BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, Nor. 18.

•
The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received,
through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy
of the following despatch addressed by her Majesty's Con-
sul at Bangkok to her Majesty's Plenipotentiary in China,
announcing the withdrawal of the prohibition to export
rice from Siam.

---
British Consulate, Bangkok, Aug. 15, 185 g.
Sir,—l have the honour to report to your Excellency
that his Majesty the First King has authorised me to
state that the rice trade of Siam is now open, although
the royal proclamation to this effect already prepared has
not yet been issued.
In reply to my further inquiry his Majesty said that he
coal.' not guarantee for any definite period the absence of
all restriction in the exportation of rice by foreigners ;
should there arise the necessity of recurring to a pro-
hibitory edict, the month's notice conceded by treaty
would be given to the Consul ; at present there existed
on the part of Government no wish or intention
to interfere ; and his Majesty hoped that in future
the rise of prices on the approach of scarcity would be
found to afford all needful protection to his subjects, and
to be in itself the best security against an excessive export
of food.—l have, &c.,
(Signed) C. B. HILLIER.
