GENERAL ORDER,

BT THE RIGHT HObIOISABLE THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL
IN COUNCIL.

Fort William, A.pril 29, 1825.

A royal salute and three vollies of musquetry to be fired at
all the stations of the land forces in the East Indies, in honour
of the capture of the enemy's principal fortified position and
camp at Donabew, with all their artillery, stores, and the greater
part of their war boats, by the combined land and naval forces
serving in Ava, under the command of Brigadier-General Sir
Archibald Campbell, K.C.8., and Captain Alexander, C.B. on
the 2d instant.

By command of the Right Hon. the Governor-General in
Council. GEORGE SWINTON,
Sec. to the Government.

It was on the 25th March that Sir ARCHIBALD
CAMPBELL reached the vicinity of Donal)Pw, and
immediately dispatched Major Jackson with a
detachment to open a communication with Briga-
dier-General Cotton's division. This was effected,
but Major Jackson's return was intercepted. In
consequence General Cotton determined to force
a passage by water. The troops were therefore
embarked in boats, and the flotilla was headed
by the Powerful cutter, which the Diana steam-
vessel had taken in tow. They passed within
half range of a Burmese battery, by a shot from
which Lieutenant Symes was wounded. The
Burmese war-boats, twenty-one in number, then
sallied forth to attack our little squadron, when
the steam-vessel suddenly cast off the Powerful,
dashed in among the war-boats, and took or de-
stroyed thirteen of them. It was on the same day
that the enemy's attack with elephants occurred,
which Sir Archibald Campbell justly describes

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 182 i.

A Supplement to the London Gazette. of Tues-
day last was published at a very late hour this
morning, which precludes us from making
such full and copious extracts as we should
otherwise have wished. I,t contains the de-
tails
of the Capture of Donabew and Prome,
Part of which we had previously extracted
from the Calcutta Government Gazette, and printed
in another place. We subjoin, however, an
account of the capture of Prome by the forces
under :he command of Sir ALEXANDER CAMP•
DELL, which have been taken from dispatches re-
ceived at the India House, although not officially
transmitted. To-morrow will afford us an oppor-
tunity of giving further details of these brilliant
successes of the British arms.
Copy of a Letter from Brigadier-General Sir Archibald Camp-
bell, K.C.8., to George SiVinton, Esq., Secretary to the
Bengal Government, dated Head-quarters, Prorae, MI

April, 1825.
SIR—On the 24th instant, I arrived with the head of my
column in the neighbourhood of Shindam Mew, eight miles
from this place, and concerted measures with Captain
Alexander, commanding the flotilla, for attacking Prome on
the following day. I have, however, the honour to inform you,
that the enemy did not await our advance, but retired during
the night, apparently in the greatest confusion, and I yesterday
morning took possession of the place without firing a shot, the
enemy leaving in the different works about 100 pieces of artillery
and extensive granaries well filled with grain. The surround-
ing hills were generally fortified to their very summits, and
commanded our advance, presenting a position of a very for-
midable appearance, and in reality so naturally strong, that ten
thousand steady soldiers could have defended it against any at-
tack of ten times that force. The stockade itself is complete,
and great labour must have been bestoWed upon it ; indeed,
both in materials and workmanship, it surpasses any thing we
have hitherto seen in this country.
The town was on fire when we entered it, but whether in-
tentionally so or by accident I cannot ascertain. One whole
quarter has been completely reduced to ashes, and with it,
I regret to say, much grain has also perished. The inhabitants
are coming in in great numbers, and even Chiefs of towns and
villages are now suing for passes of protection. They appear
highly delighted in being relieved from a state of oppressive
tyranny, that either compelled them to take up arms in a hope-
less cause, or drove them into the jungles, with their families,
to lead a life of wretchedness and want.
I have, &c.
A. CAMPBELL, Brigadier-General.

The French Papers of Tuesday furnish the
few interesting extracts we have printed in a pre-
ceding column. The funeral of the late King of
BAVARIA took place on the 18th instant, and his
son, the present KING, who had been absent, was

expected at Munich on the following day. It
seems that purifications are to go on at Madrid,
but under a modified system, as the decree
for their suppression was not to be published
on the KING'S birth-day. The decree of am-
nesty has been also delayed. The Consultative
Junta has appointed a committee of five to exa-
mine into and report the basis upon which these
decrees should be founded.

Rio Papers, to the 20th of August inclusive,
received this morning, contain an account of the
extraordinary proceeding on the part of a Go-
vernor of a Province of Brazil, in accepting, on
behalf of the EMPEROR, the submission of the
Governor of the Spanish Province of Chiquitos,
and uniting it to the Brazilian Empire. It ap-
pears that the Spanish Governor had been called
upon by the Peruvian troops, who had taken pos-
session of the capital, to surrender, which he refus-
ed to do, and sought the alliance of the neighbour-
ing frontier province of Brazil, in order to enable
himself to hold out against the attacks of the Li-
beral forces. Brazilian troops were ordered to
march to the assistance of Santa Cruz, without
the sanction of the Government at Rio. We
are gratified, however, to be able to state, that
no sooner was this event known to the EMPEROR,
than orders were dispatched for the evacuation
of Chiquitos, with as little delay and as little
mischief to the inhabitants as possible. We
trust this affair will not be productive of any fur-
ther unpleasant consequences.

No accounts are given in these Papers of the
mission of Sir CnARLES STUART, and thus its real
object is still unknown. The Baron de SANTO
A MARO, Counsellor of State, and the Ministers
for Foreign Affairs and Marine, have been ap-
pointed to confer with Sir CHARLES on the im-
portant negotiations now pending. The follow-
ing are extracts :

RIO DE JANEIRO.
(From the Diario Flumeriense, July 29.)

His Majesty the Emperor has just appointed the Most Illus-
trious Francisco Villela Barboza, his Councillor of State, Mi-
nister of the Marine; Barao de Santo Amaro, his Councillor
of State, conjointly with his Excellency the Minister for Fo_
reign Affairs, to confer and treat with Sir Charles Stuart, on
the important negociations now pending.
Aug. 2.—On Saturday, the 31st, there was a 'grand horse
race in the meadow of Botafoga, at which their Imperial Ma-
jesties were pleased to be present. The plain presented an
interesting sight, from the number of spectators on horseback,
in carriages, and in boats. Among the great number of per-
sons of distinction were, Sir Charles Stuart,the Conde el Palma,
Minister for Foreign Affairs, and many others. This amuse-
ment, which is new among us, may prove useful, if our coun-
trymen, while interesting themselves in it, like the English,
pay more attention to the breed of horses than they have hitherto
done.

AUG. 3.—This being the birth-day of her Imperial Highness
the Princess Francisca, was observed at Court and in the city
with the usual ceremonies.
AUGUST 6.—(Orricrar..)
His Majesty has received the Dispatch of the Governor of
Matto Grosso, of April 15, accompanied by various documents,
from which, it appears that the Independent troops of Peru
having taken possession of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, and called
upon Don D. Sebastian Ramos, Governor of the Province of
Chequitos, faithful to the King of Spain, to join the standard
of the Liberals, he refused to do so ; and preferred seeking the
protection of the Imperial arms, that with this view he sent his
Aid-de-camp, D. Jose Maria de Velasco, to the Governor of
Matto Grosso, to whom he proposed to unite the province of
Chequitos with the Empire of Brazil, a proposal which the
Governor of Matto Grosso, by the advice of the Provincial
authorities, accepted. Though the Governor perhaps thought
by this means better to provide for the defence of the capital
of Matto Grosso, and actuated perhaps by an indiscreet zeal,
thought to do a service to his Majesty and to the empire by the
acquisition of an adjacent territory, in order to support, by this
means,the exertions of the Royalists in America; yet, it should
have occurred to the Provincial Government, the particular in-
terest of a nation is not a sufficient or honourable reason for
aggrandizing itself at the expence of the fidelity of people,
who are led to make such a sacrifice only by calamities,
which, however serious, are transitory ; and as, besides, the
Government is quite incompetent to make a more practical
decision in the questions which divide the Liberals and the
Royalists in Spanish America, and should therefore not have
so resolved on such measures. His Majesty the Emperor com-
mands the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs to signify his
surprise to the Government at the resolution which it took, not
only to accept the union of the province of Chequitos, but to
make the Brazilian troops pass the frontier of the Empire to
protect it; and the more so, as if his Majesty bad been pre-
viously consulted, as he ought to have been, he never would
have given his consent to this step, as being contrary to the
generous and liberal sentiments which guide the policy of his
Cabinet, and to his intention of not interfering in the present
contest between the inhabitants of Spanish America and the
Mother Country, as is conformable to the public law of civi-
lised nations.
LUIZ JOSE DE CARVALHOE MELHO.
Palace of Rio de Janeiro, 6th August, 1825.
AUGUST 20.—We have received the following important ar-
ticle from Matto Grosso :
" The Government of Chequitos having proposed a conven-
tion for the temporary union of that Province with the Empire
of 13azil, and the Provisional Government not waiting for the
meeting of its President and other Deputies,necessary to the le-
gality of its deliberations, arbitrarily involved itself in matters
beyond the limits of its powers; and, violating the laws of the
Empire, the law of nations, and the general policy of civilized
nations, committed a great absurdity in sending forces to the
Provinces to be united. This Government, therefore, being
consolidated in its legal plenitude, desiring to repair the effect
of this irregular conduct, which might lead to an un-
just war, and desiring to give to its neighbours a
proof of the sentiments which animate it, and the neutrality so
repeatedly recommended by its August Sovereign, declares
null and of none effect, from this moment, all the conventions
made between this Government and that of the Chequitos, as
invalid and contrary to our Constitution. It orders, thereore,
the illustrious Deputy, commander of the troops, Capt. Manuel
Vellezo Ribeiro et Vasconcellos, that, marching with all celerity
to the point which in his prudence he shall choose, he shall
dispatch the necessary orders fior the evacuation of the above-
mentioned province, taking the strictest measures that the
detachment shall in its retreat observe the most strict discipline,
and the most scrupulous disinterestedness.

DECREE.
Having ascertained that the individuals to whom I granted
permission to form in London Mining Companies, in the terms
which they had laid before me, forgetting that I lad placed in

pire ; and being desirous to prevent the repetition of such
abuses, and to provide against other cases that may occur con-
trary to my dignity, and that of the empire, I hereby order and

LETTER WRITTEN FROM ROME TO THE ARCIIIIISIIOP

OF MECHLIN.

I Mr Lonn—l find it my duty to give you an account of the
examination made by order of the Holy Father of the two de-
crees of the Belgium Government, of the 14th June last, and I
have beard with satisfaction that all the heads of the dioceses
have united with the Archbishop of Mechlin in making a pro-
testation against these decrees, and that M. Chamberlane has
followed the same course with the clergy of Holland. The
Sovereign Pontiff' has, on his part, ordered a strong representa-
tion to be made to the Government of the King of the Nether-
lands, in a note put into the hands of M. Reinhold, Envoy at
the Court of Rome. His Holiness will judge hereafter, accord-
ing to circumstances, what is proper to do; in the mean time
he is of opinion, that all the'Ordinarics ought to act with one
common accord, and remain quite passive, should the Belgian
Government proceed to the execution of its orders. His Holi-
ness, whose heart has been filled by the most lively regret by
these two decrees, is convinced that the general protestation
will be worthy of the heads of the dioceses from whom it ema-
nates, and that it will be modelled on that made by the Ordi-
naries of Belgium in 1787, against the general seminary erected
by the Emperor Joseph at Louvain, and that they will not
have lost sight of the declaration made by the King of the
Netherlands in July, 1815, in virtue of which he guaranteed
the Catholic religion, its dignity anti security.
( By order.) (Signed) " R. MASIO."
REPLY TO THE GOVERNOR OF ANTWERP BY THE ARCH-
BISTIOP OF ➢ECHLIN, FROM ?LIS COUNTRY SEAT OF

lIOSOF, NEAR LIEGE, SEPT. 16, 1825.
sin—ln reply to the letter which your Excellency ad-
dressed to me on the 10th of this month, and which I have
just received here, I. am obliged to declare that the suppression
of my Archiepiscopal College at Mechlin, being in direct op-
position to the interests of our holy religion, with the orders of
the Council of Trent, relative to the formation of a virtuous,
regular, and orthodox college, with the rights belonging to the
episcopacy of divine right, with the free exercise of the Catho-
lic religion, and the protection guaranteed to it by the funda-
mental law which I have sworn to maintain, anti also by the
second article of the treaty which is its basis; and, finally,
with scvnul declarations and promises made to us by his Ma-
jesty himself, I cannot in any case interfere with this suppres-
sion. " F. 111. Archbishop of MECHLIN."

Gibraltar Chronicles were yesterday received
to the 7th instant. The only intelligence which
they convey is, that in order to avert the scarcity
and other calamities with which Majorca was
threatened in consequence of the late scanty har-
vest, the Spanish Government had permitted the
importation into that island of 187,000 fanegas of
foreign wheat, and 31,250 of pulse in national
bottoms, upon payment of a duty of 10 rs. vellon
per fanega.
Mr. TnomesoN, the Gentleman who was sent

public of Guatemala, for the purpose of examin-
ing the condition of that country, and making a
report thereon to the British Government, has
arrived from Guatemala in London.

BATTLE OF TRAFALGAIt.--Olt the 21st inst.
the Anniversary of this memorable triumph of
the British Arms, the Olf►cers of his Majesty's
Navy in Liverpool and the neighbourhood par-
took of a grand dinner at the Neptune Hotel,
Clayton-square, in honour of this glorious Vic-
tory and of the immortal Hero under whom it

was achieved. Captain CoLoulur, R.N., was
President on this patriotic occasion ; Vice-Presi-
dent Captain PRYSE, it. N, On the President's
right hand sat Admiral Munn/kr, and on the left
ELIAs A ItNAun, Esq., Collector of his Majesty's
Customs at the Port of Liverpool. Many loyal
and constitutional speeches were-made, and toasts
of the same description given, and the day
passed off with all that festivity which might be
expected from the heroic defenders of the coun-
try, who feel a glowing recollection of its former
triumphs, and are ready to engage in any enter-
prize that may tend to its interest and glory.
We have perused with much sympathy an ad-
dress to the British public, by Senor Juan
Romero Alpuente, who has lately reached
England from the persecutions of his own
country. This Learned Lawyer and excellent
man, is now seventy years of age, and has been
40 years a Judge. Being elected a member of
the Cadiz Cortes, his political conduct was as
much distinguished for moderation as for a
strenuous support of popular rights. Hence,
however, has sprung - a persecution, from
which, after suffering confiscation and impri-
sonment, he has just been able to escape to this
country. M. Romero Alpuente, having arrived
too late to be put upon the list of Spanish
exiles receiving relief from Government, has an-
nounced his intention of publishing by subscrip-
tion, a work on ' the Causes of the Downfall of
the Spanish Constitution." The names of sub-
scribers will be received at the " Office of Fo-
reigners in Distress"—(Tunes.)

ing Chronicle, for a libel on Mr. Martin of Cal-

dell, the Publisher of Blackwood's Magazine.
House; LABin, which is generally considered a
delicacy and rarity at Christmas, has, owing- to
the mildness of the season, already made its ap-
pearance in some of the butchers' shops, at the
moderate price of 10 to 15s. a quarter, or about
2s. a pound.

Surgeon for this parish commenced yesterday. At the close of

A Chinese ship, navigated by Chinese seamen,
has recently arrived at Antwerp, and crowds of curious per-
sons from all parts of the Netherlands daily Hock on board to
admire the dexterity with which these eaters of rice manage
their chop-sticks.
To prevent the smoking of a lamp, suak the
wick in strong vinegar, and dry it well before it
is used ; it will burn sweet and pleasant.
