recently demanded from the Siamese gov
eminent the cession of certain lands on
Bangkok river and the release of several
Annamites and Tonkinese from prison.
This demand was fatty refused by the
Siamese government, much to the indig
nation of the minister. He thereupon left
Bangkok on the pretext of accompanying
his wife home in. consequence of illness.
