ing at live o'clock.

LONDON, TUESDAY. No•LmEaR 30, 1824.

The Greek Government, we learn from good authority,
1-: using every exertion to free the classic soil from the pre-
sence of its late barbarian oppressors. Since the fonuation
of the regular army. disciplined after the European system,
the military operations of the Greeks have been conducted
with much greater vigour and effect. Of these troops,
4,000 have been sent by the Greek Government, under the
command of the most experienced commander in its service,
to press the siege of Patras, and compel the Turkish garri-
son to surrender. At the same time, twelve ships of war
Lave been despatched to co-operate by sea with the be-
s egers. We may therefore expect that this important
p:scs will soon fall into the hands of the victorious Greeks.

Another Supplementary Gazette has been published,
containing some further details of the Burmese war, but
of a date anterior to those we have already given from the
Indian pipers. The despatches published yesterday relate
principally to the reverse sustained by the British arms at
►tamoo. It appears that the Burmese were in great force,
'amounting, it is supposed, to ten thousand men. The
British, notwithstanding the disparity of numbers, de-
fended their position for two days. On the morning of
the third day, some of the native troops belonging to the
Mug levy fled from their post, and the alarm spreading
through the ranks, the remainder of that body followed
tine dastardly example of their countrymen. The ele-
phants were then seized with consternation, and the strict-
IlleGS of discipline degenerated into the wildness of tumult.
•'!'he commanding officer, Captain NoroN, contrived, how-
ever, to effect his retreat in good order for about half a
mile, when the Sepoys, exhausted with excessive fatigue,
could no longer resist the overwhelming power of the
enemy. An endeavour was made to form a square, but it
was immediately broken, and the soldiers dispersed in
every direction. More than half of them afterwards
•reached Chittagong, but of nine officers who were in the
ir:uion six perished. The evil terminated with the disaster
an the field. The Burmese have not dared to advance
.tram their entrenchments at Romeo, and the reinforce-
ments since forwarded would have enabled the British to
foe acted on the offensive, if the season had not pre-
v anted it. The subsequent capture of Rangoon, end the
ether successes still more recently gained over the enemy,
dud, we are glad to state, coinpletely dissipated all the
apprehe..sions which an occurrence f 9 rare as a reverse in
our military fortune had temporarily inspired.

It is intended, we understand, again to unite the offices
of Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief in India,
in the person of Lord BEREIFORD. he character of the
war in which we are engaged renders it important that
these high political and military duties should not be
separated at the present moment. The misunderstanding
between Lord A Mir UST and Sir Entemtn PAGET has
been very positively denied by a crittenitorary, but we he-
beve it will be found that we have been quite correct in
what we have stated. !es to 1.b1,1 A Mit 1:1;111.S return
I. lute, there can hardly he any doubt; a few months will
s':ow wuether• w. have been mistaken.

In another part of the Paper will b: found a very inte-
resting, and indeed we inly say iinport.int, communication
^weeting the young man, fl 1t IA AM It.AX:sntiN Ron NSON,
AVl:use trials in July last, for stealing various articles in
s...veral shops iii the face of day, excited so much surprise,
arid, in so unusual a degree, fixed atul engrossed public
attention. It now appears beyond a doubt that Mr.
ROBINSON was wholly innocent of tlie charges positively
sworn against him by many infrilirilt 21141 rcsrctable
witnesses. This case adds anothtr to the vast iititcb..r of
s:ngulir instances of mistalen identity alrcady cn record ;
and it should be a serious lesson to those who, under the
awful responsibility of an oath, charge others with off:nees,
which, if established against them, must for ever blast
their characters and blight all their future prospects of
welfare and honour. After the successive acquittals of
Mr. ROBINSON, there could be no question as to the pro-
priety of pardoning hint in the single ease in which he was
winvieted; but unfortunately the pardon did not, could
