THE BUIiMESF WAR.
The following intelligence is, it is stated, taken
from an extra of the Madras Athenaeum,
dated Feb.
13, 5 A.M.
RENEWED HOSTILITIES WITH THE
13URMESE.
" Throur,h the kindness of Mr. Tulloch, purser of the
have been tavnured with highly intert sting
news from Rangoon. Tho ste-amer, h hich reach, d
Madras at half-past eight o'cloit, last evening, fell in
with the Fire Que.n, off the Ssudlieads, on her way
to Calcutta. Soe brought intelligence of an action be-
tween her Majesty's ship Fox and the
"" t
urtne,e, in
which the former hr.d three men killed, unii
vast lo •s on
the part of the enemy. One of the Queen's vessels was
on her way up the river, but her de

menacing ia their tone, and ng more arrogant and
with the British. The KinevidentiV court a war
g, as we learn from the
Englishman of the 7th inst., has mustered 20,000
troopsrd in the
of Phyoo,
accoing to popular rumour, and there can be no
doubt that, whatever opinions may
the origi, of the. war, untertained as to
ar, we are now fairly committed to a
struggle which must end in the absorption of the choicer
the
portion of Burmese territory. But our friends of
the Madras army must not suppose that the call for
their services will necessarily be made in a few hours
from the present date. Unless the steamer brings orders
given with reference to prior considerations, it Rill be
several days before the authorities can hope to receive
instructiolis to act. The Fire Queen would not reach
Calcutta till the I lib, and all,,wing a thy for the delibe-
ration of Government, it will be the 20th inst. before nn
expi ess can reach this Presidency. It is, however, more
than likely that we shall hear in the course of the day
that the Madras troops intended fir Burmah have been
ordered to hold themselves in readiness. The 25th and
40th Bentzal Native Infantry have been ordered down
to Barrackpore. At all events, war may be look,dupou
as certain. Lord Dslhousio has expreed his entire ap-
proba'ion of the ccniiitiet n Cornmed.re Lambert.

FORT MONCKT,,N, Go•P.,RT.---A sing(''ar discovery
was made a few days ago in digging for the clay to make the
process of erection near Portsmouth. The
batteries now in
remains of a skeleton were found buried about t• o feet be-
neath the surface, consisting of the skull, thigh, and shin .
Nines, and a few minor fragments. The bones are in a state
of
semi-decomposition, from the combined effects of age and
damp. The skull is fractured behind, as if by a blow, and
the remains of a gate-post found lying on the skeleton seems
to show the instrument by which the interment, if not the
murder of the untortunate victim had been effected.
