Seymour, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief, was towed cat
of Bermuda harbour on the 27th of November by the
Devastation steam-sloop, 6, Commander C. Y. Camp-
bell, who parted company on the following day, the
Cumberland proceeding to Barbadoes, and the Devasta-
tion to St. Thomai's, for the Admiral's dispatches from
England, which did not arrive until the Bth of Decem-
ber, when she took on the Barbadoes mails, and rejoined
the flag-ship at Trinidad.
The Dauntless, 28', screw-frigate, Captain Halsted, by
these accounts, had lost 16 officers and 60 of her crew
by yellow fever. The ship's company had encamped on
shore at Barbadoes, and the decease was abating, the
cases being daily fewer and less violent.
On the 13th of December the Cumberland, 70 (flag).;
the' Calypso, 20, Captain Forbes; the Highflyer, 21
(screw), Captain Matson ; and the Devastation, were at
Trinidad. All well except the Highflyer, which had
about 14 cases of fever on board, and had lost three
men. Captain Matson had been ill, but was better
when the packet sailed. On the 13th the Calypso sailed
for La Guayra and the Devastation for Antigua, the lat-
ter soon to rejoin the Admiral.
The Daring, 12, Commander Napier, had been with
the Admiral also, but sailed on the 12th for Grenada--
all well.

of the squadron in consequence of the death vacancies :
