No fresh collision has taken place since the destruction of the Rangoon stockiidcs by Cornrirodore Lambert. The further mea- sures telten on both sides have been as yet (with the exception of our blockade ofa riyar) purely defensive, and in some quarters an accommodation is not considered even yet altogether hopeless. It is the general rpinion that, if the Burmese do attend us at till, they will wait the setting in of the monsoon, during which acitaon our troops will be unable to act with cfl'ect. and that if we are eompqlled to resort ton ciimpaign,we must wait tilltlie commence- ment of the dry season in October.
