According to the Morning Chronicle, Lord AUCKTAND has not only
been successful in Afghanistan and in Persia, the Nepalese and Burmese quail before his vigorous policy. A strong corps of observation has been formed on the frontier of Nepal- " That Court was simultaneously informed that all its intrigues had been discovered; that the British Government was prepared to resent thorn; and that nothing but the prompt withdrawal of its advanced posts,,..and the most satisfactory proof that it had altogether abandoned all hostile intentions, could avert the exemplary punishment Of its treachery. Its compliance was instan- taneous and complete. The land force and flotilla in the Southern provinces, ceded by Ava at the close of the last war, were strengthened, in order that the Burmese might be assured that their first hostile movement would be the signal for immediate occupation of Martaban, Rangoon, and Bassein, their only sea- ports : our position in Arracan (another of the conquered provinces) was also reinforced by a flotilla, and by raising a strong corps of natives—whose hatred of their former tyrants is hereditary amid intense—under the command of Eng- lish officers. In regard to all internal threatenings of danger, the British Go- vernment waited in calm watchfulness for the first overt acts of its enemies."
