The intelligence to which we alluded yesterday, re-
lative to the complete subjugation of the Birman Em-
pile by the capture of its Monarch, and the conquest,
of his capital, reached this country in the form of a
letter from Sincapore, dated 9th April, which we insert
in another column. This letter was sent by a French
brig bound to Bourdeaux, and received from thence
yesterday in the City. It is said that the handwriting
of the Author is so well known to his Correspondents,
that no doubt can temain of its authenticity. Believing
this, and with the strongest desire also to bel•eve the
important fact so announced, we are, nevertheless, from
internal evidence, compelled to pause before we can
allow our reason so far to accord with our wishes as to
yield our assent to the intelligence.

The writer's informant received the details thus corn-
municated on the 20th of March, at Bankok, a port at
the top of the Gulf of Siam, from whence he reached
the island of S.ncapere, our settlement at the extremity
of the Peninsula of Malacca, in seventeen days, just
before the French brig had sailed.
The Capital of Ava, Ummerapoora, is an immense
distance to the westward of Siam, in nearly the same
longitude as Rangoon, the principal sea port of Ava,
which is only a very few degrees southward of the scene
of action. Yet it is stated that the British army was
in full march for, and only tines days' journey distant
from the Capital of the King of SLAM on the 19th of
March, for what conceivable object we are at a loss to
conjecture. Supposing that the event in question had
occurred about the end of February, it could immediately
he known at Rang lon, perhaps before the setting in of the
sloth-west monsoon, from whence intelligence cou:d
reach Calcutta in three cr four weeks. Admitting, how.
ever, that these violent winds had prevented egress from
Rango-n, the information must have reached Calcutta
~ver-land at farthest in a month's time,that is, before the
end of Match. Now, an event of such high importance.
would instantly have been announced to the Govern-
ment at home by over-land dispatches,and certainly have
reached England before now—inasmuch as five months
have elapsed in the meantime, and six since the alleged
conquest. We fear, therefore, that we must suspend
our belief till those difficult points are cleared
up, though it is just possible that the information may,
after - all, be substantially correct, from some extraor-
dinary coincidence of adverse events having occurred
to delay the bearers of the dispatches, who would, Ira
doubt, have been forwarded both by sea and land, to
communicate such a glorious result of British valour
in ti is pro.raeted and arduous contest. We ardently
wish that this last supposition may prove correct.

This forenoon we received Dutch Papers to the 8:11
instant. They contain some interesting observations
on the Ordonnance of the Into of the Netherlands,
respecting education, which are defended against some
of the French Journals. The decree is evidently a blow
at Jesuitism, and hence arises the opposition to it.—.
