BURMESE DEPUTATION TO THE EMPEROR
MrCHINA.

THE DEPOSITION OF NA-TWYN-LA-TON, OF HUNG
GYNE HES% MIONSOOGIE OF MERGUI.
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 latter 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 King of Ava again sent a person with *
letter to the Emperor 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 surrender him to the
English in the event of his being demanded; and that
he would further endeavour to accommodate the dis-
pute between the King of Ava and the English. The
particulars above given, I, in the month of Magh, beard
from the soldiers of the Burmese army at Sembeghnin.
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-10, and there take up his abode. Hackeries and
boats are accordingly said to have been prepared, and
other arrangements made, for the retirement of the King
to the abovementioned city : that upon this, the brother
of the King, the Prince of Serrawuddy, endeavoured to
dissuade the King from such a course, saying it is un-
usual fur 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 Pagahm-Mew, he will endeavour to settle matters
with them, and even surrender to them whatever coun-
tries they may require. Whilst he 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,
be would proceed to Pagahm-Mew, and fighting with
the English, drive them out of the country. Accord-
ingly 15,000 men (to each of whom a large bounty,
amounting, it is said, to 900 ticals per man, was given)
were placed at the disposal of the above named, upon
whom the title of 46 Nawing Phuling" (Prince of Sunset)
was conferred, and he was dispatched to Pagahm-Mew,
with orders to take under his command the 15,000 men,
whom be would find soldiers under Kalien &lenghee
and the Kee Woonghee, at the said place. It is further
said, that all honorary distinctions formerly conferred
upon Kalien Menghee, the Kee Woonghee, and /demi-
aWo, by the Sultan, had been recalled, and that the
Prince of Sunset had sent three Chiefs to construct a
,fortificatiosa at Powa Chowa.

Our royal army will march in several divisions to
seize, kill, and crush the rebel strangers who are in
Prome. The victorious advance division, under the
Chief Mahe Ne Myeci, seined, killed, and crushed, the
strangers at Wottegon. Owing to the excalknt power
of the Golden Majesty, they could not resist or stand
before us. Their principal Chief was killed, and ell the
strangers were killed and routed—muskets, arms, and
live men, were taken in abundance. The strangers
came with great confidence ; as they have been beaten
this first time, they cannot stand on another occasionoi
'The royal army having behaved well once, ten times it.
will be successful. After this they (the mangers) can-'
not raise their hands-..it is very easy for us to seine
them new. 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:
