Some time ago the King of Ava sent a deputation of his own
people to Rnlicit the assistance e( an army from the Emperor of
China. The latter Potentate, in reply, wrote, that if he, the Em-
peror of. China, were to send an army to aid the King of Ava, many
contests would thence arise. Upon the tenth' of the deputation
with this reply, the King of Ave again Rest a person with a letter
to the Emperor of China, to which an answer to the following effect
was received :—That if the King of Ave, in his contest with the
English, should fail, and should wish to retire into the territory of
China, the Emperor of that country would afford him a place •ot
refuge, and would engage not to surrender him to the English in
the event of his being demanded; and that he would further en-
deavour to accommodate the dispeie between the King of Ava and
the English. The particulars above given, I, in the month of
March- beard from the soldiers of the Burmese army at Sem.
begltuin. I have also heard that the wife of the King of Ave has
given her husband the billowing counsel, that lie should retire,
with her me ski Oswee„ is the ancient city of Jinn-eo.lo, and there
rake op his abode. tfackeries cud beats areacoordioglv Raid to
( have limn prepared, and other errangenients made, for the retire-
! mem of the King to the above-mentioned city ; but, upon this, the
brother of the King, the Prince of Scrrawuddy, endeavoured to dis-
suade the King from such a course, Keying, it is unusual for
Kings to quit their capital; it will be infinetely better to endeavour
t.) settle your differences with the English. I have also heard thir
1 the King of Ave has given out that, in the event of the English
army getting to Pagalitn-Mew, he will endeavour to settle matters
with them, and even surrender to them whatever countries they
may tequire. Whilst he an' in this mind, the Tee-ya-soozaug
came to the King, and represented that it' the King would place
twenty thousand men at his disposal\lie would proceed to Pagalini-
Mew, and, fighting with the English drive them out of the lou n.
try. Accordingly, fifteen thousand Amen (to each of whom a large
heunty, amounting, it is said, to three unfired tied; per man, 11/116
given) were placed at the disposal of the above-named, upon whom
the title oh " Nawing Phuring" (Prince of Sunset) was conferred,
and be• Was despatched to Pagahm-Mew, with orders to take under
hi.. command the fifteen thousand men, whom be would find R:il-
diers under Kellen 111engliee and the Kee Woonghee, at the said
place. It is farther said, that all honorary distmetions formerly
conferred upon Kellen 111 cngh ee, the Kee Wonghee, and Merida-
boo, by the Sultan, had heca recalled, and that the Prince of
Sunset had Rent three Chiefs to construct a fortification at l'owa
Chose.
