iitenipt oh thit plate, it is supposed that the Burtitesel
/night be awed by it into submission.
The force collected by the Burmese, between Ran-'
goon ind Ummerapoora, was estimated at 100,000
ton, under the command of the Prince of SABRA-
WADDY, the King of AtrAt's brother. The reports of a
kevolution in Ava are not confirmed. Mr. GOUGER,
ivho was taken prisoner some time ago by the Burmese.
remained in their custody, but had not suffered any
further molestation. A number of fire-rafts, filled with
Warious combustibles, which hail been constructed by
the Burmese, for the purpose of floating down the Irra-
waddy, and impeding the progress of the transports,
had been destroyed by -Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL.
Upwards of 5,000 barrels of oil had been blown up.
—For further details of the operations of our army, we
refer to the East India intelligence in another column,
a; well as for the official account of the events at Bar-
rackpore, which seem to have been much exaggerated ;
Vie private letters are very contradictory as to the num-
ber of sepoys killed, though they all seem to concur in
ta a important points—namely, that the mutiny did not
arise from disaffeition to the Government, and that,
from whatever cause it did arise, it has been suppressed
by the decisive, though painful measures that were
adopted.
The mutiny, as we stated yesterday, took place in the
47th Native Infantry ; and the cause of discontent is said
to have been some real or imaginary privations of
mat citing allowances, and bullocks and coolie. for con-
veying their baggage to Chittagong, where they were
onlered to march.
The first symptoms of insubordination were evinced
on the morning of the 2d Nov. on the muster of the47th
Native Regiment on the parade at Barrackpore, prepa-
rator y to their being marched to Dacca, on their road
to the seat of the campaign, in the Burmese territory.
, Barrack pore is distant about 16 miles from Calcutta.
On this occasion it was remarked, that the troops ap-
peared on the parade without their knapsacks ; and on
being questioned why they did so ? avowed their deter-
mination not to march unless allowed bullocks and
coolies to carry their moveables. Colonel DALZEL, the
English Officer commanding the mutinous regiment,
expostulated with them on their conduct, and on their
remaining refractory, rushed for ward and attempted to
seize one of those who appeared to take a leading part
in the mutiny. 'He was warned, however, by some of
the others to desist, they declaring their intention to
shoot him if he persevered. lie then required that
all those who did not participate in this mutinous
conduct should separate from their coals odes, when
one whole company detached itself, and was followed by
the native Officers in command of the other companies.
There was not, in fact, one Officer, even so low in rank
as the havildar, sr serjeant, who took any part in the
mutiny. Colonel DALZEL., finding the remainder im-
movable in their resolution, and fearing the conse-
quences that might ensue, as they were well supplied
both with arms and ammunition, dispatched couriers to
the artillery station at Dumdum, and to the Commander-
inaCtrief, who was at Calcutta, who repaired w ith his
guard, and the body-guard of the Governor-General,
which are cavalry and Mahometan troops, to the neigh-
bourhood where the mutineers kept their position
—At this time there was in garrison at Fort William,
the Ist Battalion Royal Scots, and the 44th Regiment;
and, by great good fortune, the 47th (British) Regiment
had dropped down the river in boats. on their route to
Chittagong, only the evening before. By considerable
activity, all these troops were collected near Barrack.
pore by day-break on the Sd, hut their approach was
managed with so much caution, that it remained un-
known to the mutineers. These men were then once
more addressed by their Officers, and advised to a vo-
luntary submission, but continuing refractory, the ar-
tillery and troops were brought to act upon them, first
by a single gun shotted, being fired over their heads
(intentionally) ; next, by a general discharge of grape.
—The mutineers do not seem to have been aware of
• the presence of the artillery, which, however, did but
little execution, owing to the intervention of the trees,
huts of the cantonment, and the other impediments. It
however caused them to break, when the light compa-
nies dashed in and did considerable execution. The
greater part however escaped, facilities to fly being in-
tentionally afforded. A great many precipitated them-
selves into the river, numbers were killed by the fire ofl
the trcops,and about fifty were secured in their attempt
to escape. In the accounts of what ensued at this period
of the affair, there is a singular discrepancy ; some
letters stating the killed and wounded of the muti-
nous regiment at 600, and others at no more than
40, but there is every reason for believing that the
smallest number given is the nearest to the truth.
The exaggeration is, without doubt, owing to the
i. alarm which prevailed at Calcutta at the time, that
place having been left under the protection of no more
than 400 European troops during the period occupied
in putting down the mutiny. A Court-Martial had.
' . been formed to try the mutineers, and it is asserted in
some accounts that fifty had been hanged ; but we are
inclined here also to take the more moderate statement,
from which we learn that five only, and those well known
to be the ringleaders in the mutiny,had been put to death.
—No search after the fugitives had been instituted,
with the exception of two or three, well known to have
excited the discontent of the remainder, and for whose
apprehension rewards had been offered. On the inves-
, ligation that took place, some of the troops who were
questioned respecting their motives for refusing to
match, are said to have assigned as a reason, that they
imagined the Burmese dealt in witchcraft, and conse-
quently that other troops could have no chance against
magicians—a reason which is sufficiently characteristic
I, of the superstitious inorance of our nativelndian troop's.

Too mticti frail* eitenot be given to Mr. Secretary
Pan for so early in the Session bringing in a Bill to,
amend and consolidate the laws relating to Juries,
which are at present scattered oter sb many statutes'
and those of so different a Charicter, that every periOn
must wonder-how they became mingled together. We
trust, with the Bight Honourable Secretary, that the
advantage of the measure will be so clearly felt, is to
induce a speedy extension of the principle Of consoli-
dating the scattered statutes ott every subject Into one
general law.
