DOVER, AUG. 4.—This morning, as the Lon4'
don mail coach was coming through 13tinch- •
street, in this towns in turning the corner of
Snargate-street it was, by a sudden jerk, upset.
At the time of the accident there were four inside
and three outside passengers, besides the coach-
man and guard : the five latter wer% thrown.:
with considerable violence on the pavement,
and, we lament to add, that a s gentleman,'
whose name, by a letter addressed from liar.:
per-street, London, and found upon him, ap-
peared to be John Bailtie, Esq. was taken up
in a state of insensibility, and carried to the.'
Shakspenre Hotel, where he remained in a dap.'
gerous state ever since, and it is feared he sus-
tained a concussion of the brain. The French'
messenger, Deleux, was hurt, but net so much as
to prevent his prosecuting his voyage to France.
The other passengers sustained no other inconve-
nience than what arose from fright. No blame,
it is understood, was attached to the coachman,
who (although thrown off) did riot leave go
of the reins, and succeeded instantly in stop-
ping the horses. It is said the seine mail coach
has been overturned no less than seven times; if
such be the case, we should apprehend there is
something peculiar in the build which ought to
be remedied.

[BRITISH PR ESS.3
We have been favoured with a view of private
fetters to the 15th February from the seat of war
in India. By these we find that the gallant and
persevering Officer, Sir A rchibald.Campbell, had
drawn his troops out of Rangoon, and put them
forward on their march into the enemy's country.
On the Itth the camp was formed eight miles
from Rangoon, and on one of the days imme-
diately, following, the troops were in motion with
Z4ir Archibald at their head. We regret to find
that the Commander-in-Chief was not able to em-
ploy‘the whole of his disposable force in this ex-
pedition, owing to the difficulties and delays
which were encountered in bringing up commis-
sariat stores. The forces actually in the field
consisted of about 1,400 Europeans, a regiment
of Sepoys, 400 of the Governor-General's Body
Guard, and 140 Horse Artillery, with twelve
pieces of cannon. With this inadequate force,,
Sir Archibald Campbell has undertaken again to
plant his standard in the field of battle ; and we
have no doubt the same brilliant success which
has hitherto marked the arms of this accom-
plished commander, will attend the efforts of his
gallant little band upon this occasion. Besides
the troops above mentioned, the second division,
about a thousand strong, under the command of
Brigadier-General Cotton, was speedily to em-
bark and proceed in boati up the river by Yain,
Chan Zah, and Duroben. Seven hundred men
were deputed to the capture of Bassien, the only
commercial town remaining in the hands of the
Burmese. A juncture was to be formed on the
route with General Morrison, who was advancing
steadily from Chittagong with a veteran body of
troops. Prome is understood to be the point
upon which the grand army was to move ; and
here it was expected that Bundoola, who has
lately received large reinforcements from Amera-
poora, would endeavour to dispute the advance
of the British. Disheartened by the previous
achievements of the same army, and by the de-
fection of the natives, who were flocking in great
numbers to place themselves under British pro-
tection, we can entertain no doubt as to the fate
of the barbarian.

[NEw TIMES.]
A great variety of letters reached town yes-
terday from different parts of -the world, but
their Contents were rather of commercial than
political importance. The Morley, which sailed
from Bengal on the 12th of March, has brought
some accounts of the progress of affairs in the
Burmese territories ; but their result is upon the
whole inconsiderable. An unsuccessful attempt
was made by some of our land and sea forces on
the Island of Ramree, on the coast of Arracan :
General Shuldham continued to advance slowly,
through a very difficult country, upon Munni-
pore ; General Morrison's corps had reached the
banks of the Majeeo; and Sir Archibald Camp-
bell had broken up from Rangoon, and was
marching upon Frome, conformably to the plan
which we mentioned some time ago. The Maha
Bundoola was reported to be at Parlong, and to
have collected 80,000 men to oppose Sir Archi-
bald's advance ; but this rumour was not much
credited ; and at all events it had no effect in ar-
resting the progress of• the British force. An
unsuccessful attack had been made on a stockade
occupied by the Burmese about 30 miles from
Rangoon. In the construction of these defences
the Burmese show more skill and ability than in
any othr part of the military art. The advices
from Mexico represent that country as enjoying
great tranquillity. The Government appears to
have establishnd itself firmly : and what is most
important, the revenue is collected with ease and
regularity. The English and American Envoys
had presented their credentials, and had been
formally received by the President of the Re-
public.

[MORNING POSTI
• By the Georgian& and the Morley which ar-
rived yesterday, we have received papers and in-
telligence from Bombay to the 14th of February,
and from Bengal to the 17th of March. The
campaign had at last been opened on the part of
the., Rangoon army. On the 16th of February
Sir A:. Campbell having
,received the reinforce-
ments
,which he expected from Madras and Cey-
lOnk had broken up from his encampments, under
a satlnte of seventeen guns, and has begun his
march towards Munipore, where it was supposed
the -Burmese would make a stand, if indeed they •
-,•
dl4 not • avail themselves of the nature of the
grOnnd which was most favourable for defensive
operations, to, check our advance at an earlier
period. Great exertions had been made to pre-
pie a road for the army,. and the forest which
bad so long occupied the .pioneers had been
»earlar.got through, but the rains which had
fallen .in carhar had not only materially retarded
thelabours of the advanced party, but had - ren-
dere4 .some parts of ,the road, which

places there was a succession, of null-
aliLlind swamps, .which threatened to oppose se-
rilta.olistacles to the progress of the troops.
ve,s—helieved that, the army must advance suc-
oeS'Sively. :by single corps. On, .the, 1.03 of
Feb('uary the third c Brigade, ,with the Part: of
Artillery under Brigadier_ Shuldharp, had march-
ed,frern Doodpatlee, and General Cotton had
embar)i.ed with. the_ greater proportion of the
army. ' On the 19th he was expected at Dona-
bee, where he would be joined by Sir A. Camp-
bell:-general Morrison's cave') was on the banks
of the Majee river on the lst-of March, Waiting-
fur the boats under Captain Hayes, to cross the
river, which was two miles' broad at•the plaCe
where the army had assembled. Captain Hall
having.been. sent • from Cheduba with a detach-'
meta. of 500:men to.take•posses4ion of the island
of 44.amree, had been' misled by treacherous-
and compelled tore-embark with a trif-
ling- lasS. :Captain Godwln•had also made an
unsuccessful attack on a ',stockade about thirty'
miles froOm Rangoon. Btlndala and his brother
General were reported to be at Parking with

80,000 men, but noctedit was attached to the
rumour.

[THE TIMES.]
By Caraccas Papers to the 23d of June, re-
ceived yesterday, it appears that an epidemic
fever had raged for some time in the vallies of
Aragua. Several meetings of the municipality
had taken place for the purpose of administering
relief to the sufferers, and arresting the progress
of the disease. Two hospitals were ordered to
be established, and a subscription for supplying
medicines, &c., to the poor was opened.

In our paper of Monday last we mentioned,
without vouching for it, a rumour that the treaty
with Mexico had not been ratified by our Go-
vernment. An Evening Paper, which, however,
is evidently not in the confidence of Ministers,
has put forth the following paragraph, in explana-
tion of the fact :—" A rumour has prevailed for
several days past, that some difficulties had arisen
whkh prevented the ratification, on the part of
our Government, of the treaty concluded with
the Mexican Republic. Much misconception
prevails on this subject, as might be expected.
The treaty was forwarded to this country, rati-
fied in due form by the Mexican Government ;
but there were two or three stipulations in it of
minor importance, which it was thought expedient
to have modified. Hence the necessity of refer-
ring it back again to the Government of Mexico,
because, having been formally ratified by it, the
slightest alteration afterwards rendered such a
course necessary, according to the usual forms of
diplomatic proceeding observed on such occasions."

DUE PUBLIC LEDGEIt.]
'By the Otranto Mail which arrived yesterday,
we have received advices from Zante, to the
29th of June. Up to this period, Ibrahim Pacha
continued to pursue his victorious career; and,
whether from the apathy of the people, or the
perfidy of their Chiefs, there seemed not to be
the least chance that he would be arrested
in it. He had taken and destroyed Arcadia,
the capital of the well known province of
that name, where he alto captured and burnt
Nisi, Calmata, and Almeyro. He next di-
rected his course against Maims (ancient Sparta)
where he occupied Kytrus, the capital and
the residence of the famous Petron Bay, which
he also reduced to a heap of ashes. All this
time he does not appear to have encoun-
tered any resistence worth mentioning.---
Having returned to Modon, he next proceed-
ed against Trepolizza, which was occupied about
the 25th of June, and reduced nearly to a heap
of ruins, though it is not certain whether the
Greeks or the Egyptians set fire to this important
place. Whilst things were proceeding in this
disastrous manner for the Greeks in the Morea,
their affairs wore as unfavourable an aspect in
Western Greece. Anatolico, which is termed by
our Correspondent the key-stone of INilissolongbi,
has been taken by assault; and besides the ;nuns
ence its capture may have on the fate of that
place, it is looked upon as a most important
event, on account of the proof it affords of
the fidelity of the Albanians in the service of
B.edschid Paella_ In the mean time the Greeks
appear to have beeri sunk in the greatest apathy ;
and it was strongly suspected, at the date
of our advices, that Colocotroni and the other
Chiefs who had been lately set at liberty, were
either intriguing with the enemy for their
safety, or had actually sold themselves to
him. This supposition, revolting as it is,
receives a strong confirmation from the charac-
ter of the men, as well as from the circumstance,
that there was no force assembled in the Morea
to oppose the progress of the enemy. At the
same time, the inhabitants refused every where
to enlist ; and it is not at all extraordinary that
the invaders were every where successful.—The
Captain Pacha's fleet was still at Suda, where it
was preparing, in conjuction with the Egyptian
and Algerine Squadron, to take 18,000 men on
board, to convey them to the assistance of Ibra-
him Paella. However, the latter is said to have
declined this reinforcement, as he thought him-
self fully competent, with the forces he had al-
-1 ready under his command, to effect the conquest
I of the Morea.

MORNING HERALD.]
We are glad to see it contradicted that the
Magistrate who found it necessary to call in the
aid of the military to assist in quelling a disturb-
unce a few night since at Paddington, " had or-
dered the soldiers to enter the houses for the pur-
pose of apprehending the rioters." Nothing but a
most extreme necessity, such a one indeed as we
can hardly contemplate, could justify such a mea-
sure as that ; and the Magistrate who would re-
sort Co such a step, except on such an emer-
gency, would deserve the severest condemnation.
We seem to be fast losing that jealousy of mili-
tary interference in our civil concerns which dis-
tinguished our ancestors. It is' the duty of the
Press (a duty which, we trust, that those who
conduct it will never shrink 'from) to resist
every encroa-chm4nts, or approach to encroach-
ment, upon public liberty ; and to bring back
the public mind, and the conduct of public
functionaries, as far as limy be, to those whole-
some principles of freedom which alone have ren-
dered this country what she We are far from
saying that there may not be occasions when, in
sudden tumults,'arising froM the dense population
Of the metropolis, it may become indispensably
necessary to call in the military in aid of
the civil power. We know that the most
alarming commotion which LOndon ever saw (the
riots in 1780) became what they were, solely in
conseqnence of thislowness and pitssillanimity of
the civil Magiitrates in having recourse to a com-
patent fqree to cruShthe insurrection. But when
this necessity occurs, it is absolutely necessary
that the civil power should throughout be the di-•
resting and the responsible power; that the wig-
' tary assistance should.be confined to keeping the
peace atid:checking open insubordination ; and
above all, the sacred privacy of an Englishinan's
dwelling, should not be violated by military intr,u-
siMi: We have thought it right to throw out
these -rernarkt,"not with a View. of imputing blame
to. any one' (for on the occasion we allude to, no
blame that we pe'rceive,- attaches to any one)i

but with a view of keeping alive that Constitu-
tional jealousy upon the subject, which we can-
not too often repeat, has been in times the best
bulwark of public freedom.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
In order that in the rage for persecuting the
working classes, which is so conspicuous among
the more vulgar part of the Magistracy, the ex-
ample of the sages of Blackburn may not lead
other Justices to issue out a roving commission for
the purpose of capturing Sunday-Barbers, and
all who are absent from their respective churches
and chapels, on Sundays and Holidays, it may
not be amiss to inform them, that in the case,
tried at the Bedfordshire Lent Assizes, fog
1817, the Rev. Edward Drake Free against
Sir Montague Roger Burgoyne, for 3801., the pe-
nalties of nineteen months' absence from Church,
lit was distinctly stated from the Bench—that no
liberal mind could have construed the Statute of
Elizabeth in the manner in which it had been
construed by the plaintiff. The operation of the
law was meant to apply only to Roman Catholics
and Puritans. It was a persecting law, framed
with a view to give the Church of England
the victory over her adversaries. The case
of the Barber is only one of a number of
wanton aggressions against the working classes
recorded in the same paper. it is really
disgraceful to abandon the working classes
to the caprice of every fool, whosel officiousness
has procured for him a seat on the Magisterial
Bench. Dr. MacCulloch, in his work on Scot-
land, which has stirred up so much the wrath
of our irritable northern neighbours, has some
very sensible observations on the impertinent man-
lier in which the lower people are treated in this
country, which he deems " a result of the
base and contemptible aristocracy of wealth
in which England glories." 44 The world," he
says," does not render the common people justice.
We hold aloof from them, as if our dignity could
be injured by the communication ; thus widening
a breach is too wide already. It is remarked
that they do not trust us, even when we wish to
do them good ; and this is now complained of in
the new system of education. We cannot much
wonder at this When they are

DOW insolent, it is from tl►e feeling of pride and
neglect. When once they find that we respect
them in their own rank, they will not be long in
learning to respect us in ours."
