when a few of her men were invalided, , and the rest of
her officers and ship's company were sent ashore to
barracks, whilst the vessel was undergoing a thorou h

THE MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON.
We have letters from the Mediterranean fleet, under
the commlnd-in-chief of Rear-Admiral Deans Dund:r
s,
C. 8., dated Minorca. May 21st. The gallant chief had
with him his flag-ship Britannia, 120, Captain Gold-
smith; Trafalgar, 120, -Captain Greville; Albion, 90,
Captain Hope Johnstone; Bellerophon, 78, captain
Lord G. Paula; and Phaeton, 50, Captain G. Elliot,
with a couple of steamers, one of which proceeded to
Malta; and the other, the Antelope, Lieut. Commander
West, proceeded to Gibraltar.
The Admiral was very well. A correspondent says,
—" There is an off-handed, good-natured manner about
Admiral Dundas, which will, I have no doubt, make
him very popular in the squadron. He seems determined
to get up as much in the fleet as be can, while at the,
same time he is very strict on all matters of duty. We
shall soon begin to exhibit a specimen of what genuine
discipline can do. We got a London daily paper of the
19th of May at this place on the 19th. It was sent to
the Consul at Marseilles, and forwarded by the Fury
steana-aloop."
The Trafalgar and Albion had received a good "hog-
ging." Both ships sail very badly, especially the latter.
In Not the Albion cannot mil at 511 With the requisite
