We were enabled, in the latter part of our yesterday's
impression, to lay before our Readers the Extract of
letter from Captain CHADS, of His Majesty's Ship

Alligator, dated at Melloun, on the 20th January
last, giving an account of the renewal of hostilities
against the Burmese, in consequence of the expira-
tion of the time granted for the ratification of the
Treaty of Peace by the Court of Ava, and the symp-
toms of treachery manifested on the part of the
Burman Chiefs. We reprint this letter in another
Part of our paper, and are enabled to add from other
sources, a few additional circumstances. It appears that
Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, whose Head Quarters
were in advance of Prome, had been first induced to
Rtlspect treacherous intentions on the part of the
Burmese, by observing that subsequently to the signa-
ture of the preliminary treaty, an augmentation of the
force, 'stationed on the opposite bank of the river, had
taken place, and that the enemy was busily employed
in forming new stockades. Ile, therefore kept his
troops together and waited the termination of the
Period fixed on for the ratification of the treaty, viz.
the 18th of January.' That day passed over without
411 communication. Sir ARCHIBALD, therefore, felt
Convinced of the treachery of the Burmese, and of the
necessity of striking at once a decisive blow, in order
to teach them that he was not to be trifled with.
Raving completed all his preparations, he passed the
rivet on the '2oth, and stormed the enemy's cain
With such signal success, that the Burmese fled in all
directions, leaving their military stores, the whole
materiel of the camp, and some money, in the posses-
sion of the British.
It is not stated what the intentions of Sir ARCHI-
BALD , CAMPBELL were with respect to further
inilitary operations in consequence of the breaking off
of the treaty, but it was supposed he would continue
to occupy the position he then held, until some infor-
mation could be obtained of the future plans of the
"my. He had issued, it is said, a proclamation, in
Which those provinces ceded, or placed under the pro-
tection of Great Britain by, the treaty, were called
4pon to declare themselves independent of the King
t)t. Ava, and promising them the support of Great
Britain in maintaining them as separate states. The
design of making Rangoon a free port, another stipu-
lation of the treaty, it is further stated, will be carried
into effect under the same guarantee.
The decisive conduct of the British Commander of
the forces, and the signal victory which was at once
gained over his perfidious enemy, will, we hope, strike
terror again into the Councils of the Empire, and lead
to the instant completion of the former treaty.
At the same time we cannot view without alarm,
this necessary renewal of hostilities, as our fears pre-
vail over our hopes; and we are apprehensive that
unless the immediate effects of the, victory gained by
°or troops, should be the fulfilment of the former
treaty by the Burmese, a further very large expendi-
ture in life and treasure will be required, before such
terms can be dictated as will, after thiS proof of. the
treachery of the enemy, be absolutely necessary for the
security of our own dominions.

The Paris Papers of Saturday, and the Dade of
Sunday morning, reached us last night.
It is stated on the authority of a letter from Frank-
fort, that the Emperor NICHOLAS is expected to visit
in July, the two great Naval Establishments at Sebas-
topol and Cronstadt, where the fleets of the Black Sea
and Baltic are stationed. The writer of this article
must certainly have 'been ignorant of the geographical
situation of these places, the distance between which
renders a visit from the Emperor in the same month,
not very probable, •
The Etoile states, that General ROCUF has ad-
dressed to the Greek Committee a curious document,
(which will be found among our extracts from the
French Papers, in another column), being a Resolu-
tion of the Eighth National Assembly at Epidaurus,
requesting the British Ambassador. at Constantinople,
to treat for. Peace between the Porte and the. Greek
Nation, on certain conditions therein expressed. These
conditions would require that no Turk should remain
1n Greece, that the fortresses now held should, be given
and that the Greeks should have a Military and
Marine force, retaining their flag and coining money,
but paying tribute annually, or in an immediate pay.
wn. :Frinee DrmsTßlus YPSILANTI has pro-
tested against - this procteding of the Assembly,as
‘ iti4l4-lelfenic, and wholly unworthy of a
" nation which roay.have been conquered several times,
" but which hat never tteated with its tyrants."
The high feeling ,of this Grecian Chieftain,, would
do well to submit to Peace for. his Country, on the

conditions on which it is proposed to treat for it, but
we fear that they are such as to preclude a hope of
their being acceded to by the ambitious Government
of the Porte, unless, indeed, the Powers of Europe
should jointly insist upon an arrangement of that
description. The following is the latest price of the
Funds.

We have received this morning the Allgeincine
Zeitung of the 13th instant.
It contains a long article from Frankfort, Under date
of the 9th June, speculating on the probabilities of a
rise in the value of French, Austrian, and Darmstadt
Securities. The arrival of M. SoLomoig ROTHS-
CHILD from Vienna, is looked for with some eager-
nesS. It is said that he will remain at Frankfort for
some time before he proceeds to this Country, to be
present at the marriage of his eldest son with the
daughter of Mr. N. M. ROTHSCHILD of London.

Papers have been received from Sincapore of the 19th of Jan.,
and from Calcutta of the 30th Jan. The former under the head
of Manilla, bring accounts to the 10th Jan. The new Governor,
Don MARIANA RECA FORT, had refused the Chinese presents, in
consequence of a resolution he had made to refuse all presents.
Several splendid entertainments had been given at the Governor's
house, and numerous processions of the people, in token of affec-
tion to the Government. On some of these occasions their loyalty
was carried to an excess absurd and despicable. A portrait of
FERDINAND of SPAIN was paraded with great pomp, and the
people called upon to salute it.
The mob easily led, assembled in multitudes, threw themselves
on the ground and worshipped the image of the Spanish legitimate.
What an example does this exhibit in a country which has been
governed by Europeans for upwards of two centuries. The Cal-
cutta papers contain the official accounts of the capture of Bhurt-
pore, and were contemplating the utmost tranquillity in India.—
From the above circumstance and the treaty of peace which had
been signed with the Burmese, we already know that the latter
Power had refused the ratification even on the morning of the day
this was fixed to to be done by the Court of Ava, and the hostili-
ties which immediately followed.

The Hamburgh Correspondent, of the 17th inst.,
has likewise reached us this forenoon, from which we
make the following extracts :—lt will be observed by
the accounts from Cracow that great damage has been
done on the banks of the Vistula by heavy rains, in
consequence of which corn has risen considerably.

It/Wax, JUNE 13.

Prince Charles, his Majesty's son, is gone to St. Petersburgh
as Ambassador Extraordinary, to be present at the Coronation
of the Emperor Nicholas. In his suite is Major-General Count
Von Nostiz, formerly Aid-de-Camp to Prince Blucher,' with
whom be shared the imminent danger in the battle of. Ligny,
when the Field Marshal fell under his horse.

Large supplies of wool have already arrived for the approaching
fair. The owners expect better prices than at Leipsic, because
our government has assigned 3 millions of dollars to be lent on
wool not sold, so that the landholders will not be obliged to sell at
a great loss..

WARSAW, JUNG 7.

For some days past we have had very hot weather, the thermo-
meter tieing at 20. to 23. Reaumur. Prince Eugene, of Wurtem-
burg, has left us again, and continued his journey to Germany.

CRACOW, JUNI 3.

The continued rains have done much damage, and, in particti-
laroill the farms on the Vistula are quite ruined ; 11() that it will
be years before they can recover. Corn has risen COnSiderably."

It is stated in private letters, which reached town yesterday,
from Cape Cnast•Castle, of the 14th and hith April, that the
King of Ashantee has again taken the field, and, ill a desperate
battle, defeated the Ackiws, our faithful allies. Commerce is re-
presented as being at a stand.

The Protector brig has arrived from Carthagena, whence she
sailed on the 27th April, and has brought letters from Bogota to
the 29th March. They are said not to contain any intelligence of
the slightest importance. The Protector was originally pur-
chased in this country, for the service of the Colombian Govern-
ment, and fitted out as an armed vessel. Her return, therefore,
has created some surprise, as it is not clearly ascertained whether
she has been rejected by the Colombians, or despatched on some
affair of great interest, which is kept cont'ealed. The former is
the more general supposition, as it is known that other vessels pur-
chased in Europe have also been rejected.

Of all the enterprising new candidates for the
honour of a seat in the House of Commons, we think
WILLIAM COBBETT is the most hopeful. He rises
far above them allin fortitude, consistency, and in-
veterate determination, to become' one of the honour-
able of the land. Had Mr. SUMNER but been blessed
with a tithe of Mr. COBBETT'S hardihood, he would
not now have to regret that a rival bad been palmed
on the county of Surrey. But Mr. StimNER, good
easy man, took the advice of his friends, and so lost
his election ; while Mr. COBBETT, on the other hand
abuses his friencli, as the best way of securing his
own. The good people of Preston are lost in admi-
ration, at the varied feats of eccentricity daily played
oil' by the " great reformer." Indeed, so much has
his fame spread in these parts (for Mr. C. knows
too well that a prophet has no fame at his own turn-
pike), that the Duke of , MONTE BELLO has gone
to see this mountebank performing on the hustings.
But, in order to see things as they are, not as they
seem, that illustrious stranger should have peeped be-
hind the scenes, and beheld the mighty Ego, after
having denied his own speeches of yesterday, quarrel-
ling with his best friend in Preston, and his only hope
in London, for not reporting his speeches as the ra-
dical meant them, not as he spoke them. But the
Reporter of the Morning Herald acted too long as
his man " Friday," and COBBETT paid him off
like all his other admirers, by ordering din out of the
room as a " false" reporter. Here, we think Mr.
CoBBETT is right for once, for any gentleman who
reports his speeches must of necessity give a false re-
port.
We cannot help awarding due praise to the
Preston candidate for this last proof of his thisparing
impartiality, as many bets were pending in the sporting
world, that although CQBBETT had set
out from
don with two canvassing Lon-
friends he could not number
one on his 1' v.
a
- is---not to the " echoes of ST.
STEPHEN's," but the to the congratulations of
Ken-
sington turnpikemen who will
give him a frank re-
ception for the first time in his life. But, though
CoBBETT is a great man hi his own way, he is a dan-
gerous original to copy--.and those who would sit in
Parliament had better not take Preston in their road,
for it may lead, as Mr. ConBETT now suspects, to
Coventry. Some peTte gravOy ask, what we
Mr. COBBETT do in rialialnent—what does he want
there ?" The answer is so plain that we wonder men
could ask such questions. ,Why —he

and, like some jealous Turk,

Permit no rival near his Throne.

rest of his life to " order."

The 'election for the county of Oxfotod has termi-
nated yesterday, by the resignation of Mr. STRATToN.
of a stir in. Corn are The expectationsat an end,
by Mr. THEMAYNE shrinking from the expences of a
contested county election.
In Bedford, Colonel MAcQuEEN has secured his
return, if we may judge by his immense majority, and
the temper of the electors.
The Election for the County of Middlesex took
place this day at Brentford. Three processions passed
along the Strand this morning to the scene of action.
The LORD MA ioR, though much pressed, has re
fused to stand for the honour of representing Middle-
sex in Parliament.' It was reported that Mr. MELLtsx
would try his luck, but he knows the value of a good
memory, and declines.
Mr. ELLICE has also some
other fish to fry, and stays at Coventry.—No new
Candidate presented lihnself, and the old Members,
Messrs. BYNG and WHITBREAD, were both returned.

We understand that Mr. GOULRURN has been so far compen-
sated for his disappointment at Cambridge, as to have received
an offer from the Archbishop, and other persons of influence in
Armagh, to be returned for that city, free of all expense whatever.

A Meeting of Ship Owners has this day been held
in the City, the result of which has been the appointment
of a Committee, consisting of fifteen practical Ship Owners to
oppose the report for the classification of shipping, and the
interference in private property; for this purpose communication
will be held with all the Outports in the•Kingdem.

MIDDLESEX ELECTION—(rnis DAY.)

The Election for Metnbers for the County of Middlesex took
place this day at Brentforti. About half-past ten -o'clock the
Sheriff, and the Candidate, accompanied by a number of
their friends, appeared on the 'hustings, and were loudly cheered.
The writ having been read, and the oath administered to the
Sheriff, Lord William Russell came forwai 1, and in a short
speech, eulogising the page:a conduct of Mr. iirog, propor.cd.
that Gentleman as a tit and propeipe'rion to represent the Comity
of s.liddlesex in Parliament.—(Lotf cheers.)
Mr. TRAPS UO briefly seconded the motion.
Mr. RtniiY COCKBURN in rising to propose eft.. Whitbread
said, that he never gave a vote except for the interest of the pill-
ple. In looking round hiin he could find no pet son ao proper to
represent time electors of Middlesex es: the tried advocate for. re-
form—he therefore strongly recommended Mr. Whitbread as a fit
and proper person.—(Loud applattee).
Mr. 1108110OVE said that he had been requested, (end he deem-
ed it a high honour) to second the nomination of Mr. 'Whitbread.
He felt happy in seeing those friends rally round him, wits had
heretofore supported the banners of freedom. The electors
of Middlesex. had atchieved a glorious triumph, in return-
ing Mr. Whitbread in the year 1820, at the same time
that those of Westminster had returned him .(Mr..Hobliouse)......
It was a strong proof of his having thine his duty, that they were
now unanimous in his support; it was not the man, of whatever
family distinction"; but the great cause of Reform, that of
which Mr. Whitbread was a strenuous advocate, that rendered
him the choice of their adoption. He could bear testimony
to the exertions of Mr. Whitbread in Parliament; he sat by his
side when he voted fur public liberty, and never saw him shrink
from his duty. They had added another instance to the triumphs
obtained in Westminster and Southwark, and he would say lastly,
Surrey,—(Loud applause)—in terminating this contest by
a bloodless victory.—(Cheers.)—To send two Members to
Parliament of different political principles was doing less than
nothing—it was like two horses pulling different ways.-..one
member undoing what the other did. They sent two members
who were equally attentive to the interests of the electors, without
caring-what their political sentiments were. He was happy to are
that there was no oppositioh'on the present occasion ; hut he
hoped if there should he, that the electors would be found to do
their duty as they had heretofore.—(Loud applause.)
Mr. BYNG returned thanks for the honour they bad done him.
The only thing that bore him up tv...e, that if his conduct had not
been such as it ought, it had at least been what he could
do.—(Great applause.)—As Mr. Hohhouse bad remarked, he
never observed any distinction towards any of his Electors. He
had paid the greatest attention to the charitable Institutions with
which this country abounded. On all questions he attended at
his post, and on no occasion was he absent when any question of
reform or retrenchment was brought forward.—(Loud applause.)
—He hid done his endeavours in alleviating the burdens of the
people, and was happy to perceive that his conduct had met their
approbation.—(Cheers. )_'.though in what was called the opposi-
tion, still be was a firm supporter of the Constitution, as handed
down by our ancestors. He regretted much, that the country
was not. in that state of prosperity in which it ought to be.
Ile conceived that he represented the agricultural, the shipping,
the manufacturing, and commercial interests, and they might rest
assured that on no occasion where these were concerned, would
was as fit'm in the cause of the people, as when they had chosen
he neglect them. His political sentiments were the same, anti he
him for their representative, thirty-six years ago.—(Loud cheers.)
tilt. WHITBRIAD said that he WAS overpowered with gratitude,
that he felt himself inadequate
to convey his sentiments on this oc-
casion. He appeared before them now in a different manner from
what he did when they had first elected him, for they hail then
nothing but hid promise;
but now they had experience of him,
and he trusted that they had. found hint on no occasion to shrink
front the professions which he had then made. The state of the
political atmosphere was different now from what it was then,
though Ministers were apparently popular, still they were doing
all they could to keep their places. Ile would instance the attempt
which had been lately made to impose a tax of 50001. a year on
the people
without the h,,,st necessity for so doing.., He had sup-
ported Ministers in the free trade, He felt pleasure in
standing before the electors this day to,account for his conduct.—
Though he could lay no claim to talent, still be hoped he had a
sufficient share of common sense. to. enable hint to be useful
to his Constittienta....—(Great applause,)---When in Parham"'
he thought . not
,of his own iaterests, but of the duty which
he, owed to them. They did ,not send him to put money
into his ownTocket, but- to take Pima their"e.—(Laughter.}—
