Sylhet, regarding Munnipore, which will place you in full 
possession of the views and sentiments of Government with 
respect to Rajah Gumbheer Singh. His Lordship in 
Council trusts, that as the Burmese themselves retreated 
from the Kubboo district, and retired beyond the Neengte, 
you will succeed in establishing that river as the boundary. 
You will of course consult the senior Commissioner fully 
on this subject, and avail yourself of all the information he 
possesses, as to what passed between him and the Burmese

for the adjustment of a well-defined boundary on the Assam 
and Munnipore frontier; since our permanent occupation 
of all the territory ceded to us on the Martaban and Ten- 
nasserim coast is by no means finally settled, but contin¬

nor-General in Council persuades himself that no serious 
difficulties will be found to exist, the range of mountains 
referred to in the third article of the Treaty of Peace ap¬ 
pearing to extend to the very southern extremity at Negrais. 
If, however, the Burmese should appear to possess a just
