No lands could be better cultivated than they are all the way, or better studded with groves and beautiful single trees.

The villages and hamlets along the road are numerous, and filled with cultivators of the gardener and other good classes, who seem happy and contented.

The season has been favourable, and the crops are all fine, and of great variety.

Sugar- cane abounds, but no mills are, as yet, at work.

We passed through, and by three or four villages, that have been lately taken from Maun Sing, and made over to farmers by the local authorities, under instructions from Court; but they are not so well cultivated, as those which he retains.
