not appear very probable, as he is still looked on with dis-

able to make himself Master of some inconsiderable Greek
forts (Navarifio and Calaniata), no confidence is placed 'by
the Divan in the result. of his. "expedition, and - it prthes
that he will be left to.'his fate. The accounts from the
Levant are by no means
.favourable to bins ; he has
already lost . some thousand men, battle,
partly
by- sickness, and 'hits troops are • 'very discontertted. The
Greeks have hitherto confined themselves to repelling all his
attacks, and keeping him blockaded up in the little district,
which he occupies. Illeantinie_they daily become stronger,
and prepare every thing for a great attack, which is riot to.be
attempted till there- is every probability of decisive success..

Inamtun has recalled his fleet, probably to he able to embark
when the danger becomes too great; but-this fleet endeavours
to avoid coming to any engagement, and that of the. Greeks

stronger. We may expect' togicarof important &wits in that

making an attempt with some chance.of success on the Greek
islands has passed away. Hydra is in the.besnstate of defence,
and seems now to have nothing to fear from .an attack. In.

from diens, if it should employ them in an expedition.-

We Os° recpive(l, last night, Milan Gazettes
and Ger Man Papers to the end of May. The former only speak
of the popularity which the Emperor FRANCIS is said to have
acqUired in Italy. The latter are little more than an echo.

Calcutta Papors to the 29th of January, and
private letters from Rangoon of the 12th have been received.
'Tie division of the army at Chittagong had begun the march,.
R and.a portion of it had arrived at am 00. Tliat at Rangoon
remained stationary, and according to the tenor of the informa-
tion in the private letters, vas not likely very soon to be on the
advance; but this circumstance is of less importance, as the
chief dependence is placed On the Chittagong army for the
operations against the Burmese.- We subjoin a few extracts :

","'`.R-A-NGOON, JAN:I2. file return of cannon taken in the
late affair is fallacious, rrniidiqoon having-.been put down as
cannon, while out of 250 Pieees reported to .have been taken,
200 were of the former deseription. It is a prOof of the deter-
mined character.of the Burmese, that though 'defeated, as they
certainly were, in a very gallant style, in. the: two last engage-
ments, yet; after the second defeat; they Stationed themselves at
Syrian Fort, within a mile and a half of this place. We were
compelled to drive them out the day before yesterday, which
was etreete'd with the loss of 30 men on oursi`de;Yand not one on
theirs. -The expedition will proceed up the river in a fortnight
or three weeks, and we arc prepared to expect imich.oppfwMtiOn,
though we have more fears of sickness than of the. enemy. It
is certain that, notwithstanding the confident tone of Sir A.
Campbell's dispatches, the Burmese will not allow us to call
an inch of ground our own but that on which we stand.' Their
plau is, when they perceive us advancing, to tire a volleY'and
then retire. Before, it was their custom to fight hand-to hand,
but experience has now taught them better, - •

CifiTTAGoNG, JAN. 12. L.-Our force is on the move :
the 62d Bengal Native Infadtry reached Ramoo on -the 10th,
and his Majesty's 44th on the same day ; the 26th Native In-
fantry marched on the 13th ; the 10th Madras Corps on the
13th by water, with his Majesty's 54th ; the light flank batta-
lion on the 14th, anti the remaining fOrcesirill follow after.

ey itrrnooNG, FED. 4—The enemy have evacuated the
Mungdoo stockade, and shoWn real prudence in so doing, for
the approach of our gun-boats and an intercepting force up the
river Mungdoo, left the body (about 1,000 strong) much ex-
posed. We shall, go on smoothly enough : we have men?
ships, guns, and gun-boats, adequate to the conquest. 1.111 is
therefore straight forward. The Burmese have no serious in-
tention of. resisting us. We may now conclude and negociatc
a peace on our own terms. We-have plenty of provisions. the
Ist Light Infantry had arrived on the 3d and in very strong
force and good condition. The two Grenadier Battalions we
look for in a few days. General 1114111illan was expected to ar-
rive on the 7th.—[The above is an Extract from the Calcutta
John Bull.)

The practice of Burning llindoo Widows came
under discussion last night in the House of Com-
mons, and the Legislature was invited to ptit it
down with the strong-arm of authority. All the
best feelings of our itatnre conspire to urge the
accompliShment of such a purpose, but notwith-
standing we must pause, for the subject pre-
sents a multitude of difficulties that raise in
the. mind great doubts- as to bow far any
penal enactment would restrain a practice
built upon the basis of public opinion,. and
strengthened and fortified
.by religious super.
stitions and relig;ous piejudices. We are in-
clined to believe that opposition would only in-
crease the evil, and cause the native population to
cling with more than common devotion to a.custom
their priests announce as. the noblest sacrifice
they can make, but which their Government
denounces. as murderous and wicked. They
would be .taught, by the former to hold as tyran.
nical and oppressive the interference of the Go-
