Iron the Rangoon Chronicle, Msrca 10
The long delayed embassy from the Court OF Ava
NO the Court of France is finally its way, and
|actually reached here yesterday route TO the
latter country. The principal personages composing
this embassy are General D'Orgeni, Moung Pollen
Moung Zah, ambassadors, and JohannesManook i'm
peria interpreter. OF course the usual attendants
Servants, &c, accompany them.
We will in the course of this, enter into particu-
Lars of the procession OF the embassy on the oc
cason of its embarking on board the royal barge,
but previously to doing 30 we must remark that
the long delay OF five months which has taken
place in the preparation of this embassy, or
rather in the determination to send it, has been
eccas0ned by circumstances which it is said do
not reflect very favorably those who constituted
the obstacles to its accomplishment; but the energy
and determination of one of the persons immedi-
ately concerned 1--WE need hardly mention the nancy
have trinmphed over the opposition and the real
fact, long doubted and even scofed at by many,
now stares US in the face. The embassy is on its
3ugur what they will of the result.
On the 25th Of February, at 4 80 P. NJ, the Am
bassadors already named, attended by the Wondock
Cor the Mayor Of the golden palace presented them
which is on the eastern face of the imperial resi-
dence. Here all kneeled, as is the custom
when proceeding on missions to China;
this, OF course, being the first occasion of
the performance Of the ceremony 80 great an oc.
casion as diplomatic mission to of the greatest
pOtentates of Europe certain blessings then in
yoksd by the chief Fhonoghes or high priest on the
gates of the palace were thrown open, aud in the
midst Of an army of 200 of the imperial horse
guards the letter addresfed by the Kag to the EN-
peror of France, suddenly appeared from the inte-
FOR in the hands of Nandozzi, or Secretary of the
palace. The letter, together with numerous pre-
sents to accompany ~, was carried upon rich
brellas, this latter being distinction only accorded
to royalty itself. Immediately the Nakan-doh, or
Secretary Of the Imperial Commandment, fol-
lowed.
This high officer in State dress was mounted on a
rich hOwdah, carried by beautiful elephant of unu
sual magnitude. In the mean time the ambassadors
had mounted their own elephants, and all then pro-
ceeded between two lines of body guards, about four
hundred in slow and imposing procession to the
place Of embarkati0n, arrived at which, the Woond0k
formally delivered the Kings letter and presents
into the handsof the ambassador taking his formal
receipt for the same. The embassy then proceeded
in the kind of state to which the Burmese attach
Importance; that is, with display OF gded umbrel-
las and gded boat, until it is now here, awaiting
csn opportunity to proceed to Calcutta
The idea of the furnisher of the particulars Of
' the procession, &C., which we have described is
that all the fuss made and trouble taken is mere
matter OF moonshine as far as the object of the
embassy is concerned; which, he would have it, is
mere compliment. In this particular we can hardly
agree with him, as unless some deep scheme is at
the bottom of all this it seems to that it would
never have proceeded to the length which we now
far as we know him, is man likely to be impla
cable q foe, where circumstances prevent his be-
coming friend as he would have been the latter
under other auspices. Now as we are inclined to
believe that he considers himself to have been any
thing but well treated by the British, it is not at all
improbable that he will endeavor as far as any in
nuence he may possess or acquire, enables him.. so
| to act in France as to show the world for he is
proud many that he took the extraordinary and bold
step which second time brings him on diploma
tic mission from the Court of Ava that he is intent
on something more than mere compliment
DEPARTURE OF THE KING OF OUDE-AUCTION OF ALL
HIS PROPERTY.
The following is from Lucknow dated March FL:
The chief, almost the only topic OF conversation,
is the kings leaving Though personally he COM
manded little respect, his misfortunes now enlist
the sympathes of every one. The native noblemen,
U4ipmoOd D0wlah, MOnsverood Dowlah, and others
OF The royal family, offered to place all their wealth
at his command, and to raise any sum of money to
avert the catastrophe which at last overwhelmed
him. But now that he is gone in spite of of all
intimidations, now that he has thrown OFF the
apathy which previously characterized him,
more to see him, or member of his family, seated
the throne, and to obtain from the Queen and the
Parliament Of England q reversal of the order Of
Lord Dahousie, who with one stroke Of the pen de-
prived the unfortunate monarch, not only of his
kingdom but also of his private property his throne,
his money. his houses, his wives dwelling places,
and his cattle.
Yesterday commenced the auction Of all the horses,
bulocks, COWS, goats dogs, eks, deer ynxes, camel
leopards tigers, elephants, le0pards, neegaes, rhi
noceroses, camels, bufialoes, sheep, BIRDS and
all possible kinds Of creatures "lately belonging"
as the circular says, to the Dude government"
Only portion Of horned cattle was sold, but the
sale will, believe continue for about three weeks,
90 the live stock Of the King consists Of immense
number Of animals Of all sorts and all species. Here
would be first rate opportunity for some daring
Spectator investing in menagerie. The auction is
being held the banks of the Goomtee in a plain,
opposite an eminence on which the palace called
power, no man dared go there with an umbrella,
FOR it was sacred ground but now, as overheard
native complaining to friend there are troops
of Feringees actually selling of his Maestys goods.
What change! What shall we see nextY"
TEA CULTIVATION IN THE PUNJAUB-PIRsT PRUITs
OF THE EXPERIMENT..
From the Lahore Chronicle, March 20.l
dv sapp sef1 q the the U S has
the Kangra valley We are informed that already
upwards of six hundred acres of land at Holta are
covered with tea plants, nearly three millions of
young plants having been transplanted since Janu-
ary Of last year the greater number Of which are
thriving admirably. There are still two or three
millions of plants in beds ready for distribution,
while two tons OF seeds have been sown to keep up
the supply-so that in the ensuing season there will
be three or four millions of young plants available.
Tea makers, possessing every qualification, have been
entertained to prepare the produce for the market and
sheet lead makers have been sent for from China.
AS the tea lands in the Kangra valley yield from
two hundred to three hundred pounds of prepared
tea per acre. while the expenses of culture very
small, the profit to be earned by judcious tea cul
tivation must be very great
In the Deyrah Dhoon the progress has been even
more remarkable. The Lieutenant Governor, N. w.
Provinces lately authorized the erection of two new
factories, with the requisite establishments
A subsequent statement supplies us with few
more definite returns regarding the Hota factory.
The whole outturn for the past year 4,726 lbs,
packed in 430 chests Of which l78 chests were
first class teas, and 252 second class The proper
