 second and tfvjrd are not noticed either in the re- 

 ply, or in the subsequeat Treaty of Ked^»h.(AppeD- 

 dix B.\ concluded in 1798 on the cession of the 

 coast opposite the hlmd of Pinaag^, now deno- 

 minated Province Wellesley. This Treaty consists 

 of ff)urteen ai tides, the only one of whtcii that at 

 adverts to the claim of Kedah for protection is 

 the second, in which, after recording the cession 

 of the sea-coast between Kwala Kriaoand the ri^ 

 ver sid'i of Kwala Moodah, it is stipulated that *• 

 the English Compiiuy are to protect this coast 

 from all enemies, roi)bers, and pirates, that may 

 attack it by sea from North or South." The 

 Treaty therefore clearly avoids touching upon the 

 ground of afFt»rdin^ assistance to Kcduh ; but, if we 

 turn to the previous letter of ihe Governor Gene- 

 rat to the kiijj of Kedah, by which the latter was 

 induced to sign this very Treaty, we find lliese 

 unequivocal expresKionp. It han been resolved to 

 accept the king of Qiied^h'^ ofter to the Compa-
