ENVOY’S REPORT OF IIIS MISSION. 
To George Swinton, Esq. Secretary to the 
Government. 
POLITICAL DEPARTMENT. 
Sir —I have the honour to lay before his Excellency the 
Right Honourable the Vice-President in Council a full and 
circumstantial narrative of the proceedings of the Mission 
to the Court of Ava, from the period of its quitting Ran¬ 
goon. Referring to the details therein contained, I shall 
confine my present dispatch to a few necessary remarks, 
and explanations upon the results of the Mission. 
Prom the narrative of our proceedings, it will be seen 
that, on the 23d of November, a Commercial Treaty was 
concluded with the Burmese Government, a copy of which 
is appended to this dispatch. I had not the advantage of 
receiving the public and detailed instructions of Govern¬ 
ment until the day after that document was signed and 
sealed. I trust, however, it will be found that, in the con¬ 
duct of the discussion throughout, I have followed the prin¬ 
ciples laid down for my guidance in the general instructions
