"In the first place, the greatest part of the trade of Siam is in our hands. In 1800, the total of the exports and imports of Bangkok was close upon £6,000.000. Various circumstances led to this total being much smaller for 18gt; and later than 18g our Foreign Office has not yet been able to brin” out its relarne.
