INDIA.

Calcutta Papers to the 21st :►larch furnish us with the
following details of the military operations carried on
by the army under the command of Sir Archibald
Campbe:l, previ .usly to the ratification of the treaty of
peace with the Burmese Monarch:
On the 25th January, Sir Archibald Campbell moved
from Mellon, the enemy flying before him, and no
opportunity occurred for some days of giving them a
further proof of British valour, except in the coming up
of Captain Ts ant, and a few of the body guard, upon
four hundred Burmese, whom they defeated and almost
annihilated.

On the 9th February, however, a mote splendid oc-
casion for displaying our superiority presented itself.—
The reconnoitring party sent ont on that day to survey
the road for next day's march, discovered the enemy
posted in strength about eight miles in front, in such a
position as to leave no doubt of his intention to dispute
our lirogTe,s. They were under the command of a
nephew of the late Bundoolah, who had promised to the
King, that if he would give him 16,000 men, he would
lead the English captives to the Golden Feet. Sir A.
Campbell immediately determined to attack the enemy
on the 10th, and with this view ordered Gen. Cotton to
march at reven o'clock that evening, so as to join him
next morning. A nine A.m. a few shots from the enemy
intimated their vicinity, and they were soon seen in
large bodies advancing o nlidtb flanks, and so compact as
to lead our troops to anticipate a very close engagement.
It was evident that they expected to overwhelm us
by their vast superiority in numbers. At this moment
Major Jackson arrived with orders to his Majesty's 13th
to attack the enemy on the right, and the 38th on the
kit of the road. The Burmese came on boldly at first,
with savage yells, and a discl.arge of musketry, vainly
imagining that the small number of the English would
Ise unable so resist them. The illusion was soon dis-
pelled, for the moment that the order was given a charge
In the most gallant style was made to the right and left,
and a truly British cheer soon drove the Burmese off
in every direction. The 38th, in pursuing, fell in with
a stockade, which was carried in au instant ; the enemy
were pursued to the jung!ra on the right,when the division
wheeling to the left, charged them in the jungle in that
direction, and joined the general body guard and horse
artillery, and then advanced again towards Pagam-mew.
-Near this the Burmese were found again posted, with
the intention of retrieving their character ; they were
again charged in double quick time, and again dispersed
in the utmost confusion, pursued by our troops into
their very works, leaving their standards, guns, and
stores, in our possession. It is said the enemy lost 1,000
men. Our loss was very trifling. The troops were en-
gaged five hours, and the battle ended at three o'clock.
Pagam mew is distant from Patanagoh 112 miles, and
from Ummerapoora 153.
The following is the General Order issued by Sir
Archibald Campbell, after the storming of Pagam-mew :
GENERAL ORDER.

"PAGAbt.usw, FROM M, 9, 1826.
NOVIDENCE has once more blessed with success
the British arms in this country, and in the decisive de-
feat of the imposing forte, posted tinder, and within, the
walls of Pagam-mew, the Major General recognises a
fresh display of the military virtues which have charac-
terized the troops from the commencement of this wars
Early cn this day, the enemy departing from the cautious
system of defence, behind field works and entrenchments)
which forms their usual device of war, and relying wt
their numerical superiority, and singular advantages of
gro rod, ventured on a succession of bold manse ivies, on
the flanks and fronts of the British columns. 'lois false
tor.fidence has been rebuked by a reverse, severe, signal,
and disastrous. Their troops, at either arm, were re-
pelled at every point, and their masses driven, in confu-
sion, within their city. The storm of Pagam mew
which followed, exhibited the same features of. intrepi-
dity and self-devotion. The frequency of these acts of
spirited soldiership on the part of his troops, renders it
difficult for the Major-General to vary the terms of his
Praise, but he offers to every officer and soldier engaged
This day, the tribute of his thanks, at once, with the
• affection of a Commander) and the cordiality of a
Comrades"
The follnwing is an extract from the Calcutta Govern-
ment Gazelle, of the 16th March:

CALCUTTA, niaCli 16.
Theism mission to the British headquarters, from the
Court of Ava, originated, it. is said, in the recommends..
tion of the High Pi iest,whose sacted characterhad given
weight to the tepiesentations made by him to the IC ng,
at the in•tigation of the Ministers. It appears that Dr.
Pi ice was not honoured by a personal commun. cation
with the King, such intercourse, limbs*, being con-
trary to Burman etiquette. He received his instt actions
fiom the Low°, or Great Council, through t ne of the
four IVongees, or Chief :Member s. of whom it consists.
This Minister expressed the King's earnest desire to enter
upon friendly ielati ns of the closest and most pet:sla-
t:eta natuie with the British Government, should peace
be concluded. The war, it seems, has made a great
attention in this respect in Burmese feeling, and the
incivility experienced by Symes and Cos, in their public
capacities, need not again be -apprehended. The capital
of Ava will, in all prolcibility, be as accessible to Eu
optAa. [IMAM AS that of a,►y civil zed nation. We

fanderstand that the Burmese are- more reluctant to
relinqui.h Arratan than any of the other Provinces, on
account of Its being the land of their pr•"genitors.
We are too 01 informed of the character of their
historical authorities to know what weight this plea is
entitled to, but we are well apprised that three centuries
ago Arracan wss kilistinct and powerful. kingdom and
that it remainfte independent until 1783, when it was
subjugated )(y the armies of Mindwajre. We may,
therefore, form our own estimate, of the value of this
objection.
We should have thought the Court of Ava would
have readily waived its claim on this province, as the
Arracan mountains present a defined boundary, which,
if intervening between the British and Birman posses-
sions, will much diminish the chance of future collision.
As to the power to pay the contributions exacted, which
we were one disposed to question, it seems that little
doubt on this bead need be entertained, although it has
been the policy of the present, and of preceding Go.
vernments, since Alompra, to attract as Much treasute
as possible to the Royal Treasury, and to suffer as little
as possible to come forth.

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Consols opened this morning at 791 for the Account, the same

a bargain has been done. There is a complete stagnation in the

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
Consols which were, at the commencement of the market, at
79j, remained steady at the above price till within this hour, when
they suddenly rose to 791 1 for the Account, and 791 j for money.
This rise is attributed to the scarcity of Afuney Stock.
In the Foreign market there has been a fluctuation in Mexican
Bonds—a: the opening of the market they were done at 521, since
which they have got up to 531 i.
Both the Consol and Foreign markets 'have a good appearance,
and-look firm at present.

Frankfort, German, and Dutch Papers to the 7th inst•
have been received. It appears that nothing has oc-
curred to justify the suspicions of an explosion at Con-
stantinople. The day is not yet fixed for the Coronation
at St. Petersburg. The following are extracts :

FROM THE MAINE. Bmuii;s 5.

We learn that the Viscount Repaid, Minister from Brazil to
the Austrian Court, has arrived at Vienna.

The Austrian Government has given notice to the City of Sale-
burg, that it is raised to the rant of a fortress of the first class, cud
that the necessary sums are already assigned for the purpose of
erecting the fortifications that will be required.
