ing formerly been restored by the Bri. tish authorities to the family of the reigning Rajah, after a temporary con- ́ vulsion, had been more distinctly recognized as a dependency of Bengal. They called on the Rajah to acknowledge subimission and allegiance to the King of Ava, and a demonstration was actually made to enter his territory, when the advance of the British troops frustrated the execution of their hostile design.

The deliberate silence of the court of Amerapoora, as well as the combination and extent ofthe operations undertaken by its officers, leave it no longer doubtful that the acts and declarations of the subordinate authorities are fully sanctioned by their sovereign, and that that haughty and barbarous court is not only determined to withhold all explanation and atonement for past injuries, but meditates projects of the most extravagant and unjustifiable aggression against the British Government.

The Governor General in Council, therefore, for the safety of our subjects and the security of our districts, already seriously alarmed and injured by the approach of the Burmese armies, has felt himself imperatively called on to anticipate the threatened invasion. The national honour no less obviously requires that atonement should be had for wrongs so wantonly inflicted, and so insolently maintained; and the national interests equally demand that we should seek, by an appeal to arms, that security against future insult and aggression which the arrogance and grasping spirit of the Burmese government have denied to friendly expostulation and remonstrance.

With these views and purposes, the Governor General in Council has deemed it an act of indispensable duty to adopt such measures as are necessary to vindicate the honour of the British Government, to bring the Burmese to a just sense of its character and rights, to obtain an advantageous adjustment of our eastern boundary, and to preclude the recurrence of similar insult and aggression in future.

Still animated by a sincere desire for peace, and utterly averse from all purposes of aggrandizement, the Governor General in Council will rejoice,if the objects above mentioned can be accomplished without carrying the war to extremities. But to whatever length the conduct of the Burmese government may render it necessary to prosecute hostilities, his

Lordship in Council relies with confidence on the justice of our cause, on the resources of the Government, and on the approved valour of our troops, for the early and successful termination of the contest.

By Command of the Right Honourable the Governor General in Council, GEORGE SWINTON, Sec. to Gov.
