PORTSMOUTH, Jinx 9.—The Brazilian frig te Piranga,
Commodore T. S. Crosbie, Capt. T. Sheppard, is refitting at
Spithead, for the purpose of returning to Rio .Janeiro. It is
not expected that Lord Cochrane will re-hoist his flag in her,
though he continues to give directions respecting her re-equip--
ment. The crew have been paid three months wages (all that
was due) and prize-money, with liberty to continue in the ser-
vice or not. Many of them having already squandered away
their money, have re-entered, and ethers have offered them--
selves as volunteers to serve in our ships, but were treated as
renegades, and not accepted. The custom in the Brazilian
service is to pay the seamen every two Months. Lord Coch-
rane is now in London.
His Majesty's yacht, the Herald, Capt. H. J. Leeke, sailed
