The last dispatches from India are of the most
pacific and satisfadory nature. Throughout every
part of the Company's possessions the utmost tran-
quilliry prevails. In the Dekkan this happy har-
mony has met with no interruption since the peace
concluded by Sir ARTHUR Wasstssev. in 1P03.
The Peishwah does not cease daily to manifest
fresh proofs of his entire satisfaAion, under the en-
gagements Le has entered into with the country.
The result of our alliance with the Nizam is most
prosperous and &wishing, and the Rajah cf BERAR
is stria, to a degree, in maintaining the relations of
amity with the klriti*h. Scrum All is in the southern
part of Maliva, with an army utterly incapable of
attempting any offensive operations against the
Company. HOLK At% condition is rot less des-
titute and hopeless, while the I/lost rancorous
animosity subsists between him and Scrtina*K.—
In Bundkcund, the Company's authority is firmly
established, and the petty Chieftains in the North-
West frontier of klindostan, being entirely relieved
from the pa)mer.t cf tribute, have refrained from
molesting any part of our possessions in that
quarter. Thus, it would satisfaCtorily appear, that
the issue of the Mahratta war has been produaive
of as favourable consequences as c‘mld be exroded
to arise from the hints of our vifories; and that
the best grounded hope may be entertained,
that our external relations in India are now bottom-
ed upon a solid and durable basis, which can never
be shaken, as long as we continue to ad upon the
principles by which our present power has been
acquired. Such a system must prove a dea:h-blow
to the hopes and machinations of &okras:l-s
against the security or our Asiatic possessives.

The last dispatches from India represent a total
change as having taken place in this liberal and
useful institution. In.truEtions have recently been
received to that effelt in India from the Court of
Direaors The ins:i:ation cannot now be consi-
dered of the eztensive utility as was the College
established by Lord Wellesley ; a' •d therefore what.
ever consequences may result from so radical a
change, should not be imputable to that Noble Lord.
Ihe expense of tue pecreq establishment is con-
fined to twenty thousand pounds per annum,
wuich is about the Mtn part of the annual reve-
nues of the Company in India. 'Pith sum is in-
tended to be applied solely to the instruaion of the
junior servants at 13r0g.11 qtr the oriental languages.
1 hue are not to remain in the College more than
one ysar, and they may quit it at a shorter period
of time, if their progress be such as to warrant it.—
The new Culli.y,e is to b.- under the superintendencr
of a Committee of the Senior Civil Servants of the
Company, who have made a gratu.tous (iffer of their
services: the offices of Provost and Vice-Provost
are abolished, and there does not r emain any provi-
sion for religious discipline. No arrangement ap-
pears to be made for the instration of the junior
civil servants at Madras or Bombay, where of iental
knowledge is most defigicit, and the present institu-
tion it totally dii eaed to the histru!lion of the civil
servants at Denial, where the knowledge of oriental
literature is most advanced.

The annual expense of Lord Wellesley's Col-
lege was item 4.5 to 30,0001. "This sum provided
an establishment, under the superintendence of a
Provost, and a Vice-Provost, for the instruCtion of
all the junior civil servants of the Company at Ben-
gal, Madras, and Bombay, not only in the oriental
languages, but is various other branches of science,
and of fool knowledge, indispeusable for persons
who are to administer the Government of our
extensive and various pessessions in India. This
institution aaually produced above 04C hundred
vougg men, who have since been employed in the
public' service with distinguished success, and with
great advantage to the public interest. At Madras
and Bombay, the young men who have been educated
at the College of Calcutta, are the only persons in
these establishments who have any accurate know-
ledge of the oriental languages. If the tapeless of the
presets:limited institution at Bengal be added to the
expense of the College which has been established at
Hertford, it will be found that the expense of the pre-
; sent arraigemen: for the initiation of the junior
civil servants of the Company, is at least as great
as the expense of Lord Wellesley's original hutitu-
, tion, which has bet.. so much censured on the score
of expense, while it is evident that at an equal expense
it does not :Toed any thing likeequal advantages with
the e.tabl ishrnent that has lately been abolished. It is
also to he tegretted,:hat no provision has been made
in the new arrangement for the respectable Clergymen
who have so long and so successfully superintended
the management of the late College: they were se-
leaed for their known talent*, and enticed away
from other settlements in life, yet it would appear
they have been coldly dismissed, without any remu-
neration :or their meritorious services in this most
important of all occupations.
