The Brazilian frigate Isabel, 42, Captain Norton, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Cotrnt Manuel Anto• nio Parina, and Imperatrix, 6.1•, Captain Pritz, ar rived here on Wednesday, from Plymouth, to await further orders. It is understood they are to escort, to Rio de Janeiro, the Princess Leuchtenbugh, be trothed to the Emperor of Brazils. On their arrival, the fiigates hoisted the British ensign, and fired a royal salute of 21 guns, which was returned by the garrison. They afterwards saluted the flag of the Commander-in-Chief, with 17 guns, a compliment which was returned from his Majesty's ship Victory. The Pickle schooner, of 3 guns, and 36 men, com manded by Lieut. J. B. B. Mg-lardy, captured on the 3d of June, off St. Domingo Keys, after an ob stinate fight of an hour and a half, the Spanish slave schooner Boladora, mounting four long guns, with a crew of 62 men and 335 slaves. ,The Pickle had 2 men killed and 13 wounded.

The Dryad, Swinburn, belonging to this port, arrived this evening from Quebec. - NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, AuG. I.—The following is an ex tract, which will be read with interest, of a letter received from his Majesty's ship Blonde, which con veyed our Ambassador to Constantinople, dated from that capital, June 21 : " The Blonde is now moored-in the port of Con , stantinople, right before the Seraglio, or the Palace of the Grand Seigneur, from which we are distant about three hundred yards in a northerly direction. The preparations we were making for the reception of the British Ambassador being completed, his Excellency the Right lion. Robert Gordon and suite (twenty-two in number), in which are com prehended the Earl of Yarmouth, Viscount Dunlo, and the Hon. Mr. Grosvenor, came on board the Blonde at Tenedos, on the forenoon of Tuesday last, when we weighed and made all sail for the Hellespont, or western entrance of the Dardanelles, having the Rifleman sloop of war and Hind in com pany. The French frigate Armide, with the Am bassador of that nation, Count Guilleminot, on board, made sail at the same time. On passing the first castle, or strong battery, which stands on the European side of the Straits, a few heavy guns were fired at us, or rather a little a-head of the ship. We were rather close to the battery, indeed so much so, as to distinctly perceive, by our glasses, that the tremendously heavy guns in the ground tier were loaded with ponderous balls of marble, some of which appeared to be equal, in circumference, to the drum head of our capstan. On seeing a boat shove off from the battery with a Turkish officer on board, we shortened sail, and received a message from the Governor of the castle to the effect that he could not allow us to pass without an order from his superior, the Pacha of the Dardanelles; for that were he to do so, he would lose his head. To this our Noble Ambassador replied by stating, that the Embassy should proceed forthwith v.and that if the Governor tired another shot at the Blonde he would most assuredly lose his head. The Turkish boat then pulled off for the shore with that bold reply; so we made sail and passed the battery without further molestation. About nine, p.m. the wind becoming too light to enable us to stem the current, which runs here at the rate of about four miles an hour, we were obliged to come to an anchor. At midnight a deputation of Turks came on board, with an apology from the Pacha of the Dardanelles, for the uncourtly and unjustifiable act of firing at a British ship of war, with the British Ambassador on board; and stated that the Pacha had directed the Governor to be thrown into prison, and that he should be subjected to the immediate punishment of banishment. This apology was, I understand, considered satisfactory, and fully pro portioned to the hasty act of which the Governor had been guilty. Next day the wind freshening, about nine, p. m., we weighed and made sail, and soon passed the remarkably strong castles which are built near the ruins of Abydos, on the Asiatic side, and Sestos, on the European. Immediately after pasting those castles, the Turkish Govern merit steam-boat came alongside, having on board Captain Hanclietts. This gentleman stated that the Pacha of the Dardanelles had sent his son on board the steamer, for the purpose of paying his (the Pacha's) respects to the long-expected British Ambas sador. As the wind was fair, and as we were desirous of making the most of it, so as to get over the narrows before night, the formality of the young Pacha's visit on board the Blonde was dispensed with, and a mere interchange of compliments substituted in its stead. After this the castle near Abydos fired a salute in honour of the British Ambassador, and on the Armide's passing, it paid a similar compliment to the Ambassador from the Court of France. Mr. Gordon, immediately after interceded for the de posed Governor (who had fired at the Blonde), and through his influence he was released from prison, and restored to the full plenitude of power. As the Turks had been some days anxiously looking out for the British Ambassador, they sent a steam boat to our assistance, which towed us to our pre sent moorings. The Turks have received us with every demonstration of friendship and respect. Se veral Officers of the Sultan's body guard have been on board, some of whom have dined with us and have drank wine with as much taste as if they had been commanded to do so by the Prophet. The Turkish squadron in the Black Sea consists of four line of battle ships, five frigates, and a few sloops war. A few days since, on the clearing up of a fog, a Russian frigate found herself surrounded by the above squadron, and, to the everlasting infamy and disgrace of her commander, surrendered without ever firing a gun, or making any resistance what ever. The crew of that frigate are ;now prisoners of war at Constantinople, where they are treated with great lenity, the officers being allowed the be nefit of a parole. The captured frigate. is now manned with Mussulmen, and added to the num ber of the Turkish squadron. Since the period of the disgraceful event, a Russian brig of war found herself under similar circumstances, t hat is, situated as the frigate was on the clearing up of the fog; but to the immortal renown and credit of her commander, he opened a well-directed broadside on the nearest of the Turkish line of battle ships, shot away her main topmast, and thus succeeded in effecting his escape. Report says that the Captain of the frigate will be hanged in the event of his ever returning to Russia. The Turks have a three-decker of 140 guns, and a frigate of 64 guns, ready for launching at this port. It is expected that the launch will take place in the course of a few days, at which the Sultan and his principal officers are expected to be present. This Monarch is the most indefatigable in the world; he is on horseback every morning at the break of day, and at their stated periods in each NEW LIFE BOATS. Some experiments were made on Wednesday in the river, off Somerset-house, under the super intendance of the Royal Society, for the preser vation of lives from shipwreck, of several life. boats constructed under the direction of Mr. Palmer, a gentleman who we understand has de voted a very large portion of his time and atten tion to the improvement of those most valuable little vessels. That the boats made by Mr. Palmer's direction are not capable of farther im provement, is what that gentleman himself does not assert. On the contrary, the public exhibi tion and trial of them yesterday, had for one of its chief objects the submitting them to the in spection of scientific men, with a view to receiv ing such suggestions as may render them more perfect, and of course more calculated to obtain the humane end of their invention,—the salva tion of human life in cases of shipwreck. One great step towards this benevolent object has been obtained, as far as we could judge from what we saw on Wednesday—namely, the almost impossibility of sinking the boat under any cir cumstances. The first experiment was on a boat capable of carrying, without much inconvenience, twenty persons ; but, as was said by one of the crew, " in a case of life and death," she could carry 30 without being pressed so much below the surface of the water as to be unmanageable. Plugs were taken out of her bottom fore and aft, and she soon filled up to the gunwale. Six men then pulled her out, and in this state rowed her through Waterloo-bridge and back ; and it was quite evident that she might have gone any distance in the same state without any risk of sinking. The next experiment was on a smaller boat, and was made to show the difficulty of upsetting one constructed according to Mr. Palmer's plan. Plugs were taken out as in former cases, and she was filled, four or five of the crew aiding the operation by standing on her gunwale, so as to put one side of her quite under water. She had no sails set, as there was little or no wind, but in order to show what would be the probable effect of a heavy gale which would bring her masts down to the water's edge, several men in a boat near her bawled away upon a rope made fast to her mast-head, so as to bring it as low as it could well have been brought in the heaviest gale or squall of wind, or in case of being struck by a sea. In this state the men seated in the boat had the water up to their waists, but the utmost pulling at the mast-head could not sink or up set her. She was so much on one side, that it was only by holding on fast to what would be the weather side in a sea that could place her in that position, that the men could keep their seats ; but, notwithstanding this pressure, which would have swamped or upset any boat of ordi nary construction, the very instant the men who pulled at the mast head let go she righted ; and though still filled with water, it was clear that Iwith five times the number of her crew she could have lived in any sea. The general principle on which these boats are constructed,—that of in-. creasing their buoyancy by means of cases filled with air, and rendered water and air tight, is, it is well known, not new ; but the application of it in this instance is very ingenious, and not wholly without novelty. Its great advantage consists in the security of the air cases, which are so placed at each side, and fore and aft, as not to be liable to damage, except by such a shock as would destroy the boat itself. The cases are made of strong pine _frames, over which canvas is stretched, and covered so well with a . tarry composition as to be perfectly air and water tight. But we think that the subjoined description, by the ingenious inventor hnnself, will do it more justice than any thing we could add birdie subject " The boat is built as a whale-boat, sharp at both ends, fuller at the bow than at the stern, but flatter in the floor, and with more beam, in proportion to her length, to adrr,it of sufficient space for the crew between the air-cases in the wings, with which she is fitted fore and aft. These cases, three on each side, occupy a space of 40 cubic feet, and have a consequent buoyancy of water of 22 cwt. equally divided on each side, thereby preventing the boat from upsetting). She . is likewise fitted with two other air -cases, ode at each extremity, together con taining 16 cubic feet, and constituting a buoyancy of 9 cwt. These cases, from the spring of the boat being situated so high, not only prevent her being depressed, in case of a sea rolling over her, but tend materially to right her again, in the event of her being thrown upon her side by a sudden press of canvas, or the stroke of a sea. The total buoy ancy of the eight cases being equal to 31 cwt. is sufficient to bear up 22 persons, sitting entirely above the water; or, if sitting in the boat, as usual, when a considerable part of their bodies would be immersed in the water, any number whatever, which can be placed in, or around her sides: it being well known that a buoyancy of 101 b. is sufficient to keep any person, head and shoulders, out of the water; and the buoyancy being divided between eight separate cases, any two or three of them get ting damaged would be of no importance to the safety of those in the boat. " The wing air-cases are secured to the sides by means of a strong fore and aft batten on each side of the keelson, fastened to the timbers, having four plates screwed on to each, with eyes in them, into which hooks, affixed to boards, sufficiently long to reach the length of the main cases, enter; and on which those boards turn up under the thwarts. These are secured in their vertical position, by being attached to flaps between each thwart, hanging upon hooks, screwed into the rising of the boat, and which flaps form one continued platform on each side, level with the thwarts, and protect the cases from being injured; forming, at the same time, two complete side-lockers, into which small casks, or indeed any thing which is specifically lighter than water, may be placed, instead of air-cases, so as to render the boat equally safe from sinking, to the extent of the excess of the buoyancy of the article made use of beyond that of its weight. Dry fir alone would render the boat a good catamaran,* and capable of conveying a considerable number of people in safety to the shore. " She is fitted with two scuppers, one on each side, just above the air -cases, to let off -any water which she might ship from a sea breaking over her. " Her length is 26 feet 6 inches, and width 5 feet 10 inches. - She pulls six oars; has two lug-sails; steers either with a scull or a rudder, as occasion May require; has two timber heads, one on each side the bow, to make fast a warp to; and has high loose wash-hoards, for the sake of preventing the sea from breaking into her when launching from the ground. " The total weight of the boat, when out of the builder's hands, exclusive of all her loose fittings, masts, oars, &c., is only 7 cwt. 3 qrs. ; so that her own crew will find no difficulty in conveying her along the shore to any point most convenient for launching, according to the object in view. The weight of all her loose fittings, masts, sails, &c., is 5 cwt. 2 qrs. ; but the buoyancy of these articles being greater than their weight, if lashed down to the thwarts they will add considerably to the buoy ancy of the whole body."_ In the little pamphlet from which we have extracted the above description, it is added, and the observation deserves to be publicly known,— " The same principle, here recommended for life and ships' boats, is equally applicable to every de scription of boat, from the smallest wherry to the largest pleasure-boat; and when it is recollected how many lives are lost every year upon our rivers by the upsetting of boats, it is impossible that any per son should be insensible to the value of a plan by which almost perfect security may be given to any boat against so alarming a misfortune." We have no doubt that when Mr. Palmer's plan, which we think is one of the best that has yet been brought before the public, becomes more generally known, it will receive such im provements from the suggestions of scientific men as will secure the only other advantage which now seems wanting—the impossibility of upsetting the boat ; but though there is no cer tain guarantee against such an event in Mr. Palmer's plan, it goes so near that desideratum as to make it well wurthy the patronage of the shipping and commercial interests, and (we should hope) of that much larger class of the community who are interested in diminishing the terrible effects of shipwreck. Several naval• and other scientific men, among whom were Sir Henry Hotham, and several Commissioners of the Navy, were present at the experitnems of Wednesday, and expressed them selves perfectly satisfied that the plan, if brought into general use, would be of the utmost import ance to the country and to the cause of humanity. * Logs of light wood, on which the natives of the Co romandel coast come off to a ship in almost any weather. THE ARM Y. (From the Limerick Chronicle, July 29.) Yesterday, four companies and the band of the 62d Regiment, commanded by Lieut. Col. Reed, arrived at the barracks here from Templemore. The whole of the 62d are to be quartered in this garrison. Yesterday Major-Gen. Sir E. Blakeney and staff left for Ennis, 'during the election. Yesterday a squadron of the Ist Royal Dragoons arrived in Ennis from Galway. Captain Rumley, Ensign Johnston, three Sojeants, and 36 rank and file, of the 66th Regiment, left Boyle, on Wednesday, for Manorhamilton, county Leitrim. Monday two pieces of ordnance, and a detachment of the Royal Artillery, arrived at Clare Castle, from this garrison.

" MADRID, JULY 20.—Our Government has just received despatches from the Captain-General of the island of Cuba, as well as from the Intendant of the Havannah. " The Intendant proposes various resources or taxes, in order that there may be no want of funds to meet the extraordinary expences of the intended 'expedition. But those two officers agree in ex pressing their feats. of the bad success of the expedi tion, not only on account of the little experience of the new General to whom the command is intrusted, but also on account of the direction. which the. Ge neral intends to give it. A project of our Govern ment is spoken of to proclaim the Infant Don Francis de Paul, Emperor of Mexico. " Several Spaniards expelled from Mexico, who are at present in Europe, and others who quitted that country voluntarily some years ago, advised here a war of extermination, but others who have more sense are of a totally different opinion. " BELGRADE, JULY 13.—The Paella of Bel grade has received news from Constantinople of the 30th of June. The Sultan has given orders for the corps of reserve encamped near Adrianople to march immediately to Shumla. Preparations are also making, from which it is inferred that the Sultan himself will soon take the 'field. Five thousand Bosniaks are now on their march to the Danube. " CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, JULY 31.

" The Spanish Government, in order to support its sinking credit, has found no better means than to insert in the Madrid Gazette, an article with the fol lowing title :-- 4 Official Article,—A view drawn up according to an order of his Majesty, by the Direc tor of the Royal Caisse d' Antortissement, of the loans contracted and discharged in foreign countries since the restoration of the legitimate Government in 1823.'
