sr litary Chtrges of the several Presidencies iusepar- able from a state - of War. have the satisfaaion to inform your Honourable Court, that perfe& trariquillity prevails In every quarter of the Company's Dominions; and I am not aware of the probability of any occurrence of a nature calculated to disturb it, or to impair the fun damental sources of the British power and prosperity in India. . Dispatches have been also received from Sir G. H. Barlow, dated Illahabad, the 24th December, 1805, from which it appears,• that, in consequence . of the Treaty of PeAcp with Scindiali, and_ the.confi= dent expel ation a a Peace with Holkar, orders. had been issued for the return of the Troops belonging to the Presidenoies of Madras and Bombay within ,the limits of those Governments respeaively, where they were to be distributed in. Cantonments, and placed on a Peace Establishment. Dispatches were received last night at the Admi ralty from, the Cape of Good Hope the Officer Who brought them arrived at 'Portsmouth yesterday morning 'i n the rfaive Frigate. He sailed from the Cape .in a Cartel, but falling iii with the detiVC, vent on board her. The intelligence Which he brings is very important. On the 4th of March C: Yoluntaire Frigate, one of the Vessels belonging to Admiral VILLIAMEZ'S Squadron (which consists of six Sail of the Line, and which sailed from Brest in D ec. last), put into the Cape to obtain supplies for the Squadron, supposing that it still remained in the posses sion of the Dutch. Sir Hone POPHAM, in the Dittdem, was then lying at Table Bay, and observing the Frigate at a distance, and supposing ber to be :in Enemy, he hoisted Dutch .C010ur5.,... This manoeuvre succeeded completely, for the Yoluntaiie - entered the Bay, and anchored near the Diadem, and - was immediately taken possession of • without ally resistance. It appears that the Ilabmigire was a great way a-head of the rest of the Squadron ; for the Cartel, on her vissage . home, fell in with Admiral \Tutu- Spladron ; the lat. and long. is not mention. 'td, but it was supposed that it was off St. Helena.— JERom E tONAPARTE conanaands one of the Ships of the SquAron. The 611 owing Bulletin was this morning issued by the t,ctrniralty "'ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, MAY 16. " Thu Volunlaire French Frigate was taken pos session o fat the Cape of Good Hope on the 4th of Alarch. A Cartel from 'thence with prisoners fell iu with ;i Squadron under command of M. VILLIA ' MEZ, out the 20th, the latitude and longitude not Stated, but supposed to be off St. Helena." •As socm as Sir R. STRACHAN'S Squadron is refitted, -, will WI, it is supposed, for the East Indies.. Sir 'J. R. WARREN has arrived with his prizes, the -Marengo and Belle Pottle, at Portsmouth. The ibliow-ing .Notice was yesterday posted at LLOYDS: " The Bingham, W.LLIAmsoN, arrived at Phlladelphia on :the 4th of April,. from China. On the tad of March, in lat. 25. long. 63. was boarded by the Cleopatra Frigate, C'aptain n who informed Capt. WILLI AL/SON, that a French Squadron, under Admiral G ANT kif.AUME, had captured the outward-bound China Fleet." The above statement we have the satisfa&ion of knowing is incorreet ; because intelligence of as late a date as the 24th March has been received from the outward-bound Fleet, and at that time they were all The attention of the Court at Westminster Hall this day was principally engaged by Sir ARTHUR PIGOTT, a was cLiployed in giving a minute ex- Planaton of the At of Parliament upon which the Charges against the Noble Defendant were founded.
