the Emperor to the Court of Pagia, at that time the King's residence. Om appearing before | the throne the envoys declined. to remove their shoes, and were beheaded by the Burmese with- out further ceremony. The notion of the earlier of our avg, envoys on this, and the subjoot of etiquete generally, at the Burmese Court, hat, for one pen sake, perkara, better not be described. Even in modern times, only one dignified attempt has been made to break through the humiliating practions exacted by the Bar mose Count from foreignore. This was in 1830, when the able and anergotio Rosidant, Colonel Barney, failed in his endeavours, chiefly for want of support from the Government of India. An aggremio war, in the course of which InhumÜN. sursaities were committed, had been carried into our territories in Eastern Bengal; retribution had followed, and after crushing' defast and the loss of a third of their country, a treaty was signed within a few mEos of the capital. A Re- sidant was appointed, and, in any country bet Bormat, would have been received with certai outward to as of respect, as representative of the conquoring Government, if not with any degres of love; but the effects of military power are lost upon anwar heroes, and the Court of Ave, true to its barbarons ecossit, subjected the Be sidant to every kind of insult, successfully re- sisted his endeavours to appronoh the King in a sirilized manner, and deprived him of the manns of withdrawing to the coast. They are usi yot sufficiently hanblad,” wratə Colonel Burney, and shortly afterwards, wocu unt with their tor. giversations and want of faith, sed soving the utility of further dissuasion with such poopla,” he contrived to quit Ayn as a private individuel /Union Insurance Society of Canben, Limited-Palicios jesued for sums not erdasting £5,000,
and on his own responsibility. The Government
at Calcutta wern callons to ixruits that did not trach them personally, and bore up, with heroism, against the indignities heopod apan their representative at a distance, of which they read only in occasional letters of a month old. He was in the hands of the enemy; the Gorera mont shut their eyes to the fact, but the sony did not, sad took advantage of the opportunity to assert their lille power. Some 20 years aftar Colons Burnay's departure, the growing op rogance of the Barmes, and the immunity from consequences enjoyed moanwhile, brought on s second war, when another arashing defeat of the King's army took place, other large tract of territory (Pega) became British soil and another treaty was concluded. By this time (1855) it might be thought thet British power had baan sufficiently established to enable our representa tive to communicate with the King without hambling himself in the dust. But conciliation prevailed over all other considerations, and an envoy was once more sent by the conquerors to the conquered, to prostrate himself and show, by his deportment, that whatever grates the British nation might szrogate to itself away from tas Royal presence of the Golden Foot, still theru, at least, it was bound to solnomade

Afto Major Phayre's missīm, Political Agents constantly resided at Mandalay down to 1879, and though treated, on the whole, with a little lass arrogance than the agents of Sir John Shore at the end of the last century, they were still oblig ed to take off their shoes and sward both to the King and to the Ministers, and to go through their audiences with the former kneeling siða ways, on an uncarpeted floor, st a distance of about 30 feet from the Golden Foot, whoss habit it was le observe them through'an opera-glass during the performance. When, a few years ago, a rather short, but otherwise woll-developed of floor represented British Majesty at Mandalay, it was not uncommon to see an audierine broken up by the physical inability of tho Resident to retain his painful position. Yet it rumoured that he practised sitting at an- dienos for several Fours a day in his own office. The lite King wall to his ad- vantage in this respect, and when unplenannt. questions were under discussion his simple is 10° diplomacy prompted him to praling the inter

On the ¦ it, an vocation of Sir Dongles Forsyth's mission, in 1875, it was strongly urged in many quarters that the opportunity should be availed of to WI break through all degrading customs, but con siliation again prevailed over considerations of dignity, and the enroy received instructions not to press any point of stiquette distasteful to the King. Thus, Sir Douglas Forsyth, with a 79- time of half-a-dozen oficere, and a guard of 64 English soldiers and blus jacketa, was forced, after a mild remonstrance, to go through the same degrading ceremonies as of old.
