the following is an extract The brigantiao, Cora' which
sailed from this port on • the 111th of Dec:dither, for ltio
Hache and the Indian coast, has been wrecked off the latter
place, Captain and crew saved. By the 13tiatarti brig of 'war,
Captain Sandom, which arrived on MOnday evening, we learn:
that on the 31st of January, . off -Double,headed Shot4Keys,
she discovered a brig having a signal of distress flying;
boat was sent to her with the surgeon, with directions to steer
into the Havannah, as the Bustard would proceed after as
soon as she saw the vessels under her protection safe through
the Gulf. Oa the 2d ult. the Bustard again fell in with the
brig, Which proved to be the General Phipps, not fifteen days
from this port to London; Captain Kennedy and two of his
crew had died, and the brig was in a very leaky. state, both
pumps going, and yet could .not be kept free. Dent. Judor,
with a boats crew, went on board, and took her into tlie Haven.

DeATII OP GENE;; AL M'DouGAL.—The follow.

ing extract of a letter, dated Kedgeree, Dec. 7, 1825, contains
some details of the action alluded to in our paper of yesterday,
which took place with the Burmese immediately on the break-
ing of the armistice, and in which Brig.-General Al'Doust.at
unfortunately fell :—" The ship Helen, which left Rangoon
on the 23d of November, brings dispattires from Sir A.
Campbell, of the '2oth, detailing an unsuccessful attack by
the advanced guard, consisting of four regiments of Madras
sepoys, under the orders of Brigadier 111‘Dougal, of the
Madras European Regiment. It appears Sir A. Campbell was
led to suppose there was a party of about 3,000 Burmese on the
road he proposed to march, which the advanced guard was sent
to disperse; but after advancing about 20 miles on the road
to Ave, they were on a sudden surprised by the appearance ofa
stockade, which they attacked, but were driven back in
some confusion, when six hundred Burman horsemen .charged
them. Our troops formed into a, square, as soon as their
scattered state , would allow, but not before they lost the
Brigadier and one Lieutenant killed, and many wound-
ed, 14 officers wounded, and 300. sepoys, trilled, and many
wounded, whose arms fell into the hands of the enemy. Im-
mediately our troops joined Sir A. Campbell, he prepared to
march with his whole force, when it was expected a decisive
battle would take place. The Burmese were in
great force in
every direction round Prome, not at all intimidate by Sir A.
'Campbell% movements. It appears the Burmese hold the
sepoy force in great contempt.”
