In Lha-Ssa, as! elsewhere, the Frenchmen w ere received with civility by the Buddhist preists. 0n ont occasion apartments were assigned to them inside a convent of Lamas, they were listened to with attention and re spect, and called the Lamas of IJehovah. Whether this portended, ds they supposed, the great success that waj to crown their missionary labors, is a point thatcannot now be decided, as their residence at Llia Saa jwas brought to' a premature conclusion by the interference of the Chinese Ambass ador who insisted on their being sent out of the country.
