BOMBAY AND MAURITIUS MAILS,

SOUTHAMPTON, May 12.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Delta, Captain Weeks, with the heavy por•
tion of the above mails, has arrived. She brings
133 passengers. Amongst whom are, from Gib-
raltar, Viscount Lumley, Ensign the Hon. I. C.
Amherst, Captain Sawyer, and Lieuts. Ward and
Whalley.

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 northwesterly
winds and heavy. head sea from Alexandria to
Malta; thence to Gibraltar, westerly gales and
high sea ; across the thy of Biscay,
and easterly
winds and thick weather; and up the Channel
south-easterly winds and rain. Oa the 6th inst.,
the Delta exchanged signals with the steamer
Ripon steering E. On the Bth spoke the steamer
Lars, belonging to the PAcha of Egypt, steering
S.E., and the St. Syria steering southward on the
9th, spoke the steamer Caroline bound from Cadiz
to London, and the steamer Frankfort steering S.E.
and the 11th passed the British ship Sovereign, the
British ship Lansdowne,
beating up the Channel,
and an Austrian gunboat steering to the eastward.
Her Majesty's ships Proccis and Fox were at
Gibraltar ; and at Malta, the Psyche, Defence,
Resistance, and Marlborough.
Her Majesty's screw corvette Racoon, Captain
Count Gleichen, left Gibraltar on the 3d for Mare
seilles to receive on board his Royal Highness Prince
Alfred, who continues his naval service as a
lieutenant on board the Racoon.

Gib Thera rhael t aPortuguese
forolop of war Minden() left
in order to afford protection to Portuguese during
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 the Orontes
ezerieuced 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 29th March, and was to leave
for Trinidad the following day. At St. Vin-
cent the drought- continued, and the islands
were suffering intensely from the famine; vegeta-
tion have entirely disappeared owing to the absence
of rain for the last 20 months. The people were
dying of starvation. The above news reached Gib-
raltar by the Portuguese sloop of war Min len°.
Cadiz papers of the 3d says—" The Havannah
mail brings news from St. Domingo to April 9.
Brigadier Palanca sustained in Puerto Plata, on
March 27, a glorious action against 3,300 rebels,
with four pieces of artillery. Our troops amounted
to 400 men, and. had 3 killed, 25 wounded, and 45
bruised (contused). The enemy had 200 killed. Gen.
Gandara had entered upon the command of the

island. Generals Vargas and Sibila had arrived at
Santiago de Cuba, where troops and vessels were
assembling for St. Domingo. Brigadier Villate
commands the expedition. But few of the sick were
dying. At the hospitals of Cuba there were 2,000
convalescents; 600 were ready to return to the
ranks."
