The Hon. Admiral Cuttios, we understand, is
F succeed Sir FRANCIS LAPOREY, in the command
the Leeward Islands. 'He will hoiit his flag
the Rodney. Admiral SAWYER goes tO Cork in
o Tartarus, Capt. Pascci, to take the command.
Tfie,British Queen Margate hoy has been re-
eased, and arrived at Margate-on Saturday.
Vessels, with grain and provisions of all Sorts,
are hourly arriving at Heligoland from Sleswich
and Holstein.
Friday the Hope and Blue-eyed Maid cartels re-
turned to Portsmouth, front.Morlaix. The former
wag detained there seven, the latter three day, to
-perform Tratarittne;Thotigh it Masi have been tvell
!tnown they came direct front Portsmouth with
passengers. The real cause of their restraint we
must learn through Some other channel, as no
system earn be more rigidly enforced than that es-
tablished at Marlaix , to prevent' any sort of intel-
ligence from being obtained by cartels.
• On the 26th of July the 'Nereus frigate arrived at
Rio de Janeiro from the Rio de la Plata, with a
considerable quantity of specie' and bullion on
board, and would have proceeded to Ehgland, had
nut Admiral DIXON, for the greater Security of the
property, deemed it more }wedeln to send it home
in his own 'flag-ship, the Montagne, which ar-
rived .safe at Portsmouth on Sunday, with gold
and silver to the amount Of above 450,0001. ster-
ling on board. The Montague sailed front Rio de
Janeiro on the sth of Awrust ; and on the 13th,
.in S. lat. 16. 34. W. long 27. 55. site fell in with
the Spanish ship Son',fase la Voladora, with troops
fOrlhrfelief of Miinte Video. This vessel, with
four-otli'er transports, sailed from Cadiz on the
2d of June, under convoy of the San Pablo, 74,
and carried out the 2d division of an. army of ten
thOasand men, destined to oppose the Revolu-
tionists of Buenos Ayres. Off the iVestern Isles,
the Montague also fell in with the English brig
John Reid, last from Pernanthoco, from whence
she sailed on the Ist of August, in coinpany with
the convoy from the Brazils, under 'the Dort cht-
ter, the Porcupine sloop of War, and the fndeloti-
- gable. frigate. The Master of the John Reid re-
tared, that whilst 'belay at Pernambuco, a large
frigate made her appearance in the offing, and sent
a boat on shore for provisions. She proved to he
a new American frigate, called the Congress, and
cart ying
.64 guns. The Dart cutter was immedi-
ately dispatched with the intelligence to Admiral
Dixot4, at Rio Janeiro; but from the very stye-
rim. force of the Congress, it was thought that the
Admiral would scarcely be able to afford sufficient
' protection to the trade. Captain HEY WOOD, and
the Officers of the Nereus, were tranferred to the
Montague ; and Captain Dlxoty,, with a propor•
tionate nuMber of Officers, remained in the
Nereus.
The Wit.r.tot Mmes.—On Wednesday last, by
the scientific and judicious arrangement of Mr.
J. M. ktutousc, an attempt was made to raise
the William Miles West Indianian, frOm the Loci,
of 'Cumberland-Basin; in which bile tats bilged,
by means of an immense tank capably of (hi.,
platkg from six to eight hundred tons of witter.
rhe Plan would, we have no doubt, succia,dod iri
hot the ship was so fireatitiiiiY
the first attempt,
crushed between the walls of the Conahculuild,-

A report has been circulated, that Lord STAN-
HOPE had projected a counter-blow-up for Mr.Mtx.,
the American's torpedoes, and that he had almost
daily conferences With the Commissioners of the
Navy Board, at their Office. in Somerset-place,.on
the subject. ,We understand there is no founda,
tion for this report. His Lordship has,frequently
visited the Navy Board on the subject of having
vessel (a man of war), built of about one-fourth
greater length than is at prssent built ; but .we
have not heard that his Lordship's project is likely
to be adOpted, or that he has convinced experi-
enced men of its expediency.
A convoy of 400 sail left Gottenburgh On the
17th inst. for British ports, of which 100 were
transports, having on. board Spanish soldiers on
their return to the Peninsula from Russia, - where
they were made prisoners iu the campaign of last
winter, while doing a compulsory service in the
French invading tinny. The Emperor ALEX-
ANDER, with that magnanimity which belong:: to
him, assembled these gallant, betrayed, and injur-
ed soldiers, and having clothed and equipped them,
gave them over to the Representative of the Spa-
nish Regency at his Court. We have already
given a description of the grand and interesting
public festival at St. Petersburg') on carrying this
restitution into effect in its first stage. The '14(.-

junction of this force with the army under the
Marquis WELLINOToN, to whom, from their nutll-
- hers, sad still more from their-experience and digs
ciplioe in such a length ;11)11 variety of se'rvice,
they must be a most elfeCtive aid. From thv
her of transports they occupy, we would suppose
the rota/ amount Must be 12:000 men.
