OVERLAND MAIL

' The following dispatch, dated Feb. 29, from Trieste,
has been received in anticipation of the Overland Mail :
BOMBAY, FEB. 3.—The Burmese war had commenced.
The new Viceroy at Rangoon, on the 4th of January,
refused to receive any deputations from the British Com-
mander, and had forbidden communication between the
shore and the vessels, had insulted the British flag, and
erected batteries and stockades below the town, to pre-
vent the departure of any of the vessels there. The
Commander proclaimed a blockade of the mouths of the
Irawady, on the 9th. The Viceroy wrote to the Com-
mander to allow the passage of the river. He had set fire
to the batteries mentioned. The ships were attacked by
the batteries in passing. They replied to the fire, de-
stroyed the fortifications, and killed 300 persons.
