ME SIAMESE AMBA.SS •_DORS.—The Ambassadors about
visiting England are said to be—first and second from the
tar3t Kin, of Siam, and the third from the a Bond King of
Siam—there being two kings, the first sendirg two ambas-
sadors, the second one. The second Ambassador is the
adopted son of the King ; the first is the brother of the
Prime Min's'er. Another younger brother and son are
the suite, cornine here to be educeted. They are Bhuddists,
and consapi,ntly do not eat beef or mutton, or use milk,
cheese, butter, or anything produced from bulls or cows.
Hog'. lard i 3 the only fat allowed to be used in cooking.
For the information, however, of those who may wish to
invite them in England to partio, we may state !het they
eat freely of game, poultry, pork, and curry of the very
hottest at every meal. They drink moderately of brandy,
wine, champagne, and pale ale. They are very fond of tea,
which they drink a every meal, and all day long, without
milk. They eat no pastry cr stvefti. Eight of the principal
members of the embassy dine together; the others, exespting
servants, have a separate table, and pay great respect and
homage whenever they address one of the superior eight.
They are very cleanly, and all make a point of bathing every
day. Their teeth are Week from the use of the betel-nut.
They have all sorts of E iropein articles for ordinary pur-
poses. They have splendid presents on beard for Her
Majesty, among them two crows and a lady's saddle,
enriched with diamonds, rubies, arid other precious atones,
pacers wieh gold heads, &e. 'I hey have also £50,000 in
dollars on board, beeides bars of gold ; so they are tolerably
we I provided. Th it dress is very splendid—a rich tunic
with a belt of gold easped in front with a buckle ornamented
with diamonds and rubies ; locse trousers and small richly
ornamented skull cap, with a spire running from the top.
Their faces are perftetlq Chinese. and they look annaz'ngly
like the nodding figur, a in the large tea shops in England.
A number have changed their gay oriental dress for
slep made paletots and Jim Crow hats. The change is
not att improvement.
