J. W. TARLEToN, Commander, R.N.

COMMODORE G. .R. LAMBERT TO THE GOVERNOR•

GENERAL OF INDIA.
Her Majesty's ship Fox, at Rangoon,
July 21, 1852,
(Extract.)
In continuation of my dispatch, dated the 14th inst.,
I have the honour to inform you that this morning I
received a report* from Commander Tarleton, detailing
further successful operations against the enemy in the
neighbourhood of Promo, by a portion of the flotilla
under his orders. _ _

Mr. Burbank, the Commander of the Pluto, having
been informed that the Burmese troops had evacuated
the fortified post on the heights of Akouk toung, and
had left their artillery there, he sent a tome on shore
to demolish the works, and to destroy or bring on board
the guns.
This was accomplished on the 14th just., without any
opposition, after five hours' hard work under a burning
sun; when all the enemy's guns on the heights of Akouk-
toting, 28 in number, were either destroyed or brought
off to the steamers. Their calibre was from 4to 18
pounders. •
Next day the steamers proceeded to Sablaydan, where
they captured six large boats laden with grain and arms,
which were being conveyed upwards; and, on the 16th,
arrived off Pendengmew, where some Government boats
were destroyed.
On the morning of the 17th, Mr. Burbank anchored
off Prome. Some of the inhabitants immediately came off
with the intelligence that 500 troops had been stationed
on the hill at the back of the town, but decamped directly
the steamers came in sight. He also learnt that General
Bandoola with the remnant of his army, consist-
ing of only 2,000 men, the rest having deserted, was
encamped at Etbamew, a town without any defences,
nine miles inland. The inhabitants of Promo, as well as
of all the other towns, are most anxious that a steamer
shall be permitted to remain off their city, to protect
them from the lawless gangs of disbanded soldiers.
In bringing Mr. Burbank's end and activity to my
notice, Commander Tarleton recapitulates the services
performed by the small steam force under his orders,
assisted by three boats and 60 seamen and marines from
her Majesty's ship Fox, during the last ten days.
The river has been ascended to Prome, 56 guns have
been captured, 10 war boats, and several boats con-
taining military stores and ammunition have been
burnt; and an army of 7,000 men, commanded by one
of the highest officers in the Burman empire, dispersed,
with the exception of 2,000 who are collected in the
neighbourhood of Prome, where, without artillery or
defences, they are no longer formidable.

Not received in England.
