The following is a copy of the ProclamitiOn issued by
the British Authorities on enteinfg the A.i.ant territories:
" Inhabitants of Assam !—lt is well known to you,
that some years ago the Burmese invaded yoUr territory,
and that they have since dethroned the Rajah, plundered
the country, slaughtered Brahmins, and women, and cows,
defiled your temples, and committed the most barbarous
outrages of every kind ; so that vast numbers of your'
countrymen have been forced to seek refuge in our do-
minions, 'where they have never ceased to implore our
assistance. Notwithstanding our regret at witnetsing the
miseries to which they were subjected, as we were on
friendly terms with the King of Ava, we could not inter-
fere. But now the Officers of his Burmese Majesty have
invaded our independent territory of Cachar, and there
and elsewhere have.committed such outrage, and held
a language so arrogant and hostile, that we are at
length at war. The wished for opportunity of
rcliev-
ing yourselves from the hands of your oppressors has.
now arrived. Our victorious army has crossed the
boundary, and ere long we will drive the barbarians
beyond the Barmahkoond, nor cease until we restore
peace and security to your distracted country. Come
forward, then, without fear for the present or thefuture.
Supply our. troops with provisions, for which ready
money will be paid, and fail not when you have an op-
portunity to wreak your vengeance on the remnant of
those who have cau.ed you so many calamities. We
are not led into your country by the thirst of conquest,
but are forced, in otfr defence, to deprive our enemy of
the means of annoying us. You may, therefore, rest
assured, that we will never consent to depart until we
exclude our foe from Assam, and re-establish in that
country a Government adapted to your wants, and cal-
culated to promote the happiness of all parties."

DOVER, OCTOBER s.—This morning, two privates of
the 17th Lancers, of the names of Briscoe and Heider-

son, who had deserted from Deal Barracks, were ap-
prehended at the Cross Keys ale-house here, on a capital
charge of felony, in having-entered the barrack-room of
Captain Scott, an Officer of the 17th, and stolen various
articles of plate, wearing apparel, and a pair of pistols.
They had sold part of the property in this town, parti-
cularly the pistols, which were said to be worth 201.
for 11. At the time of their apprehension, they were
apparelled in the clothes of Captain Scott, and had so
disfigured themselves, by cutting off their whiskers and
mustachios, that the Serjeant who was sent after them
was a (planer of an hour in their company before he
recognized them. One of them is said to have been a

commissioned officer, and is highly respectably con-
nected. They were both sent to Deal jail.
Pope LEO XII. on the 25th of July last visited all the
prisons ; on his return to his palace a grenadier left the
ranks and presented to the Holy Father his munition
loaf, at the same time complaining of the badness of it.
Far from being angered at this boldness, the POPS, in
answer to the man, said You shall have justice ren-
dered to you." An inquiry was instituted, when it was
proved that the Purveyor, false to his engagements, had
dealt out to the soldiers nothing bet bread of the very
worst kind. The report of this transaction was legally
made tcuthe Sovetitton PonTIFF, who sentenced the
Purveyor to an immediate fine of fourteen hundred and
Anety Roman crowns, which were instantly paid down
and distributed to the soldiers who had suffered by the
knavery of the Contractor.
The family of Mr. J., the keeper of a fashionable'
hotel at the west end of the town, has lately been thrown
into great distress by the unprincipled conduct of a sedu• I
cer. A Mr. George o—, the son of an opulent draper
in the neighbourhood of Bond-street, was admitted into
the family of Mr. J— as the suitor of his daughter.
The two families had been long is habits of friendly in-
timacy, and it was understood that Mr. 0— only
waited the death of a near relative, aged 83, to make
the young Lady his wife. The attentions of Mr.o
were unremittingly continued for nearly two years,when
about three months since, Miss J— became extremely
indisposed, and in a very desponding state; and con-
fessed to her female attendant that Mr. o—, under
the mask of introducing her to a relative, had one even-
ing, while walking, prevailed on her to accompany
him to see an aunt in the vicinity of Soho-square, where
he accomplished the foul purpose which he had been
so long contemplating; and that her utter ruin was in-
evitable with her family and the world. The unfortu-
nate young Lady was conveyed to the country, where
about a month since she lay in. On being appealed to
by her father, the infamous seducer refused to fulfil his
promise, and the daughter is so 'deeply affested by her
situation, that little hope is enteratined of her recovery.
Mr. Crofts, the landlord of the King's Head tavern, at
Margate, has been robbed of the considerable sum of
1,6001. in the following extraordinary manner :—lt ap-
pears that he some time since made a purchase of houses
on which he had paid an instalment, and was to com-
plete the payment of the purchase-money on last Mon-
day. For this purpose he has been collecting his re-
sources, and being a person of an extremely cautious
disposition, was unwilling to trust his cath in any ban-
ker's
hands, but made a cupboard, which was in a small
closet adjoining his bed-room, the depository of it.—
There, as money came in, it was placed, until the re-
quired amount was completed. On Friday last the
sum was made up, and Mr. Crofts and his wife counted
on that day, principally in sovereigns, the sum of 1,6001.
The cupboard was fastened, and the closet door locked,
end was not opened until Monday morning, when Mr.
Crofts went to take out his money, but found, with
feelings which can be well imagined, that the cupboard
was broken open, and every shilling of his hard earn-
ings gone. The only one to whom any suspicion is
directed at present, is a person who lived at the King's
Head for the last month, who is stated to have been
very free and familiar in his manners, and inquisitive
unto the concerns of the house. This person left the
King's Head in rather an abrupt manner on Saturday,
and proceeded to Daver by the Magnet coach. He
had previously told another lodger in the house that he
[had a French passport, though he mentioned a different
Iroute to the landlord. On Saturday night, a man an-
sweting his description hired a boat at Dover to Calais,
and represented himself as a King's Messenger to the
boatmen. He was seen at Calais on Sunday morning.
An officer has been sent in pursuit of him.
' There is now at Exmouth, composed .entirely of
shells, a model of the Right Honourable Lord Rowes
new church, of the following dimensions : three feet
ten inches in length, two feet width, two feet two ditto
centre aisle, four feet six height tower ; the pinnacles
and other ornaments of the Church are in equal pro-
portion; it has been seen by Lord and Lady Itowz
and company. at Ilicton, and greatly admired for its
elegance and ingenuity of woi kmanship. •

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
. . . HUNTING. .•
•
Wednesday the Farnborough houthii, after a sharp burst with it
tire, roused an out-lying deer, which offered one of the bes!'nlis
over a strong Country this crack-pack ever had. The buck, after
going off in a most gallarit style, took a circuit of three miles, when
finding himself hard pressed, he made for the Park at Hound-street,
where, front the foil of the other deer, the hounds were for a time
at fault; but by the skill of the huntsman,-Mr. Richard Bridge.,
they were soon again laid on the right scent; and after a run of
three hours tei+it scarcely a Check, he was run in admirable style
into the parlih of Chet Wood. During the chase most of the sports-
men were throsin our, and the honour of the day war left to the
huntsman and four couple and a half of his hounds. Mr. Bridge
took a most tremendous leap during the tun; over a park-wall, and
neither whipper-in nor horseman dared to follow. In addition to
Mt. Ilorlocle-s foit-hounds, it is understood this pack will hunt,
within the same distance of Bath, the winter season.
