nal defeat and sfaug,htea:,.nf.tlie, Burmese here. The city of Ar-
'dean contained 20,00i.inhabitarits two days before the atenti,
wren they all fled. About 15,000 have since COine in ; and it

the kind treatment they are likely to receive. . Never

'We have received letters from .-Arracan as late as the 6th
April. The country is described as jungly and sunder-
bundish. The appearance of the city itself is imposing, with
its amphitheatre of formidable hills, studded with pagodas,
.&c. A 'canal runs through -the. town, adding nothing to
the fragrance or salubriousnerea of the scene. The country
is very productive in grain, and the inhabitants are deli ib-
ed as well clothed, well fed, and-well housed. A friend whose
letter is ,dated Rajalia, near. Arraean; 6th April, writes as
follows
" You know all about the carrying the Padova' Path, where
:our Light Bobs charged with so much- eclat—of the battle at
.Nahatee, and the enemy's retreat to their stockaded hills round
.Arracan. On the 28th ult. the Light Infantry Battalion and
Rifle Company, Slug Levy, formed the advanced guard, and
..early on the 29th we ware all in motion. The 2d Light In-
fantry, Six companies Europeans, Rifle Corps Mttga, and two
,lie-pounders, formed the al. value.. under .Brigadier-General
:5113ean, the main body following as a reserve under the Briga-
dier-General comtnandille. About. 6 a. in. we moved on ; but
the thick fog prevented our seeing the stockade hills in advance,
that were distinctly visible the previous evening. About eight
o'clock we arrived in front of the hills, and the torn toms beat-
.itg on each height told usahe enemy were on the alert. The
min soon clearing
_away, we beheld eight of those hills, the
crowns of which were strohgle Stoekaded, or lather entrenched.
—The position nature had made- stronger than I believe was
• expected. The. enemy opened their guns immediately, hut with
little effect. Three or four of the light companies were extended,
and the six-pounders opened on one of the smallest strongly en-
trenched hills in front of the pass to the town. Here- we should
hove halted. The position of theeneniy was stronger than had
been expected. The Light Company. 54th, and remaining Coin-
!omits, Light Battalion,and 31tre-,g rifles, advanced to the charge:
The six-pounders being also drawn up nearer to the hills in sup-
port. Ail however was in vain ; the hill required great exertion
to ascend', independent of any opposing force at its, summit—
. and a few extended Light Infantry men, what could they do
a.ithout support.? They attempted,-however, bravely. Major
Kemm, with two Companies 2d Light Battalion, Light Corn-
- pany, 54th, and Mugg hid nearly gained the summit
amidst s hot fire, when stones-and spears -were used with but
too much effect. When. almost at the top Major Kemin was
wounded in the head. Captain Clarke, A.D.C., received seve-
ral contusiona, when his tittn, I believe, was over
,their en-
trenchments to pirll himself up ; and one of the 54th, who had
reached the top, and provided for one cr two of the Burmese
who rose out of the trenches to heave stones down the hill, was
also severely wounded. Captain French also arrived with the
16th M.N. E., entered the pass to the other advanced companies.
The guns were now drawn into a small plain in front, within
half musket shot of the enemy, and exposed to the fire from an
extended line of entrenchments. Here -the Artillery and tile
company of the 2d Light Infantry, who dragged in the guns,
aaEr-red most severely. Wane' Lindsay had advanced to the
outside of the pass, with some tivelVa-pounders; and continued
to play on the hills for some time. General Morrison also ad-
vanced, and, on neari,:g the pass, a hall passed between his
horse's legs. The General was thrown, but he instantly mount-
ed again, and continued -to give his directions. The Artillery
, BOW retired, and our Conipanies in advance remained under
shelter of the jungles and banks at the bottom of the hill
to protect the six-pounders they were obliged to relinquish
4112 the plain. All now 'remained quiet- till the evening,
except on the part of the enemy,. who continued during the
afternoon to fire their large guns at our camp." (The writer
• • goes ion to state that -the guns were drawn off and, abreast
work :raised outside of the pass, whence some shots, were occa-
sionally fired. On the 31st, in the evening, the Hankers of the
---2 d Brigade, with six companies of the 44th, thirty diaminanted
Geedner's horse. and thirty sailors, all under the command of
Brigadier-General Richards, were quietly
.got underarms, and
marched' round the base- of the. hill, the road to the top of
which had been reconnoitred and found practicable. Accord-
ingly they, in a short time; Made-themselves masters. of this;
and the Bost morning they ::advanced, the Burmese abandon-
ing,hill after hill to them. 'At length our troops entered Ar-
magh, and found it deserted, The town consists of low hills,

with kriver running through, and reminds one of the low
Dutch towns.)
All the troops, European as well as native at Arracan, are
said to be in the best possible health and spirits.
A letter from Mahatee Arracan, April 8, says, " the force
for Ramree is to quit tahattee at 4 p.. m. this day. The fol.
lowing vessels are to form the expedition, vii, Research, As-

" We have been favoured with the following extracts of a
,etter from Rangoon, under date the 3d April :
" I saw some letters from Donabew yesterday. Sir Archi-
bald arrived there on the 25th, after a retrograde movement of
about forty miles. He is encamped on a plain,, near the place,
and was joined by General Cotton's party, who came round
with their boats, under the fire of the stockade. It is considered
far too strong to be attempted by escalade. We had, therefore,
opened regular trenches, and were working night and day at
batteries for both cannons and mortars, a mode of procedure
Bundoolah has not hitherto been made acquainted with.. They
have attacked the camp, and with a greater degree of spirit
than was expected, but were repulsed with loss. Most peOple
think; that if we take it in good style, the impression will be
more decisive than any thing we have yet done. I heard last
night that Gen. M'Creech had got as tar as Suaza, which is
supposed to be nearly half way to Promo. The 30th Native
Infantry followed hint yesterday; Major Sale is still. at Bas-
sein. We are quiet enough here, and the Burmese still settling
thickly. They talk of a foree coming down-to amuse the good
people again, but reports are so common and soyariqusn there is
no believing them.
" Aerounts which we have seen of the 4th instant, state that
Sir Archibald
.Campbell had got within three days march of
Pronie, when his army returned to Donabewn- They passed
over, and arrived before the place on the 25t1n- which is stated
to be closely invested, that it is considered next to imposeible
Bundoolah can escape. They hate made two very desperate
sorties, but were driven back with_ severe loss, whilst ours was
trifling. One attack, it appears, was m4:-.1 with their, war plc,
phants, about lffin numbereon our hody guard, and only three
got back ; all the Mahouts of the Others haring been either
killed or wounded, as wall as the men upon the elephants,
there being, it seerae, four on each, with a Ginjall.
" The greatest part of their war boats haVe .alsesbeen cap-
tured.
"General Cotton in the steam-boan and a part of the flotilla
pushed past the place, the guns playing .on them—ahe Dun-
doolah's escape that way is thus cut off. Brigadier 'lll!reach
is stated, in some accounts, to have arrived aippcisife to Dona-
bew on the other side of the river; and it, appears Sir Archi-
bald's army had completely surrounded. the Place.
" One hundred pieces of artillery were'ready to open on the
night of the 3d instant, and a heavy cannonade was heard at
Rangoon in that direction. Ships were exphched to leave It n-
goon for this place in a-very few days after these.: ,
(From the Madras Gazette; April 16.)
st
At anchor, in 4i fathoms, in the river Irawuddy,
8 miles- below Donabew, March 5, 182.5. ,
" Although I have noparticular information to relate, I ima-
gine that the slightest piece of intelligence 'will prove-accept-
able. 'We had a'skirmish with fifteen war boats, and about
1,500 men on shore, on the let instant. We had weighed
with an intention of taking up our present position, about
6 a. at., and, in consequence of the perpetual current, were
obliged to land the men to track the boats. It was then
foggy, about eight A.m. The fog cleared away,
,and, to
our utter astonishment, we - discovered. :gold war boats,
gold chattahs, and various other gay articles, and then
marching and counter-marching. Notwithstanding their
force, we attacked them on . shore and afloat with our advanced
guards of noatS and troops ; their fire was very heavy and quick
but not within range or their shot.. The tong ; guns in: the
3legna and Irrawiiddy told extremely well on them, and in ten
minutes not a gold chattah or silk streamer was visible. The
war boats are still within two miles-of. us. We made every
effort with the fast pulling boats, to get hold of them, but all
to no purpose. The reason of our being here so, long,' is in
consequence of the steam vessel Powerful and four tough
boats not being 'able to .get into the Irrawuddy till the s; rings.
and lam happy to say they are all in tow. I expect we shall
attack the ,enemy's position at Donabew to-morrow. It is a
well built stockade, about 16 feet high, with a ditch of 10 feet
round it ; about. 100 pieces of artillery with 11,000 men coin-
inanded.by Bundoolah. Ourforce,reckoning sailors, artillerythen,
&c. amount to 1.000 Men, and we are .all in great. hopes they
will fight us. Our shoes are.woru out on shore, and the
conper on oar bottoMs running after them. I siKtliTet you
know the result of the attack the first opportnnity. ,We re-
ceived a letter this day from the levied coltimitae %Wing that
they are advancing towards Prome. IVe got fresh beef every'
day, and the villagers are quite friendly to us, bringing eggs,
poultry, and vegetables. In the attack on the laC March not
one afloat was touched ; about four men on shore slightly
wounded. We killed nine or ten of the enemy,' and took 'se-
veral prisoners." • •• •
Extract of, a- letter from Arrhcan, dated' &I Apill':2."'Two,
hrikatles are proceeding to lianiree. Another force is expected
to be dispatched to Talah. ileacl.qitarte:a to remain here for
some time. The baggage is still in the rear -; and as the country
all round offers many obstacles to moving it is feared the pre-
sent campaign will see us no farther on our road-to Ummera-
poora. Now and then we shall, no ioubt; digress, in order to
chastise the enemy, should he- appear to annoy us. The
greatest praise is due to' the Quartermaster and Survey Depart-
'ment : they have had a toilsome time of it."

No official news was received by the Reliance, the vessel
which left Rangoon on the 2d April, arid arrived at Kidgeree
on Sunday last. The ship Lord Amherst was reported yester,
day from Arrecan the 11th April.
We understand :hat the native accounts mention that the dis-
turbances at Bhustpore have been amicably settled, through the
mediation of the Blum.. Hove far this may be correct ayes .do
not pretend to say.

MADRAIi, APRIL 16.

. . ,
We learn from a correspondent that - Brigadier-Genral
M'Creitgh's division left Rangoon on the 15th 'of March. The
same correspondent, noticing the attack of • Dimabew, reports
that it is considered be extremely. strong-1200 yards each
face, with 25 guns on each, and having a deep ditch—t..l)e wall
of the fortification being of brickwork,sased with timber,sl:lfeet
in thickness, with pits and spilies,'Coveted: with grass, so, as
be hid from view, • all- round :the Place. • Bundoola is said to
have hid- 15,000 fighting men our force was not more than
750 bayonets. It was understood that Sir Archibald Campbell
had joined Brigadier-General Cotton; and it was reported that
Bundoola had evacuated Donabew; meaning, it was thought,
to proceed again to I:angoon. . Brigadier-General M'Creagli's
division was about eight miles from Rangoon on the 20th of
March, and was expected to move on the fo:lowing day.
CALCUTTA, APRIL 7.
Private letters of the 18th illarch mention that Sir Archibald
Campbell wail-to be at Donabew on the.l.9th. Lieut.-Colonel
Pollock was proceeding from Rangoon to join Brigadier-Gen.
Cotton with two 19-pounders, two mortars, and several howit-
zers. BriaatlierilPCreagh was also preparing to move with the
Royals and two Native Regiments. The Ilydery and Adrian
had arrived, and also 11. M. 48th from Ceylon.

His Excellency the GoVernor was still at .Aripo on the sth
current. Experiments with a diving bell, wholly constructed
at Columbo, under the superintendenre of Lieutenant Daver-
not of the Royal Staff Corps, had been tried several time's on
the pearl banks, with entire success as to the utility ,of the
machine.. The divers were down once for one hour and three
quarters Without the slightest inconvenience, being plentifully
supplied with air from above by barrels. The bank they had
been on lies in from eight to nine fathom water. Toe wind
having blownstrongly from the southward during three days,
had delayed further operations on the (idler banks.
MAnitas, APRIL 19.
The ships Rombay Merchant, Captain Hill, and Helen,
Captain Langley, arrived t',is morning from Rangoon, the
former having sailed.so late as the sth instant, and the latter
on the 3d. At the time these ships left Rangoon Donabew had
not fallen; but there was no doubt of its being in ourpossession
immediately. The enemy had made several sorties from it,
and had suffered most severely. . A heavy firing was going on
when the.

CALCUTTA, 'APRIL 4.
We have seen a letter from ilalda of the 24th ult., which
treats thus upon a subject very interesting to some of our read.
ers r—" The market will be overstocked with Indigo this year,
which I fear will reduce the price so as tp make the favourable
season a misfortune to the Planters. No one in this quarter re.
members to hake seen such prospects of a large crop. We have
almost finished our Dlarch sowings, and,the young plant looks

remarkably well. By the Ist of June we shall be manufacturing
our October plant,whi& is already a cubit high."
BOMBAY, APRIL 10.
There have been various and alarming reports during the last
few days relative to.the state of affairs in Cutch. We have
received private letters.from Bhooj, by ses' of so late a date as •
the sth instant. They state thata large body of Scindians and
Mayannas, estimated at from 4,000 to 6,000 men, had taken
possession of a stror, hill, about 14 miles from the capital, and
were sending out ilundering Parties in all directions. Two
flank companies from each of the regiments of .Bhooj, with a
troop of cavalry and detachment of artillery, were to march on
the night of the sth to attack their position, and we may hourly
expect to hear the result. The 16th regiment (N. I.) and 150
men of the second European regiment are in orders to hold
themselves in readiness to embark for Cutch.
It was also rumoured that circumstances were likely to ren-
der it necessary for the Beighaurn forces to move ; but letters
received to-day report every thing quiet in that quarter.
The Blseels are, we understand, again- troublesome in
Candeish ; and a Regiment has moved from Surat in that di-
rection.
According to an official statement published in the Manrl-
- Gazette, it appears that the number of trading vessels
which arrived at the lsiand in the years 1822 and 11323, was
582, with a tonna,ge of 125,742, and 12,209 men. Of these,
384 were British ; and of the foreign vessels 171 were. French.
The value of the imposts was 6,240,045 dollars ; 'of this sum
4,522,806 was British. The valne of the exports for the two
years was 4.835,01;9 dollars ; and of this suns 0,552,559 was
British. The annual British average of imposts was
2,261,403 ; of exports 1776,280 dollars ! and the annual lo-
reign average of imposts was 850,619 ; of exports 641,555

We understand that intelligence had been received in camp
at Dassa, of Major Thornas, who was command of a aqua.
dam of the Ist Light Cavalry, and a detachment of Infantry,
having made himself master of Dungerpore with trifling loss :
and that he had also had an affair among the hills with a party
of maurauders. The eilief-'s wife and family hail been taken
prisoners, but as Major Turner unfortunately did not come up
with the freebooters till after sunset, darkness enabled most of
them to escape.

The following journal from art eye-witness of the operations

" CarnP be ors 114apatJ, Tuesday, March 28, 18!5.—The
division arrived-at this place this morning, and found stockades
erected .on-the Inpa,of every hill.: Immediately on„ourarrival,
a reeonnoitering party was posted.on a hill in our rear, and we
doinmenced throwing shells, and a fruitless attack.at escalading
Was made, in which, •we suffered a severe loss of both. officers

there are one, or litore Europeans in the stockade is certain; as
one in particular- was distinnuished by his dreSsnand at times,
it it said, his voice was rnainly heard, lie appeared to be at.
tached to the guns. A. gold umbrella was clearly discernible,
but which was treated with little respect by our artillery men,
who very soon diminished its gaudy appearance by sending a
ball or shell through it.
Wednesday, March.3o.--This day was passed like yesterday
in shelling the enemy's works; few or no accident', one half
of each corps remaining constantly under arms. At night a
working party of a hundred Europeans and the same number
of Natives, was sent down to assist the Pioneers, its erecting a
safe: banfery.under the superintendence of an engineer, with a
covering patty of a hundred Eu.ropeat4and a hundred Natives.
On one of the hills a gun which annoys the camp, as it appears,
pointed in the direction of our centre and carries direct into the
Midst of our tents—fortunately they are not expert in laying
their guns, or it might have done much injury. One of these
halls was picked tip in the lines of the 26th Regiment—it ap-
Pears to be an eightpounder and the half of adouble headed
shot.
" Thursday, March 31.—This day was passed as yesterday,
in shelling the enemy's works: no accidents were reported to
have taken place..- A trooper of the 2d Local Horse, seized in
the jungle a prisoner, who was forthwith conveyed into durance
rile,'follOwed•by..all the tag rag and lighted of the camp. At
Cfnlif o'clock thisfeveninan a:-storming :party was formed from
the Ist Brigade, under the cominand Of Brigadier. Richards,
with the intention of mounting one of the hills in postessiiin 'of
the enemy, in all secret), and silence, under cover of night; it
consisted of the Grenadier, Light, and four 'Battalion Cortina-
. vies of his Majesty's 44th Regiment. The two Grenadier and
- -
the Light Companies of the *Nth and 49th Regiments. Total,
twelve Companies, with Light Artillery mounted on elephants,
under an Officer, 40 Pioneers under an Officer, 51) Troopers of
the 2d Local horse, dismounted ; and 39 European sailors of
the flotilla, under-General Armstrong, of, I believe, the Com-
pany's cruiser the Research.
" Friday, ,April I.—The storming. party under Brigadier
Richards,- formed in two columns, in petlect silence succeeded
in gaining thersummit of .the hill, where they remained till
dawn, when perceiving perhaps the advantage they had wined,
they followed the enemy from hill to hill driving all' before
then], and at length, without the, loss of a single man, suc-
ceeded in gaining possession of the whole pass of Arracan,
and the fort and. city. At five &clock this morning a column
of assault of the 2u brigade (with exception of two companies
of his Majesty's n4th regiment, which were attached to the sth
brigade, four companies of the 2d Light Infantry, Battalion, 30
sailors, 60 troopers (dismounted) of the 2d Local Horse, and
30. European Artillery, assembled in front of the lines of the
64th regiment. The main body assembled in front of the lines
• of the 44th regiment, and consisted of the Ist and sth brigades,
a wing of the 2d bight Infantry Battalion, the 2d Local Horse,
and the Mug Rifle Company. The whole under Brigadier-
General ninßean, C.P. The following is a copy of the Divi-
sion Order issued on this occasion :
" Division Orders.—The Division having been accomplished
by the occupation of Arracan, the first object contemplated by
the Governor-General in Council, when its allotted operations
were directed, the Brigadier-General commanding will endeas
your to bring to the notice of the Commander-in-Chief, the just
claim all have established to his Excellency's approbation, nut
only for their daring gallantry, -(a characteristic of the Indian
Army) but also, for their cheerful endurance of privations, (a
symbol of devoted duty,) during a contest of six days and more.
" The Burmese have been taught to feel that neither num-
bers, positions, rivers, nor defences, can avail them, perma-
nently, as obstacles to prevent the advance of British troops.
" It is singular, that to each distinct part of the force, praise
has become, on separate occasions, more particularly.due. To
the 2d Brigade and the 2d Local Horse, for first crossing the
ford of Mahattee. To the sth Brigade and the
fire a Ligt theht Battaass
-
lion, for its steadiness under the most galling,
into Arracan. To the Artillery for their well-directed fire, and
P
arduous labour in the batteries.
" To theist Brigade and the 2d Local Horse for the noble
manner in which they carried the heights last night, and de.
