INDIA AND CHINA,

THE BURSIESE WAR.
We have received by express from Marseilles our
dispatches in anticipation of the overland mail, which
left Calcutta on the 2d and Bombay on the 4th ult.
The following is the letter of our Bombay corre-
spondent :
" H. M. steamer Sphinx having arrived at Calcutta
on the 15th of June, with accounts from Burtnah
extending to the Bth of that month, Government im-
mediately circulated the following abstract of the
dispatches :

Martaban was attacked on the 26th of May by a
Burmese force of 1,000 or 1,200 men, who
. were gallantly
beaten back by the 40th M. N. 1., in garrison there, un-
der the command of Major Hall. Our loss was I sepoy
killed, 1 scobandar, 1 naikh, and 11 sepovs wounded.
" An expedition of 230 g troop'
bviz., 100 men
of Capt.
enof her
Majesty's 80th Regiment, under te an
Ormsby, 100 men of the 67th Native Infantry, under
the command of Captain Hicks, and 30 Sappers and
Miners, Madras Army, under Lieut. Mackintosh, with
Lieut. Mayne, field engineer, left Rangoon on the 3d of
June to attack the city of Pegu.
" They embarked on board the Hon.
Company's
steam-vessel Phlegethon, and were accompanied by the
boats of her Majesty's ship Fox, under the command of
Captain Tarleton.
" They stormed the pagoda at Pegu, after s • cme
heavy skirmishing, on the 4th, with a loss of one seam
killed, thrce seamen, two sepoye, and ono camp-followeran
wounded.
The force, after destroying the fortifications, re-
turned to Rangoon on the sth.
Everything quiet round Bassein. The enemy had
left the neighbourhood, and the inhabitants were coming
in numbers to seek protection under our rule.
The troops were all very healthy.'
" This second attack of the Burmese on Martaban
took place on the 26th of May, at SiX A.M. A Bur-
mese force, said to amount to 1,000 men, with an
equal number in ,reserve, attacked our outlying
pickets, and drove them in. A party of the 49th,
being sent out to reconnoitre, was met by a heavy
fire, and returned with several men wounded. The
Burmese force then advanced to within 200 yards of
the camp, and kept up a smart fire. The artillery
opened on them with grape, and, after a few rounds,
they dispersed and took up a position on the Pagoda-
bill, above the town, where they set up a flag, as if
with the intention of making a stand, or of driving
our troops out of camp. A well-directed fire of
round shot ,being opened on them, they took down
their flag and retired. Commodore Lynch, with
three of the cutters of the Feroze, proceeded up the
Salween to intercept them, while Captain Tapley, in
his armed cutter, with a boat of the Medusa and
the marines of the Feroze and Medusa, has proceeded
south of Martaban, and will beat to the westward
to gain such intelligence as he can of them. The
attacking force is said to have been commanded by
the ex-Governor of Martaban, and to have marched
from a Burmese post called Shoay Gyn. It is
stated that it Was a military blunder that we did not
take and occupy the post instead of Martaban ; it
would, no doubt, be desirable to occupy both Shoay
Gyn and Pegu, but General Godwin has not at
present any troops to spare for distant detachments.
" I mentioned in my last that the Peguese, having
Burmese garrison of Pegu, and driven
defeated the
all Burmese detachments from their neighbourhood,
the ex-Governor of Rangoon had marched on Pegu
force and retaken the place. The
with a strong
atrocities inflicted on the Peguese by the Burmese
after the recapture of Pegu are described as dreadful.
Whether or not hopes of support had been held out
to the Peguese is not known, but their cry of despair
at last induced the General to send an expedition to
dr m
ive out the Burmese ruffians. This expedition con-
sisted of about 250 troops. It was intended to send
double that number, but sufficient carriage (boats)
could not be procured in time. The force was ably
assisted by about 3,000 Talians (the Burmese culti-
vating caste), who joined close to Pegu. When our
troops arrived in the neighbourhood of the Burmese
position, the sun Was still high, and they halted,
intending to defer the attack until the evening. The
Burmese, however, marched out with two gold um-
brellas and a strong body of cavalry to attack us.
They were allowed to approach quite close, and
then dispersed with a volley, and pursued into and
through their works. They ran too fast to suffer
much loss.
"It was considered doubtful whether the Peguese
and Talians would be able to prevent the Burmese
Pegu, most of their leaders
from re• occupying
having been massacred after its recapture, and many
thousands of the survivors having taken refuge in
Rangoon. It is much to be regretted that General
Godwin could not afford troops for its permanent
occupation.:
"The health reports of our troops in Burmah are
most satisfactory. They have as few sick as they
would have had at this season of the year at their own
cantonments in their respective presidencies. The
Englishman's correspondent (an officer on the staff of
the expedition) writes as follows regarding the health
of the European troops :
" At the present. time the European regiments here
have much fewer sick than they would have had at this
season in Fort William or St. George. How we all
wish the rains were over, and, with them, the life of
inactivity we now lead, and that the tim3 for an onward
move had arrived. We feel like the pieces on a chess-
board, remaining inactive and motionless till the hand
that directs us shall advance us a square or two. We
heartily wish that the game played between the two
parties was not such a slow one, and that either side
would take less time to think of his move.'
"Twelve of the new barracks at Rangoon are
already roofed, and four or five more are nearly as
forward ; but the men are already so comfortably
housed and thoroughly sheltered that the barracks
are considered scarcely necessary. The officers have
nearly completed a shooting gallery and theatre. The
troops at Bassein like their quarters much, and say it
is in every way far superior to Rangoon. The enemy
have deserted the neighbourhood altogether, and the
natives are very grateful to us for having driven
them off.
" The Proserpine is on a reconnoitring expedition
up the river. When last heard of she was a few miles
below Prome. The native river boats keep up her com-
munications with head-quarters. The course of the
river was found to be free from stockades and Bur-
mese detachments. The natives everywhere are
friendly, and desirous of assisting us; they had volun-
tarily stacked fuel along the river for the supply of
the steamboats in our expected advance on Prome.
" The Burmese policy seems to be to avoid meeting
us on the ground we have chosen for ourselves, and
to carry the war into our own districts by invading
the Assam frontier and the territories :of our ally the
Raja of Munipoor. The measure is not ill-judged.
To defend so extensive and intricate a frontier at all
would require more troops thah we could well spare,
and the malaria of the frontier jungles was found last
war to be of the most deadly description. The best
way of meeting such an attempt would be that suc-
cessfully adopted in the last war under similar cir-
cumstances—to make a rapid advance on Ave from
Rangoon. The Burmese troops on the northern
frontier would, in that case, be immediately recalled
to the defence of their country.
" The following is the latest news from the terri-
tories of our ally Raja Keertee Sing of Munipoor,
dated the 28th of May :
". The Burmese have commenced stockading the
Kubboo Valley, and large bodies of armed men are col-
lecting to invade us, and, if successful, to push on to
Cachar. There will be a good fight before wo are
beaten, as Raja Keertee Sing and his his adherents are
determined to hold their country with their life's blood.
Woongees and Keewons have been sent from Ava to the
Northern Shan Country, where they are collecting men
to invade Assam also. Several Shan chiefs have gone to
Ava to receive mandates direct from the King to com-
mence attacking the English in Assam.'
" The Calcutta Englishman states that the ar-
rangements for converting the Rangoon expedi-
tioaary force' into the army of Burmah' are in a
forward state, and names the troops that are to be
added to the present force for the purpose. The re-
giments so named all belong to the Bengal army, and
this circumstance has occasioned much dissatisfac-
tion among the armies of Bombay and Madras, par-
ticularly in the latter. It is alleged by the Madras
papers, that owing to Calcutta being the seat of the
Supreme Government, the troops of that presidency
are systematically favoured at the expense of
the ar-
mies of Madras and Bombay.
41 The following is from a letter of ail officer with
the force at Rangoon :
"1 There is one universal feeling throughout the camp,
that the Governor-General cannot escape annexation.
He is the victim of circumstances.' The facts are these:
—We storm and take Rangoon, and ere the white smoke
of our musketry has curled away, the inhabitants who
had deserted it, driven out by our shells and by the burn-
ing of their homes, return to find shelter within the
range of our guns. Within two months of thisiwriting
20,000 to 30 000 persons have flocked in and rebuilt the
ruins of Rangoon! The river banks are lined with boats
for four or five miles along, containing men, women, and
children, who feel themselves most secure when in 9i ht

that the English were going to leave the country;ltowe

State of Munipcor forms the frontier of the company's
territories for 400 miles ; the Burmese then come in
again, and possess about 100 miles of frontier to-

of Munipoor would be not quite doubled, and the King
of Ava would still be left a territory more than twice

are very contradictory, and no reliance can be placed
on them. It seems to be formidable, and to occasion
much apprehension.
" At Ningpo a riot took place, arising from the
collection of taxes. By last accounts, however, its
matters seem to have been arranged.
" The United States' ship Saratoga arrived from
the coast on the Bth, and brought down about 100 of
the Robert Boune's Coolies. A court of investiga-
tion was held on board the steamer Susquehanna,
before the Commodore and the United States' Consul
at Canton. Seventeen of the prisoners were found
guilty, and handed over to the Mandarins at Canton ;
the remainder are to be sent back to Amoy.
" Owing to a report that a junk had been attacked
and plundered outside, her Majesty's steamer Hermes
went in search, and returned yesterday, having cap-
tured two junks said to be heavily armed.
" CANTON.—Since the 24th ult. the rains have been
almost incessant ; and the floods in the interior have
done much injury to the rice crops, and cccasioned
great loss of life. Trade has been dull throughout
the month. Imports, excepting yarn, have receded
in value. In exports little has been done. The new
congous are expected immediately, but may be de-
layed by the floods.
" From Shanghai we have advices to the 17th inst.
Imports had materially given way from excessive
supplies; and, owing to the dry weather, and the
banks of the Yellow River not being repaired, transit
into the interior was much interrupted. The new
silk had commenced arriving, and was reported fa-
vourably of as to quality and abundance of the crop.
The steamer brought down 830 bales for shipment by
the overland route. The export of tea from China
is now 64,000,0001 b., against 68,000,0001 b. last year.
Of silk the export is 19,400 bales, against 20,200 last
year.
" Exchange has advanced suddenly both here and
at Shanghae. Here first-class bills have been done
at 4s. Bd. to 4s. 811-d.; at Shanghae 4s. 11d. to 55.,
nominal. Freight may be quoted at 3/. at both
places ; probably clippers will command 41. to 51.
" Her Majesty's ship Cleopatra returned from
Amoy on the 12th instant ; the Hon. Company's
steamer Nemesis left for Manilla, Labuan, and the
Straits on the 21st; her Majesty's brig Contest sailed
this morning for the Straits; the United States'
sloops Plymouth and Saratoga have left for the coast;
the St. Mary's has proceeed south ; the French
