This morning a telegraphic despatch from Trieste announces the arrival
of the usual India mail. No news of the missing mail had been re- ceived up to the 7th August. The dates are from Bombay of the 6th July. The Burmese made a second attempt to retake Martaban, on the 26th of May, but were driven back. On the 3d of June, Pegda was taken, and its fortifications were destroyed, by a detachment of the force under General Godwin. The British loss was very insignificant. News from Calcutta, dated 2d July, states that all was quiet at Rangoon up to the 20th June, and that the troops were enjoying good health.
