BUG G ESSES. 
% ’ 
The Buggesses come from Borneo, and 
the Celebes; though commonly considered 
as Malays, their Language is perfectly 
distinct, and indeed, in every particular, 
they appear a different People; they are 
Bold, Independent, and Enterprising; 
make good Soldiers, and if treated with 
kindness, are attached and faithful. They 
have a small Town on the Penang River; 
their numbers have lately increased ; many 
of their Prows come here annually, and 
exchange their Gold Dust, and Cloths, for 
Iron, Opium, &e.

BURMAHS*
