CALCUTTA, AP UL So.

The packets for the homeward-bounds ships, Corn-
wall and Banana, left town on Saturday evening for
Saugor ; but some doubts are entertained whether
they will be able to get out of the river, owing to the
prevalence of strong southerly winds ; and it is pro-
bable that they may be detained till the next springs
MAY 13.—0 n Monday last the ship Colonel Gil.
iespie, Capt. Cheminant, arrived at this port from
Batavia, whence she sailed on the 29th March.
A few days before the departure of this vessel from
Java, an expedition, cons:sting of a detachment of
land forces, under imaild of Colonel Gillespie,
with his Majesty's ships Cornelia, liticephalus, and
Procris; the Hon. Company's cruizers Te;gnmouth
and Mary Anne, and five transports, sailed from Ba-
tavia Roads for Palambang, as the Sultatin of that
place obstinately persevered in his refual to acknow-
ledge the sovereignty of the British Government.
MAY 14.—The homeward-bound ships Cornwall
and Barrosa, availing themselves of the favourable
weather that occurred during the present springs, left
Saugor Roads on Saturday last ; and it. is probable
that both ships have got safely to. sea before this time. '
The passengers who proceeded to the coast with
the Hon. Company's ship Surrey, went on board last!
week in Saugor Roads ; and the last of the passengers
who go to Madras with the Dover Castle, left town
two days ago, to embark at Saugor.

ship, Baring, is postponed t—instead of sailing is
the course of the present month, as originally in.
tended, her departure, we understand, will be dein,

JUNE 3.—On Monday, the 25th ultimo, the Hat
Company's ship Dover Castle, Captain Richerlisoc,
bound to Madras, in attempting to work out frost
Saugor Roads, got a-ground, and lay for some dine
in a very dangerous situation ; but by the exertion,
of the officers and seamen on board, by the assist.
ante promptly supplied from the Baring, and fro%
three pilot-schooners, and also from Saugor lslzyd
the ship was floated off, after throwing over-board
all her guns and a part of ber cargo. We are happy
Ito say that not a life was lost. The ship is %I,
materially hurt, and is now on her return toCakuttl
for the purpose of being repaired. She passed Red.
geree on Mooday, and will probably reach Minx/
harbour to-day.
