ASfi INDIAMEM The wind having *tired round to the westward, a Wile d o f vessels that were wind-bound have been — t ad to pursue their voyages to the Eastward ; cd t hat were beating about at the mouth of e el, are hou rl y comin g into port. It gives , u eh p l eas ure to be ab le , among other arrivals, to li , no inli nee that of several East-Indiamen. — y estet u day his Majesty's ship Diadem, Rear-Admit ils , row so, from the Cape of Good Hope, arrived the D o wns, having under convoy TA Marchioness of Exeter, Admiral Gardner, ot d Melville, Dover Castle, and the Baring, from fop ' and Madras. un i te d Kingdom, from Madras. p olit ies, Tottenham, and Union, extra ships ) io N e vi and Madras. „haler, and a transport brig, in company, sailed i rs ogal the llth of Octobei; from Madras the sioesober. Arrived at the Cape the 30th Decem. bat wi led from Table Bay the 10th January : riye d e t St. Helena on 25th January, and sailed from dat Hfind on the 3d February. The Castle Eden, and City of London, were Oil at Calcutta. The Metcalfe had arrived at Diamond Harbour, ben o3 ou lbaye cargo out, and was to return there. The Lord Duncan, which was bound to Penang, w i t h tr oops and stores, had returned to Sangor, on account of bad weather, probably would have oc ,tasion to be docked. The Duke of M ontrose, from St, Helena, passed Sangor 2d October. The General Stuart was lying at Sangor ready for v,andexpected to be dispatched as a packet. The Admiral Gardner spoke the Walpole between the Reefs the I 1 th October, having lost her mizen• wag, but otherwise well. The Surrey and Lady Castlereagh were said to be safe of the Sand Heads. Tae Marquis Wellesley had gone to the Isle of France as a cartel, and had not returned. The Worce:;ter had gone on the expedition to the Ustward, under Sir EDWARD YELLER - . The extra ships Tigris and Experiment sailed from the Cape, for Madras, the 10th January. The East Indiamen arrived in the Downs, sailed from Bengal on 11th of October, and from Madras on the 24th ; arrived at the Cape of Good Hope on the 50th December : sailed from thence on the 10th of January; arrived at St. Helena the 25th of ditto, and sailed from thence on the sth February. The Expe &lent and Tigris East Indiamen arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, and sailed from thence on the 10th of January for India. It appears by information received this day, that &outward-bound extra ships, which sailed under ecomy of Reur-Admiral Dnonv, in his Majesty's ship Monmouth, only passed the Cape the 7 i December, instead of having arrived in Table Bay, as advised in a former account. There was a report yesterday, that Malta was to be netted into an Independent Kingdom, under the protection of this Country, and that Louts XVIII. was to be declared its Sovereign. The rumour was perhaps occasioned by the fact having transpired, that ionic Members of the Bourben family are about to owed to Malta. The Duke of ORLEANS and his brother are at Portsmouth, with the intention of embarking for that Island on board the Volontaire, Captain BuLLEN. The pressure of the distress in Portugal, in conse quence of the want of provisions, has become such as to urge Jcsor to grant licences for the importation of provisions by neutrals. Under these licences, se veral neutrals arc, we understand, chartered, and now rating out for the ports of Portugal ; and they will of course bring back wine and fruit. The long-agitated question respecting the abolition of individual Army Agency, is at length settled. It is to continue nearly on the same plan as it has been for some years past. The allowance for managing the Regiments of Infantry is to continue the same, but a reduction of one-half is to be made from the present allowance for Regiments of Cavalry. Lord REDDIDALE has received a noble legacy of an otate in Gloucestershire, worth .5 or 60001. a year, by the last will of the late Mr. FREEMAN.
