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

. 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.

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

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.
