This forenoon a Supplement to the London Gazelle
was published, containing the Dispatches we gave yes-
terday, and a series of others received at the India
Board, which complete the account of the operations,
against the Burmese up to the 16th of June. Of these
dispatches, which are at great length, we can only give'
a summary. The first letters relate to the capture of
Shapuree by a Burmese forceon the 24th of September,
1823, and its recapture by our troops on the 21st of
November. Then there is a dispatch from Major
NEWTON, dated the 18th of January, containing the de-
tails of an action on the 17th, with four thousand Bur-
mese and Assamese, who had stockaded themselves at
the village of Bickrampore: the enemy was defeated
with the loss of 185 men. Our loss was six sepoys
killed, and thirteen wounded.

In Febtuary, the Burmese advanced on Budderpore,
where Capt. JOHNSTON, of the 23d Regiment, was sta-
tioned ; he immediately prepared to attack them, and
disloige them from the positions they had taken, within
a thousand yards of our post, and where they began to
construct five stockades. On reaching the first stockade,
the enemy fired upon the leading sections, who ascended
the height, and instantly drove the enemy with the
bayonet from the stockade, and rapidly followed them
up, without giving them time to rally, when every
stockade was carried in a gallant manner. Our loss
was only one jemadar of the Ist battalion of the 10th
Regiment killed, and about thitty sepoys wounded, Pt in-
cipally by spikes and bows set in the ground to impede
the advance of the detachment.

While these operations were going on, Major NEW-
TON took possession of tie stockades at Juttrapore,
which the enemy abandoned; and Lieutenant•Colorfel
Bowen attacked the Burmese Chiefs, who had concen-
trated their forces, and taken up a position under the
Berteaka Pass; they were strongly posted in two stock-
ades, on the left bank of the Jeltingly River, which
was not fordable except :by means of elephants, on
the backs of which a detachment was conveyed across
the river, and the stockades carried in the most gal-
lant manner.

" From all the accounts which have reached me,"
says Colonel lloweN, ." and from the number and ex-
tent of the stockade; they had constructed, I cannot
estimate the number of the enemy in this affair at less
tinur tive thousand, of whom the greater part are sup-
posed to be Assarrese, and the remainder Burmahs
their dispersion and flight towards the hills (in the
greatest disorder and confusion) and passes into Assam,
the capture of all their standards, gingals, and eight
gilt chattahs, are the fruits of this affair."
This was on the 18th of February ; on the 21st there
was another gallant affair, but not with equal success,
at Doodpatlee ; and attended with the loss of Lieute.
nant A. B. ARNISTRONG, of the Ist battalion lOth Re-
giment of Native Infantry, who was killed in action
with the Burmese on the 21st instant, at Doodpatlee ;
this valuable Officer was shot at the Iread of the grena-
diers among the stakes and spring-guns, which were
planted all round the enemy's stockades ontsiy,le for a
distance of from twenty to thirty yards, concealed for
the most part in long grass. Lieutenant-Colonel Bower.;
and Captai:4 JOHNSTON were also wounded, the lat-
ter severely.
The next dispatch is from igadier-General Sir
A RCHIBALO CAMPBELL, and is dated Rangoon, the
12th of May. It contains an account of the military
and naval operations against the island of Cheduba, the
island of Negrais, and Rangoon, which was reduced on
the 16th of May. The rapidity of the movement on
Rangoon threw the inhabitants into the utmost conster-
nation, and they did not make much defence. The
Member, of Government fled at the first shot, carrying
with them seven out of eleven Etnopeans whom they
had or eied to be imprisoned and put in irons. On
the arrival of our troops, in their hurry three were lef,

-

in the King's godown, whose irons wove filed off by the'
troops on entering the town:.
.When actually in possession 4 theActen, MI :Hoven:,
an American Missionary, releasid 'Awn irons for the.
purpose, accompanied by a Burmese,' went on board
the LIFFEY, deleg4ted by the Raywoon and other Mem-
bers of Government (then seme miles off in the jungle),
to entreat that the firing might cease, and to ask what
terms would be given to them? hinting that they had
seven Englishmen out with them in irons, whose fate
would' iirobably depend upon the answer they re-
ceived. The Commodore and the Brigadier-General
told them, that it -was too late to ask, for terms, as
the place was then in our possession; protection to per.
sons and property was all they bad to expect, and
even that promise would not.be confirmed to them until
the prisoners were released and given up, warning them,
that if they dated to injure them, or put one of them to
death, file and sword should revenge the atrocious deed
over the face of the N hole country. The messengers left,
promising to return as soon as possible ; but neither
the Raywoon nor his adherents could again be found,
fear having driven them still farther into the country.
General CAMPBELL remained in great anxiety for the
fate of our countrymen during the night; but early
next morning, in pushing forward some reconnoitring
' parties, the whole seven were found safe in different
places of confinement, strongly fettered, their guards
having fled at our approach.

The enemy afterwards concentrated their forces at
the village of Killyendine, from which they were
driven on the 16th of May, with the loss, on our part,
of Lieutenant THOMAS KERR, of the 38th Regiment,
and one private killed, and nine privates wounded.
Lieutenant WILKINSON was also severely wounded,
with eight or nine of his crew. In these several actions
a large quantity of ordnance was captured.
The detachment sent against Negrais returned to
head-quarters, as it is not calculated for a military
post, and though captured was abandoned as not capa-
ble of being made defensible by the Burmese. These
details bring up the operations to -the date of General
CAMPBELL'S dispatches, inserted in the STAR of yester-
day. Of the character of the enemy, our Readers will be
enabled to 'judge by the following extract from one of
General CAMPBELL'S dispatches—m Every act of the,
enemy"he says, if eviaces a most marked determination
of carrying hostility to the very last extremity; approach-
ing our posts day and night, under cover of an imper-
vious and incombustible jungle; constructing stockades
and redoubts on every road and pathway, even within
musket•shot of our sentries, and from these hidden fast-
nesses carrying on a most barbarous and harassing war-
fat e ; firing upon our sentries at all hours of the night,
and lurking on the outskirts of the jungle, for the pur-
pose of carrying off any unlucky wretch whom chance
may throw in their way."

An enemy of this character, who is also formidable
in numbers, is not to be despised ; and considering the
force sent against the Burmese, it must be admitted
that our troops have been skilfully commanded, and
have acted with the most determined bravery. In the
operations against Rangoon, much valuable assistance
was received from his Majesty's ship LIFFEY, Com-
modore GRANT.

The following is a List of Persons imprisoned and placed in Irons
by the Burmese Government at Rangoon, on the approach of
the British Army, for the purpose of being put to Death :
Barrum.—Mcssrs. J. Snowball, J. Turner, Wm. Roy, Alex.
Tench, 11. W. Thompson, R. T. Trill, and R. Wyatt.
Mr. G. H. Roys, country born; Mr. Arratoon, an Armenian;
Mr. P. Aide, a Greek; Rev. J. Wade, an American Missionary;
Rev. Hough, an American Missionary, taken out of irons, and
sent by the Burmese on board the Liffey, to brg the firing, &c.
might cease.

The following is a list of the killed and wounded in
these several actions.

German Papers to the 16th inst. reached us this fore-
noon, but they contain little intelligence of importance
to an English reader. Walls and fetes have been given
at Vienna, in honour of the King and Queen of BAVA-
RIA ; and it is again stated that there will be a conven-
tion to determine the commercial relations between
several States of the south-west of Germany, on the
basis of reciprocal freedom of trade.
It has already been stated, that some of the Conti-
nental Powers have reciprocally abolished the Impost
called broil de Detraction payable on the transfer of
property from one country to the heirs or other clai-
mants in another country. This relic of barbarous
legislation is rapidly disappearing; and we find that,
in consequence of the Russian Ukase of the 14th of
June, 1823, decreeing the abolition in regard to all
countries which adinitted the principle of reciprocity,

The frost was so severe in Edinburgh on Friday se'n-
night, that the confectioners were able on the next day to obtain
their first supply of ice.
LORD BYRON'S CONVERSATIONS.—The Literary Public
will be glad to hear that the new Edition of this interesting Work,
though very beautifully got up, is printed in a more compressed
form than its predecessors, and is, therefore, published at so mode-
rate a price as to be within the purchase of all the reading classes.
CONSECRATION Or ALL SOULS' CHURCH, IN LANG-
HAM-PLACE.—This morning, the ceremony of Conse-
cration of the above Church wal performed, by the
Right Rev. the Bishop of LONDON, with solemn
grandeur. At ten o'clock the company began to arrive,
and were admitted by tickets, and by eleven, the body
of the Church and the galleries were crowded almost to
suffocation. Soon after ten the Bishop arrived, and was
met at the great Western-deor by Sir C. ROBINSON, his
Chancellor, Archdeacons, and a number pf the Clergy.
The ceremony of consecration having been performed,
the children sang an appropriate anthem ; an excellent
sermon was afterwards delivered by the Minister, the
Rev. JOSEPH Hums SPEY, after which the company
dispersed. Amongst the gentry present, we noticed the
Rev. Archdeacon CAMBRIDGE; the Rev. Mr. BOUSTIELD,
Lecturer at Mary-la-bonne Church; Rev. BASIL WOOD,
of Bentinck Chapel; Sir Wu. PEPYS, and Sir ROBERT
PlGou.—A vast number of Ladies and Gentlemen were
obliged to return, the Church being so crowded.
This morning the sentence of death was carried
into effect in the Old Bailey, upon Joseph Harwood,
aged eighteen years, for a highway robbery, attended
with circumstances of peculiar desperation and atrocity.
This prisoner was tried on the last day of the September
Sessions. It appeared, from the evidence on the trial,
that a man named Michael Sheen, a tailor, residing at
Barnes,was at the review of cavalry on Hounslow Heath,
oh the 7th July last, and At the conclusion of the review,
went into a booth, where he was attacked by a gang,
with whom was the prisoner, who robbed him of his
coat, waistcoat, and money, and beat bins in a dread-
fully brutal manner. The prisoner was taken the same
night, and upon the cleat est testimony was convicted,
and, without recommendation to mercy, left to Isis fate.
Since that time, he has made unceasing declarations that
he knew not one of the gang, but was casually thrown
amongst them at the review, and benefitted nothing by
the robbery. Since his condemnation, his demeanour
has been marked by contrite and apparently penitent
feelings. His father, and some of his family have visited
him. This morning, at halfipast seven o'clock, Mr. Al-
dermal BROWN, and Mr. Alderman KEY, the Sheriffs,
with their attendants, arrived at the gaol, and found the
culprit praying with great fervour in the Press-yard.--
After a pause, he was pinioned and led to the scaffold,
the Rev. Oldinary reading the Burial Service. At eight
o'clock he ascended the drop firmly ; and after a few
minutes spent in ejaculatory prayer, the drop fell, which
-closed Use world's seen.: on him tot ever.
