MEXICAN TREATY.

.
for you, as 1 wive already promised, my fullest protection, and
every ,respect to your rAigion and temples, &c. &c.
Given, under my hand and seal'atßangoon,
the Ist day of Feb. 18'25.
(Signed) A. CAM PBEr.t., B. 0. &c. &c.

This Treaty, which has 18 Articles, and an
additional one, very much resembles in its stipu-
lations the Trea.ties concluded with the States of
La Plata and Colombia.. The following is an
abstract :-
1. The usual provision for lasting amity.

CIVIL SERVICE .IN
• CALCUTTA, MAncit B.—We to-day publish a document
which must necessarily be interesting to the Gentlemen of the
Civil Service, and, with reference to the quarter whence it was
kindly sent to us, those Most concerned May depend upon its
authentiaityi It is an " Abstract Report of the Committee of
Correspondence," and relates to absentee allowances, and an
annuity fund, and -while those to be benefitted by it Must be
thankless indeed if they do *not feel uncommonly gratifies by,
the attention paid to their pecuniary comforts, we hope that in
the midst of these boons to one branch of the seryicc, the
merits of the other will not: be forgotten. We think that the
military pensions are at present on their /a:rest scale, and the
furlough pay very inadequate to:the commonest wants of one
who is habituated and entitled to Move in the sphere of a
gentleman.

2. Provides for a free intercourse and commerce between the
subjects and dominions of the two parties,as in the Colombian
treaty. An exception is made of the costing trade.

dominions of the King of Great Britain out of Europe as those
in Europe, to the utmost extent now permitted to any other

nation.
4. As in the Colombian treaty, is a stipulation for the same
duties on the produce of each nation in the ports of the other,
as are now paid or to be paid
_by, the 'most favoured nation,
with an exception,by Mexico in favour of the other new
ik.Amerlcan States.
_.""5. The duties on tonnage, lighthouse, and port charges, to be
comprehended in the foregoing article.
6. The vessels of the two nations reciprocally to be on the
footing, as to import and export duties in the ports of each other,
of the most favoured nation.
7. Determines what vessels shall be considered British and

, ever vessels have been built in the Mexican States, or na-
tionalized according to law, and whose master or captain shall

crews shall have been admitted to the service with the know
ledge of the Government. This definition of what constitutes
a Mexican vessel is to subsist only for ten years.
8. Mexican individuals embarked on board his Britannic
Majesty's ships of war, as well as Mexican effects and property
received in them, shall be covered and protected by the flag of
his Britannic Majesty. Mexican persons, property, and goods,

as his Britannic Majesty has granted, or may hereafter grant,
to the most favoured nation. The vessels of either contracting
party shall not be seized or detained in the dominions of the
other for military service, without sufficient indemnification.

due by individuals, as well as property in public funds, or
shares in companies, shall not be seized or detained.
14. The subjects of his Britannic Majesty residing in the
United Mexican States are protected from persecution or mo-
listation on account of their religion, " provided they respect
that of the nation in . whiche they zeside, and the constitution,
laws, usages, and customs of the same." Right of sepulture

ORIENTAL COMPLIMENT.
RAIiGOON, 'FEB. 10.—The enclosed is a literal translation
of a curious complimentary epistle just received by the Briga-
dier General from Siam, via Manahan :
THE LETTER FROM SIAM.—" The Chief of the country of
Zaky, of Lagoon and Jumma ; the splendid hero and renowned
warrior of great splendour, dignity, and riches ; the Prince;
the Ruler over fifty-seven Provinces, pessessul by my ancestors
from the remotest generations ; the Lord and Chief of the nine
tribes of the Siamese people; the illustrious Prince possessing
the richest Throne in the East. The name of the second Chief
is Bems; Agan Loorn Vat. The name of the third. Shoom
Zova J3anzagan Lan Cheg. These three Chiefs were present
at Durbar, with three-and-thirty Wazeers, and being uneei.
Mous having but one mind and one object, present this to His
Excellency.
" To the Governor over Sixty Tribes, and the Great Con-
queror over Countries, the English Hero--the Champiou of the
IVorld—the Tamer of Elephants—the General victorious over
the nurniese, Mild and 'inerciful—the 'Leader of Leaders— the
Inspirer of Bravery-this request is w:itten in the year of the
Hegira, One thousand One Hundred and Eighty-Six. A vear
greater than seen by any of our ancestors. A year more aus-
picious than all former years. lirivhich the Conqueror of Pro-.
viuces, the English Hero, by command of his King, came with
an army to attack the Burmese, over whom he has been Victo-
rious; who has not molested the inhabitants; hut has per-
tted the poor to remain in their dwellings. This intelligence
having reached us, diffused general joy. We have likewise
heard, that many Wazeers and Burmese soldiers have been
sent to the regions of death by the invincible warriors. The
Englisii haHes7o, who is seated ona throne, and exceeding be-
neficent, rdered that neither vexation nor trouble is to be
given to the people remaining in their houses. Against your
power no enemy can draw an arrow, The poor and the culti-
vators in your prosperity find ease. Further,- we are of opinion,
that if you continue fighting after this manner for one year, or
One Month, neither the name nor vettrige.of the Burmese will
remain. Then will the poor in tranquillity pass their lives, and
then the name of their merciless _
the people living under the
enemies will be obliterated.—
We are likewise persuaded, thatto
ihadow of the standard of your clemency, not ever, a cause of
trouble can arise. The great Chief' leeeagat,' the second Bun-
gan Khoon, the third Blingan Khasan Chc..ydoe (ihom Thuham.
The Chief of the countries of Laboom and Jamaz, all being
assembled and being unanimous, and 'suing but one mind and
one object, I have described it to the great English hero and
conqueror, and I wish to be informed of your circumnances
and every wish in your mind. This request is addressed to the
presence of the illustrious enthroned English conqueror.

A 'great and generous nation, confident in its own strength,
like that of the British Empire in India, tried every thing
possible by mild and temperate expostulation to make your
Court sensible of the enormity of its conduct, and the inevi-
table consequence that a 'perseverance in it would occasion.
These remonstrances tended only to increase the insolence of
the Court of A.va. Recourse to arms was therefore the only
measure left to the English, is support of their own rights and
dignity. V,hat that appeal has already produced, it is unne-
cessary for int to say—you all know it. The bravery of my
troops has already deprived the Court of Ava of its maritime
provinces of 31ergui, Tivoy, Yeh, Alartaban, and the island of
Ctieduba.. The,ancient kingdom of Pegu has become a desert
'from the ravages of war. The most powerful armies, possible
for your Court to get together, have been sent against us; we
'have dispersed them like chaff ! Since the arrival of my force at
Rangoon in the month of May last, we have at different periods
taken'from you more than seven hundred pieces of artillery, and
small arms too numerous to be counted, and your loss in lives
has been, as you all know, most enormous; and with you, on
that account, I lament the tears of. aged parents, Sisters, widoss,
and innocent children. All this has been endured merely to
support the folly and obstinacy of your Court to whom our
peaceable desires have been made known. Yet, it still abstains
from offeiing any reparatiOn for the wanton cruelties and un-
provoked injuries I have already Mentioned. It only, therefore,
remains for me to carry the victorious English arms not only to
your capital, but to the remotest parts of your kingdom, till
your Court is brought, to a proper sense of that justice, honour,
and policy, due from one neighbouring state to another.
you, you will see and fully understand that to
roar Having thus briefly explained the cause of our coming inanusn

to the very utmost of my power. Show yourselves, therefore
deserving,
desving of that feeling towards you by keeping, a 3 we ad-
vance, yourselves and your families peaceably and quietly, in
your houses, and you, may depend upon the most inviolable
protection of your persOns and property. Bring to My army
