THE list dispatches from India are of the Ino-lt
pacific and satisti&ory nature. .Througboot every
part of the Company's Possessions the utmost tran-
quillity prevails.
In the Dekan this happy harmony ha,- het with.
no interruption Since the peace concluded ,by Sir
ARTHUR WELLELEV in 1803. The' PeiSh Wah does
not cease daily to manifest fresh prods of his entire
satisfaCtion, under the engagements be has entered
into:with the Country. The result of our alliance
- with the Nizam is most prosperous and 4lourishtng,
and The Rajah 'of BERM{ is stria, to a degree; in
maintaining the relations of amity with the British.
. SCINDIAH is in the Southern part of 'Alaliva, with
an army utterly 'incapable of attempting any otYen-
'lvo. operations against the Company. HoLKAR's
condition is not less destitute and hopeless, while
the most rancorous;animosity subsists between him.
and .SCINDIAH.
'ln Bundlecued, the CompanY's authority is firmly
established, and . the petty Chieftains in the .North-
West frontier of Hiudostan, being entirely relieved
fro Tis the payment of tribute, have-retrained from
molesting any part of our Possessions in that quarter.
Thus it would satisfactorily appear, that the issue
of the Mahratta war has been produ&ive of as fa—
vourable consequences as could be expected to arise
from the fruits of our viaories; and that the best
grounded hope may be entertained that our external
relations in India are now bottomed upon a solid and
durable basis, which can never be shaken, as long
45 We continue to ad .upon the principles by which
our present power has been acquired. Such a system
nliat prove a. death-blow to the hopes and machina-
tions of aUONAPARTE against the security of our
4lsiatie Possessious.

COLLEGE OF FORT WILLIAM.
.We are sorry, however, to have to observe, that
the same dispatches represent a total change as hay-.
tng taken place in this liberal and useful Institution.
Instrudiens have recently been received to that
elfee.t in India • from the Court of I?ireCtOrs.
The-Institinion cannot now. be cousidered of the
extensive utility :as was the College established
by Lord WELLISSLEY ; and therefore whatevrr con-
‘e,citlences may result from so radical a change
Eilutild not be imputable to that Noble Lord: The
"'Pence of the present Establishment is confined to
twenty thousand pounds. per rum. which is aboUt.the
revers hundred and fiftieth part of the annual revenues
°f the Company in India. This sum is intended to
applied solely to the instrualon of the junior sex-,
v3'its,at Bengal in. the oriental languages. They are
nut to remain in the College more than one year,
'ilk( they may quit it at a shorter period ;of. time' if
i progress be such as to warratit it. • The new
College is to be under, the sciperintendatice of: al.
Committee of the senior civil servants of the

vices: the Offices of Provost and Vice-Provost ale

Fe made for the instrpetion of the junior civil ser-
vants at Madras or Bombay, where oriental know-
Mtge isirioit' deficient, and the present institution is,
totally directed' to the instruaion of the civil servants
itilengal, where the knowledge' of oriental litera-
is most advanced.
