About halt-past eight o'clock we discovered and attacked the army under the personal command of the Meer Shore Mahomed, counting; of men of all anna, strongly posted behind one ot those large nullahs by which this country is interested in all directions. After a combat of about three hours the enemy was wholly defeated with considerable sbnnrhtor, and the loss of nil his atuudards anil cannon. His position was nearly straight line the nullah' was formed by two deeyi parallel ditches, one '20 tee wide and lost deep, the other 40 feet wido aud 17 deep, which had bten far a.

long distance reshly scarped, and a banquette made behind the bank expressly for the occasion. To ascertain the exteut of his line was extremely difficult, us his left did not appear to be satisfactorily dunned, but h-brgan uioviusr to his right when he perceived that the British lort'-i outflanked him in that direction. Believiug th.a litis movement had drawn him from that part of the nullah which hud been prepared for defence, 1 hoped to attack his right with less aifrleulty, aud Major Leslie's troop of horse artillery was ordered to move forward aud endeavour to rake the nullah, the 0th Light Cavalry aud Punnuli Horse advancing in Hue, on the lelt of the artillery, which i supported on the right by her Majesty's. 241 the latter being-, however, ut first considerably retired to admit of the o'j1iiub lire of Leslie's troop. The whole of the artillery now opened upon the, enemy's position, aud the British Hue advanced in echcllous from the left, her Majesty's Ht-gimont leading the attack, Tim enemy as now perceived to move from his centre lu considerable bodies to his left, apparently retreating, unable to sustain the cross-lire of the British artillery on seems which Stuck, nc the head of the ad Cavalry, under of Capt.

This bmvu battalion marched mi to the nullah under heavy lire of matchlocks, without returning a shot till within 10 paces of thu entrenchment, and then stormed it like British soldiers. The intrepid Lieutenant Coute iij-st mounted the rampart, seized one of enemy's standards, and was severely wounded while naviug it aud eh'eriug ou his men.

Meanwhile thu Puonah Horse, under Captain Tait, and the Oth Cavalry, under Major Storey, turned the enemy's right flunk, pursuing aud cuttiiitr down vlie fugitives for several miles.

It consisted olthe 25th, '21st, and Regiments, uuder thu command of Captains ich-oii, Stevens, aud Fisher, respectively.

Lieut.

PROM OUR OWN The favourable reception of the decrees published a few days back by M.

Mendizabal, and noticed in my last letter, has been complete in Madrid. Even his political opponents, acknowledge tbe moral courage, comprehensive views, and peculiar fitness of M. Mendizabal's measures to the circumstances of the moment. The hopes oi the coalitionists are now consequently centred in the provinces. In the capital they have nothing to expect.

The onlv place which has yet responded to their trtasonabl'e wishes iu the city oi' Malaga, from which there was a courier yesterday, with' intelligence that a revolutionary juula, presided over by the municipal authorities, had been established there. The governor and few troops stationed there, are understood to have joined with the corporate revolutionists. Commissioners are also said to have been sent by the insurgents to the various towns of Audaluda, inviting them to follow the example of Malaga-We ure still without details but little importance is at- taciieu to tne anair here. The revolutions of Malaga usually have for their object, the landing of some bales of English cotton goods aud American tobacco; and when this point Is attained, the good people of that city are content to smoke their cigars and return to their allegiance. A military man of confidence was sent there last night by the government, with orders for troops' fo march on the place.

Juntas of Andalusia, more formidable than that ol Malaga at present, were disposed of before by Mendizabal. I presume be will have as little difficulty on this occasion. Up to the hour at which I write (nine o'clock, p.m.) the news from tbe other provinces ia satisfactory. No outbreaks are reported in any of them. It is, however, but natural to expect local or partial disturbances from tho labours of me voantionistB, wuo, deteated by the laws, fly fur rovengo to insurrection, M.

Cortina, M. Mudoz, and M. Miranda have resigned their respective commands in the national guard of Madrid. The coalition jourunU', with all the coolness possible, say that the resignations were purely voluntary. Every one knows, on the contrary, that these gentlemen gave up their commissions iu consequence of tbe feeling existing Bgainat tbem in the battalions to which they belonged.

The very Aguedores and Mows de Ccrdel now talk of the CongreBB conspiracy against the Regent precisely in the Bamo way as of the insurrection of the 7th of October. No wonder the French papers lent their aid (o the Lopez cabinet, Every one now will understand the reason. The report spread in the Bolsa. yesterday, that Saragoaea had risen, turns out wholly unfounded. SARBARY.

mi ii tFH0M THI! MALTA TIMES. 1 'ollpwmg news has been received from Tripoli dates Oth to lath ol May Respecting thexpedition to Glhel, it is very difficult to mystery is observed that it is impossible to penetrate it. Ahmet Pacha has encountered considerable opposition in the mountains, and, after several attacks, was compelled to sheath his sword, nud treat for surrender with, the natives. Several have proposed to submit, and others will follow tho example, tie Levantines deoire to extend their power, and several cases ot cruelty committed by them against the natives have recently been brought to light. A Mr.

Casolani, 1ms recently reached the city, charged oytfio Sublime Porte to organise a quarantine establishment. His measures willdoubtless be successful. Colonel Warrington hae recently established a vice-consul in the capital of Fezzan, Mourzouk. The ceremony ot hoisting the British standard was bath new and imposiue: 21 guns were first lired from the Castle, and a secoiid salute of nine guns to honour the uniform worn by A the feWtlemau nominated to that rank. Mr.

Uagliulh was for many years head clerk iu the office of Colonel arnngton, and anted as his cancelier. A similar ceremony was never before seen in Fezzan. Ma 8. News has been received that the Pacha has been beaten with the loss of several hundred men, and has demanded peace; the Gibclliues have granted it on condition of hie retreating with his camp, but the other conditions will not yet be known. In the meantime, the pro oundest secrecy is observed and the Pacha threatens with death all his followers who speak of the events.

MAY 10. The Pucha's last stratagem hns been crowned 6eema the Arabs have all submitted, Ihe fsheik-el- Bled 1ms been disgraced, aud, with two others, put ou board aschconer-of-war. He was detected in a correspondence with the rebels. Such at least is the report, and although some of tho consuls have interested themselves bis favour with tho Pacha, their attempts have been unsuccessful, Ahmed ie occupied in levying tributo from tbe Arabs they have consented to pay a heavy sum, on condition that, as soon as the required sum was paid, the Pacha Bhould withdraw his torces to Tripoli, and that the Levantines should not approach their villages nearer than they are at present. Thus, after an expedition commenced in folly aud terminated in disgrace, the Piioha has only at last succeeded in obtaining what, from the beginning, was in bis power.

Much sympathy is felt for the Sheik el Bled, who ia, it is said, exiled to Constantinople. The report of his corresponding with his enemies is a calumny: hie offence is that of having advised the Paoha not to undertake the expedition against Gibel. The latest udvicos we have, state that the consular house of Mr. Cuulay (the American consul) is full of refugees, HAMBURG SINCE TUE GREAT FIRE ifFROM A We are indebted lor the following details, which will not urn to interest, our readers, to a gentleman who has recently visited Hamburg. No person acquainted with Hamburg previous to the groat fire of last vear.

or who has traced on the map the devastation of that calamitous event, assisted by Ins wwu knowledge of the locality, could form a conception, without actual observation of the im- mimsK progress made since, the reconstruction of the streets ana Duiiaings. tt is well known that the portion of the city which was destroyed, was intersected bv tiumermw narrow streets and alleys, forming the dwellings of the lower classes, These were not alone highly objectionable in respect to the risk to which their inhabitants were subjected in all cases of lire, but they were ulso close and pestilential, and highly injurious to the treueral health of the eitv. Tim first object of the government after the fire, was to adopt a system for the reconstruction of the streets upon an improved plan and a plan suggested by an English engineer, i i.viunntu iur me purpose, was hud by tile senate belore the assembly of citizens, and agreed to. lu pursuance of this plan, whole Btreels were to be altered, and new onee laid down, alleys aud close places totally annihilated, narrow canals, heretofore the receptacles, not the carriers off, of filth, to be filled up, and their place supplied by underground sewers. In furtherance of all this, it was necessary to commence by establishing a judicial commission, with full power to determine all matterB relating to expropriation and when it is remembered that the labours of this commission emuracea questions ot partial ao well as total expropriation (where streets were to be widened and houses thrown back, portions of premises wanted for the introduction of new streets, or for rounding off corners, no person being authorised to commence rebuilding uutil the question iu his particular case had been determined), an idea may be formed of the Herculean nature of the labours through which the commission had to wade.

Nevertheless, tho number of buildings already in progress, many of them nearly finished, and a few oven already inhabited, is very large, probably not les3 than 000. Of these, perhaps, not one dwelling io under four, whilst many ure five aud even six stories high, and lurgepiles of massive warehouses are already roofed iu, which would almost bear a comparison with the largest in Liverpool. The number of miiBons, carpenters, and labourers employed, either iu levelling or constructing, is variously estimated at from thirty to thirty-live thousand, of which it is understood about twenty-five thousand are foreigners and before the commencement of next winter, hundreds of persons, who, siuce the fire, have sought refuge in the surrounding country, or have submitted to the iuconvenlonce of tbe tern, porary booths erected about tbe city, immediately subsequent to the fire, will be nguiu permanently located, and in possession of their own hearths aud houses. The late Leitsic Fair. A 'letter from Leip-eic, May 21, In the Journal de Frankfort, Bays: "The fair is over.

There wero a considerable number of purchasers from the South of Germany and Switzerland. From Poland there only came Jewish traders from Warsaw, Lublin, and some other parts of the kingdom, and those in very small number, There were also some Russian buyers, whom the excessive tariff prevented taking nway more than a few articles. Tho Grueians purchased it quantity oi cloth, and other articles, produced by tbe States of the German Customs' Union. The Moldavians wero numerous, but on the other hand eight of the principal traders of Wul-lachia were absent. Moriutm and Thibets found no grent market, but woollen cloths and waistconting, made in the Stat-H of the Customs' Uulou, were nearly all disposed of.

English woollen goods wore not iu much demand, and they will probably disappear altogether in time from our fairs. It is supposed that about 100,000 pieces of clo-li were brought to the fair, of which only .50,000 remain. The first quality waB sold for the Bame price as at the lat fair the second and third sorts at lower prices. Silk goods were not much sought after. Damask and table linen were in pretty good request, other descriptions lets so.

Stamped cotton goodB of the Customs's Union sold well, which was owing to their Buperior manufacture. English cotton goods were but little purchased for Germany, but a fair portion was taken off to other countries. English cotton and wool mixed goods were more in request thau those of tbe Union. It appears that they do not yet know how to dyo them in Saxony as well us iu England, There was an enormous quantity of leather brought, nearly all ol which was sold, but at prices lower than those of tlm preceding lair. To sum up.it may Ihj asserted that, with respect to the quantity of goods sold, tbe fair 1ms been ti good one, hut the prices were low."

PHILADELPHIA, May 8. iPROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. As it io more thau probable that the steamer from Boston will arrive as soon as this letter, which I send by the New York packet ol to-day, I will for once postpone everything in the shape of nowe, for the purpose of furnishing you with a brief sketch of matters and things" in Texas. And I am the more especially induced to do this, in conscience of the desire that I observe prevails just now in England amongst emigrants, to join the fortunes of the "Young Republic," or, as it is more poetically termed, the Republic of the Lone Star." Surely it would be wise in persons desiring to live in Texas, to pause and ascertain truly the affairs of that country, before they leave their peaceful homes, to be embroiled In war, and be exposed to the incursions and rapiua of predatory invaders. The truth is, Texas is involved in difficulty, distracted by conflicting counsels, and exposed to constant Mexican incursions.

It may be said tobe divided into three parties 1. The supporters of President Houston, who are favourable to making peftoo with Mexico, on any reasonable terms, and who desire, to live in peace. This party would not object, lt is alleged, to Texas being a free state of the Untied States, 2. Those who wish Texas united to the United stt en tho condition that she shall be a slave state, and these are upheld by a large party in the southern BtateB of the union. They are averse to peace with Mexico, except on their own terms, and denounce President Houston as a traitor, because he differs from them with regard to Mexico.

So determined are they in their opposition to him, that they wilt not willingly obey either him or his generals. Of this party were the troops who, in diaobedience to their generals would not retire after gaining several advantages over the Mexicans, but elected another oommander, marched into the Mexican territory, and were either killed or taken priBonera at the recent battle of Mier. 3. A party said to ha willing to sell Texai to England perhaps to Franco or any other powerful country who wisheB that slavery might be abolished iu Texas, because they desire emigration from England and the northern states of the great American Republic, aud they know that this is not likely to take place to any considerable extent, so long as the institution of domestic slavery exist within thoir borders. This party would be glad to have Texas a free state of the United States.

Meanwhile the nuances of Texas are at the towest ebb and with the above-named divisions of party, they are not likely to revive. As for the probability ot a sale of Texas to England, or any other nation, except a republic, it is a mere delusion. Nearly all the Texiaus aro Republicans irom this country, and they would certainly submit to no other form of government. The chief dependence of Texas must be upon the bravery of her people, in which quality they are far superior to the Mexicans. Their commodore (Moore) has at length sailed from New Or leans, wiih two vessels ot war, with the intention of attacking- the Mexican fleet.

Ho will probably succeed, bb his men are courageous and desperate. II is success might revive tho drooping spirits of the Texians, and once more improve their prospects. Their situation at present is peculiur too weak to march to Mexico with effect, they are yut strong enough for self-defence. Still the frequent premuory incursions oi tue Mexicans render portions of tueir country dangerous to reside in and should Mexico re-conquer Yucatan, they will probably be once moro invaded at two or three points by a large army. Their hope aud destiny, then, mainly depend on the aotion of the United States ou tho question, Shall Texas be united to this republic or Dot?" The decision of this vary important point turns on the principles of Blavery and anti-slavery.

Iu the United States there are two great parties ouo in the south, favourable to a continuation of slavery iu Texas and another in hib norm, auverse uotti to Blavery and the annexation of Texas. It must be obvious that the erection of TexaB either into a free state, or into an independent nation without slavery, would be pregnant with danger to the peculiar institutions of the south. The people ol the southern states, therefore, are anxious for the admission of Texas iuto the Union as a slave state; and intend, at an early day (ss it is said), to move Congress to that effect with all the power and influence they can command. Yet, even in the south, parties are cnviaeti as to the point, if one may judge from recent proceedings in tha Louisiana Legislature, where a resolution instructing the Beuate and representatives of that state in Congress to exert themselves to procure the admission of Texas iuto the Union," was voted to Ho on the table. As for (ho oppoeiug party in tho north, I cannot better embody their views than by referring to an atldresB to tho people of the United States by John Quiur.ey Adams and others, signed prior to tha dissolution of the lute Congress-That document, which opposes the annexation of Texas to this Union," and Is very long, being filled with all the usual arguments, says, 11 A large portion of tbe country interested in the continuance of domestic slavery and the slave trade iu these United States, have solemnly and unalterably determined that it (the annexation) shall be speedily carried into execution, that, by this admission of a new slave state, the uudue ascendancy of the slave-holding power iu the government shall be secured and rivetted beyond redemption, That it was witli these views that settlements were effected in Texas by of the United States, difficulties fomented with Mexico, a revolt brought about, and an independent government declared, cannot admit of a doubt aud that the attempts of Mexico to reduce her revolted province to obedience have proved unsuccessful, is to bo attributed to tho unlawful assistance of designing aud interested indivi duals in the United States, aud the direct and indirect co operation ol'our own government, with similar views, is not the less certaiu and demonstrable." The New Orleans press is very zealous in its advocacy of Texas annexation, ami it states that English emissaries are busy amongst tho Toxiaun to procure the abolition ol slavery.

Ti.ia, perhiujs, is merely said for efftx-L; but it is highly probable that Mexican ageuts are enguged in sow ing diseenslouu in Texas. The whole matter is prearnant with difli-ulty, aud whenever it comes before Congress will prod lieu the warmest debates that have occurred for many years, Slavery has been long since abolished iu Mexico, and should it ever be the case in Texas, refugee negroes would pour into that country in great numbers. Tbe anxiety of tho southern States, therefore, cun hardly be wondered at. The above views are based upon the information of persons aud letters from Texas, as well as from the Texian and southern journals; and I have thus endeavoured to give a succinct, and certainly a faithful account of matters and things" pertaining to the Republic ol the Lone Star."

Shortly before twelve o'clock yesterday the utmost consternation and alarm wero created on Waterloo-bridge under a i trulT distressing- and painful circumstances. A lad named Abbott, about 12 years of age, was walking under one of the arches of Waterloo-bridge for the purpose ot oonveylng young mnrried couple (who had just returned from Lambeth Church) and their Iriends on board the ballast engine, when all of a sudden a dreadful seream was heard, and on several persons looking over they found the poor fellow bleeding profusely from the head. Numbers iustantly rushed to the spot, when it was ascertained that the injuries proceeded from granite stone, weighing 38 pounds, which had been hurled from the balustrade of the bridge by a man who iustantly ran off towards tbe 3 (rand, and effected his escape. No time was lost in conveying the sufferer to Mr, Itaudev, surgeon, at the corner of i-Jt-amford-street when, on examination, his skull was found to be completely beaten in, and on his road to Guy's Hospital ho expired.

An investigation into the loss of the Tartar brig, by lire, iu the Southampton Docks, took place this morning helbre the Mayor, E. H.Hulton, P. Breton, P. C. Fall, W.

Oke, and ll.Eld-rida-e, esquiree. The captain and the whole of the crew were present, but tho following was tho whole of the evidence taken William Jones, second mate on board the Tartar brig, deposed that he waB onboard yesterday morning stowiug away aquafortis, and was informed by a Custom-houso officer who was on board, uud the first who discovered the fire, that smoke was issuing from the hatchway on tho larboard Bide of the ship. Witness went down to endeavour to get his property, but was prevented on account of the dense smoke issuing from the hold. He was tho lust person down the hold, aud there hud been no light down there on that morning, there were caseB of blue lights in the vessel, and from thc no'se, he imagined it was one of them ignited. He was aware ol tbe combustibles being in tbe ship.

Witness joined the ship in the London Docks. The lights were put out at nino o'clock tho previous night; it had been customary to put them out at that time. Above where tbe fire took place there wero a number of coils of rope, and underneath, rockets and other combustibles; there had been frequently smoking on board tho vessel, but there hud been iioue on that day; there were a considerable quantity of shells in the voBBel packed in cases, which had been shipped at Wool-which witness did not know if they were fused he did not recollect saying to any one thut the vessel woufd never bo docket! again and they would all go to Davy Jones's locker." but if he did. it referred to tho vessel'e leakiiic. for it leukcd lour incbeB and a half the first hour, but less afterwards.

Witness was on board th vessel when she got aground on a chalk bank, off Woolwich, but she did not leak till she came info the Southampton Docks. Witness was of opinion the chalk had washed out of the crevices while remaining iu tho dock. After he joined the ship be considered there whs great risk, but still persisted in going the voyage. He wiib to rtceive no wages, but work his pass-ageover. Me had been to sea eight years.

There was none of the crew on board the vessel unwilling to go the voyage there had been no quarrelling, and all were ou the moBt friendly terms. Tho property witness had on board wag worth about 50, and ho only escaped with what he stood upright iu. He did not attempt to scuttle her for iear of the explosion, but got oliieelsand other tools and bored holes iu the side of the vessel. An hour had elapsed after the fire before the rockets went off. Thero was no crackling noise, but hissing, and tho cases containing tbe blue lights were inch boards.

The pilot had been on board, but had just left when thefire broke out. There waa a quantity of hay near where tho fire broke out. The vessel was to have Bailed tho morning previous, but the wind not being fnirshe remained in the Dock. Thomas Burnard, an officer of Customs, deposed that he was on board the Tartar yesterday mornfug, about twenty minutes to eleven o'clock, and observed some smoke issuing-from the after hatchway. Ho told the laBt witness, who wont down the larboard side and came up again, and said the ship was on lire, and told tbem to take to the boat thc captain was iu the cabin, but ran up, aud also got into the boat, and they rowed to the landing place.

Witness slept on board in the aft deck. Saw no Binokiug. He did not know what tho entry was at the customs. Witness was aware of what the vessel contained. It was ft lawful cargo, aud he believed the custom-house nuthoiitios were acquainted with the combustible materials being ou board the vessel.

The magistrates expressed their opinion that there had not been sufficient precaution used iu the management of a veaselladenwithcotnbustlblo materials, in allowing smoking on board, They had endeavoured to elicit the causa of the accident, but without effect, It was a most extraordinary and myateriouB affair, but iu the absence of more conclusive evidence the case' must remain as it stood. The captain stated to the magistrates that be bad no suspicion of any one having set fire to the vessel ho had endeavoured to find out the cause of tha sad accident, but had failed. He had lost all he posnessed, with the exception of the clothes he hud on. This cloeed tbe case. The following ships have been taken up for flm conveyance of to Calcutta aud China, for Caloutta, the Ticurnsch, Bucephalus, and Agincourt for Hong Lady Amherst.

The first of these vestela is to convey 180 persons, the second 8(i, tbe third 100, and the fourth 00.
