and OF sounding the disposition Of the people hghsr
up towards us-ln snort, Of feeling the why. Large
reinioreeDents are 90 DO despatched TO Raugoon,
both nom Madras and Bengal, aud il is stated by
weilinfOrned correspondents, that Gen. Goodwin s
intention is to move towards Ava in the beginning
Of November, leaving 600 men TO garrison Rangoon
arr 1900 men to occupy Prone, while ne himself
with 10 600 men will adv ance upon the capital Thi,
ia probable enough 1t is further stated, however,
that the advance will be by land but this by no means
seems to me probable as the former state nent.
The rivera in November will be Ia z very different
state from what they ere now; and those who know
the Irrawaddy say that there will then be water
enough for the largest steamers to 60 with safety
1t is difficult, under these crcurastances to believe
that the general will thus deprive himself Of tho
powerful aid Of the steam nctlla, besides expo,inc
the health of the troops TO unnecessary risk by
marching them in the very month when the exhala-
tions from the swampy soil of Pegn are most album
dant and injurious Many rumors are atoa. as 10
the aincompetepcy of General God|in; but TO the
rumoTs Of Indian newspapers, on such subjects, 1
attach crcdencc, and would recommend you to
do the same they may they may not be true.
But, whether truo or not, one step is about 10 DO
taken by the Governor General which, doubt not,
such is my confidence III the capacity and Judgment
OF that noble lord will result in rectfying whatever
may be amiss in cur Burmese arrangement. Lord
Dalbousie then to baye left Calcutta some time
between the l4th and 2lst Of this month for RAN
COON, where he will remain for some days. His
lordship will take with him suitable Official suite
and establishment; and his presence there will. n
doubt not. be of great benefit to British interests.
BY last adyices the Hon Conpany's steam. cato
FeroZe was daily expected at Calcutta to take his
lordship down to the seat Of war.
One of the steamers lltely engaged in the Bur-
mese war, the Honorable Company's steamer Ze-
nobia, commanded By Captain Ball, Left Moulnlein
for Madras, on the I4th OF june and nas not since
been heard Of BY last advices sac was twenty
four days overdue. 1t is surmised that she may
have been destroyed by ire, IT i kEo that he

The north. west frontier is QUOT, and it is stated
that the Monunds seeing tho folly Of attempt TO

sush tranquility that the minor reoei leaders, whc

two or three miles from their hoases have, in con

a recent letter from Nizams dcminions state
that his Highness IS still indebted u the Britis
government in the sum Of eighty laks Of rupee d

ply with the demand for payment, has been calle
upon to make portion Of his territory il Il
liquidation 1t is further stated that his Highnes.
has been censured for the bad state Of his govern
ment. Bad enough it certainly seems to be an
anarchy or annexation may be predicted p-ett
