KINGDOM Or AI/A.—Extract of a private letter from

an Officer, dated Camp, Wetmachooti, Jan. 80, 1826 ,
" I bad the pleasure of addressing you from Prome,
previously to our taking the field the second time; since
then, on the 2d December last, we drove the enemy from
their strong hold, without much loss on either side.—
After that they fell back on Malown, where we drove
them from again on the 19th inst. with considerable
loss on the part of the enemy. Our loss was trifling;
my company, the Grenadiers, being the leading divi-
sion, suffered. Our European force, lam sorry to say,
is dwindled away very much. The 38th landed at
Rangoon with upwards of 1,000 fighting men, and we
cannot now bring into the field more than 230."

degree, have been since felt at intervals. The damage
occasioned is very severe. Two Churches situated on
the summits of the mountains,LGuadaloupe and Mont-
serrat, (1,800 feet above the town), have been, the one
partially, the other entirely, thrown down. Many of
the convent walls have also fallen, and every house in
the city sustained more or less damage, many being
rerldered entirely untenant.ble.
On the morning of the 19th inst. a Gentleman, ac-

taking the gun out of the gig, it unfortunately went of,
Ind wounded him so severely, that although medical
assistance was promptly procured, the lad died next
morning.
