EAST INDIA INTELLIGENCE.

BONSAY.—Letters from the Northward state, that.
five Dutch vessels had beer. taken off Curache, in
Siud. by a fleet of Joasmee pirates ; .ta o only had,
cargoes :—three were sunk, one carried off, and one

From the Bombay Cowin. t.. 44 In the voyage of
the Hannah, Captamll4,Quiker, from London and
Madeira f Boinbay, Monday, 2lit of March, 1814,
lat. 89. 4.5. S. noon, long. 20. 41.51. E. by S. this
gallant merchant vessel has performed as singular an
exploit as e remember to have had the satisfaction
of recording. She beat off, and was only prevented
by the superior sailing of her antagonist, from taking
an American sloop of war, of 22 guns, full of men,
and completely equipped for the predatory system of
warfare. When it is considered that a vessel of 450
tons, with a small complement of men, and ill-adapted
in every respect for warlike contest, engaged in a
most determined manner fot four or five hours, a sloop
of war of such a description, and succeeded in the
contest, it is impossible to abstain from admiration."
Cacctrrra.—The Ukbars announce the return of
the Dewan Mehukhim Chund to Lahore. No actual
compromise appears, hOwever,to have been concluded
with Futteh Khan.
Sooj3a-ul-Moolk, the Ex-King of Cabul,.bad like-
wise arrived at the same capital, on his route from
Rawelpindo ; he had been attacked by 200 horse-
• men, who robbed him of his jewels.
. The pecuniary distresses of Holkar's Court appear
to have received nn essential relief ; a party of his
own horse, it is said, had even attempted to force
their way into the Rajah's tent, but had been pre-
vented from entering by the constancy of the Chaud-
Fultan and another corps of infantry.
AbIEER KHAN had taken leave of the Bhae, and set
out from Bhanpiorah, being called away by some
commotion among his own followers.
A body of Pendarrees, consisting of about 10,000
horse, and two regiments of infantry,' with 11 guns,
had entered Holkar's territory, and were plundering
the country in the neighbourhood of Andoor. Re-
monstrances against this incursion had been trans-
mitted by the Bhae to Scindea, in whose service or
alliance those Pendarrees were supposed to be.
From Tirhoot reports were flattering throughout
the district : the first crop of indigo was shooting up
with a luxuriance, of which for.many years there had
been no example.

IRISH PEACE PRE,ERVAT4ON BILL.
lord LIVERPOOL moved the third reading of the Irish
reice Fr& servation

'll7e Earl of DONOUGHMORE thought Magistrates and
Constables, acquainted is ith the Country, would be much more
effectual in tinivs of disturbance, than disbanded soldiers, and
etpernumtraries of the Po'ice of Dublin. He continued to
the measure altogether inefficient. He was sorry to d ffer
from setae great authorities with whom he generally agreed,
'who had stated that this Bill had been productive of beneficial
S:ccts.—l lowevt r, that authority was less valuable, in his opi-
ithln, in the tit eie•tt case, than in most others, as be knew it
was not suppoe:ei by competent intormation. He had no ob-
jectinn to the alit:adorn now proposed; bat he was firmly con-
vinced that the alit could never be converted into a machine pro-
yiy to quiet ally part of Ireland, which might happen to be in a
d,,terlled state.

'llse Earl of LIVERPOOL, said, that although several per-
rims 1-. ad objected to the Insurrection Act, the present Bill had
almost met with general appr,•bation. However necessary it
might be to put the Insurrection Act in force, it was still, pre
faqi, a suvensiim of the Constitutlon of the country ; but the
;.r• sett measure left the laws it. full force. It was an addi;
or,l st:inulus to Magistrates to do their duty, as the expense
%Lich it would cause to the dieurbed tlis rive, would induce
them to exert themselves strenuously for the maintenance of
tranquill.ty. If. this Bin %.111 Ciblld ill its principle, it was not
enough, even admitting this to be the fact, to say that it had
not been productive of any beneficial effects, to induce Parlia-
ment to repeal it; for Parliament ought to have a more sufficient
experience of the measure, before it could •be repealed. Theie
was a sufficient guard against abuse in the expense which was
necessarily entailed on the districts when the measure was called
Into operation.
the Earl of DONOUGHMORE in explanation said, be had
not cr.atendied that the Bill ought to be repealed; he had merely
contradicted the statement that it had been attended with bent-
hc;ll ;of:sequences.
A be B:It was then read a third thne.—Adjourned.
