VALETTA, June 15.—Her Majesty's ship Orlanda,
46, Capt. G. G. Randolph, arrived on the 13th inst.
from BeyrBut, which port she left on the Bth inst.,
having performed the passage chiefly under steam.
She was relieved by the Pelican, 17, Acting-Com-
mander N. B. Smith. The Chanticleer, 17, Com-
mander J. E. F. Risk, was about to leave the coast
of Syria for Budroum, as previously reported.
Perfect tranquillity prevailed throughout Syria.
Rear-Admiral D'Aboville, bearing his flag on the
French frigate Magicienne, was at Beyrout with a
despatph vessel. Mr. Edward Fowell, engineer of
the Orlando, died at Beyrout, on the 16th of May,
from epilepsy. It is expected this ship will go home
in the course of the summer, having been three years
and a half in commission. The Phoebe, 35, Capt.
W. R. Rolland, was at Zante on the 29th of May,
where she remained during the elections, which
passed off satisfactorily. She was expected to leave
for Corfu on the 30th. The Cossack, 20, Capt. I.
N. T. Saulez, was seen entering the port of Alex-
andria on the Bth inst., on her way to Beyrout.
Our last dates from Athens are to the 9th inst. Her
Majesty's ship Gibraltar, 80, Capt. R. Coote, and
Wanderer, 4, Commander M. C. Seymour, were at
the Piraeus. His Majesty George I. had paid a visit
to the Gibraltar, and expressed himself much pleased
with the ship and all on board, as well as with the
attention he received from the captain and officers.
This vessel was expected to leave for Corfu on the
10th inst. on the occasion of his Majesty's visit.
The Weser, 6, Corn. A. H. J. Johnstone, which has
been looked for from the Danube for some time past,
will probably be here in the course of the present

left for Tunis on the 12th, to relieve the Tyrian,
gunboat, Lieut. P. J. Murray, and send her to
Malta. The Enterprise, 4, ironclad, Commander C.
J. Rowley, went out of port on the evening of the
12th inst. for practice, and was followed the next
morning by the Meanee, 60, Capt. G. Wodehouse,
for the same purpose. Both ships are now in sight off
the harbour. The Resistance, 16, ironclad, is still in
dock, having her bottom cleaned and coated. On
being left dry it is said that no less than 12 inches of
grass were found attached in some parts, although
she had been hogged within a month. The Tunisian
corvette Mansour, 4, Capt. Mohamed Lienghi, ar-
rived on the 11th inst. from Tunis. The following

Hume, Col. Dunnival and family, Mrs. Knox, Miss
Fisher, Capt. D. Jones, the Hon. Mr. E. Scicluna,
Lady Hamilton Chichester, Mrs. Mitford and Miss
Mitford. Col. J. Peel and Capt. F. E. Wilson left
by the Etna for Sicily and Naples. The local Govern-
ment have just imposed a quarantine of seven days
on arrivals from Alexandria, in consequence of the
receipt of two telegrams—one by his Excellency the
Governor and the other by a mercantile firm here—
stating that several cases of cholera having mani-
fested themselves in Alexandria foul bills of health
would be issued to ships leaving that port after the
10th inst.
The left wing of the 74th Highlanders, under the
command of Major Jago, and consisting of 188 rank
