According to the latest intelligence from Burnish, the Viceroy of

India has issued a notification declaring all disputes between Burmah and India ended, except as regards the right of the Indian Government to send an escort with its next expedition to Western China. This right the Kiilg persistently refused to grant. Another request, which will, we imagine, take the form of an ultimatum, will be sent to him on this subject, and it is hoped that peace will be preserved. Clearly the Indian Government does not wish for war, but then unfortunately the Indian Govern- ment is not the only party to the dispute. If the King fancies we are afraid to persist in our demands, he will very speedily attempt some act which will make negotiations impossible.
