Every article OF intelligence received from India
furnishes additional evidence that the Burmese
war is destined 10 become more dangerous in its
character and dubious in its result. Before the
empire Of Bunnah is added TO the already over
grown and gigantic possessions of the king of
Great Britain, many lives will be lost and cities
laid in ashes. The following intelligence ser es
only to confirm the testimony already afforded, that
Burmah will be the rallying power around which
the subjueated nations Of India will assemble 10
throw off the chains of English Tyranny. The
English do not find their ancient enemies 10 be what
they when their first conquests were made
They have been hardened in the school of ADVERSE
ty, rendered intrepid by constant exposure to
danger, and have been taught by their prosecutors
prompitude, courage and discipline in military
movements.
CALCUTTA, Dec. 23.-The following is an ex-
tract of letter from Rangoon, dated the nsth
instant.
Since last wrote, we have been besieged
here by the great Bandola, with 10000 men, the
details ofthe sege you will see by the despatch -
/ do not know when or where we shall 20 next
They 1.-THE British forces appear determined to
advance from Rangoon, and now only wait for
cattle, carts, and followers, and even then think
they will meet with great many obstacles in their
way, and the Bandola's army though defeated will
sockade themselves every half mile OF the road. II
Is the general opinion here, that they will not be
able TO advance farther than Prone this season."

Sante Fe-An expedition to the interior pro-
vinces of Mexico is about fitting out from this
neighborhood. We are told that the company is to
be composed of 10 or so young and middle aged
men, and that nearly that number is already raised,
most OF whom, from habits of experience, are well
fitted to endure the fagues and hardships incident
to such journey. About $50, 900 are already in
vested in dry goods, which to be transported to
Santa Fe, their place of destination, and there ex-
changed for specie. The scheme is truly an en-
terprisng one, and wish the undertskers success

felt unwilling to part. l felt that in returning to
Scotland, was going, as it were, to strange land
my parents, and brothers, and sisters, were dead,
and, after so long an absence, the few friends of
my youth who still remained would in all probabili-
ty have forgotten me- But in spite of all this,
felt something within me which prompted me to
revisit the scenes Of my youth, and though nearly
sixty, confess had desire to see once more nv
first, my only love, my dear Mary. To say loved
her would be nonsense; love will seldom survive a
separation of forty years but still thought of her
with tenderness, and IN revsiting my native coun-
try, she was the only one whom felt happy at the
thought of seeing,-the only one who, expected,
would be happy again to see Like me, she
could never again loye,--lke me- she was still un-
m9rried. At length returned to Scotland.
The feelings of youth had long been Gained by
age, and reached my native place without those
agitating but delightful emotions which many will
imagine the sight of home was so calculated to pro-

grief had felt when left it. Ave, all are gone,

known as young men, were now strangely metamor-
phosed into grave-looking gentlemen, with grow
ing-up families, and many of them with grand-chil-
dren. Such as they were, however, was glad to
meet with them though often could not help
wondering that they looked so old.
The town ITSELF too, seemed no longer the same
had left behind me. Magnificent buildings had
succeeded to old-fashoned habitatons and the
fields which used to shoot were now loaded
with dwellings, like palaces. 1t was the proof of
the prosperity of the place. and yet was half angry
at the alteration. Had been magician, should
have restored the town to the state | remembered
it to have been in forty years before.

Looking about me, soon discovered old friends

There was but one new one. 1t was the landscape

half finished, exactly as had last seen it, At the
other side of the room the portrait of youthful
and beautiful face, which l at once recognized to
be Mays. I could scarcely help thinking that all
that had passed for the last forty years nothing
but a troubled dream, SO completely did the scene

In short time the door opened, and my heart

The old ladys face flushed as she approached,

her last but making respectful bow, congratu-

after Mary. The old lady smiled "Indeec, Will
