• STEAM NAVIGATION TO INDIA.—A passage to
and from India, in these days, is considered, what it really is,
as to risk or danger, a mere trifle ; but we are decidedly in fa-
vour of a steam-vessel for a winter passage, off the Cape, and
for this reason, Ships homeward-bound, in encountering heavy
westerly gales, are obliged to keep from off the land, to take
auvantage of the most powerful current which sets rout the
bank of Lagallas, running stronger in proportion to ihe strength
of the westerly gale. So strong indeed is the current, ,that we
have ourselves been set against a strong westerly gale;96 80,
and 76 miles in three days respectively. Without this:Orrent,
ships would often be delayed much longer than they are by
these gales. A steam-boat need not seek the current. By
keeping in—shore, she whould not encounter so hard gapes, tor
so heavy a sea, and would be enabled to make her, passage
round the Cape with speed and security.—( Calcutta Jolo4 Bull.),
A Gentleman of our acquaintance, recently
returned from a visit to Constantinople, reports,
that in perambulating that extraordin-ary city, his
attention was suddenly attracted by a-crowd of
persons, who were witnessing, at the corner-I*f a
street, the emptying of one or two sacks, ;which •
were filled with human ears, cat from the
Greeks, who, in struggling for their lik(erty,
were taken prisoners by the Turks.—(Morning,
Chronicle.) • °

Extracts from the Murnzng Papers, Sept. 9.9, 182,5.

[MORNING POST.]
We were already acquainted with the impor-
' Old; fact of the capture of Arracan by the portion
of the army under General Morrison. The de-
, taiis of this glorious achievement have now
-reached ni in.'an official shape, and are giVen in a
preceding column. They were brought to the
India Honse by Mr. Milne from the ship
Ralphrateb. which sailed from Bengal on the
20th of April, and from St. Helena on the 6th of
August. The news arrived at Fort William on
the 14th of April, and a General Order was im-
mediately issued by the Governor-General, di-
recting a Royal Salute and three vollies of musk-
etry to be fired at all the Stations of the land
forces the East Indies in honour of the victory.'
it appears, that on the 26th of March, General
Morrison attacked the enemy posted on the
Pntioaah Hills, drove them from the pass, and
advanCed to within a mile of Mahatee. On
the (I,7th, Colonel W. Richards's brigade was
employed in the attack .of a strong position
Mahatee, where the Burmese were en-
trenched on the opposite bank of a river. .The
troopS forded the river, and gallantly carried
she position, with the loss of
.two or three men
killed. On the 28th the force halted. On the
29th it advanced about seven miles, and came in
sight of the very strong position taken up by the
enemy for the defence of Arracan. It was a
range of hills almost inaccessible in front from
swamps,the summits being cleared and entrenched.
An attack on these heights was conducted by
Brigadier• General M'Bean on the evening of the
29th, but it failed, in consequence of the extreme
difficulty of ascending the heights, and the-suc-
cessful resistance of the enemy in rolling doWn
stones. Our loss on this occasion was one officer,
Captain French, of the Madras 16th Regiment,
killed ; Major INlemm, Captain .Fitton, and some
other officers, wounded ;• about 30 men killed and
100 wounded. On the 30th, batteries were opened
on the enemy's works, and on the evening of the
31st, arrangements were made to attack a forti-
fied height, which was the key of their position.
Brigadier Richards, with a part of his brigade,
consisting of detachments from his Majesty's 44th
Regiment and from the 26th and 49th Regiments
of Native Infantry, were employed on this ser-
vice, which was performed entirely with the bay-
onet, without firing a shot, and announced to the
camp by-striking up the British drums and fifes
from the summit. During the night reinforcements,
and two guns, were sent up to Brigadier Richards,
and on the morning of the Ist instant a general
attack was made on all the enemy's worksovhich
were carried with admirable bravery in an hour,
the Sepoys vying with their fellow-soldiers of his
?Majesty's service in pushing on after the defeated
- enemy. The 26th regiment is said to have been
particularly distinguished in this gallant exploit,
the native officers being anxious to deserve. the
approbation of their Brigadier, who had formerly
belonged. to that corps.—The private advices
brought by the Euphristes add, that the opera-
tionsof the army had been checked by the set.
tircf, in of the rainy season ; in consequence of
which there was no chance of the war being ter-
minated for twelve months at least. The
Euphrates brought home upwards of 140 invalids
from the seat of war, and according to all ac-
counts the climate continued to affect the consti-
tutions of the Europeans
.most injuriously.
