202 JOURNAL OP A RESIDENCE
Mr. Moncourtusc informed me, that he was going
to deliver the letters to the packaan whoonghce,
and requested to know if I had any message to
send. I told him that I had none directly from
myself, but directed him to inform the whoonghee
and cnga's whoon, as privately from himself, that
he knew I would receive no public letter from
them until I had been publicly received as the
agent of the Bengal Government, and treated with
the respect due to my rank. I have been now here
thirty-six days; I was permitted to land without
the smallest attention paid me ; to provide a house
for myself and for the maintenance of my family
without receiving the smallest aid from the mem-
bers of government, in their public capacity ; nor
has one person of rank been to visit me. I there-
fore thought this a proper opportunity to refresh
the memories of the regent's ministers, and to
enforce my claims to the attention due to me. I
foresaw when I landed, that I should have some
difficulty in managing the pertinacity of those aged
and sagacious counsellors, but relying on my old
remedies, patience, and perseverance, I had little
doubt of ultimately succeeding, and hope the mo-
ment is near at hand; as it should seem their con-
duct towards me has not the sanction of his ma-
jesty, and my present resolution must necessarily
bring the contest to an issue one way or other. Be-
