MORE ENGLISH ANNEXATION IN INDIA.--
Intelligence has been received via England,
that the British government in India were
about to annex the entire Burmese Empire
to their previous possessions. The pretext
for this "aggression" was that English sub
iects have been badly treated by the King
and people of Burmah; that English traders
and merchants were insulted, despoiled and
imprisoned, without sufficient cause, and
were denied redress; and that when Eng
lishmen visited Burmah in ain official capaci-
ty, they were insulted and driven out-hence
war, invasion, and annexation become nee
