" We are busily occupied in preparing an ex-

preaent the niost conflicting opinions as to the proba-
ble issue and duration of the war with the Burmese ; some con-
ceiving that it will be speedily and successfully terminated,
othera that it will be at least an obstinate, if not an uncertain
Eruggle• The conduct of the British Government in India
evinces, however, pretty plainly that they deem it no slight
'flits. Two King's regiments hail been ordered down from the
interior to the garrison of Fort William, in Calcutta ; and, in-
4epentlently of the troops already sent from the Presidency of
Bengal towards the eastern frontiers of the Comitany's territo-
ries, the attacking force was to be strengthened 3,000 men

not so easy to pronounce, as the character of the people differ'
greatly from that of the Ilinikos, and without a vast increase
of the civil and military establishment of the East India Com-
pany, no further conquests can be made with any hope of being
