miscellaneous NOTICES, &c. 
PANGBULU KISANG. 
Parighulu Kisang, feeling aggrieved by the remarks made 
hr the Revd. M. Favre, respecting himself and his ramuy m 
this Journal (ante p. p. 59-61), which had been brought to 
his notice, called upon us to complain of their insertion, de¬ 
claring they were very injurious and undeserved. We told 
him that if he would send us his own version of what passed 
between M. Favre and himself, we should give it the same 
publicity as the narrative of the former, and we now do so. 
We regret that we did not communicate with M. havre 
before this portion of his journal appeared. As it is, we 
trust his good sense will satisfy him of the inexpediency ot 
returning to the subject. If he considers the Parighulu s 
statement too strongly worded, he, like us, will know to make 
allowance for the offended feelings of an old man, who en¬ 
joyed great consideration in former days as one of the princi¬ 
pal ministers of the late Sultan and Tamariggong, and is still 
much respected and consulted by the present Tamariggong. 
Considering the closeness of our relationship to Johore 
and its rulers, we think that greater facilities for travelling 
in this country should exist. All difficulties and attempts 
at exaction might be prevented by certain rates being 5xe 
for the hire of guides, boats, &c., and the different I anghu- 
lus and Batins being instructed to provide them for visitors 
who produce a passport from the Tamariggong. I he at - 
vantages which the Malayan rulers derive from their con¬ 
nection with us in Singapore, and the consideration with 
which they are treated, claim from them something more 
than a mere permission to enter Johore, and the readiness 
with which the Tamariggong complies with individual ap¬ 
plications for letters to his Panghulus, which invariably 
procure the utmost attention to their bearers wherever they 
go, shews that no obstacle would be made to such a nidus in e 
as we have suggested.
