PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 16.—We have received letters
and papers from Malta, to the 4th inst., on which day
the Minos steam-packet arrived there with the in-
telligence of the departure of the British from Be-
shika Bay on the 23d ult., and its arrival on the
following day at Vourla, where it was still lying
on the 29th. The French fleet was to have left for
Smyrna on the 3d inst., but was not expected in that
harbour before the 10th. The Benbow left Malta for
Vourla on the 30th ult., and the Belleisle had followed

Valparaiso the Chilian corvette Monteagudo, 24,
ran ashore in that part of the bay called Cape
Horn, in a violent " norther," usual at that pe-
riod of the year, and went entirely to pieces in a
few hours, so much so that the greater part of her
and her contents were carried away on people's
shoulders. Only four lives were lost. The Imogene
left :.he Gulf of California May IS, and San Bias on the
21st, where the Sulphur surveying ship was expected.

diate ports of Callao ; the Electra was in the Gulf of Pa-
nama ; the Sparrowhawk at the South Sea Islands ; the

Orestes (under orders for the Pacific), Clio, and Spider
packet, both recently from England. The Actmon and
Calliope were both in the Rio Plate ; the Grecian and
Sparrow at the Falkland Islands. There were also at
Rio Janeiro the American razce frigate Independence,
large Sardinian frigate, the Regina, and the French
brig Luline. The Imogene left Plymouth on the 15th
August, 1836, since which she has traversed eighty
thousand miles ; and is ordered to Plymouth to be
paid- off. She will sail on Monday. She brought
