133 passengers. Amongst whom are, from Gib-
raltar, Viscount Lumley, Ensign the Hon. J., C.
Amherst, Captain Sawyer, and Lieuts. 'Ward and

The Delta has on freight four boxes specie, 140
packages elephants' teeth, 170 packages shawls,
151 bales cotton, 39 casks wine, 1 box precious
stones, and 186 packages sundries.
The Delta experienced strong northewesterly
winds and heavy head sea from Alexandria to
Malta; thence to Gibraltar, westerly
high sea ; across the Bay of Biscay, and easterly
winds and thick weather; and up the Channel
south-easterly winds and rain. On the 6113. inst.,

in order to afford protection to Portuguese daring
the disturbances in that Regency.
Her Majesty's ship Orontes, which left Gibraltar
some time since with the 2d Battalion 6th Foot for
the West Indies, was compelled by a succession of
westerly gales to call at St. Vincent's, Cape de
Verd, to coal. After leaving Gibraltar tLe Orontes
exerieuced a three days' gale, which prevented her
reaching Madeira. She then made for Teneriffe to
obtain a supply of coal. After remaining two days
at Teneriffe she left for Trinidad direct ; but, owing
to a continuance of adverse winds, made for the
Cape de Verd Islands, in order to get a further
supply of coal before crossing the Atlantic, which
she reached on the 29;1 March, and was to leave
for Melded the following day. At St. Vin-
cent the drought continued, and the islands
were suffering intensely from the famine ; vegeta-
