PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 3.--By the African steamer, from
the Mediterranean, we have accounts from Malta, to the
Bth ult. The following is from a correspondent
Malta,. Aug. 8, 1836.
"There are no men-of-war in this port, excepting the
Ceylon, with Rear-Admiral Sir T. Brigg'sflag, the Favourite
sloop-of-war, and Spitfire steam-packet, together with the
Neapolitan steamer-of-war, Netuno, and the French steamer
Phocion, An earthquake was recently experienced in Cala-
bria, which laid waste the districts of Rossano and Crosia,
scarcely a single house being left standing ; 192 lives were
known to hive been lost, and 240 other persons were maimed
and bruised, The American squadron, under Commodore
Elliott, left.Toulon some time since, but intends visiting
that part for supplies again in October. The Tartarus
steamer, which brought the July mail from Falmouth, went
on to the Levant on the 24th ult., and on the 26th the Bar-
ham, 52, Captain Corry, sailed for Zante.
" By letters received from Tripoli. it appears that the
Capudan Pacha, having effected a landing on the coast of
Misurata. with much difficulty and considerable loss, has
been unable to make any advance into the country, in conse-
quence of the increasing force of the Arabs ; and that he
has been reduced to the necessity of sending transports by
sea to Tripoli for a reinforcement of all the cavalry and in-
fantry, which was at first ordered to march overland to co-
operate with him on the coast, where his forces are in a
vet 7 critic. 4 -situation.
%-% he French 'Squadron, under Admiral Hugon, is cruisinc,
.-in -the neighbourhood of Tunis, and consists of four sail a
the line, a frigate, a corvette, and a store-ship. Admiral
Sir J. Rowley's squadron was last heard of at Zante, and
was about to go to the Archipelago. The Barham has lately
returned from the Dardanelles, at which place she had some
little difference with the Turkish authorities respecting. the
usual firman to pass the Castles. She had been ordered
to convey Colonel Considine to Constantinople, and arrived
off the Dardanelles on the sth of June, and communicated,
as is usual, with the Consul there, when it was found, that
on account of the late, business of Mr. Churchill, she could
not be allowed to proceed to the usual anchorage,' which is
some leagues above the lower Castles ; but the Pacha of
these forts was fully given to understand that the Barham
would return with interest any insult offered to the flag she
carried. As soon, therefore, as the wind was sufficiently
strong to give her any chance of success in working up
against the strong current which always sets down, she
cleared for action, and weighed, and, with a smart breeze
from the European side, she passed within her own length
of the Castles of Europe. The Turks were surprised, but
fired not a shot, though, to " save their bacon" with the
Sultan, they burnt the priming of a few guns. Reports
are rife here that the French squadron is about to put itself
under the command of Sir J. Rowley, and that the Rodney
is ordered from the coast of Spain to join the united squa-
drons. This intention, it is asserted, is merely to manifest
to the Russians in the Black Sea, that a coalition could be
formed between the French and English ships, should their
presence in the Mediterranean render such an alliance
advisable."

The Prince Regent transport arrived on Sunday morn-
ing from Corfu, with the head-quarters of the 42d Regi-
ment (Royal Highlanders), under the command of Lieut.-
Col. Middleton, and proceeded with them on Thursday to
Leith, where they will be disembarked. The Prince Re-
gent was passed on the 15th ult. in lat. 39 20, long. 20 25,
E. by a French 80-gun ship, standing to the eastward, ap-
parently for the Straits of Gibraltar. The Numa trans-
port, with a party of artillery, sailed from Spithead, from
Woolwich, on Tuesday.
The Beacon, surveying vessel, Lieut. Graves, went out
of harbour on Thursday, and will proceed to the Mediter-
ranean in a day or two.
The Forte, Magnificent, and Dee steamer, were at Ja-
maica on the 18th of July ; the Belvidera, at the same date,
was at Barhadoes, and was to proceed to Antigua, there to
remain during the hurricane months. The Rover was
at Para.

The Pique, 36, Hon. Capt. Rous, will go out of harbOur
on the 24th inst.

The Gossamer, yacht tender, sailed on Monday, and the
Pantaloon, 10 guns, Lieut. Cory, on Tuesday, to join •Sir
Charles Paget's squadron. The African steamer brought
supernnmexaries from Plymouth on Thursday, and pro-
ceeded to Woolwich. The Cracker cutter sailed on Thurs-
day for Jersey, to protect the oyster fishery.
The Fairlie, Ager, with the Governor, Sir John Frank-
lin, and family, and a large number of settlers on board for
Van Diemen's Land, sailed on Monday last ; the President,
New York Packet, Captain Chadwick, and the Mary Ann,
Turbutt, for Madras, sailed on Thursday; .the Wolga,
Good, for New York, and the Tigris, Stevenson, for Ceylon,
are at Spithcad.

to be First Lieutenant of the Fly ; Lieut. C. 0. Hayes,
from the Hastings, and Mr. P. I. Maitland, Mate to the
Inconstant ; Lieut. Cheer, from the Caledonia to the Re-
venge ; Mr. W. M'Lennan, from the Tribune, to be Purser

lin ; Mr. G. Penfold, Clerk's Assistant, to the Victory ;

PLYMOUTH, SEPT. I.—The squadron under the com-
mand of Sir Charles Paget, consisting of the Bellerophon,
Vanguard, Pembroke, Hercules, Malabar, Cornwallis,
Scylla, and Partridge, arrived on Saturday last. The Van-
guard, from what we can gather, is improved by being light-
ened of forty tons ballast, twenty tons water, &c. She is
now, in strong breezes and smooth water, the most weatherly
ship, but not so when it blows hard, and there is a sea ; she
is then beaten by the Pembroke and Bellerophon. The
Pembroke is decidedly the best ship off the wind ; Vanguard
has discharged 20 tons more of ballast since Saturday ; she
now swims at 23'feet 3 inches fore and aft. Every impedi-
ment to sailing, such as shoots to the bead extending down
to the copper line, is removed from the Vanguard, but not
from the other ships ; since her return she has been caulked
in her wales, top sides, and side streaks of gun and upper
decks. The Scylla, an old 18-gun brig, ship-rigged, beats
all the squadron.

The squadron is expected to sail on Friday. It is said
the Rodney is hourly expected to join them ; before trying
with the Vanguard she ought to be docked, as she ran over
two buoys in going out of Hamoazc, previous to sailing to
the Mediterranean, and it is generally believed that some
copper must be knocked off her bottom in consequence.
The Phoenix was taken into clock to-day, having carried
away a large portion .of her fore foot, and considerably
rubbed some of her bottom plank by getting aground near
Santander. The Cornwallis, 74, Captain Sir J. Rowley,
sailed on Monday for Lisbon ; and the Malabar, 74, Capt.
Sir W. Montagu, cn the following day, for the same desti-
nation. The Scylla came into harbour yesterday to be
taken into clock, having sprung a leak. The Lords of the
Admiralty arrived here on Sunday in the Firebrand
-;steamer: froM 'Portsmouth ; having inspected the various
departments here, they Proceeded to-day in the ..same
steamer to Falmouth. His Majesty's packets Sheldrake,
Lieutenant. Passingham, and the Magnet, Lieut. Smyth
Griffiths, sailed, the former on Saturday, and the latter on
Monday, for Falmouth ; also sailed the Falmouth lighter,
with stores for the squadron off the coast of Spain. The
African steamer arrived on Sunday from Falmouth, having
landed the mail from Malta, at that place ; she sailed again
on the 81st for Woolwich to have her boilers, &c., repaired.
His Majesty's ship Russell /4, Captain Sir W. H. Dillon,
was undocked on Monuay, and is in a great state of
forwardness.

By letters received by the African steamer, which
brought home the Mediterranean mail, we have the pain-
ful duty to stAe an act of insubordination had taken place
on board the Rodney, which was attended with fatal con-
sequences. It appears that one of the marines belonging
to that ship was reported by the Sergeant to be off deck
during his watch, for which, by way of punishment, he
was ordered to walk the gangway, for a certain time.
Shortly ofter the Sergeant having occasion to go forward,
was suddenly knocked off the gangway by the said Marine
into the waist, and received so much injury that he died
two days after.
A notice has been given to all naval officers holding civil
appointments that'they are to hold their situations for five
years only
; but they will be eligible for re-appointment. If
put on half-pay they will be entitled to one shilling extra
per diem, but superannuations, as heretofore, are tobe dis-
continued to such officers.
Lieut. Pierce and the complement of Royal Marines for
the Victory embarked on Tuesday.

(From the Devonport Telegraph.)

diterranean, last from Falmouth, on Sunday ; she left
Malta on the Bth ult., Gibraltar, 10th, and Cadiz, 18th.
The African spoke the Hermes off Cape de Gatte, and the
Espoir and Spey off Lisbon. The Childers left. Gibraltar

The Transit steamer at Falmouth, the day preceding the
African, also from the Mediterranean and Lisbon. At the
latter place, there was no news. Portugal was tranquil, .
though the public mind was intent on the transactionfto_
ing on in Spain. 'The Hastings and Cameleon were the
only British men-of-warin the Tagus.
The Volcano steamer, at Portsmouth, is ordered to be
commissioned by Lieut. M'llwaine, for a Mediterranean
packet.—The Russell, 74, was undcicked on Tuesday, hav-
ing had copper cleaned. His Majesty's packets Shetdrake,
Lieut. Passingham, and Magnet, Lieut. Smyth Griffiths,
went out of harbour on Saturday last ; the former sailed for
Falmouth the next day, and the latter on Monday.—The
Falmouth lighter sailed on Saturday, for the coast of Spain,
with stores for the squadron.

sistant, to be employed in the Messenger steam vessel.
FALMOUTH PACKETS.—TIIC Lisbon mails, which
,)lave
of late years been conveyed by Man-of-war brigs, are now
to be taken by the regular packets, the number of which is
being ncreased. A portion of them will carry the Lisbon
mails regularly for three months, and then be succeeded
by others.

On the Comus being paid off here last week, the sea-
men and marines belonging to her contributed 2/. 7s. 7d.
towards the funds for providing for destitute female or-
phans, which is under the direction of the "Seamen and
Marines' Orphan Committee."
Yesterday Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Paget proceeded
to sea with the Bellerophon, Vanguard, Pembroke, and
Hercules, on a three weeks' cruise. The Vanguard
shortly after returned to the Sound, having sprung her
main-yard outside the Breakwater, and in the course of
the moruing the whole of the fleet returned to their an-
chorage in the Sound.

Russell, Fly, Phtenix steam-vessel, Partridge, Hope packet.
In the Sound—Bellerophon, Vanguard, Minden, Her-
cules, Pembroke, Madagascar, Scylla, Scorpion, Emerald

By the Nightingale packet, which arrived at Falmouth
on Tuesday, from the West Indies, we learn that the Mar-
quis of Sligo had resigned, and was only waiting the arrival
of his successor.

His Majesty's brig Partridge, Lieut. Bisson, is to pro-
ceed immediately with Capt. Ericsson, to try in channel
soundings and in deep water, beyond the Bay of Biscay, a
new sounding-machine, which Capt. E. has invented, and
which it is said will give the soundings in the deepest water,
while the ship is going 9or 10 knots. The Partridge is
expected afterwards to join the squadron.
The fever on board the Minden has almost entirely sub-
sided, and a number of the men sent to the Hospital have
been discharged to rejoin their ship. There are still, how-
ever, upwards of 100 men in the Hospital, in a convalescent
state, and up to Thursday, not a single case has terminated
fatally. _

PRIZE MEDALs.--Henry Braddon, Esq., has placed at
the disposal of the Council of the Verulam Philosophical
Society, of London, a handsome silver medal for the best
essay on the formation of minerals, particularly those of
Cornwall.

The Sir Francis Drake proceeded up the Tamer on
Tuesday, loaded with passengers on an excursion of plea-
sure.. While turning round in a narrow part of the Chan-
nel near Calstock, she unfortunately strained her machinery
and injured her paddles, so that she could not return the
same evening, but worked down to Stonehouse Pool on the
following day. The bulk of the passengers were brought
down by the Sir Joseph Yorke, while the remainder found
accommodations in the neighbourhood.
