A. Campbell, had been intercepted, opened, and 
perused by the Ministers of the Lut-d’hau. A 
copy of the letter in question was one of the

preme Government, and this enabled me to 
bring the matter forward, without compromising 
the persons from whom I had derived my infor¬ 
mation. The following conversation ensued re¬ 
specting it. 
E. Have any letters from European officers 
lately arrived here ? At the termination of the 
war, a British officer in Cassay sent a letter by 
two Bunnan officers to the address of Sir A. 
Campbell, or one of his principal officers ; I beg 
to know what has become of it ?— B. This may 
be one of the letters to which we allude. 
E. It cannot be so. The letter to which I 
allude was dated the sixth of April last. Your 
accounts, you say, are dated in September.— B. 
The letter to which we allude was in English. 
It was open, and translated and sent down here 
in Burman. 
E. Have you got the original here now? — 
B. No, but we will bring it to-morrow. 
E. The letter to which I refer was delivered 
to two Burman officers by the writer. The 
officers in question were the same who were 
sent by the British and Burman commissioners
