teasepisility and prosperity to the I nourab;e Com-
pany's possessions.
I discharge a sotisfanory part of my puli'dc duty
in etiressiug to your Honourable Cuomo:tee the
'high sense which I entertain of those able and dis-
tinguished exertions on the part of the R;glit Hon.
I lord Lake, by which the peace has bcen accom-
plished, and which, I trust, will appear to your Ho-
nourable Committee to establish his Lordship's
claim to the highest approbation and applause.
I consider it to be a duty also to caps ess my sense
of the zeal and ability manifested by Lieutenak
Colonel Malcolm in the conduft of the neguriotions
, for the conclusion of peach, which was entrusted to
him by the authority of Lord Lake. The merits
and services of that valuable officer are already well
known to your Honourable Committee ; but I trust
that his exertions on this occasion will appear to
your Honourable Committee to have augmented his
claim to public approbation.
To the Hon. Sir George Waco Barlow, But. Goverito--
General, S.c. &c.
St a—l have the honour to inclose a Treaty which
I have concluded with Jeswunt Row Holkar, and
which I this morning received. ratified by that
Chief.
The circumstances which led to a negotiation
with Jeswunt Row Holkar, and the whole progress
of that, to its conclusion, will be fully communicated,
under my orders, to the Secretary in the Secret De-
partment.
I offer you my most cordial congratulations on an
1 event which promises io restore complete tranquil-
I lity to India, and which you will, I am satisfied,
judge to be highly favourable to the interests of the
-British Government.
You were before informed of the situation of Jes-
wunt Rew Holkar, at Amruh, Sir, and cf his ef-
forts to form a combination in this quarter against
the British Power. These were alone defeated by
the advance of the army under my command,
which had also the effet of reducing Jeswunt Row
Holkar to the necessity of concluding the present
treaty, and of renouncing all those views al ambi-
tion which he had so long cherished against the
British Government.
I feel it again my duty to call your attention to
the exertions of Lieutenant-Colonel Malcolm, by
whose knowledge and ability this Treaty has been
negotiated under my dire Lion, and whose many
and important services will, I trust, meet that re.
eonspence to which I confider them so justly en-
titled.
It is try intention to march the day after to-mor-
row towards the British Territories ; And on my
arrival there, I shall lose no time in placing the
army under my command in cantonments.
I have the honour to be, Ste.

LONDON,
MONDAY. Julie SO.
The Omnium was, on Saturday, at 51; and tbis
Consols for opening were at 63. They had attair-
ed a higher price in the preceding week I but their
present state is sufficiently favourable to justify every
thing wilich we have asserted upon the subjeiti
The interchange of Messengers between this coun-
try and France proves the existence of negotiations
of some description, and a variety of concurrent cir-
cumstances encourage the belief, that they have for
their objea a general pacification. Another Mes-
senger sailed from the Downs, on board the Clyde
frigate, on Friday, for Boulogne. He is expeled
back on Tuesday, and from the length of time this
intercourse has been kept up, it may be fairly pre-
sumed, that it is now arrived at an important crisis.

Accounts were received on Saturday from •the
squadron off Rochefort, under the orders of Sir S.
Idoon : they are to the 20th, and report the French
fleet to remain, as usual. in Basque Roads. Our
squadron, which was joined by the Molar. h, on the
17th, in place of the Musicians, come home to refit,
is composed of the Centaur (flag), Prince *f Wales,
Revenge, Coarserer, Monarch, and Polyphemus, In-
ofrjangabk, iffnr, Nnzarol, Admen, and Kissivialiar.

Letters from Plymouth, received in town on Sa-
turday, state the arrival off BeHeide, on the 20th
instant, of Admiral St-taut:o, who had been sent
with six sail of the line, in pursuit of Jcaoss Bo-
AAAAA Cs squadron. Admiral STIRLING, it is
supposed, has returned under an idea that the
French squadron must be on its way back to France;
as, from certain advices from the Isles of I" ranee
and Bourbon, it was evident that it could not pro•
cure supplies there.

We stated in a former Parr, that the Secret
Committee of the Privy Council, on Monday last.
discontinued their sittings upon the very delica.e
business which has excited sa much attention.—We
have nothing new to offer upon the suhjed, consist-
ent with the line of conduct which we have declared
our intention to pursue. In censuring those who
have adopted a different course, we did not mean
to condemn them for staling that such a matter was
in the course of investigation.—lt was against the
affeetation of knowing what must be a secret in the
