VIA'CFXXFS, may 14, 1825. A rumor readied town yesterday, said to liave been brought by a passenger in the Patriot, from New Orleans, Urn a revolution had taken place at Havana, and that the inhabitants of the island had declared themselves independent. Public idvertizer. Domestic Manufactures. This morning we were show n a box of miniature cutlery, manufactured in this city by Mr. S. Pooley, and which is intended to be presented to president Adams. The box contains one complete dinner set of knives and forks, consisting of twelve table knives, twcle forks lor do.; two pair of cat ving forks for do ; two s eels, 12 dcsart knives forks tor do with pearl handles carved in diamonds; 9 miscellaneous table knives, 4 forks, 2 small razors with pearl handles, 2 of a larger size with near! do.; I pair of scissots, not

The city of Santa M nira, (Ionian Islands), has been rendctcd uninhabitable' by an earthquake. Thousands of persons w ere reduced to beggary bv the destruction of pi'i;erty: but, as the earthquake happened in the day time, it d cs not appear that more than about fifty lives w ere lost. The city is a heap ci ruins. The Turks arc reported to be making prodigious efforts to overwhelm the Greeks. The ensuing campaign will probably be fatal to one of the parties. The holy allies are exceedingly both ercd by the conduct of Great Britain, in acknowledging . the independence of the new American Republics. The French troops, however, in Spain, and the Austri aii, in Naples, keep those countries in due subjection! and one continent may remain in chains though the other shail be free, on account of its location and the British navy now, perhaps, for theirs time, conducive to human liberty. Russia, France and Great Biitain, are increasing their armies. Suspicion is Avtde awak but nothing has happened to lead us to suppose what precise reason their is for military preparation. Paris Frb: 27. The Journal dn ComTnerce announces to day, that a fleet of three ships nf the line, and fourteen other ships or 'vur, is ready to sail from Toulon. This fleet will sail the 20th March, and cruse in the Archipelago, as a squadron of obscivation This circum stance, added to the diplomatic conferences at Puis gave rise, says the Journal, to many conjectures. Accounts fiom Corfu state, that twenfive Egyptian trsnsporis, with troops, horses and provisions, h id been captured by the Greeks off Rhodes. Constantinople -vrismurh agis ted by an 'attempt of the Janissaiie-i to change the go eminent which did not succeed. Turkey, however; is in a vcy unceitain and unsettled condition. Nile's Register
Jfrzr w India. A Moody battle was
fought :-t Rangoon in December last be
tween the British forces and the tioops
of t'e Burnian Umpire, the latter esti
rnatcd at 6 000. The battle lasted 7 divs, bv land and water. The loss of the natives is estima'cd at 5000 men and 24P out T nieces ordnance. The Bitish Ions was inconsiderable. The who'c Burmese coast was subject to the British at the last accounts. THE BURMESE WAR. The war between the British and the Burmese appear to invohe more serious consequences, than could have possibly entered into the calculation of the former, Avhen tl-cv imdcrtock the reduction of that In l'un rmp'uc It may be neccssaIV, before wc enumerate the facts disclosed by the late arrivals, to make one geneial rcmak. that the only hope which the English can possibly entertain, of presorting their provinces in India, springs fiom tin fi.lelity of the native troops enbsted in their service The immense dicnvo,)ortion between the Indtan and Etui'ish population, desf ovs all possible hope of retaining possesM. n of that immense region, if the natiu troops swerve from then Fidt litv. A a frightful evidence of t' is disaffection, we learn that Mr Ed. Paget, the commander in chief of the troops assembling against the Burmese, having proceeded, on the
1st of November, with a guard of the royals and the Dumdun artillery, to Ba rackpore, in giving orders for the Srapoys to march, they refused. Sir Edward gave them ten minutes to consider, at the expiration of which petiod, they still refused. He then gave orders to fire upon them, when 450 were killed, and 150 wounded. Some accounts say, that the number killed is overated, and this may be the fact, but be the number more or less, that it has created much alarm, is evident from the following paragraph; Frm the London Times, March 11. The intelligence from India is altogether of an alarming complexion, though we have no doubt the prompt measures adopted to suppress the mutiny will, for the present, secure the obedience of the troops. But we cannot help regretting that the Burmese war should ever have been undertaken. The utmost success would not have reconciled us to it, for, with that success, extension of territory is necessarily connected. As it is, however, the disasters
which have befallen us, and which have originated in the imbecility and want of foresight of those at the head of the Indian government, may be attended with the most serious consequences. Another paper, after speaking of this mutiny, and its consequences, goes on to remark. We arc not, however, surprised at the general alarm which has been excited by the late intelligence from Calcutta. Upon the fidelity, zeal and attachment of the native army, the existence of the British Empire in India, must principally
it not wholly depend; and when it is recollected that the amount of that army considerably exceeds 200,000 men, it will be obvious that any ;dca of supplying its place, much mote of controlling and overawing it, if any general dissatisfaction prevailed in its ranks, by a force sent from this country, would be absurd and impracticable. We will conclude with the following extract from a Calcutta miner : Wo.
i understand it is generally supposed, that the troops will not move up till the 1st of December, and they will proceed by land and water. About 200 of his majesty's 41st regiment, have gone to Martaban and an expedition against Pegu, was expected to be despatched in about ten days. There is a rumor that the king's brother intends to oppose the advance of the army, with a force consisting of from 80 to 100,000 men. He was stated to be at D-.mnerbue, about 50 or 60 miles up the river, but as cavalry and horse artillery were to accompany the army, there were no apprehensions for the result. No' with standing the disaster in the breach of one of the s'ockades, as mentioned in the dispatches, private letters state, that they, (the stoekndes) are no longer looked on as places of defence or security It is understood at Rangoon, that sir Archibald Campbell is political agent, and sole commissioner. A strange story was afloat, tha had not the army at Rangoon astonished and confounded the Burmese government, it was the full intention of the la'ter to push an immense army onto Calcutta.
