to George Swinton, Esq, Secretary to the Bengal
Covermnent, dated Ilead-quarters, Culp at Vandals)°, '45
miles South-west of Ave,. 24th' February, MG.
The late' defeats sustained .by the Burmese army, and
which led to its alniost total disperaion, together with the
vicinity of the British force to the capital of Ave, has had the
Effect (1 twat sufficiently) to humble .thet.haughty and arrogant
Court to a submission, which will, no doubt, be made for a length
of time subservient to it policy, so as mit again wantonly to die-
turf) the peace of the British Government in India.
The Treaty.of Peace this day coucluded and ratified by the
Burmese Ministers of State, will be snbmitted to his Lordship hi
Connell by the British Commissioners in Pep and Ave, I have
therefore, only to say, that I shall at once return with the force
under my command te.Hangoon, there to await the further com-
mands of Government, . •
