credit to Messrs. Jolifle and Banks, the contrac ors, and to
! Mr. George Leather, of this town, engineer.—Leeds .ifercury.
We hear that petitions from the several great towns in the neigh.
bourhood of Leeds are already preparing, praying that government
will make Goole a port fir the exportation and importation of
goods—a measure absolutely essential to the rising progress of this
district, more especially as all the efforts to make additional ac-
,
commodatinn for the increasing trade of the Humber seem to be at
a stand.

On these two pious and learned Confederations, the Mentor of

when you come to an Equitable Bank, to save the poor from the
harries of the golden halls, the necessitous from the range of

collection of official document'', which oc-

extending from the year Bat to 1824.
, a native of Arrant', named King,.
possessed- of considerable hereditary property hear
itier of Chittagong, who had taken refuge from the
- King of Ava in the Chittagong distilet,
Government, formed the design of In-
a( Atracin. He assembled his f6l-
a large body of Mugs', settled it,
Chittagong, and many Arracanese, to join them. He wok,
an armed force into the Chittagong district, to compel Abel
remaining. Mugs to join his standard; upon which Mir
British magistrate of the district, who lhad been kept in
ignorance of Kingberring 's design, took precautions against
it. That chief, however, soon subjected the whole pro-
vice of Arracan, except the capital, to which he laid seige.
The Burmese Government naturally concluded that this
invasion, headed by a person residing under British pro.
tection, could not have taken place without our concur-
rence ; to obviate which impression, the magistrate of
Chittagong hail promptly despatched a letter to the Rajah
of Arracan, detailing the real facts; but which the mes-
senger, owing to the state of the country, was unable
deliver. The Bengal Government, with the same view,
wrote tinthe Viceroy of Pegu ; but, fearing that the 800
mese Court might suspect that this invasion was an antici-
pation of efforts on its part to enforce its claims (avowed in
1809) to the province of Chittagong, deemed ami :So
Ma the tnoat efeetnal mode of undekeiving that
and seletted the late Major (then Captain) Canning as lb'
Envoy.
He sailed in September 1811, and soon after a Burmese
vakeel arrived at Calcutta, for the express purpose of mak
ing a representation of the transactions in Arracan. Caps,
Min Canning reached Rangoon on the 18th October, and
was received with proper marks of attention.
Both the local authorities at Rangoon, and the Coo*
of Amerapoorsh, fully believed the participation of the-Aril:l
tish Government in the enterprise of Kingberring. A foes,
Was, however, collected by the Government of. Ava, sufflal
'tient to crush the rebel, who, deserted by most of his fol-
lowers, became a fugitive.
It was now necessary to decide as to our course with re-
spect to the refugees, of which there were three classes :
let, the chiefs, who excited the disturbances ; 9.1, the
Mugs, who accompanied Kingberring grom Chittagong;
Sd, natives of Arraca. who might retire from the opprss-1
skin of the Burmese [Coves. It was determined that the
first should be kept in custody, to await the result of the
communieetions with Ave ; that the second should, in the
'Sequel, be refused a residence under our protection ; and
that the third should be entitled, for the present, to anl
asylum in the British territories.
After the dispersion of Kingberring's Airco, the Bov-1,
mese army, not exceeding 1,000 men, approsel!ed the!
southern frontrier of Chittagong ; but their Commander
disavowed any intention of entering our territories. He,
however, demanded that the leaders of the insurgetita
should be given up. Subsequently, a message was brought
from the }Walt of Arraean, intimating that if all the in-
surgent chiefs and fugitives, as well as Dr. M`Rac, a Bri-
tish.subject, alleged to have assisted Kingberring, were
-cot surrendered, 80,000 Burmese troops would overrun
the country ; at the same time hintiug that he was expect-
ing aid from France.' Our force on the frontiers at this
period was extremely small. '
The first object of Government was to strengthen the
posts in the menaced quarter ; and they directed the
Magistrate of Chittagong, who was the medium of corn-I
mumcation with the Betmese 'chiefs, to inform the latter
that the Envoy at Rangoen was the proper channel of in-
tercourse between the two Governments.
Captain Canning, after much delay, procured an order
from Court, couched in gracious terms, directing the Vice-
roy of Pegu to forward the mission to Amerapoorah with
all honour and distinction: The country was, at this pe-
riod, in great disorder, and overrun with banditti..
The early part of the year 1812 was spent in negotiations
on the Chittagong frontier and at Tik Naaf. At the latter
point, some small bodies of Burmese had crossed the river]
and entered the British territories, professedly in quest of
fugitives. The Burmese chiefs, both personally and by
vakcels, declared their ignorance of these violations of our
terrioary ; but, on the sfeth February, a body of 600
crossed the Niel in sight of the Burmese camp, and when
drivee back, fired upon our sepoys. This outrage was
also disavowed by the Burmese chiefs, who threatened to
behead the officer in command of the body. They, how-
ever, repeated their demand that the fugitive chiefs should
be surrendered.
A statement of these transactions was transmitted by
Captain Canning from Rangoon to the court of Ava, with
an intimation that some atonement or explanation was re-
speisite ; and with regard to the demand reiterated by the
chiefs, Captain Canning had been instructed from the first,
not to consent to deliver up Kingberring, or any of his ad-
heretics; to the fatal vengeance of the sanguinary govern-
ment of Ava.
The Envoy and the Magistrate of Chittagong were in-
structed to proceed with peat caution, and to avoid, it
possible, any rupture with the Burmese; taking every
occasion to manifest a desire to maintain amicable relations.
with the court of Ave, without compromising our honour
or independence. In reporting this system of procedure,
the Governor-General in Council (Lord Minto) doubted
whether the forbearing disposition of the Government
might not appear to the Court of Directors " to operate to
a greater extent than was compatible with the rights and
dignity of the relative power of the Company ;" but the
situation of the Envoy, at the mercy of a barbarous court,
suggested a motive for cautious policy, which the sequel
will discover to be well gronnded. -
In the correspondence between the functionaries on the
frontiers and the chiefs of the Burmese army, the latter
stated, that the only obstacle to their retreat was the refusal
of the British Government to deliver up the insurgents.
They affirmed that Kingberring, Larungbage (or Luting-
bliye), and Nakloo (or Muekloo) had killed 20,000 Arra-
canese ; and they required also that the natives of Arracan,
who had fled with those rebels into the Company's terri-
tories, should be " encouraged, permitted, and ordered to
return."
A difference of opinion existed between the Magistrate
(Mr. Pechell) and the Commander of the troops (Lieut.
Col. Morgan) as to the real intentions of the Burmese;
the former regarded them as hostile, and believed the
vakeels to be spies ; the latter was perfectly convinced they
were pacific. A subsequent repetition of outrages on the
part of the Burmese is strongly confirmatory of the Magis-'
trate's opinion, in which the Government concurred, and
despatched a formal and impressive declaration to the
chiefs upon the subject of their aggressions, and a demand
that their forces should retreat.
During these transactions on the frontier, events of some
iropor:ance occurred at Rangoon, where the Envoy still
.continued. The impression that the person of Captain
,Canning might be seized as a pledge for the delivery of the
Insurgent elders, appears to have induced the Government
to send two additional vessels to Rangoon. chit arrival of
which excited great agitation there, and a belief that our
object was to take possession of the town. The Viceroy,
who had been upon friendly terms with the Envoy, wee
'influenced by the other members of the local government
to adopt this opinion ; and pressed the Envoy, with pet.,
severing solicitude, to send away the Malabar craltset.
Captain Canning refined ; and also declined, in the exist-
ing state of affairs, to proceed to the capital. He, how.
ever, prepared a letter to the Engy Frew, or heir apparent,
containing the representations he had been instructed, to
stake.
The alarm continued at Rangoon, attended by ridiculous
reports. Orders were issued that every house should Air
cash a man armed with lance and sword, ready to appear
at the door at three strokes of a gong. Repeated aPPtliase,l
tiers were made to the Envoy to send away the vessel. and
