peTs 10 the evening OF the ZJth oil september,
elusive, with commercial letters shipping lists Sc
to the latest dates.
French Standardization of the late Eng
lish papers have expressed much alarm on account
OF the great number of workmen who had left Eng
land, and established themselves in the French
Manufactures. The alarm, however, appears to
be without foundation, for by the last arrival, we
learn from the .Hauiesfeid Herald, that although
there had been many attempts to establish manuac.
tories in France with English workmen, they have
nearly all failed from the unwingness OF the work
men TO remain, unless they We're paid exorbant
wages (double TO the amount paid in England y
The spirit oil enterprise in France is represented
being so feeble, that no danger is spprehended BY
the manufacturers of England.
Greek Script-A London morning paper of the
18Th Sept. states, that the holders OF this script
were panic-sruck on the 10Th, i'll consequence OF a
rumor, that all outward bound vessels, having arms
and ammunition, were ordered TO return Ii was
supposed that The order originated from desire
TO prevent such supplies from reaching the Greeks,
and the eagerness to sell Grecan securities reduced
the price per cent.
Burmese Wdr.-Our former accounts direct
from acutta TO this port, to the 23rd of Al r
containing some notices OF the capture of the capt.
tai OF Arracan, By the British L. !. troops. BY
the arrival last evening, we received the official
account OF that transaction; il commences thus;-

the exertions oil the south division of the
army should be crowned with complete SUGGEST
Arracan was yesterday taken, and the 10 900 men

army from the 24th of March to the Goth, on which
day there was some diminishing on the bank, oil

body OF the Burmese, who were posted in great
strength range of hills in front, strong by ma
ture and rendered still more so by their labours.
One pass alone led to the city, and that was de-
Tended by 5000 mu>kets and several pieces of ar

estimated at or 1900 men; and, to increa-e the

immense loss. and the city was entered-not, how
ever before the savage foe had taken every thing

Accounts from Bombay TO the 81 of May, have
been received at Liverpool They bring down the
operations OF Sir Archibald Campbell's division

That officer, who was advancing upon Prone, had
reIrogaded 90 miles, in consequence OF the cheek
received by Gen Cot.on's brigade at Donebew-
There junction was formed, and preparations
were made TO assault the place. The Burmese had
made two desperate series, but were repulsed
with loss. The attack on Douebew was intended
to be made on tie Sd of April--IO0 pieces OF ar
hllery had been collected for that purpose.
The GREEKs.-The affairs of the Greeks have
doubtless taken favourable turn, but to what ex-

morrow the Greek official account of the late de
