March 6.

Since our laTt we have north western journals
of' the 20th and 23d ult. -•. s:aro o.oe gratifying features
r in' 'ligence from the •.. •,....z.re of the Indus. Lieut.
we are asi:11:••1, ai;ustud his personal mis-
un.—r...t,..iing with '.sritish influence is once
more in the aseenda;it kt..!..at; while, at the same time,
the Russian envoy has fo-or.d is empedient to retire from Can-
debar. We regret to that the bride of boats across
the Indus had partially given way anal several camels had
been carried off. The namber of these animals accompany-
ing the army is inn:lel-lie ; 1,5,0C',0 bearing the commissariat
:;ores, had assembled to cress the bridge, and another thou-
sand purchased at Nr.sserahad, had set out, through the
desert, to ovt:--.-take tte force. Ey a letter in the Delhi Ga-
zette, dated two :larches &ern Bukkur, on the way to Hyder-
abad, we are infJrineti that there is not a town or village in
that district in which an able-bodied male adult remains.
This appears to us confimatory of the fact recorded in our
last, on the authority of a private letter, that, in various
parts of Scicde, there are numerous bodies of men assem-
bled. Shah Soojah has, we perceive, already struck a blow,
though it cannot be called a very glorious one. Finding that
Larkanee, a town about 50 miles south-west from Shikarpore,
was unprotected, owing to the absence of its male inhabi-
tants, he sacked cod plundered it, obtaining, we believe, a
considerable booty. The surrender of Bukkur was, it seems,
a much snore serious affair than we had reckoned upon ; it
will be seen that all the preparations had been made for an
actual assault, and that it was only at the moment fixed upon
for its execution that the fortress was abandoned to us by its
occupants. The govemor-general, we perceive, intended to
have left Delhi upon the 21st ult., for Simla, proceeding via
Kurnaul. We transfer to our columns the - interesting
details relative to the last illness and death of General
Allard.

We have received the Calcutta journals of the 19th, 20th,
21st, and 22nd ult. The Englishman announces that, besides
the six steamers announced for the Indus, of which we were
enabled to inform our readers some weeks since, three are,
likewise, to be sent out for the Euphrates navigation. The
most important news supplied by the Bengal journals is that
relative to the outbreak of a revolutionary movement in
Burmah. The insurgents, at whose head is the nephew of
Tharawaddie, are said to he favourably disposed to the
British alliance. The usurper, we are told, is determined to
destroy every thing before him in his retreat, should a Bri-
tish army advance beyond Rangoon. The advice is probably
suggested by the " derni-tiiplomatist from Russia," who, we
are informed, is still at this court.

The Madras Journals of the 22d, 23d, 25th, and 26th ul-
timo, have reached us. It will be seen by our extracts that
military stores are being busily despatched to Burmah. Cer-
tain suspicious strangers haVe been arrested by the authori-
ties in Madras, -and are supposed, by our contemporaries, to
be spies.
We have just seen a letter from Lieutenant Pottinger,
dated Herat, January 17, 183 g. All doubt is, we are happy
to say, removed, relative to tie friendly intercourse which at
present exists between Prince Kamran and the gallant officer.
The Heratees have retaken Farrah; the Khan;.ialiarees inwe
retreated from that place. • -
