THE TREATY WITH ENGLAND AND ITS EFFEcrs-RE.
MISiscfNCEs or rHE kiS0-THE AMERICAN MIS-
s1oNARiEs-wuAT gHE sIAMEsE PoTESTATrs
From the China News Of the Church, Feb. IL
The Siamese government and the people show
their real interest in the treaty with Great Britain,
(ormed last spring under the able management OF
cir John Bowring,) by the earnestness with which
they are making preparations for carrying on
hisk and profitable commerce with foreign natisns.
One or two steamers and merchantmen are being
built by them, on foreign models; and every sign in
dcates an astonishing amount OF vigor and zeal in
this singular people.
We are glad to perceive that the interest Of Chris
tian nations b the Samese people Is beginning to be
excited.
At meeting Of the Royal Geographical Society,
held on December 10, q paper was read to the mem
hers by Mr.. Consul Parker, Of Annoy, giving dc.
tail Of the information he had acquired during bis
visit 10 the Kingdom Of Siam in the staR Of his Elk
cellency Sir John Bowring. The particulars on the
geography of the country, and the manners and
customs, gave great satisfaction. Mr.. Parker hand
soruely acknowledged the assistance that had been
afforded him In his Investigations by the American
missionaries. The map of the Meinaum river, which
he laid before the society, had been drawn up by
these missionaries
An article on the same subject was read by Mr.
Parker at one Of the sections Of the British Asso-
citation, during Its sessions at Glasgow In September
last.
The chief king of Siam was formerly known as
Prince Chowfa His name has lnng been In the re-
cords of American missions to that country, rs a
man Of remarkable intelligence and devotedness to
the study Of truth. Ia consequence of Information
that has recently been brought 20 light among us re-
garding his Majesty, II u pleasing TO find that NJ a

consisted in their protection Of the interests of
