PORTSMOUTH, AFRIL 23.—Yesterday, returned to Spit-
head, his Majesty's yacht Herald, Captain Henry J. Leeke,
from the West Indies, whether she conveyed the Lords Bishops
of Barbadoes and Jamaica, to their respective Sees, and their
clerical establishments. The herald sailed- from Falmouth on
the 16th of December, arrived at Barbadoes on the 28th of Jan-
uary ; found there the Eden and Ringdove; the Scoutt and
BAlette being hourly expected from La Guayta and St.
"Thomas's; the Ringdove was to sail for St. Vincent's and An-
tigua. The Herald left Barbadoes on the 3d of February,
looked into Port Royal and St. Pierre's (Martinique); saw in
the former port one French line of battle ship, a frigate, a cor-
vette, two brigs, and two schooners ; at the latter, two French
brigs and two schooners of war. On the 11th ofJan. she arriv-
ed at Jamaica. The squadron there had been very unhealthy;
Mr. M`Millan, Assist.-surgeon of the Naval Hospital at Port
Royal, and Mr. Hood, who has subsequently succeeded him,
bOth died of fever. Mr. W. C. Swiffen, late of the Eden, had
been promoted to the Helicon, and Mr. C. Blyth, late f the
Ringdove, to the Btitomart. On the 18th-of February, the
Herald left Port Royal, and arrived at the Havannah on the
27th, having spoke off the Mord, the Isis, Captain Forrest,
from Tanipico and Vera Cruz ; by which ship she was in-
formed that the Castle of St. Juan de trlloa still held out; it
having been just supplied with troops and provisions by a
Spanish squadron of three ships, commanded by Commodore
La Beide. On the 10th of. March,. this squadron arrived
at Havannah, from off Vera Cruz, consisting of a frigate
of 46 guns, a ship of 24 _ guns (late his Majesty's ship
Sapphire), and a corvette of 22 guns ; which ships, with a brig
of 20 guns (32 pounders), two brigs of -16 guns, and two
schooners of. 12 guns, were left, at Havannah. These ships
compose the entire Spanish naval force in that (platter. (The
statement, therefore, copied into our.last Paper, from the Ame.
rican Papers, of seven Spanish frigates having arrived at Ha-
vannah, from Ferroll and Cadiz, proves untrue.) On March
thp 2d, the Dartmouth sailed fritrin flavannah for the protection
of trade, along the South side of Cuba; and on the 20th she
had sent away her boats in SearCh of pirates, which on the pre
ceiling day, had.bearded a-Colombian vessel, and after plunder.
ing her, cut the- throats of two of her ere*. On the 9th. of
March, -7 the Husaar,,Captain -.George ,Harris, arrived at Hat
. vannah, with treasure from Tampico and Vera Cruz : andon
the 20th that, ship. sailed fur.-Jamaica., The Grecian Cut-
ter, sailed thence for England,ron the 4th of March ; the Py-
_,
minus was expected to arrive at liavannali, on theist of April;
from Tainpico, bound to England. On the 20th of March the
Herald left the Havarinah•foe- England, having, onboard tip.
-wards of a million of dollars, and 45. serons of cochineal: and.
with'which she arrived in safety, after a pleasinfpassage:
of 33. days. The general expectation at :the Havannah was,.
that Bolivar, having completed the conquest of Peru, 'multi
now tarn his-attention to the .invasion of, Cuba ; and from the
enfeebled and distracted state of the 'Spanish Government there,
no doubt was entertainedof its becoming an easy_conqueat.—'
The Herald passed in lat. 48.36. N. long . 13. 63. a Portuguese
frigate '(no doubt the Princess-Royal, with Count Palmella„ the
Portuguese AmbassadOr, on board), apparently bound to Eng-.
land; and the homeward-bound East India ship Proiidentia.
On Thursday the .Euryalus frigate; '(captain Augustus.-W.
J. Clifford, CM. arrived frOm the illediterranean station. She.

hawk ; and the Hind and Medina taking in provisions for the
relief of Santa Maura. The Naiad and Weazle were at the

were in the Archipelago ; the Sybille di} the coast of
The Turki intended to renew their efforts in the spring, which
the Greeks were organizing means to 'tipPose; -and'they- fully
expected, with the same success as tliey ,-didlast summer.—
' The American squadron, consisting of the South Carolina,
74, ConstitutiOn, 60, and Erie sloop, were lying at Malta.—
The French were repairing the fortifications. at .Cadiz, in the •
most efficient manner. The Gannet arrived at Gibraltar oxidic
