PORTSMOCIII, AuGusr 12.

-
Yesterday arrived Ms Majesty's brig of war, the Ringdove,Capt.
Edwin L. Rich, from the Leeward Islands, Jamaica, and New
York ; she sailed from Port Royal on the I Ith of June, with Alex
Cockburn, Esq. his Majesty's Minister to the Republic of Colom-
bia, who landed at New Vork on the 2d July, for the benefit f
his healtli.—The Minister was only ten days in that country, when
he left Carthagena for Port Royal ; the disorganised state of affairs
in that Government rendering lilt residence there for the present
unnecessary. There had been no accounts received front Bolivar
for four months ; it was rather expected that he would not be pre-
vailed on to return from tipper Peru to Colombia. The two large
frigates, built in the United States for the Colombian Government,
had arrived safe at carthagena ; they had only 250 men each. The
Spanish Commodore Laborde, in the Gloriosa, 74, with tour large
frigates, having 2(100 troops on hoard, was off Ilavannah. His
officer' end crew are regularly paid by the Government of Cuba.
Ile had hitherto confined hie attention to the defence of that island.
The ships on the West India station were generally healthy. The
Druid, Captain Chambers, left Port Royal on the Lth June, to
relieve the Hussar, at Barbadnes, which Map, after her return to
Port Royal, would -sail for England.—The 'Valorous, Lord Hun-
' Magian, had sailed with General Sir John Kane, for New Novi-
dowse and Halifax ; and the Tweed, Capt. Nunn, was spoke off
Havannah on 20th June, bound to Vera Cruz with a enail.—The
Sallie, Capt. Hobson. and Bustard, Captain Sandom, were cruising
off Cuba; the Isla and Harlequin were lyingjtt Pon Royal.—The
Ringdove fell in with an immense iceberg, off the banks of New-
foundland, drifting to the Smithward, the magnitude and sudden
appearance of which astonished every person on board. The
Ringdove spoke the ship Purview, six manths from Madras, and
saw in the Channel about sixty sail of homeward-bound merchant-
men, struggling with Easterly wind.' and calms, all which must
have had long passages. Colonel Lee, private Secretary to the
Ambassador, came home in the Ringdove.
The Intendant of Venezuela, Senor Cristobal Mendoza, had
transmitted to Sir Robert Kerr Porter, the British Consul at La-
guayra (who had transmitted ampy to his Excellency Alex. Cock.
burn), a letter dated Caracas, May 7, slating that nothing further
bad happened which can disturb the order and tranquillity of that
territory, or the personal security and property of the inhabitalts.
The disturbances which happened on the 30th of April have for
their object the continuation of General Paez in the commar d of
that department, until the arrivul of the Liberator President (Bo-
livar) whose mediation and advice ere earnestly desired to adjust
these domestic differences, and to promote such reform as may be
useful in the internal administration, without affecting in any wan-
ner the external relation, or altering the national integrity or the
Republic.
1 esterday his Majesty's sloop of War Dispatch, Capt. R. W.
Parsons, returned to Spittead, after an absence of nine months,
during which period she has been employed in conveying Captains
Victor and Border, of the Royal Engineers, to all the settlements
on the Coast of Africa, for the purpose of seeing in what state of
defence the forts and batteries are, and to judge of the eligibility
of their several situations. During a porthin of the progress, a
Board of Commissioner% was on board, whose object was, to inves•
tigate into the civil, judicial, and general affairs of each settlement,
and to judge of the localities, as regards the healthiness of their
series. Having performed these services, the Dispatch left Accra
for England. and, retarded by extraordinary contrary winds, she
has been 11l dais making the paseage, having only touched at
Ascension-42 days froth off Corvo, one of the Western Islands.
She could obtain no supplies at Ascension. It was also a minor
objet of the Dispatch (the Ilium being specially appointed to
this service) to make inquiries relative to the expeditions which are
in progress, to age:nein if the course of the Niger be across the
Continent of Africa. Major Laing, it will be remembered, sooje
time since set out upon this object, front the Mediterranean shares,
and Captain Clapper:on and Dr. Dickson from the Atlantic slimg
(the Bight of Bente), to proceed in a N.E. direction to Tripoli. Xi
'
recent tidings, however, were obtained of these adventurous tea•
yellers, but it was ascertained that, famo some imams' wars
which were gotag on among the nations in the interior, it
was likely their progress would be for a time delayed, as it
would not be safe, during these conflicts, to quit one terri-
tory for Another. The last information received from Captain
Clapperton was dated the 7"h of March. Ile was then in good
health, and about to set off from Katunga for Kiama, thence to
Warwa, four days' distance from Youri. Katunga is distant liom
the Niger 30 miles E. Commodore Bullen, in the 31aidatone
frigate, with the Redwing sloop of war, Captain Clavering, were at
Sierra Leone; the Esk and Brazen were cruising in the Bight of
Benin, but the latter, It is now prevailed, is on her passage home-
