TIE BURMEsE.-A gentleman arrived
at Philadelphia in the New-England,
from Calcutta, informs that the steam
boat Enterprise passed them off Sangur
Island on the 4th of March, and reported
that the British army had reached Ava,
the capital of the Burmese kingdom,
and that Sir A. Campbell had sent in
word to the King, that unless the terms
contained 10 the treaty previously con-
cIuded with his generals, were acceded
to within "a hours, he would destroy
the city. 1t was presumed that this
would produce termination of the
war.
FRoM GREEcE.-It appears, says the
Austrian Observer. that Ibrahim's inten-
ton is to convey his troops towards the
Isthmus Of Corinth, by ascending the
Gulf of Lepanto. Thence his army
may, in two or three days march, reach
Napoli di Romani and commence the
siege, while the fleet, passing round the
peninsula, would undertake 10 blockade
il. The Seraskier will, it is said, march
upon Athens and invest its citadel, COM
bining his operations with those of the
Pacha of Negropont. The position of
Napoli, however, is so strong, that il
will not easily be carried. The citadel
is impregnable, and can only be reduced
by famine.
At the fall of Missolonghi, the Greeks
covered themselves with glory. After
having saluted, on the 22d of April, the
.tombs of Marco Botzaris, of Cyriaque,
and of Norman, they went to the
church, where they received absolution,
which was granted them by Joseph,
Bishop of Rogous, amid the tears of the
women and children. 1t was about ten
in the morning when this ceremony was
finished. They shared what remained
of the boiled roots, of fish and food, in
the city, and each held himself ready to
go forward aud die. An hour after
midnight, part Of the population and
its defenders went out of the place
they advanced in silence, but they could
not deceive the vigilance of the enemy,
who succeeded in grounding and de-
stroying them. At dawn,the Egyptians
penetrated the city---where, being
fred upon by the old men and the wo-
men who we're left behind, they perish.
ed in great numbers. At six in the
morning they forced the metropolis, and
mine which was exploded by the
Greeks, terminated one Of the most dis !
astrous events 10 modern history. We
are assured that Motifs Botzaris, and the !
Bishop of Rogous, are among those who
persisted in this dreadful confagration.
The punishments which have fallen on
the Christians who came alive into the |
power Of the Egyptians, surpass belief. |
Several have suffered cruci6xion, and
some have been burnt in slow fire. |
Children were thrown into the sea, as
was done at Chios.
There are still three or four fortress.
es In the hands Of the Greeks, which
will probably, at least, sustain a long
siege. II is said that Ibrahim Pacha did
not obtain so many prisoners at Misso-
longhi as he expected, and that he had
been under the necessity of ordering
the peasants 10 be put 20 death, tbat he
might procure the number of six thous-
and heads and pairs of ears, which the
Sultan had commanded him to send 10
Constantinople.
AT the last date, May Is, the army of
lbrahim, containing 2 1900 Egyptians. and
200 Turks, was near Patras, and an
