The services of the Army lately employed against
the &lite of Alva, having been successfully ternenated
by the conclusion of an honourable peace dictated so
that Power, the Right Hoe. the Commander-in-Chief in
Indiamnbraces the happy occasion, to express to die
troops of his Majesty and of. the Hos. Company, from
the Presidefteies ef FM William alidiroit St. George,
wise wereoftlillyed in dselate wir, his bet thanki and
eeknowledgeasems for their highly prallevetwthy•emei
diet on every *erasion which resisted itself for dis-
tinguishing themselves.
Tke difficulties met with by the troops during the
progress of hostilities, in every quarter in which the
war was carried into the enemy s dowries, were of a
astute sat passing what has ever before been experienced
in India, while the baneful effects of the extremely
noxious ciimate in which the troops had to maintain
their positions, added to the severe' privations and
fatigues to which they were unavoidably ezposed
throughout the wh •le period of their service, have been
borne without a now nsur.
Owing to these causeso he losses sustained by the army
during two years of hostility, have been great beyond
example, and cannot be remembered without the deepest
sympathy and regret, whilst the zeal: us devotion and
fortitude manifested by those who have borne 'up
against such aggravated distresses, must ever tie a theme
of applause and aditiration.
His Excellency is also gratified in having to observe,
that.the condutt of the several corps and detachinemts,
on every occasios where the enemy gave them an op-
panel iity of engagrng,was fraught with that spirit of gil-
lantry and courage which ever disti ,guishes a British
soldier. and through whickuley invariably overpowered
and defeated the enemy ; the successful results of their
sal vices are to be appreciated by the terms upon which
the war has happily been brought 0 a etinclusion.

Adjutant-Gamed of the Amy:
At the second conference which was held between
the Burmese Chiefs and British Commissioners, a rather
awkward accident occurred. In consequence of the
carelessness of a Battiest in lighting a segar, an explo-
sion of gunpowder took place on the outtligger of the
boat, in which the meeting was held. The cecurrence
irritated the Chief; exceedingly, and the Maha Silwa
exclaimed, 64 cut his hand off," and after a short pau,e,
" cut his bead' off." Kalein Menghee ordered the cul-
prit to be produced, and he would probably have been
put to death. if Sir Archibald Campbell had not inter-
ceded in his behalf. As it was, the offender escaped
with a severe bastinado.
Another of those execrable exhibitions, called Settees,
took place near Calcutta, on the 10th of June last,
*ten two women were burnt with their deceased bus-
binds. We understand-from a Gentleman, who wit-
nessed the scene, that the sacrifice of the poor deluded

pile, only tbrekor four feet high. and laid themselves
down on the corpse; billets of wood were then thrown
upon them, and our correspondent thinks that, from
the weight and number of these. they could not have
