The Governor-General in Council has the gratifica-
tion, of snacuncing the capture of Bassein, and of pub-
lishing for general information the dispatches which
report the combined operations of the naval and military
force by which this service has been executed. •
In ascerining fur sixty miles a river still very imper-
fectly known—in effecting the landing of the troops and
espnering :the cloy, the fort, and the stockarled defences
on both sides of the river, fully garrisoned and armed—
end in accomplishing all this with very unequal num-
bers,, and within the limits of a single day—the com-
bined forces at Bassein performed a gallant and spirited
service, which welt deserves the approbation and ap-
plause of the Government of India.

THE FRENCIT PRESS ON BRITISH
COMMERCE.
The -945ats hl3 th f:,ll,,wing notice. of SOElle of
the iriforma!La containe:l in vie, deoument4 recently
publidaed by th akkrd of Truth., in En lard

"Everything that can thr,,w any light on the ques-
tion of the remits to t'to English marine of the repeal of
the :Navigation Act is of idle highest interc-st. The
queltion is that of a great struggle, boldly and fairly
carried on be the English nation, against the ships of all
nations, cvainst maritime coastruction abroad: and the
economical censcquencee., whether disastrous or advan-
tageous, which. such an enterprise may entail both for
Regliela'commerce and for the futare `ate of the compet-
ing flrees, ere of such importance that the facts which
may eanghten the subject cannot be followed with too
much att.sntion. The last public ion of the Board of
Trade makes us acquainted with the state of things. It
is vary reanarleablo that the first effects of the reform, or
at least the results which were considered as such, ap-
peered to give support to the violent criticisms of the
Protectionists. lii 1850, the first year of the repeal,
the part taken by the English flag in the
general arnotifat of navigation bad lowered, not very
conliderably, it is true,. but it had decreased about
113.000 toms. On the other hand, the part of the
foreign flag materially increased, say something about
640,009 roue. In 165 t facts • changed in a certain
degree; the _English fig regained 500,000 tone, au
increase to srhich it had up to that time been a stranger,
but, on its siele, the foreign shipping obtained a surplus
of one million tons, and taus carried off the palm in
this maritime struggle to which-England had invited 1..
The tables off - the Board of Trade show that this enor-
mous increase has borne entirely on the shipping of the
couWaier, of :tho Baitie, which are, with the United
Statta, the granaries of Great Britain. As to our flag,
it is awe to sty', it took to pert in ia So much for the
two years wt ich immediately followed the repeal; we
will now comae to more recent facto. Oa the Ist of Ja-
nuary last, ttz4t is to say during the first sin months of
1852 a the mateitime commerce of England employed
5,993,499 tom; out of this amount, which is nearly
equally divided between mailings and arrivals, foreign
Tessa Is stand for 2,043,705 tons, and British for 3,950.734
tons. Tae superiority of the British flag is therefore
seen to be 66 per gent., while the foreign is only 34 per
naat, of the total amount; but it will be seen that these
Proportions already differ from what they were before
the repeal. Let as take 1848, the year before these
taro years; the E•rglish 'marine then reckoned (for the
whole year) 7,574,000 tons against 3,056,000 foreign,
being 71 per cent. for the former, and 29 for the
lager.. But it will be, perhape, objected that
1.848 is' an exceprlonel year; we will, therefore,
"go nit* two years more. In 1846 the English flag
reckoned 6,714 000 1,0:141, and foreign 2,786,000. There
again. we find the •Janse proportions of 71 per cent. for
the ol le, and 29 per cent. for the. other. Relatively the
part 'taken by the Faaalish fie; has weakened a little
before its foretn co•npetiters; bat, in fact, its 6ff..,etive
movsruent has not ceased to increase' end even in a
degre 9 greater than in the pass. hatl 's also remark-
able Li, that 'during the first heaf-yee of 1852 t.a
