JOURNAL OF AN EMBASSY 
ance in men, money, or advice to Gumbheer 
Singb, to your prejudice. I cannot order the 
removal of the British officers from Munnipore, 
but will request the Governor-General to recall 
them, that you may have no cause of complaint. 
-— JB. When you say that you will communicate 
with Gumbheer Singh on these points, do you 
mean that you-will send letters by your own 
people or ours ? 
E. I will send letters by an officer of our 
party, if you choose. After he has executed his 
commission, he will proceed to Bengal through 
Akobat and Assam. Gumbheer Singh states, 
that certain portions of his country are now oc¬ 
cupied by the Burmese ; and you, on the other 
hand, state, that large districts belonging to you 
are forcibly occupied by him. Do you wish 
that an arbitration should be made by the Go¬ 
vernor-General, or that the matter be decided 
by commissioners nominated by you and us.— 
B. We wish to let the matter remain as you 
have now stated it; that is, that both parties 
should refrain from aggression.— E. As by the 
Treaty of Yandabo, Gumbheer Singh is admit¬ 
ted by you to be independent, it will be proper 
that some principle should be assumed for de¬ 
fining the boundaries of territory between you.
