Her Majesty's Ship Fox's Boat,
Bassein, 21st May, 1852.
Sir,—Referring to my dispatch, No. 28, of yesterday's
date, I request you will inform their Lordships that
after we had obtained possession of Bassein, I sent the
Pluto a short distance up the river to endeavour to inter-
cept the retreating army. She returned this morning,
and Com. Burbank acquaints me that he proceeded up
the river above Bassein, about forty miles, that he com-
municated with the village of Mammoon, from which
the inhabitants came off; and who informed him that one
of the party then on board was a person in high com-
mand at Bassein during the attack, that he then arrested
this person, and he has delivered him over to me, to-
gether with another officer of high rank.
Commander Burbank having been informed that a
party of the retreating force, in two boats, had that night
left the village, he proceeded in chase, and succeeded in
capturing one of the boats, in which ho found a quantity
of arms and ammunition, which he destroyed; the troops
landed, and fled into the jungle.
The Pluto after wards fell in with another portion of
the defeated Burmese, encamped, but who fled on being
observed, leaving their arms, all which have been de-
stroyed, as well as their barracks. The party of seamen
from the Fox embarked in the Pluto to assist in these
operations, under Mr. Lisboa, Midshipman.
The Proserpine steam-vessel having joined me from
Moulmein, I dispatched her with the Fox's marines to
destroy some unoccupied stockades in the neighbourhood
of the village of Naputa, which was accomplished with-
out any opposition, assisted by the villagers.
The Lieutenant-General intends leaving two hundred
men of her Majesty's 51st, and three hundred of the
9th Regiment of Madras Native Infantry, to garrison
Bassein, to which I have added the Sesostris steam-
frigate. The remainder of the troops embarked to-
day, and to-morrow the squadron will return to Ran-
goon.—l have, Sze.,

OPERATIONS IN THE IRRAWADY.
No. 31.
Fox, at Rangoon, May 24, 1852.
Sir,—ln continuance of my letter, No. 27, I have the
honour to request you will inform their Lordships that
the Phlegethon returned here to-day, having made a
most successful expedition in conjunction with the barge
of this ship, in charge of Acting Lieutenant Lawrence,
which I had dispatched to join him on the 11th instant.
While Commodore Niblett was waiting for sufficient
water to get into Rangoon River, I directed him to re-
connoitre Donabew; he accordingly proceeded to that
place, and found that the Governor of Dallah had fled,
and that this once famous stronghold was unoccupied
and defenceless. The inhabitants seemed desirous of
affording every assistance, and informed him that a con-
siderable force was collected further up the river, to which
spot he also proceeded; and, at aboat 10 miles above
Donabew, near the tower of Sagadjee, he fell in with
them.

The Phlegethon opened fire upon this force, consisting
of about 5,000 men, which retreated and fell back upon
Sarawah, a town 30 miles higher up the river. He af-
terwards ascertained that a portion of them crossed over
to Hewsada, at the junction of the Bassein river.
Commander Niblett informs me that, wherever the
Phlegethon made her appearance, he was received by
the natives with every demonstration of friendship; and
an anxiety for him to remain and afford them protection
from the marauders and Burmese troops.—l have, &c.
