effected by force Of arms The gallantry of my
European and Indian force under Gen Pen
dergast rapidly brought the country under
my powers, and I Lave decided that the most
certain methods Of insurng peace and order
Is to be found in the permanent Incorporation OF
the Kingdom OF Burmah with my empire. The
time which has lapsed since I assumed the
direct government Of India, makes it desirable
that the operation OF tho statutes by which that
change was Effected, should be carefully investi-
