April 9.--We received this morning a visit from Mr. De Silveiro. This gentleman had come to Siam about two years before, with the title of Consul from the Viceroy of Goa. The Siamese Government had given him a small piece of ground to build a factory upon, and he had also commenced the building of a large ship. Mr. de Silveiro, whom we frequently saw during our residence in Siam, was a native of the Brazils. He spoke French and English with facility, and made many communications to us with frankness, from the respectable stock of local information which he had already collected. In the evening Ko-chai-sahak called, and took care to remind us that we had dropped some hints respecting certain small presents which we intended to present to the King and the Prince Krom-chiat. These consisted of some spectacles, and a few specimens of English cutlery. Such was the anxiety even for these trifles, that...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of an Embassy From the Governor-General of India to the Courts of Siam and Cochim China, 1830, Vol. 2 of 2: Exhibiting a View of the Actual State of Those Kingdoms The Siamese have the same prejudice against white teeth with many other Eastern people, and at an early age they stain them with an inde lible black, without, however, filing and destroy ing the enamel Of the front teeth, like the Indian islanders. In other respects, they evince no dis position to disfigure the natural form Of the body, and are especially to be distinguished from the Burmans and Peguan s, by the gen eral practice Of tattooing the whole body, which prevails among the two last tribes. Among the Siamese the use Of tobacco has be come universal; they chew it in moderate quan tities, but smoke it perpetually. A Siamese is seldom to be seen without a cigar in his mouth, or stuck behind his ear ready for use. Of the areca and betel-nut they are perhaps the most constant and persevering consumers Of all the people Of the East, exceeding in this respect even the Malays themselves. The soil and climate are peculiarly suited to the production of both, and the cheapness which is the consequence, no doubt contributes, along with the indolent character Of the people, to render the consumption so great. The preparation, as they use it, is the same as in other countries, with the exception of the catechu, which forms no part Of the ingredients.
