spread to our usual visitants, who have deserted
us these several days past. In the course of
yesterday I drew up a final address for the mem-
bers of the looto, and, with great difficulty, got it
translated into the Burmhan language. As I have
never positively refused to receive his majesty's
commission, but endeavoured only to evade it, as
nugatory and embarrassing, yet, as complaisance
therein may tend to reconciliation, I mean to in-

yesterday, I sent my interpreter early in the
morning to the woondock, to inform him, that I

for it, and told my interpreter, that if he and the
mewjerry would go to the looto at noon, it should

be here in twenty-five days. As I have ever been
willing to meet these people half way, whenever
I have found them disposed to treat me with
