unanimous line of co4uct towards her, which '
rnsly prevent the recurrence of a similar danger,
and put an end to her miseries. Such a result
would conciliate all interests, and, we trust, all
feelings. It would be consistent with sound po-
licy and the sacred claims of humanity and reli-
gion, and should our anticipations be realized, it
will give the world another characteristic instance
of British honour and disinterestedness.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
By the Circassian, which has arrived from
Madras, we have received advices from that Pre-
sidency to the 20th of March. The letters merely
state that trade was very dull, in consequence of
the Burmese war. From the Papers we learn
that accounts had been received from Rangoon to
the 27th of February. At that time Sir Archibald
Campbell had only advanced fifty miles into the
country. ,He- had been furnished with ample
supplies by the natives, who were exceedingly
friendly to the British army. Paulong had been
taken with the- loss of only two men ; and Colonel
Godwin had succeeded in like manner in cap-
turing Fantebas, at very trifling expence.—
The division of General Cotton was march-
ing on Donabin. Commodore Hayes and
the flotilla was in the Mageoo river. The
letter published in an Evening Paper of Friday
last, announcing the complete subjugation of the
Burmese empire, is, in all probability, as we ob-
served the following morning, without any foun-
dation in fact. An examination of the geogra-
phical positions mentioned in that letter is alone
calculated to excite the strongest doubts with re-
spect to the correctness of the statements in it.
We understand too that the Captains of the
Company's ships London and Canning (lined at
St. Helena with the Captain of the French vessel
the Courier de la Paix, and that he then appear-
ed wholly ignorant of the news of which it is said
he was. the bearer.

[NEW TIMMS .1
We have at length to congratulate our Readers
on the receipt of official intelligence from our
Army in Ave. We yesterday received Calcutta
Papers to the 16th of March, c..ataining dis-
patches-from Sir Archibald Campbell to the 23(1
of February, at which time he had advanced
without opposition to Laing, between 60 and 70
miles distant from Rangoon. Private letters
had been received at Calcutta from Rangoon to
the end of February. They speak of the Army
under Sir Archibald advancing so•rapidly as to
give the greatest hopes of their reaching Prome
by the 15th of March ; indeed it is said that
the leading column was within seven days'
march of that place. The troops conti-
nued- in excellent health and spirits; and
so little resistance appeared likely to be made,
that the necessity of the advance of the second
division to support the first is spoken of as
problematical; whence the belief was becoming
more and more general, that terms of negociation
would soon be offered by the enemy. On the
other hand, we learn that at Prome a most de-
cided resistance was to be expected. It was re-
ported that 50,000 men and 800 war boats were
collected there,and the Army were in the highest
spirits at the prospect of coming into contact with
the enemy. The advanced guard the army,
which was at Laing on the 23d of February,
consisted' of detachments from his Majesty's
38th and 47th Regiments, and the 26th and
45th Madras Light Infantry.—Previously to
commencing his march, Sir Archibald Camp-
bell had issued a Proclamation to the Bir-
mans, informing them of the real nature of the
war, and explaining how it had arisen out of the
violence and injustice of the Court of Ummera-
poora. This Proclamation had been attended
with the happiest effects; as it had induced the
country people to view the English Army with a
friendly eye, and to bring them in readily sup-
plies of buffaloes, fowls, and other provisions.
In Arracan the movements of our troops had
not been so rapid : advices from them, how-
ever, came up to the 3d of March, at which
time they were on the Mayoon River. From
Cachar the accounts came to the sth of March ;
but there the army was stationary, from the
wild nature of the country, and the want of
means for advancing. Upon the whole,although
these accounts are not of the splendid and deci-
sive character of the rumours contained in the
Singapore letter, which we noticed in our paper
of Saturday, they have the better stamp of au-
thenticity, and they afford almo.st a certain pro-
spect of a triumphant and not far distant termina-
tion of the war. Madras papers to the c,,Jth of
March have also been received, which, so far as
they go, are confirmatory or the above statements.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
French Papers to Saturday'last, and the Eloile
of the 11th inst., have been received in town.—
The latter contains an article of some interest on
the affairs of Greece. It is there stated, on the
authority of letters from Napoli di Romania, that
the Provisional Government of Greece has in-
voked the protection of England, in the same
manner as it is exercised in the lonian Islands;
and conferences are said to have been opened
by the Greek Chiefs with Commodore Ila-
tnilton, who commands our naval force in
that quarter. This news, if true, must lead
to the belief that the Chiefs of Greece
despair of the liberty of their country ; but it
leaves- the question of its final settlement as far
as ever from any adjustment. Bound as England
is to the observance of the most rigid neutrality,
wO are precluded by good faith, even if we were
disposed to a contrary, course, from interested
motives, from accepting the sovereignty thus
tendered to us. The Editor of the Etoile takes
care to impress our obligations upon our recol-
lection, and-insinuates, besides, that as the dan-
gers which pressed on the Greeks at the seat of
Government did not extend to other parts of
the country, it-was not likely the e‘xample would
be followed universally. The French Funds
continue remarkably steady.
