October 6, 1866

There is a revolution going on in Burmah, and no less than four Princes, sons and grand- sons of the reigning monarch, have each been proclaimed King. The second son seems to have begun it, having murdered his elder brother and tried to murder his father, and taken possession of all the border territory. It is sup- posed, however, that another pretender, son of the murdered Crown Prince, has the best chance; but the only thing certain is, that each will kill as many of the others as he .can, and the survivor will reign.
