recent shocking tragedy at Burmah,
mentioned in these dispatches OF Feb
ruary 20. MagiOce WOongyee, who for
long time had enjoyed the confidence
OF the King, and who had taken many
steps toward establishing something
like a constitutional and settled form of
administration, suddenly incurred the
diSpleasure OF the King, and was dis
missed from his Office and placed under
arrest The King believed this Minis
ter had not only been corrupt in re-
spect to the finances, but dislOy-
al to himself. 4 cabal, COM
posed OF the Kings fayOrites, urged
him to return to the former
despotic system of government, and so
wrought upon his mind that he pres
emily threw into prison his brothers,
the Princes, and ordered them to be
treated with great cruelty. They were
there for some time before the order was
issued for their execution, almost
starved, and their limbs became SO ema-
ciated that new irons had to be put
upon them, as the old ones were found
TO be too large. On the day OF the exc
cution the young King, who had for
some time been leading an extremely
dissipated life, was wrought upon to
such an extent, and il is said, was in
tOXicated at the moment he gave the or
der for the execution OF the Princes and
their relatives. The order was imme-
diately carried out, and eighty-eight per-
sons were butChered.
