FROM THE CALCUTTA JOHN NULL, MARCH 22.

A letter we have been favoured with, of which the
following is an extract, gives a forcible idea of the dif-
ficulties encountered by the Cachar force:
" CAMAS, BIARCII 11.
" The state of the road through the forest now beg-
gars all attempt at description; the rain which fell du-
ring .February made it so soft, the cattle sunk and
could not extricate themselves without assistance. At-
tempts were made to repair the road by putting grass
and reeds over the worst places; in the meantime, we
have had several successive days of heavy rain, which
has made it infinitely worse. The necessity of supplying
the Local Battalion and pioneers with pro#isfns became
daily more urgent; and as many of the elerthanto-were
already done up, and about SOO Bunjarrah bullocks lost
in the mud, a supply was sent forward by the Coolies,
a thousand are said to have been sent, out of which
only 250 reached their destination. It is most distress-
ing to the poor Bunjarrahs—it solisciptseeo to be ade-
quately felt. Fancy the bullocks-ttp to their backs in
a quagmire ; some that succeeded in throwing their
loads, struggled out of the mud, and only escaped a
miry grave to die on the road-side.
" Many elephants, public as well as private, have
been lost. No means that could be devised, in such wea-
ther, would be of any avail. Troops accompanied,by
artillery and dependent on cattle for the carriage of
their supplies, cannot move, after such a deluge of rain.
A fen; days ago the weather cleared up, and held out
the most flattering prospect of enabling us to cross the
forest—when, suddenly the weather changed and rained
incessantly. There is yet a month or six weeks before
the regular rains set in, during which it is barely possi-
ble to reach Munnipoor lightly equipped ;—the thing
seems quite out of the question with a force on the pre-
sent scale. The 16th Locals are near to a place called
Noonshy, beyond the forest; the pioneers are repairing
the damage done by the heavy rain • and the third
brigade, Blair's Horse Artillery, and the Head Quar-
ters, remain at Banskandy. The loss in elephants has
been very severe to individuals who have preceded the
third brigade. The weather to-day promises to clear
up, but it will require a considerable time of dry wea-
ther to make the road passable."
FEB. 23.—The following is the substance of intelli-
gence obtained at Lyne, regarding the distribution of
the enemy's forces, from two Burmese prisoners :
Nanieealay says he is an inhabitant of Punzindoon,
from whence he ran on the English arriving at Ran-
goon; that whilst staying at Bholah, four days ago, 50
men arrived there on their way to join the Chekeya
Whoon at Pegu, with orders from Bundoola to return
with his force, and rejoin him at Denoobew. Heard
that there are 600 men at Pegu with the Chekeya
Whoon, and 2,000 or 3,000 with Bundoola, at 13.1190bew,
bew, fighting men; has not been there himself; but
hears there are very few guns, and a large proportion
of muskets ; heard of our advance when at Bholah,
four days ago, and that Maha fl lwah bad gone off to
the eastward, but knows not to what place; heard of
Paulang being taken three days since, and with little
resistance. The Kee Woongee had retreated to Naizlie,
half way to Yangain Chena. The garrison of Paulang
fled in great disorder, leaving everything behind them :
knows not if there were any guns. The prisoner in-
tended to have gone to Pegu with 50 men, sent by
Bundoola, in search of his wife and family.
Neene-auhoo says he was proceeding (to find his wife
and family) with a Chief and fifty men sent by Bun-
doola to Pegn, four days ago, for the purpose of re-
call.ng the Chekeya Whoon, who proceeded thither two
months ago, with 600 or 700 men. Two days before
he left Denoobew, 400 infantry and 100 horsemen were
dispatched by Bundoola to this place, and he under.
stands they ate now at a Carian village, called
Amawhe, 8 miles hence. Bundoola has upwards of
16,000 fighting men with him, and from 40 to 50 guns,
100 jinjals, and 10.000 muskets. The defences kt
Denoobew consist of a timber stockade, vonposed of
very large round timbers planted in a double row (one
close behind the other), each three deep; a dry ditch
round the land faces, about seventy-two fret broad,
and from ten to twelve deep; not quite. finished.—
Had heard of the advance of the English towards
Lyne, and in consequence the party befoiernentioned

In the Foreign Market nothing is doing, except in settling Ac-

It is our p sinful duty to announce a melancholy and
fatal accident which occurred yesterday, just before the
launch of the PRINCRSS CHAftLorrg, 110 guns, at Potts-
mouth. Tne workmen of the yard, under the direction
of the Shipwright Officers, haJ been preparing the bason
for the reception of the ship, as soon as ehe should have
been launched ; but the tide being unusually high; the
gates of the Dock unfortunately gave way, and swept
a number of people, who were either passing, or stand-
ing on the bridge as wectatots, into the has-44 and
