in India, and by the great Encouragement he
gave them, got about 1000 Volunteers into
his Service. Neither the Stamers wo? the c Pe-
guers at that Time underftood the Ufe of
Fire Arms, and their Noife and Execution at
fo great a Diftance terrified them. \\ ith
the 'Tortu^ueze Alfiflance, the 'Peguer went
with his Army, which was very numerous,
to find out the S'tamer^ and having found
him, gave him Battle, the Portuguese being
in the Front with their Fire Arms, foon put
the Stamer to Flight before they could come
to Handy-blows, on which he left the Pe-
guers Country in greater Hafte than he
(?ame into it.
The King of Tegu was fo fenfible of the
c Portugueze Service in gaining the Battle,
and driving the Stamers out oi his conquered
Country, that he made one Senhor Thoma
Tereyra (who commanded the Portugueze
in the War) Generaliflimo of all his Forces,
which Preferment made the Portugueze fo
infolent, that in a few Years they became
intolerable to all Ranks and Degrees of Per-
fons in P'egu.
Both Kings grew tired of War, but both
too proud to make Advances toward Peace,
fo that for many Years they had skirmifhing
with fmall Parties, tho' no fet Battles, and
where ever the Portugueze Arms went,
they had Vidory to accompany them.
The King of Pegu, to have his Forces
nearer the Borders of Siant^ fettled his Court
at Martavan, and kept the Portugueze near
C 3 him.
