CALCUTTA. JANUARY u.
The latest letters which we have seen from the Army
now in motion under General Morrison, were dated
Ramon, on the 13th. The 44th Regiment, and 62d
Native Infantry. had reached that ill-fated spot and
halted. It was not expected that the whole of General
Morrison's Army would enter the enemy's territories
before the 28th instant; everything was in the greatest
abundance in the •Camp, and the men in the higheit
spirits; no resistance is expected at Meingadoo, nor,
until they reach Aracan..

We have received the French Papers to the 4th inst..
with the Doile of Saturday. An article extracted from
the Augsburgh Gazette says, that the force under lazA-
LIIM PACIIA, in the Morea, had been reduced to 2000
men, and that, disappoiT.ted in his hopes of relief from
the Turkish fleet, and from the advance of Ransoms
PACIIA, he was on the eve of capitulating or of being
compered to surrender. The traitor ODYssEUS is said
to have fallen into the hands of the Greeks, after having
been abandoned by his own soldiers. Intelligence from
Cadiz to the 16th ult. says, tliat two frigates had sailed
from that port to endeavour to capture a Colombian
vessel of the same class, which intercepted all the trade
of that place. It appears that the late Viceroy of Peru,
Count LAMINA, continued to think hinvelf safer at
Bourdeaux, than at his Master's Court, or in the Penin-
sula, for they now talk of his remaining he whole sum-
mer in France.

the circumstance, that the pet !nuisance concluded Madame Pasea's

Cnxasn,—This enormous specimen of a Cheshire dairy, weigh-

Earl Gaosvessoa, is daily expected in London. It is splendidly
ornamented with the arms of Chester, and the heraldic bearings
of his Royal Highness, and is packed in a case.made purposely for
it. A copy of the Address accompanies it.—'fbe cheese to the
Bishop is nearly of the same weight, and ornamented in an appro-
priate way by the same tasteful artist. It was procured from the
same dairy, and tbe quality of both is of the very first order.—
The Bishop's cheese was forwarded by the mail on Wednesday
morning. with an Address.
Messrs. C. and G. Green made their third ascent, in
their magnikest balloon, from the Nun's Field. Newcastle-upon-
Tyne, on Monday last. The stupendous machine arose from the
earth about a quarter before four o'clork. 'The ascent was grand
in the extreme, and in a very few minutes the intrepid aronauts
found themselves at as- elevation of nearly two miles.. They
bore away in a southern direction, exciting the wonder and
admiration of the whole country over which they passed.—
In a few minutes after their ascent. the balloon was descried
from the higher parts of this city, mitt it appeared to pass directly
over our heads at about twenty minutes past four o'clock, having
then come a distance of fifteen miles. It proceeded. onward, in-
clining somewhat to the east, in a steady and stately course. and it
was not icily lost sight of until half.pau five o'clock. During the
wbeis ei this voyaserwhich lasted two boars and three tisarten, the
Aeneas& had a beautiful view of the sea. It was their intention to
haws travalkd much farther, but being becalmed over the bleaching
grounds at Hutton Rudby, for eight or ten minutes, ant having
the arrelland bills in Sight, they determined on a descent, which
they effected with ease and safety, in a field of pasture land, on the
