Burmese war. That there is some foundation for
these reports, and one entitled to some credit,
appears an unquestionable fact. The London
China ship received letters from a French vessel
at sea bound from Sincapore to Bordeaux. These
letters -were addressed to merchants of the City.
They are dated about the middle of April, and
they state the arrival at Sincapore of a vessel
from Bangkock, bringing the important intelli-
gence that the British troops had entered the
BuNnese capital, and taken the Emperor pri-
soner, and that a peace was immediately con-
cluded, on terms the most advantageous and ho-
nourable to the British arms.

We received last night by express, French Pa-
pers to the Bth inst. and the Elate of Thursday.
The latter, in repelling an attack made by the
Journal des Debuts, betrays two important facts :
first, that the treaty concluded with the Haytian
Government contains some secret articles se-
condly, that one of those articles binds the Hay-
tians not to trade with the French Colonies in
ele West Indies, or even to allow their vessels
to show themselves on their coasts. The object
of this prohibition, which, we are told, was
agreed to without any difficulty by the President
Boyer, is to prevent the danger which might arise
from any communication between the indepen-
dent Blacks of St. Domingo and the Negro Slaves
at Guadaloupe and Martinique. This arrange-
ment may serve as a guidance to the other Powers
who possess colonies in the West Indies (our-
selves in particular), with respect to the mode of
recognizing the new State.—(ibid.)

[PUBLIC LEDGER.]
A great sensation was excited yesterday in the
city, by the arrival of a letter from Sincapore of
the 9th of April, announcing the termination of
the Burmese war,--the King, his capital, and in
fact the whole of the Burmese• Empire, having
previously. submitted to our troops. The letter
containing this important news was received on
Thursday last by an eminent hous- in the City,
and was sent the same day to the India House ;
but of the credit attached there to its contents we
are wholly. ignorant. It was brought from. Sin-
capore by a French vessel, bound to BOurdeaux,
and thence transmitted to this country. It will
be seen from the copy which we give of it, that
it is exceedingly meagre in its details, which
alone would he insufficient to overturn its claims
to authenticity, as it may have been written in
great baste, and before the particulars had tran-
spired. The episode, however, of the indiscri-
minate massacre of the Burmese troops,at a place
not designated, and: by a corps of our army, the
name of which is also omitted, and which occu-
pies more room than the main story, may be only
an instance of bad taste, but it seems to us to
shake the credit of the whole. Besides the date
subjects the intelligence to deep mistrust, as it
was hardly possible that any one of the events,
which it mentions, could have been then known
at Sincapore. They -must all have occurred be-
fore the middle of March, to enable them to be
known at that place at the time stated ; whereas
our previous advices from the main body of
the expeditionary Army, ir,tr dated the negin-
ning of that month, when a long march through
an unknown and difficult country was before
them, and when no anticipation, even in the most
indistinct shape, was entertained of an immediate
termination of the war. According to the letter,
the whole must have been concluded between the
beginning and the middle of that month ; but if
the capital had been occupied, and the King
made prisoner, in the interval, it could not be
known that the whole Empire had been sub-
jected, as the letter states. There is either an
error, therefore, in the date of the letter, or the
whole is a tissue of loose and crude rumours ;
and such is the conclusion, we believe, which
persons most conversant in India affairs have come
to on the subject ; whilst there are others who
look upon the letter itself as a forgery.
