On the JUNCTION of the GULF of SIAM with "the
ISTHMUS of KRAW.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE CALCUTTA JOHN BULL.

Stn,—As you ever appear willing to insert in your valuable
columns whatever .may appear useful or of advantage to so-
ciety, may I crave a corner for the following remarks, which
may be more appropriate at this than at any other time.
I have often wondered (when viewing the Eastern or Ma.
layan Peninsula on the Chart, and observing the comparative
trifling distance that intervenes betwixt the Eastern side of the
Bay of Bengal and the Gulf of Siam) that no attempt has
ever been made to connect these two Seas ; and the more par-
ticularly, when such great benefits in a commercial point of
view might reasonably be expected to arise from it ; as could
this object be accomplished, a saving of eleven, degrees, or
:nearly 7000 miles, in a passage to China would be effected, be.
;sides the immediate communization we might have with the
Siamese capital.
The Malayan Peninsula in the parallel of Merest', according
to the best authorities, cannot be much more than 90 miles
across, and in many parts to the Southward it does not exceed
flo miles, as laid down in the latest Charts; but the River
.Tentisserim, which empties itself into the Bay of Bengal at
ilergai, and nearly crosses the Peninsula in a South-easterly
direction, might offer greater facilities for opening a channel
-there than could be obtained at any other place; and ships
would still enter the Gulf of Siam, sufficiently far to the South.
ward, to enable them in the S. W. Monsoon, to weather the
eastern point of the Gulf formed by a point of •Cambotlia ;
after which they might adopt the passage recommended by
. Horsburgh, for ships that are crazy; or that may have met
with damage in the strength of the S. W. Monsoon.
My design in bringing this to your notice at this particular
time is, that lothink a better opportunity, never offered for ac-
complishing so desirable an object. '
It is very well known to all those who have visited any part
of the Burman Empire, that the Petty States of Tavoy, Mergtti,
and Tenasserim formerly belonged to the Siamese, and that
though the Burmans have now possession of them, still the
Siamese arc far from letting them enjoy their conquest quietly,
but are continually disputing fur the occupacy of their ancient
territory.
.Now as the British Government do not intend keeping any
measures with the Birtnans, might not the Siamese be induced
to co-operate with us, in the hope of, or from a promise on
our putt, that they should be reinstated in their ancient rights ?
if this could be accomplished, I have no doubt when they be-
came better acquainted with our good faith, they will heartily
join us in any measure which would be productive of K 5 much
benefit to both, as that of a tree communication betwixt the
two countries.
To chew the hostile views of the Siamese towards the flir-
ts:anti' no later back than the year 182(1 the latter were obliged
to send an Army to their, frontier, in order to intimidate the
former ; and though they returned about eighteen months after
without having done much, still things were far from settled
when they dispatched the Mission under Captain Gibson in the
latter end of 1021, the result of which probably by this time is
known.

Though the present Charts of the Gulf of Siam ate perhaps
tar from correct, still the distance of the two seas cannot be
very great, and as the Government vessels, are now engaged in
surveying this side of the Peninsula, and particularly about the
neighbourhood of 31ergui and 'J'avoy, they might vesy easily
by a similar survey of the Gulf determine the relative position
of the two coasts.

I need not say, if a communication for large ships could not
be established, what a short rout it would be for our steam-
• vessels, when they become more generally in use,--why, we
may .setid our opium to China in less than one third of the time
that is now occupied in a passage to that place in the most
favourable season ; main with this advantage too, that after
crossing the Bay of Bengal, a great part of the voyage would
be on a weather-shore in the south-west monsoon, and come-
9uently in smooth water. A principal object in our conciliat-
ing the Siamese would be, in *vent of the Government ever
meditating a descent upon Rangoon, when, in alprobability,
any force that might have collected there, upon defeat, would
endeavour to get to the eastward to Mactabar, Tavoy, Mergui,
,&c., and if the Siamese joined them, we should be hemmed on
all aide; ; but I sincerely hope we shall find less importance
attached to this affair than the present confined state of infor,
motion on the subject might seem to warrant.
If these remarks are worth the insertion, they may lead to a
'further discussion of the *et in which hope I subscribe
:myself, Yours very obediently,
Calcutta, March 11;1024. W. CHEST.

We have inserted the above letter relative to opening a com,
unication with the Gulf of Siam, across the Isthmus of Kra
Such an opening would undoubtedly tend very much to sliorten
•our communication with China, and in many cases, during the
latter part of the S. W. Monsoon, insure a direct passage up
the China Seas; but its practicability is very doubtful, even if
we were in full possesston of the country. We have readily
inserted the letter, and shall be very happy to hear further from
the writer on the subject ; not that we think the smallest chance
exists of his object being obtained, but it ‘vrtainly is a subject
deserving some consideration, particularly in relation to a sur-
vey of the coasts. The revolution of a few years may, and pro.
highly will, very materially alter the existing state of things, and
render what now appears to many chimerical, and fantastical, al.
. most a matter of i ndispensible necessity, at least ofintramount uti.
:Icy. We are not at present aware whether the Tenasserim can be
readily entered by vessels of any considerable size, nor if it is na-
• vigable. There appears mho one or two rivers of considerable
• magnitude also on the Eastern Shore of the Isthmus. Should
• we ever be induced to take possession of this neck eland the
project now mentioned may very likely be carried into effect.
A small extent North and South would sake tbr the purpose,
-• and no doubt exists of our being able to maintain possession.
..A British establishment at this point, having the command of
the Coast on both sides for a small extent, might eventually be
;the means of opening to us a vw.st extensive traffic with Siam,
constituting as it would an intenuediatelink between that place
and Calcutta. The Siamese would naturally look up to us
fbr countenance against the Burmese, and would in all probe-
biiity relax very much in our favour. ilVe mayperhaps here.
offer some further remarks on this-point, whielfis of a far
Ltnore interesting nature than at firsusight appears.
