reporting. the assaalt and captive of the fbrtifiettqweeir of Mennen,
with a large quantity of guns, Military atones, grain, and war-

Copy of a letter from'Lieutenant-Colonel Pepper to the Deputy
' Adjutant-General of the forces, dated Camp, Shoegheen, 14th
! January, 1826.
Srs—Adverting to my letter of the 4th instant, notifying my
intention of sending the 3d regiment, light infantry, under Lieut.
dolonel Conry, for the reduction of Zittaun, a stockade on the
eastern bank of a river of that name, and midway between
glmegheen and Martaban,- for the purpose of opening the corn- •
iOunication hetvveeu any detachment and the lower provinces, I
foive now the honoer to acquaint you, for the information of the
Commander of the Forces, that Lieutenant-Colonel Conry's party
left on the 6th instant, by water ; on its arrival at Iffeekow,
,Where an of party had been posted, to !motet our supplies
and the inhabitants of 'that place, who had contributed so greatly
td our assistance, the Lieutenant-Colonel
,received a report front
Lieutenant Hell; commanding there, that he had been attached
*ice by four or five hundred men, belonging to' Oitainah (the
Ex-Rajah of: Martaban), sent from Zittaun, whom he succeeded
`its repulsing. - This induced Lieutenant-Colonel Conry to lose no
tine in proceeding. On the morning of the 7th instant he
reached the place about noon, and instantly made his arrange-
ments for the attack, which commenced at two &deck.,
It is with feelings of deep regret I am obliged to
'report its
complete failure, with the loss of Lieut.-Colonel Conry and Limit.
Adams 3d Regiment 44 killed; Lieut. and, Adjutant Harvey,
severely; and Lieut. Vower, slightly wounded ; 11 native officer
and 9 privates killed ; one bugler and 18 rank and file wounded.
l'lie party returned to Meekow the sante night. On the after-
awl of the Bth
.1 .received this report, and instantly determined
ni proceed in person, with a reinforcement, for the reduction of
the stockade, which I did on the 9th instant, with a detail by
md 'and water (as per margin'), and reached Metkow on the
rning of the 10th ; during that day I have to stet* that fur.,
thee accounts reached ins of horrible murders and aggressions:
committed by the Zittaun people on the inliabilAnts,of those.,
villages who had sought our protection, and in a inure manifest
degree since their temporary success. I was employed all that
day in preparing and collecting osufficrient number of boats to
enable ate to proceed early on the succeeding morning. The
whole were in motion at tluee P.M. toki the nth, and landed near
Zittauit by nine o'clock.
Having ems some time in reconititriligistlaislace to „take
utt mjt position,ud the creek wilieliflanks the noshis4tee of
the stockade, ru i ins parallel line about 150 yatitle*from it,
loi
not fordable, but ascertained from my guides that it would be—
(-One so at law. water. The stockade stands on a considerable
etninenee,,mith an abrupt ascent to it, commanding every point
•by which the assailants must "preach. It appeared nf :great
extent, built entirely of teak timber, flanked at intervals' by loop
holes throughevery part of it, and its height from 18 to' 14 feet.
Pending the time I might be :able tti cross The ford, the artillery
n'ere placed in position, andopenedn fire of abut and shells on
every point. I then prepared the columns of attacker per
margin. -f. .
At two T.M. the water had sufficiently subsided to allow me to
Move forward ; the left column, which was ' obliged to mike a
detour to the Istiond rear of the place, preceded, and having
reached its positions, the right and centre columns having pre-
viously been instructed to what point their attacks were to be • di-
rected, the. advance was sounded for the whole to storm simul-
taneously,, and in less than 20 minutes we were in full possession.
The fire from the enemy wearmost heavy and destructive, and the
obstacles to be surmounted by our troops of no common kind,--.-
every man having been up to his neck in water while crossing
the creek. • It isutiththe deepest regret that I have to report
that our suceette,,thotigh complete, has been attended with severe
104 S.

Anwr►g the killed areCaptainCuraharn, Ist European Reg

meta, and Captain Steadman, 14th Regiment, C. IL 1., both

per:return attached.
The liniits,ef this dispatch prevent imm from particularizing the I
zettl and devotion to their duty of an, many who fully met the ex-
pectation I had formed of them, yet cannot retrain from bring-
ing. to the 'particular notice of the Major-General commanding
the forces, the names of Captains Cut sham and Steadman, whose
gallantly fell at the head of their respective columns ; of Major
Home, 12th regiment, and Captain Carket, who succeeded hem
(when wounded), of Lieutenant Charlton, last European regi-
rnent,end Lieutenant Haig, 34th regiment, C. L. 1., who both
likewise succeeded to the command of their admits on the death'
of the-before-named Officers; of Captain Dickinson, command-
ing the artillery, whose heavy fire and excellent practice contri-
buted so tnuch to keep down that of the enemy ; of Lieutenant
Fellarton, of the Commissariat department, who handsomely'vo-
lunteerwl his 'services; to Lieutenant Woodgatei of the Quarter

mater-General's department, tin. his exertions in leading on the
pioneers, with the ladders, on both attacks; and of Lieutenant
Williams, commanding Sd regiment, P. L. L, not only for his
anxiety and zeal, but from the able assistance I have derived from
hip perfect knowledge of the Burmese language:
The conduct of the flank companies of the let European Re-
gintent (both officers and men) has been such as nobly to sustain
tho high character of British soldiers. I arrehtsppy to have it in
Any power to add, that the native troops, with their respective
EuroPean,offieers, under my command, have upheld the chunk-'
ter of good soldiers. The unremitting attention and humane so-
liektole-and care of the sick and' wounded, by Mr. Assistant-.
Surgeon Richardson, Ist European Regiment, is such that I feel
it my duty to bring his name likewise to your favourable notice.
—.From the numerous accounts, received • from the head men of
Pegue villages, Who had been held in captivity by the Attiwoon
who defended the place, the number of the enemy may be euleu-
late&
at sor 3;000. upwards of SOO dead bodies 'were found
in the Stockade, independent of those carried eff, thrown 'into
wells, and the ; their loss cannot be computed at less than
double that number.' Many thousands of the inhabitants, who
were held in subjection under the oppressire yoke of. the. Bur-
mese, are now restored to their liberty and former homes, and the

had partially; subsided, is likely to be of longer continuance
than was expected. We are also concerned to find that
t his depression is not confined to the manufacturing towns ;
the standard of copper, at the , weekly ticketings in this
county, has fallen nearly 101. -per ton within the last fort-
night. On the 15th instant, the standard was
and thenverage produee 71; yesterday, the standard weal

very serious aspect of affairs. Numbers of our miners are
at this moment out of employ, and numbers are working
fpr very insufficient wages. At, theln:esent standard few

MANettErm, THIJESDAV EVENING.
Nothing satisfactory can be said of Tuesday's market
'scarcely any business was transacted, and a general gloom
seemed to prevail. Several commercial gentlemen, who ,
have been here for a few days, have procured scarcely any
orders, and no money is to be seen. Though confidence
is almost entirely lost, yet the greater part. of the businet.s
which is.done is on credit. It is rather curious to watch
the fluctuations-. which have, taken place here within a
short time, A fortnight ago every thing 'began to
brighten up and people had almost forgotten that any
difitreas ever existed; in a few days, however, the
scene was totally changed, and nothing was heard of but
bankruptcy and ruin. You must not be surprised to heat
of a few more failures.

BIRMINGIIAM, FRIDAY.
Though during the late cry of distress very little has
been said about this once opulent town, yet has it suffered
very considerable privation, and at the present time one
half of the working population is out of employ. Im-
pending ruin hangs over many manufacturers, as it is not
possible to dispose of stock at any thing like remunerating
rates, and copper, iron, and steel goods have been very
much reduced in price. As Birmingham has so extensive
an influence throughout the kingdom, those towns whose
commerce consists more especially in those branches, must
of course equally feel the effects of the reduction.
Trade is reviving a little at this place.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JUL, 5.
corn V. BARRIS AND MUMS.
Mr. HART appeared in support of a motion that Mr. Robinson,
the receiver of Covent-garden Theatre, should pay into Court
18,6001. the amount of two sums which appeared to be due from
lam on the face ofhis accounts as allowed by the Master. It ap-
peared by the Counsel's statement, that•plr. Robertson had made
payments on account of the theatre out of the monies which had
been in his hands, and which would materially reduce this
amount ; but as the Muter thought that under the order of the
Court those sums could not be allowed by him, the result of the
statement showed this balance against the receiver which the
plaintiff now claimed to have brought into Court.
Mr. Mau), for the receiver, explained that the sums had been
paid, for the embellishment repairs of the theatre, and that
they
,were necessarily paikbecause if they had not been, the leave
might have been forfeited or avoidable for breach of the condition'
contained in it. He complained strongly of the injustice of the
present attempt to make the receiver answerable for sums which
it was well known he had not in his possession, and added, that
ho now held only 2001. of the theatre's money, while 800 i. was
due to himself on the account of salary.
The Loan CHANCrI,LOR desired to see the paper., and pro-
mised to give judgment on Friday next.

The Bedford and Coventry electors ,appear to hive
agreed with George Colman, in thinking that "eating

i'fREON THE THAMES.—At eight o'clock on Tues-
day night, a fire broke out in one of the barges lying in Waterloo Dock, on the south side of the river, which for some time threat-
