received from Sir Archibald Campbell, we now transmit it with
this address to Bombay, for the purpose of being forwarded over

to Sir Archibald Campbell, who will afford your Honourable
Committee every information regarding the recent operations in
Ave- In the meantime, it will he highly satisfactory to you to

Rangoon, and several regiments had been actually embarked on
the transports then in the river, and sailed for the Presidency and
Fort Saint George.

personally with Ile on various points, will return in the
Enterprize steam vessel to Rangoon, in the course of the en-

Copy of a Letter from Major-General Sir Archibald Campbell,
K.C.B. to George Swinton, Esq. Secretary to the Bengal
Government, dated Head-quarters, Camp at Yand,iboo, 45
miles South-west of Ave, 24th February, 1826.
Sin,

The late defeats sustained by the Burnes army, and
which led to its almost total dispersion, together with the
vicinity of the British force to the capital of Ava, has had the
effect (I trust sufficiently) to humble that haughty and arrogant
Court .to a submission, which will, no doubt, be made for a length
of time subservient to its policy, so as not again wantonly to dia..
turb the peace of the British Government in India.

The Treaty of Peace this day concluded and ratified by the
Burmese Ministers of State, will be submitted to his Lordship in
Council by the British Commissioners in Pegu. and Ave, I have
therefore, only to say, that I shall at onto return with the force
