BURMESE DEPUTATION TO THE EM-

PERM OF CHINA.

TOE DEPOSITION ay NA.TWEN-LA-TON, OF MUM; yrrE

1.1101.000G1E OF MERCIUt.

Some time ago the King of Ava sent a deputation of
his own people to solicit the assistance of an army from the
Emperor of China. The late potentate, in reply, wrote,
that if he, the-Emperor of China, were to send an army to
aid the King of Ava, Many contests would thence arise.,
Upon the return of the deputation with this reply, 'the
Kmg of Ava again Sent a person with a letter to the Em-
peror of China, to which an answer to the following effect
was received,—that if the King of Ave, in his contest with
the 'English, should fail, and should wish to retire into the
territory of China, the Emperor of that country would
afford him a place of refuge, and would engage not to stir-
lender him to the English, in the event of his being de-
manded ; and that he would further endeavour to accommo-
date the dispute between the :King of Ava and the Eng-
lish. The particulars above given, 1, in , the month of
Magh, heard .from the soldiers of the Burmese army at
Sembeghniti. I have also heard. that the wife of the King
of Ave has given her husband the following counsel,--that
he Should retire with her and the Court to the ancient city
of Mon-so-lu, and there take up his abode. Haekeries and
boats are accordingly said to have been prepared, and
other urrangements. made, for the retirement of the King
to the above-mentioned city : that upon this, the brother
of the King, the Prince of Serrawuddy, endeavoured to dis-
suade the King from such a course, saying it is unusual for
Kings to quit their capital.:, it will be infinitely better to
endeavour to settle your differences with the English. I
have also heard that the King of Ava has given out, that
in the event of the English army getting to Pagalim-Mew,'
lie will endeavour to settle matters with them, and even
surrender to them whatever countries they may 'require.
Whilst lie was in this mind, the Tee-ya-soozaug came to -
the King, and represented that if the King would place
'20,000 men at his disposal, he would proceed to. Pagalun-
Mive, and fighting with the English, drive them. out of
the country. A ccordingly, 15,000 men (to each of whom
a large bounty, amounting, it is said, to 300 ticabi per man,
was given) were placed at the disposal of the above-named,
upon Whom • the title of " Nawing Phuring". (Prince of
Sunset) was conferred, and he was despatched .to Pa-
Olin-Mew, with orders to take under has command the
15,000 men, whom he: would find soldiers under Kalien
Menghee and the Kee Woonghee, at the said place. It is
further said, that all honorary distinction': formerly con-
ferred, upon Kalien Menghee, the Kee Woonghee, end
Meminhoo,- by the Sultan, had been recalled, and that
the Prince of Sunset had sent three' Chiefs to construct a
fortification at Powa Chowa.

No. 1.-COPY OF THE KING or AVA'S Ott..DER.

Our royal army will march in several divisions to seize,
kill, and crush the rebel strangers who are in Prome. The
victoriens advance division, under the chief Maha Ne Myoo,
seized, 'killed, and crushed the strangers at Wottegon.—
Owing to the excellent power of the golden rqesty, they
could not resist or stand before us. Their principal-chief
was killed, and all the strangers were killed and routed--
muskets, arms, and all live men, were taken in abundancei,
The strangers came with great confidence; as they have
been beaten this first time, they cannot stand on another
occasion. The royal army having behaved well once, ten
times it will be successful. After this they (the strangers)
cannot raise their hands—it is very easy for us to seize
them now. Those that fight face,to face, and conquer, will
be honoured and rewarded by the King; the list of their
names is to be presented to his Majesty by the Prince
General-in-Chief. The Royal Nakan sends. this, Novem-
bar 25, 1825.

ten men. These people went to Prom, and near the
Shoe-Saudfut Pagoda, where the principal Chiefs of the
strangers reside, they carted off three muskets, two swords,
and one pouch, but failed in their endeavours to enter and
kill the Chiefs, because European soldiers kept guard
there. I send you now the written depositions of these
people, as also the three muskets, two swords, and one
pouch; and the ?4eeaday Mayon-thoo-gie, by my order,
continue his exertions, and by the accompanying re-
