for their indefatigable exertions in carrying on the duties of the
service occasionally under every disadvantage; and I also beg
leave to bring to the notice of the Supreme Government the
name of Lieutenant-Colonel Snow, Deputy Adjutant General
to the Madras division, whose ability, zeal, and activity I have
often had occasion to remark. _ _

I cannot conclude without again adverting to the high feeling
which animates every corps and every soldier under my corn.

fatigue, marching over a country almost wholly under water,
merits every praise, and their intrepidity and valQur, whenever
the enemy can -be found, cannot be sufficiently extolled.

By command of the Governor-General in Council,

GEORGE SWINTOg, Secretary to Government.
In addition to what we gave yesterday from Rangoon, and
the official dispatches to,day, we havi'td cominutileate the'fact
of another successful attack on stockades, not before mentioned,
either by ourselves or in the Government Gazette. Our letters
state that the day before the Alligator sailed, intelligence was
brno.ths that two thousand men had assembled in neighbouring
stockades. A brigade was dispatched to see what they were
shout. The enemy fled at the approach of our troops, and
three stockades were on that day taken and destroyed without
firing a musket. The same letters speak in animated terms of
the spirit and gallantry of the troops.
We have not heard any further particulars, excepting that it,
was rumoured at Rangoon that. the Bengal Division of the army
would be removed to Uhittagong, leaving Rangoon to the care
of the Madras force. An attack on Pegu was also talked of.

(rtventru PARTICULARS FROM TILE SUPPLEMENT TO
THE BOMBAY COURIER OF Tile 21ST AUGUST.)
INTELLIGENCE FROM RANGOON.
We are happy in being able to lay the following particulars
before our readers :—We before mentioned that the position oe.
cupled by our troops in advance was very strong; notwithstand-
ing this, on the Ist inst. about noon, the enemy, who had bean
actually engaged in concentrating his force fur many days ad-
vanced in great numbers, directly in front, shouting and cheer.
iug. Our men were kept quiet and steady till they reached a
ridge of a copse of wood close to our advanced sentries. At this
spot they had about tWO thou sand nwn h aving lett about the &One
number a short distance in the rear Ey way of reserve ; and it was
believed that they had a much larger force in the back ground,
When they got into the copse they opened a fire of musketry
and jingala. As it was now evident they intended an attack
on the Sepoy lines between our strongly advanced posts and the
town, fifty Sepoys were detached to feel their intentions. The
enemy attacked then ; but on the Sepoys advancing to the
charge, the whole two thousand went the right shout and tied,
chased by the Sewn% who killed and wounded about fifty of
them without the smallest casualty on our part. From what
could be learnt they had not more than 125 muskets and 26 jin-
gals on swivels among the whole two thousand. The remainder
were armed with spears, swords, arid some even with sticks.—
To add to their mishap, it so chanced that 200 of the 13th Light
Infantry, and 200 of his Majesty's 38th regiment.under Majors
Frith anti Rennie t had that morning been out on different roads
to reconnoitre, and fell in with the unfortunate fugitives in their
retreat. We have not heard what loss the enemy sustained
from these meetings.
The following anecdote is mentioned :—" A Lance Corporal
of the 13th Light Infantry, who was employed iu a boat in a
small creek, was much annoyed by the enemy. lie with two of
his comrades prepared an ambush. In a short time a boat full
of the enemy came down. The trio tired when they cunt,
killed tao, and wounded one. The remainder jumped over-
board and swam away, with theexception of two who clung to
the boat with the wounded man. The corporal having no other
means of getting at them, lift Warms and swam to the boat,
when he made them girt in and
rose him to the shore. Ile
afterwards brought all" of them in as prisoners," On the oth
inst. 100 men from each of the European regiments were tie- 1
niched in two parties, viz. those from the 13th Light Infantry, !
41st, and Ms./mot European regiment, went to the right, those
from the posh and 119th to the left. The object was to recon.
Mitre Mr party of the enemy said to be at work in a very
thick wood about a mile from our posts. Both parties in going
passe la stockade without seeing it; one of them about lOU
,
eartitfrom it, the other at a shorter distance. The party to the
refit, in returning home, came suddenly upon it, anti were for
short time exposed to a heavy fire from it, while the scaling
ladders were being brought up by the poineers. On their arri.
vat, the detachments of the 13th, and the Madras European
regiment instantly stormed anti carried the place. Captain
ltarrutt, who commanded the detachments of the 13th, we
regret to say, was wounded in the arm, which had since been
amputated. Several men were also wounded, some with bricks
and stones ; none killed. The enemy, the instant our men
mounted the ladders, Pied over the other side of the stockade
and escaped.
On the tith, a large force under Brigadiers 111'Bean and
M'Creagh, consistin of 250 men front each European regi-
ment anti about 3tlo g_ Native Infantry, were sent to attack three
ated
l
large stockades about four miles up the river. On arriving at
the spot the advance, under Brigadier 11Pereagh, was h
and formed in close columns of regiments a; they arrived....
After reconnoitering the position, lien. bil‘Bean ordered 600
awn of his Alajexty a 13th Light Infantry and 33th regiment
under Major Sale of the former regiment, supported by 200
Native Infantry, to escalade the nearest stockade. The men
moved ofrwith their arms Wang
across there shoulders, and ad.
vaned to the place without Ming a skot. The poineers be-
haved admirably, placing the ladders with much coolness and
prevision. The troops mounted very steadily—took the stock-
ade, and put every man to the sword, without a single man
being wounded un our Bide ; about 200 of the enemy were
killed here. The detachments of the 13th and 38th then re.
