NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 5.--By the Hermes steamer, arrived
at Falmouth, we have accounts from Malta to the 10th ult.,
Gibraltar 21st, and Cadiz 22d. The following is a letter from
our correspondent :

Ma, Feby 1, .
" We have been very flat of latelta here, the fleeot i 51836 doing
nothing, but expects to put to sea for a summer's cruise early
in May ; it consists now of the Caledonia, 120 ; Canopus,
84 ; Thunderer, 84 ; Revenge, 78 ; Edinburgh, 74; Bar-
ham, 52 ; Vernon, 50; Beacon,_ surveying vessel; Confiance,
Hermes, and African, steamers, and the Morea, transport,
which vessel has just brought-up four companies of the 92d
Regiment, and one company of the 60th Rifles. The Port-
land, 50, and Medea steam-frigate, are attending on tido
King of Bavaria and Greece ; the Volage, 28, is at Constan-
tinople ; the Rodney, 92 ; Orestes and Childel's on the coast
of Spain ; Tribune, 24, at Zante 1 the Columbine, 18, Com-
mander Henderson, left for a cruise on the 22d of January,
and on the following day the Sovereign transport sailed for
Spithead, with part of the 7th Fusileers on board, and in-
valids
from the fibrent corps. The schooner yacht Lady of
St. Kilda arrived here on the 27th ult. from Civita Vecchia
iknd Naples."
By the Serpent, 16, Commander Nepean, (which arrived
on Saturday evening last), we learn that when she left Ber-
muda, on the 4'll ult., Sir G. Cockburn had not sailed (as re-
ported In Lloyd's List), to run down the West India Islands ;
but had waitted the return at Bermuda of his Majesty's ship
Racehorse, 18, Commander Sir E. Home, from Para, whither
he had dispatched her to endeavour to quell the insurrec-
tionary movements of the natives in that quarter. The Race-
horse not being of sufficient force alone to induce the natives
to vacate the town, though she fired upon it several days, the
Commander-in-Chief had sent thither the Rainbow, 25, Capt.
Bennett, and Snake, 16, Commander Warren, to be joined by
two other ships from Port Royal for that purpose, and for the
protection of English merchants' property there, some of
which had been seized by the aggressive force, and other
parts of it destroyed. This increased force, it was believed,
had orders to resort to the utmost extremities to restore the
Government authority. Lieutenant Douse and Mr. Laidlow,
Purser, both late of the Snake, and Lieut. Coode, late of the
Nimrod, invalided, came home passengers in the Serpent. The
Serpent was relieved by his Majesty's brig Snake. She sailed
on Monday for Chatham, to be paid off.
The Comus, Commander Hamilton, left Jamaica for Car-
thagena on the 22d of January ; the Champion, Commander
Fair, arrived at Jamaica from the Havannah on .the 18th of
January ; the Flamer, steamer, Lieut. Capinger, left Jamaica
for St. Thomas's on the 17th of January ; the Scylla, Com-
mander Carpenter, left Jamaica for Chagres on the 14th of
January ; the Meteor, steamer, left Jamaica for St. Thomas's
on the second of January.
The Belvidcra, 42, was at Barbadoes on the 21st of January,
and was about to proceed to Washington in the United States,
with Henry S. Fox, Esq., our Ambassador to that country,
who had arrived there in the Wanderer sloop of war, from the
Brazils.

The Romney troop-ship was paid off on Tuesday. The
Hermes steamer lay-to at Spithead on Wednesday, on her
way to Woolwich, and landed invalids from the Mediterranean
squadron at Haslar Hospital. The Speedy cutter, Lieut.
Douglas, sailed on Thursday to protect the Sussex fishermen.
The Liverpool, of 74 guns, came into harbour this after-
noon. The Melville, 74, could not get out of harbour this
morning, the wind being short ; she will go out to-morrow or
Monday.
The Duke of York, Captain Morgan, from the new settle-
ment of South Australia, and the Westminster, New York

morrow.
