ever, ,e' 'linked Mare closely than the preCeding
tea he ss of dispute, which led to the existing war.
In June' a revolution happened in Assam, a tern-
, -eery hithert ant of Ava. The Bura Goheyn, or
Z,bareditary of state, and the nominal Rajah (or
Singh, were driven from Gowahati
*day a faction headed by Chunder Kaunt, a competitor for
the Raj, who was supported by the Burmese. The Ex-
-Aleph took refuge in the Company's territory, and solicited
: ebeirprotection, offering to become tributary on condition
• of his being restored to the musnud sf his ancestors.
•• The Government of Bengal declared, in reply, its deter-
110t to interfere in the internal affairs of foreign
..states, or respecting disputed titles. A similar answer was
erettnned.to the request of Chunder Kaunt, for the seizure
yof the Ex-Rajah and Bura Goheyn. A letter
e subject was transmitted from the Minister of
Idie *tikes, who was referred to the answer conveyed
•is .11Isunt. This correspondence took place in the.
• year lin. ."
In the" following year, whilst Poorunder Singh was col
letting troops in Bhotan, to attempt the recovery of his de-
.minions, Chunder Kaunt, the reigning Rajah, began to I
-get weary of his Burmese auxiliaries, who had been guilty
of great cruelties and devastations; and he made overtures,
it is supposed, to his adversary, the Ex-Rajah, for a joint
effort to expel them. He likewise connived at the murder
of his minister, the Bar Barwah, an adherent of the Bur-
mese faction.
In May 1991, Poorunder Singh entered Assam from
Bhotan, but was defeated by the troops of Chunder Kaunt,
who was, in his turn, expelled from Assam by the Burmese,
in September, and fled to a chokey, opposite to Gowal-
parish, a place on the British frontier. Various outrages
ware perpetrated on the villages in our territory, by the
ifaun and Burniese troops in pursait.
Permission was given to Chunder Kaunt, as before to
Poorunder Singh, to transport gunpowder and military
stores through the British territories to Assam.
Towards the end of the year, Chunder Kaunt re-en-
tered Assam, penetrated as far as Gowahati, and defeated
the Burmese in several skirmishes; Poorunder Sing like-
wise made inroads on the side of Bhotan. Menghe
Naha Silwa, the Burmese General, desired in an arrogant
tone, that no aid might be furnished by us to Shundra-
garde (Chunder Kaunt), and that, if he sought refuge in
the British territories, he might be surrendered. A letter
was alsenaddressed to the Governor-General, by the new
Rajah of Assam, set up by the Burmese, named Phunsa-
dur, or Pooneadar.
In the beginning of 1892. the Burmese army in Anew
was reinforced, and Menghe Mahe Bundoola was sent from
the court to take the command. Chunder Kaunt Boat
gave way before this increased force, and in June was de-
cisively defeated. A menacing intimation was soon after
conveyed from the Burmese Chiefs to the British local
:authorities, that if the rebel was suffered to enter.ahe Com-
pany's territories, they had orders to take him thence by
fora. A vakeel also arrived at Calcutta in July, with
•letteri, expressed in unobjectionable terms, from the Bur-
mese chiefs, regarding the surrender of the Assam refugees.
In return to these demands, the Bengal Government
invariably declined authorizing the surrender of the in-
dividuals; but ordered that the chiefs, or those meditating
disturbance, should be removed from the British frontier.
The Burmese having obtained complete possession of
Assam, appointed Menghe Mahe Silwa to the supreme au-
theriti, thus reducing the country to the state of a Burman
provinie. Afterwards, however, they seemed desirous to
• place a native nominally at the head of affairs, and opened
a negotiation with Poorunder Singh. The latter declined
the terms offered, and renewed his applicat:on to the Com-
pany for assistance, but without effect.
In September 1812, a dispute occurred respecting an
island near Goalparah, considered to appertain to our terri-
tory. When Chunder Kaunt retreated thither, a flag was
erected upon it on the arrival of the Burmese, in order to
distieguish it from the Assam dominions. The island was
new claimed by the Burmese, who, in a haughty tone,
threatened to occupy it forcibly. It was expected that
numerous disputes would occur as to the property of va-
/toss chars or islands in the Brabmaputra, which forms
the boundary of the two states.
No further transactions of importance, except the efforts
of the Assamese emigrants in the British territory to re-
cover their country, transpired until the rear ts 23; when
the Burmese chiefs of Arracan carried off' and imprisoned.,
the Company's elephant hunters from within the British
bouudaries; and until the forcible occupation of the island
of Shapuree, with the hosti!e demonstrations of the Bur-
snme Government towards the close of that year, which
formed the prelude to actual hostilities between the two
matrons.
laow Oas.—Within a few days, some experienced I
miners have been engaged in opening an ore bed, in the
town of Saranac, (formerly No. 4,) and thus far, there is
every indication that they have found a. vein of fine qua-
,. lily ; it is near the river Saranac, and in the midst of an
extensive quantity of woodlAtad, suitable for supplying
al. If the expectations of
,{hose who are engaged in this
asiotts should be realised, it will be a discovery of very
great importance to this section of the country. 'The hi-
'lonia river affords facilities for water power to accommo-
,,,,,elate manufacturing establishments to almost any extent.—
