On November 19th, Mr Kellett sent the Consular cler's Nai Sye, a very intelligent and reliablo nativo, to the post office with letters. It was about 7 p.m., and Nas Sye surried an ordinary walking stick while a gervant carried a lanborn. No sooner had the two soreants arrived opposite the bar mucks than Nai Sye was roughly nocosted by several Siamese soklicra, sized, and taken into the barracks. The offence for waich the clerk was arrested was that of carrying a stick in alleged contravedition of toral laws. The Consular clerk protested, and called the attention of the Sinment to the fact that he was a Consular servant, and that his stick was a small ordinary walking cane. These appeals wore, it af- pea, disregarded.

There was no other object in making such imputations than to triumph over truth and justice, to the dishonour of our stay and the pucstige of the Spanish name.
