but nothing certain is known of ►is late Movethents. It is
scarcely probable that, with the immense army WC have is the
field, Molitor will offer any opposition to Lord Moira's plans,
which, as far as we knave aught of than, seem to be exactly
those which Lord Wellesley would have accomplished, had he
remained in India. The Pindaree system must have a termina-
tion. Indeed it is next to impossible those freebooters could
have committed the depredations they ►ave done, had they not
been protected by those who will now see the necessity of with-
holdiisg their countenance in any way whatever."
FROM CALCUTTA PAPERS.

CALCUTTA, NOV. s.—Letters from the head-quar-
ters of his Excellency the Most Noble the Governor-
General, at Secundra, have reached us to the date of '
the 24th October. They speak with confidence of
.the speedy pacific termination of his Lordship's mea-
sures in regard to the Native Powers of Upper India.
They say it is impossible to do justice to the wisdom
and vigour which have hitherto guided his Excellen •
cy's policy, in accomplishing measures the most im-
portant to the peace and prosperity of British India,
of any that have been adopted since the Treaty of
Bessein. A termination the most honourable to the
British character, and tending to consolidate our in-
terests on the most safe and permanent foundation,
will soon, it is expected, reward the Noble Marquis's
exertions, and enable his Lordship to return to the
seat of Government, and the gallant and highly
equipped divisions of the army now in the field to
their respective cantonments.
Uximans.—lt is stated in an Ukhbar from Hof.-
eAR's camp, that Mi. ELPHINSTONE, the Resident at
Poonah, had informed the PaisliwA that the British
Government intended to restore the provinces which
had been lately ceded by him. It is also stated that
KUREEM KAwN, a celebi:ated Pindaree Chief, had
been set at liberty, and had commenced his wonted
devastations. The British Government had, conse-
qtiently, expressed its displeasure at this act on the
part of HOLKAR ; but the Vakeel attempted to excul-
pate his master, by alleging that GISAFFOOR KHAWN,
a rebellious Commander, had liberated the robber.
The Japoor Rajah had demanded the Rajah of Kal-
see to deliver up that fortress, which was refused.
The parties were, therefore, expected to come to a
battle. AMBER KEAN is still before Madharaj Poorah.
NOVEMBER 19.—The head-quarters of the Gover-
nor-General and Commander-in-Chief were at Go-
dowsa on the 6th instant.
TREATY WITH SCINDIAIL—A report has reached
us, and we have every reason to believe it a well-
founded report, that SCINDIAII has acceded to all the
terms proposed to him by the Most Noble the Mar-
quis of HASTINGS. We are not, of course, as yet ac-
quainted with the terms; but it is said, among others,
that SCINDIAII has agreed to fix his future resiclence
at Owalior, from which he is not to depart without
permission of the British Government; that he is to
aid and assist this Government against their Pindaree
enemies ; and, as a guarantee of his abiding by the
terms of the Treaty, is to deliver over to the-Honour-
able Company five of his principal fortresses, among
which Nurwar and Asseer Ghur are named.
Letters from Hussingabad state that Sir Joss
MALCOLM had concluded treaties of amity and friend-
ship with several chiefs of the Nerbudda.

Wednesday the SALISBURY, 54. Rear-Admiral J.
E. DOUGLAS, Captain HOUSTON STEWART, arrived
at Portsmouth from Jamaica ; the Rear-Admiral
having meritoriously served his period of three Tears,
has been succeeded in his command by Rear-Admiral
Sir H. POPHAM, K. C. B. The SALISBURY left Port
Royal on the 10th of February, when the following
ships (composing the squadron) were all well and
healthy:—SYßlLLE, PIQUE, LARNE, ESK, PRIMROSE,
RIFLEMAN, SIIEARWATER, PELICAN, and BEAVIUIL
The SYBILLE was lying at Port Royal, preparing to
sail for New York, with a remittance of silver from
British Merchants for the American Government. It
was the completion of their engagements (to supply
silver at a certain rate) with that Government. The
PIQUE was gone to Vera Cruz and Campeachy : the
LARNE, RIFLEMAN, and ESK, were either ci uizing
or employed in giving convoy to vessels bound to the
Spanish South American Colonies. The TYRIAN was
met by the SALISBURY, on the 12th of February, re-
turning from the Bay of Honduras. The SALISBURY
left the Havannah on the 24th of February. She has
brought 800,000 dollars, and 130 cases of cochineal,
for British Merchants. Admiral DOUGLAS struck his
flag on Friday night ; and the SALISBURY will go
into harbour to be paid off.
Admiral DOUGLAS, previous to his departure from
Jamaica (which Island was very healthy), received
a visit from a native man, who is regarded as the
Paeriarch of the Island : he is 143 years of age, and
in so good health, that on that day he walked from
his house (which is or. the Hope Estate) to the Penn
(the Admiral's residence) and back again—about 14
miles. He was never off the Island : the great earth-
quake there, in 1687, is yet impressively remembered
by bim ; he was then a stout lad.
It is a remarkable coincidence that the Marquis
Wellington, which was lately lost on the Mouse
Sand, was the property of DAVID ISBISTER, Esq.
Ivaho has for a length of time been very active in en-
deavouring to form some artificial place of shelter
for the shipping coming up Channel. Ile proposes
to erect a Break-water on the Brake, running
.it be.
tween the present buoys in a westerly direction to
meet the little Downs, sheltering Ramsgate, and af-
fording a safe anchorage in any weather; with the
advantage of a good outlet and inlet, and the '
cer-
tainty of deepening the water in the vicinity of these
dangerous sands. The ground has been sounded, and
tried in every point, and has been found well calen-1
laced to support such a structure. Ships of every
burthen might ride under its lee in the severest storm,
waiting a fair wind to enable them to run for the
Thames, thus having the option of choosing the time
of their departure, so that they might with certainty
escape every danger. The late lamentable gales bear
the best testimony to the necessity of this national
undertaking, and it is with 'pleasure that we learn
that Lord MEtvuzz has appointed the 15th instant
to meet Mr. INSISTER, and to take the subj...!:.:. uito
