INDIAN PAPERS.

Yesterday's resort announced the arrival of the brig
Colonel Young, Captain H. M. Walter, from Singapore
the 19.!‘ of Mat ch ; and ship Penang Merchant, Captain
D. Olive 7, from It tngoon the 5 It of April.
Friday night these was a ball and supper at Govern.
ment House, in honour of the King's Birth-day. The
grand entrance was illuminated, and his. M ijssty's ini-
tials stood emblazoned in variegated lamps. above the
great staircase. About ten o'clock, when the rooms
were crowded with company, the Right lion. the Go-
vernor-General and Lady Amherst entered the ball-
room, amidst the honours due to their rank. Shortly
afterwards dancing commenced, and was, considering
the heat of the weather, kept up with the greatest pit it
till supper time.
The success of our arms in Arracan appears to have
been most decisive. It is understood that the enemy's
force is completely broken and dispersed. In former
times it is well known that the Burmese armies, on such
occasions, were mole easily re•collected than those of
European Powers; but now, that all confidence is lost
in their Government and leaders, we apprehend the
discomfituse is total and irreparable. We believe it is
the intention that the army in Arracan shall push on,
immediately that the means of moving forward with
effect can be procured. It is hoped this will be shortly
the case; and we thetefore trust that ere long we shall
h•tve to announce a forward movement of some conse-
quence towards the'conclusion of the war.

" Since my last, our launch arrived from Donabew
with dispatcheq, and the Penang Merchant sails this
afternoon; so I have only time to send you a few lines.
Our boat left on the Ist, and they had then orened a
fine from the two IS-pounders bind four mortars, and
also from two mortars and two 12-pounders on the
point of land opposite am ;hew. On the 25th, Sir Ar-
chibald arrived in the vicinity of Donabew, and sent
Nlajnr Jackson, Quarter-Master.General, with three
elephant.,, a deochment of Europeans, and a small
party of body guard, to open a communication with
General Cotton. Jackson effected his object without
interruption; but on his return he was suddenly at-
tacked by a large body of the enemy, and the three
Mahouts being and one elephant wounded, they
ran off towards the river, and he was obliged to make
a retreat : he reached the river, and the boats being in
readiness, the men were embarked and the elephants
and horses swam across to Cotton's camp; our loss was
ten killed and wounded. All the wounded were brought
away, except one poor fellow, whom they took pri-
soner. Jackson and his whole party made a devilish
narrow escape. _ _

Next day, the 27th, Cotton _determined to farce a
passage to Sir Archibald by water, and accordingly
the trcops being embarked on their boats they started,
accompanied by the Powerful cutter,towed by the steam
boat ; the former having mortars, and the latter rockets
on board ; they had to pass within half range of a bat-
tery of 27 heavy guns, and 21 war boats, each with
two fine brass guns, 12 and 6-pounders. At first the
war boats sheaved fight, and came out to attack our
boats; tut the steam boat casting off, the Powerful
dashed in amlng them, followed by the armed boats,
and took 13 out of the 21 ; the other eight made their
escape, and Gene. al Cotton joined Sir Archibald with
the loss of, I believe, three killed and ten wounded; one
Officer, Lieutenant Sy mes, Machu Artillery, severely
wounded—a three pound ball through his thigh. The
same day they attacked a picket of our's, consisting of
120 Europeans, and a party of the body guard, with a
couple of guns. They came out with 20 elephants, each
mounting a gun, and supported by infantry, and a body
of Cassay horse. Our men reserved their fire, till they
were vk ithiii 100 yards, and then opened upon them with
grape, Shrapnel), rockets, and musketry. Ily all ac-,
counts n.,t a man upon the elephants was left alive ;

MINT OAZCTTE OP APRIL 28, 1825.
• Anchorage near Dnnabew, March 428.
On the 21th, at noon, General Campbell arrived, aid
encamped on the north side of the great stockade, but
the wind blowing up the river, prevented our hearing
the preconcerted signal ; on the morning of the 25th,
he opened a few guns and mortars on the stockade,
which announced to us his arrival. OA the 26th, he
ordered a party of 20 cavalry, and 150 of the 30th,
with three elephants. under J.ickson, to march inland,
pass round the stockades, to make a communication
with us, which they effected, and arrived opposite our
shipping about ten o'clock.
Jackson vas accompanied by our friend Montgo-
merle, Madras Head of the pioneers, and two Officers
of the 30th (Kioe's). After settling their arrangement's,
k•and breakfasting, they started at one &Jock, not with-
out same apprehensi ins of being oppesed ; and, certain
enough, before they had got a little more than a mile,
the distance around being four, and when passing
through some extremely large reeds, the enemy opened
a fire u, on them, wounded the three Mahouts, and
killed ore of the 30th. The leading elephant being
wounde.l, turned about, and the others followed.
J mks en's chief d.-pendence for a road being on the
elephants, he thought it advisable to return; a:id they
did so, followed up nearly the whole way by the party
of the enemy ; v. e were happy to see them, and to find
that so few casualties had taken place, for the musketry
lead us to think there would have been more. Toe e'e-
pliants swam across to our side of the river, and with
some management the horses and men were got over
before sunset, and all the care and attention paid to
m our means permitted; it was determined that
evening, that the steam boat Diana, and t',e division
the gun busts shoUld push up the river at three in the
morning, and join Sir A. Campbell, but this did cot
take place until daylight, and they passed the fort
under a very heavy cannonade, returning with rockets
and guns in fine style.
Only one gun boat suffered anything of consequence,
and she was obliged, from a shot that struck I.er bow,
to be taken to the shore under protection of a battery cf
two six-pounders, which had been erected during
night opposite the stockade; the stew n-boat pushed en,
and ran two golden war boats ashore, which they cap-
tured with their two guns, but the peolie in them made
their escape. General Campbell's party sunk two war
boats, and Steele writes that fifteen made• their e.cate,
leaving only two under the place.
Whilst all this was going on, a party of the enemy,
mounted on elephants, attacked a picket of the body
guard, supposing they were only armed with swords;
the cavalry behaved, it aprears, very well, they al-
lowed them to come on, attacked them, and killed the
Chief, and all the riders, but the little animals made off
lin the jungle, in the neighbourhood of the stockade ; this
took place yesterday morning, and Bundoolah ha, been
very quiet ever since.
I omitted to inform you, that in passing the fort, Symes, of the
Artillery, was badly wounded by a three pound shot in the thigh,
and nine men were wounded also on the 29th.
During yesterday, our boats captured nice more fine war boats,
some mounting two, luau guns.

" Brigadier M'Crtagh mltrolted with the Royals, and
some native troops, en the `2lst; and three days ago,
250 Europeans, and 800 natives, with a heavy train of
Aitillery, went up by water to tcinforce General
Cottcn. It was txpected that Gene. •1 Campbell would
be before the works of Donibew, on the '2Bth, and
yesterday a heavy cannonade was heard in that dit cc-
tion for upwards of two hours, so we conclude the
place to be invested. It will be fearful work, the Eu-
ropeans having sworn they will spare neither m.tn.
woman, nor child, on account of the horrid treatment
of our po .r men, who fell on the first attack. Briga-
dier Smelt, of the 41st, remains in command here, with
about 1,400 men. We get fish, foals, vegetab.cs,
bread, milk, and eggs in the baz tar, but everything
very dear.

which were to be forced. On the morning of the 26th
three columns were formed, the right column under
Brigadier Grant, the left under Captain Leslie 54th Re-
giment ; a small force to move by water, and the cen-
tre of the main body under the General in person, with
o hom we had the satisfaction of moving. Skilful ar-
rangements, aided by that spirit of enthusiasm that
seemed to animate every man, secured to us, in a few
moments I may say, the whole range of hills, and this
with very trifling loss. A more dastardly enemy I
hardly ever heard of; one battalion of French Light
Troops would have offered more resistance.
" On the morning of -the 29th a column was placed
under the command of Brigadier-General M'Bean, who
had been sent to make a diversion at the Chamballa
Stockades ; his command was six companies his Ma-
jesty's 54th, the two Madras Regiments, the 2d Light
Infantry Battalion, and two Brigadess of guns; his in-
structions were to drive in the enemy's outposts, and to
invest the city, where it was known the enemy were in
fi.tce; the exact number I cannot state, but I believe
the actual Burmese not to have exceeded 10,000 ; but
the whole p-pulation of the neighbourhood were forced
to arm against Ili, some with pikes ! whets bows and
arrows! and same men to cast stones at us, which were
collected all along the range of hills I Here indeed was
a position, of which few old soldiers ever saw the like;
to describe it is hardly possible, and every one must
confess that every means of resistance at the command
of a race of semi-barbalians were here brought into
effect. Despicable as the Burmese must be considered
by those who have made other campaigns, their formi-
dable.position now inspired them with confidence, and
they Apposed our column with much daring ; in a very
short time many valuable Officers and men were put
hors de combat.
" On the night of the 30th a battery of nine guns and four mor-
tars was thrown up, which commenced firing on the astonished foe
by eight o'clock on the morning of the 31st; even this tremendous
battery could not do much injury to the enemy, posted on their
towering heights; and, indeed, after every shot the ruffians
cheered ! "/t must be done by the bayonet," was the universal re-
mark, an'd our General thought so too, and the hill he promised
us on the 29th was allotted for us to carry this night, the 31st."

The Calcutta Gazette Extraordinary of the 29th of
April, contains the following official article :

Political Department, Fort William, April 29, 1825.
The following Copy of a Despatch, received this day
from Btigadier•Gen. Sir Archibald Campbell, K.C.B.
and K.C.T.S. is published for general information :
To George Swinton, Esq. Secretary to fhe Government, Secret
and Political Department, Fort William.

SIR—My dispatch of the 29th ultimo would in-
form you of my arrival in front of Donabew, as well
as of my motives for having retraced my steps to the
place. I have now the honour to acquaint you, that
the fort and different redoubts fell into our hands this
morning, with all the ordnance, stores, depots, &c. &c,
having been evacuated and abandoned by the enemy in'
the course of last night, and it affords me great satis.
faction to add, that this important point has been gained
with a very trifling loss on our part.
I found the fort of Donabew much too extensive to
be so/rounded by my small force; and although fully
aware of the great importance of every hour of the de-
clining season of military operations, I preferred the loss
of time to the loss of lives, and resolved to take advan-
tage of our means and science in the reduction of the
place. lin consequence ordered some heavy guns and
mot tars to be brought up, and landed, and with much
laborious exertion on the part of ail employed, our
mortar and enfilading batteries were opened yesterday,
and tl:e breeching batteries had just commenced their
fire at day-I:gilt this morning, when the enemy's small
rear guard was discovered in full retreat towards the
jungle. The place was immediately taken possession
of, and in addition to the long list of guns, &e. found
on the works, we have taken granaries and depots of
grain sufficient for the cousumption of this force for
many months; all the wounded and sick found in the
place join w ith the deserters who have come in, positively
asserting the death of Maha Bundoolah ; and from the
circumstantial manner in which the story is told by all,
I can have no doubt of the fact. He is said to have been
killed by a rocket while going his rounds yesterday, and
no entreaty of the other Chiefs could prevail upon the al-
ready panic-struck garrison to remain longer together.
They have fled through the jungle, in the direction of
Limina, and I have reason to hope few of them will
again appear in arms against us. During the siege the
enemy made several bold and desperate sorties on our
liars, but were on all occasions quickly repulsed. In
one of these sorties, a scene at once novel and inte-
resting presented itself in front of both armies. Seven-
teen large elephants, each carrying a complement of
armed men, and supported by a column of infantry,
were observed moving down towards our right flank ;
I directed the body guard, under Captain Sneyd, to
charge them, and they acquitted themselves most
handsomely, mixing boldly with the elephants; they
shot their riders off their backs, and fins ly drove the
whole back into the fort. On this occasion, I also
observed the energy and activity of the Bengal Horse
A. tillety and It cket Troop, under Captains Graham
and Lumsden, as very conspicuous.
The unremitting zeal and activity of Lieutenant-Co-
lonel Hopkinson and Captain Grant, Commanding
Officers of Anil' ery and Engineers, during a most try-
ing period, metit my peculiar notice, and their skill and
attention io carrying on the approaches before this place,
reflect upon them the highea credit.
I now beg leave to acknowledge my obligations to
Captain Alexander, C.B. of his Majesty's ship Alligator,
senior Naval Officer. and commanding the flotilla, for
his hearty and cordial co-operation en all occasions
since vie have served together, and for his very great
exertion on the present occasion, in bringing up stores
and provisions.
Since we have been before Donabew, eleven of the
enemy's large class war-boats have been captured by
our advanced boats, under his own immediate orders;'
making with others evacuated by their crews, thirty-
eight first-rate war boats now in our possession ; and
have every reason to think that ont five of the large
squadron the enemy has stationed at this place. have
succeeded in escaping.
.A vast number of other boats of an excellent description have
also fallen into our bands.
In the course of to-morrow part of my force will be again in
motion towards Prome.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your moss
obedient bumble servant,
ARCH IBA LD CAMPBELL, Brig.-General.

change, but no business is doing as yet, and Consols may be quoted

A Supplement to the London Gazette was published

nor-General of India, containing an account of the cap-
ture of Donabew, and the other successes of our arms
against the Burmese—the substance of which will be
found in our previous columns.

Among the Officers killed and wounded in these
operations, in addition to those already mentioned are:

Killed—Captains /t. C. Rose, and Charles Cannon, Ms Majesty's

;.—.....
The intelligence receive— ived some weeks ago, and already
communicated to our Readers, of the capture of Do-
nabew and Prome, by Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, is at
length confirmed by the official accounts which we have
the pleasure this day to publish.

All encomium on the consummate military talent
displayed by that gallant Officer, in these successive
operations, is superfluous. His best panegyric will be
found in the plain, unvarnished tale of his achieve-
ments, from which it will also be seen that the honour
of the British army was never more gloriously sustained
than by the Officers and men composing the corps
under his command, in each department of which there
appears the same generous emulation for perpetuating
amongst the natives of India, a remembrance of the un-
conquerable spirit which at all times has characterised
the heroic sons of Albion—the same noble thirst for in-
dividual distinction, and the same unquenchable zeal
in promoting the public cause. Two circumstances in
these late important acquisitions are eminently gratify-
ing. The first is, that if the enemy has not already been
reduced to utter despair by the loss of his chief defences—
his magazines of artillery, of warlike stores, and of
corn and other means of subsistence—and by the death
or defection of his principal leaders; the occupation of
Donabew and Prome, will provide comfortable quit-
ters for our army in the rainy season, and ensure the
conquest and quiet subjection of the whole Burman
empire in another carrpaign. The second point worthy
of remark, is the exceeding small sacrifice of life, by
which those two invaluable positions were acquired.
From this it is clear, that the enemy has at length
completely lost butt, and cannot be induced to
make head against a British force of any descrip-
tion. No time will be lost by Sir ARCHIBALD CAMP-
BELL,
we may be assured, in taking advantage of this
panic ; and having now the means of crushing a most
f ,rmidable and implacable foe, it will he our own fault
if ever he is in a condition to disturb our Eastern fron-
tier again. That frontier, after the costly experience
we have had of its importance, will, we trust, for the
future, rest on China ; and no consideration ought to
induce us to leave it to chance, whether some petty
tyrant may not embroil our tranquillity by his own en-
deavours, or interrupt us in assuming, whenever cir-
cumstances may require, a commanding attitude on the
verge of the Celestial Empire, perfectly certain as a e are
• that such an advantage will alone secure us a prepon-
derating influence in the councils of that singular
people, who are as abject before real power, as they are
insufferably proud and domineering in its absence.

By the arrival of a Brazil mail we have received Rio
de Janeiro Papers to the 2lst ult. Their contents are
interesting. It appears that it was not until the 28th
or 29th of July, that the EMPEROR appointed FRAN-
CISCO VILLELA BAR,OZA his Counsellor of State, 'Mt-
nister of Marine; and BARAO DE SANTO AMARO, his
Counsellor of State, conjointly with his Excellency the
M nister for Foreign Affairs, to confer and treat with
Sir CHARLES 3TuAar on the important negotiations
now pending.

It will be in the recollection of our Readers that the
Brazilian troops had seized on the province of Chiqui.
tos, in Upper Peru, which called forth a very spirited
remonstrance from General SUCRE. Various explana-
tions were given, such as that the province wished to
be united to Brazil ; it will, however, be seen, that the
E►rrzaost has disavowed this act, and that the province
is restored, his MAJESTY declaring that be will not in-
terfere between Spain and her late colonies. His Im-
perial MAJESTY has also issued a decree for regulating
Mining Companies, which is not very explicit, but seems
intended to abridge the privileges previously granted
to the persons authorized to form Mining Companies in
Linden, and which are stated to have been abusei.
The following are extracts :

RIO DE JANEIRO, AUGUST 6.
OFFICIAL.

His Majesty has received the dispatch of the Go-
vernor of Matto Grout), of the 15th of April, accom-
panied by various documents, from which it appeirs
that the independent troops of Peru having taken pos•
session of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, and called upon
Don Sebastian Ramos, Governor of the Province of
Chiquitos, faithful to the King of Spain, to join the

r

'standard of the Liberals, he refused to do so, and pte.'
ferred seeking the protection of the Imperial arms; and
that, with this view, he sent his Aid-de-Camp, Don Jose
Maria de Velasco, to the Governer of Matto Grosso, to
whom he proposed to unite tle Province of Chiquitos'
with the Empire of Brazil, a proposal which the Go-
vernor of Matto Grosso, by the advice of the Pro-
vincial Authorities, accepted. Though the Governor
perhaps, thought, by this means, better to provide fur
the defence of Matto Grosso; and actuated, perhaps,
by an indiscreet zeal, thought to do a service to his
Majesty and to the Empire, by the acquisition of an
adjacent territory, in order to support, by this means,
the exertions of the Royalists in America ; yet it
should have occurred to the Provisional Government,
that the particular interest of a nation is not a sufficient
or honourable reason for aggrandizing itself at the
expense of the fidelity of people who are led to make
such a sacrifice only by calamities, which, though
serious, are however transitory ; and as, besides, the
Government is quite incompetent to make a practical
decision in the questions ss bleb divide the Liberals and
the Royalists in Spanish America, and should, therefore,
not have resolved on such measures, his Majesty the
Emperor commands the Minister of State for Foreign
Affairs,to signify his surprise to the Government at the
resolution which it took, not only to accept the union of
the Province of Chiquitos, but to make the Brazilian
troops pass the frontier of the empire, to protect it ;
and the more so, as if his Majesty had been previously
consulted, as he ought to have been, he never would
have given his consent to this step, it being contrary
to the generous and liberal sentiments which guide the
policy of his cabinet, and to his intention of not inter-
fering in the present contest between the inhabitants of
Spanish America and the mother country, as Is con•
formable to the public law of civilized nations.

LUIZ JOSE DE CARVALHO E AIELHO.
Palace of Rio de Janeiro, 6th August, 18g5.
AUGUST 20.—We have received the following im-
portant article from Matto Grosso :
el The Government of Chiquitos having proposed a
convention for the temporary union of that province
with the empire of Brazil, and the Provisional Govern.
ment net waiting for the meeting of itsPretident, and the
Deputies necessary to the legality of its deliberations,
arbitrarily involved itself in matters beyond the limits
of its powers, and violating the laws of the empire. the
law of nations, and the general policy of civilised na-
tions, committed a great absurdity in sending forces to
the provinces to be united. This Government, therefore,
being constituted in its legal plenitude, desiring to repair
the effect of this irregular conduct, which might lead to
an unjust war, and desiring to give to its neighbours a
proof of the sentiments which animate it, and of the
neutrality so repeatedly recommended by its august
Sovereign, declares null and of non-effect, from this
moment, all the conventions made between this Go-
vernment and that of Chiquitos, as invalid and con-
ti ary to our Constitution. It orders, therefore, the
illustrious Deputy, Commander of the troops, Captain
Manoel Vellezo Itibeiro et Vasconcellos, that, marching
with all celerity to the point which in his prudence he
•hall chuse, he shall dispatch the necessary orders for
the evacuation of the abovementioned Province, taking
the strictest measures that the detachment shall, in its
retreat, observe the most strict discipline and the most
scrupulous disinterestedness.

DECREE.

Having ascertained that the individuals to whom I granted per-
mission to form, in London, Mining Companies on the tertn(which
they had laid before me, forgetting that I had placed in them my
Imperial confidence, have been guilty of abuses wish a view to
secure private interests, neglecting that of the Empire, and
being desirous to prevent the repetition of such abuses, and to
provide against other cases that may occur, contrary to in) dignity
and that of the Empire, I hereby order and declare:
1. That the grantees (oseencasionarius) who have abused the fa.
Tour I conferred on them shaU be obliged to account fur their pro-
ceedings without this making any alteration in the transactions that
have been already made on the good faith and confidence placed in
the faithful execution of my Imperial Decrees.
2. That toe licenses which I may grant far the formation of any
Societies are always to be understood as personal, and restricted to
the individuals on whom the favour is conferred, without power to
tranifer them to others, and cannot be carried into effect wiles. the
couditions of the Society are approved by me.
..That in future grants,* term not exceeding twenty years shall be
fixed, which may be prolonged if I think it suitable to the interest
of the Empire.
4. That the grantees shall be answerable for the conduct of the
agents of the Society; since it depends on them to make a proper
choice of the officers of the Society.
ti. That whatever Society is created and established for this Em-
pire without my previous and special license, shall not only be In-
admissible, but the Members shall, from that time, and by the Act
itself, be prohibited from addressing to me applications for the li-
censing of their Society. Estevao Ribeiro de Rezende, Member of
my Council of Blinisters, Secretary of State for the affairs of the
Kingdom, shall see to the execution of this Decree.
(Signed by his Majesty the Emperor)
ESTEVAO RIBEIRO DE REZENDE.
Palace, 12th August, 1825.

The French Papers of Wedeesday have reached us.
They contain some idle conjectures on the effect the
death of the King of BAVARIA is likely ,to have on the
other States of Germany. Three different lists have
been made of the several persons likely to contract
for the HAytian loan. The King of the NETHERLANDS
has appointed M. DHRNSTERS, a Consul-General to re-
side at Valparaiso, who has already sailed for his desti-
nation. This sort of reeopition of the Republic of
Chile is a pretty clear proof of his Belgian Majesty's
determination to pursue the path of British policy, in re-
gard to the South American States.

Accounts from Madrid state, the decree of amnesty
would not be published on the 14th instant, as was ex-
pected, but that orders would be transmitted to the
inspectors of the different arms, to employ in the army,
without previous purification, such Officers as they
shall think worthy of it, from the rank of Sub-Lieute-
nant to that of Captain inclusive. This measure had
already been adopted with respect to the Officers of
engineers.
