NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

—(From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunday.)
PORTSMOUTH, FEB. o.—The Lord William Bentinck
transport, Lieut. Grigg, agent, arrived from Bermuda on
Thursday, in eighteen days. She brings home passengers
—Lieut. B. Taylor, of the 81st Regiment ; Mr. Amery,
Gunner and Mr. Taylor, Boatswain, of his Majesty's ship
Royal Oak ; Mr. Punchard, Mate of the Dromedary ;
Mr. Slaughter, Mate of the Weymouth ; and Messrs.
Palmer and Winter, the Mate and Guard of the Coro-
mandel. Mr. Taff, Master Shipwright at Bermuda, and
his family, also came horns in her, with several artificers
and sixty-eight convicts.
The Argyle, male convict-ship, Dr. Brock, Medical-
superintendant, arrived on Tuesday from the river, and
received on Frid4 100 convicts on board, from the Le-
viathan, and fifty from the York. She will proceed to
Plymouth when the wind permits, to complete her num-
ber to 250.
His Majesty's brig Onyx, tender to the Royal George
yacht, Lieut. W. Dawson, arrived on Sunday; from
Havre, for whirls place she proceeded from this port on
the previous Tuesday, charged with despatches for Capt.
Hope, of his Majesty's ship Tyne ; that vessel had, how.
ever, embarked -Mr. Fox, and sailed for South America,
before the arrival of the Onyx. The Onyx was ordered
first to the Downs, the Tyne having been driven there by
stress of weather ; but on the Onyx arriving there the
Tyne had sailed for Havre, whither she was followed by
Lieut. Dawson, but owing to light, variable, and westerly
winds, the latter did not arrive until the former had
sailed. Mr. Fox embarked on Thursday morning, the
10th instant, and the Tyne sailed the same afternoon.
Orders were received on Wednesday, for the Ganges,
84, one of the guard ships at this port, to complete her
stores, &c. for foreign service; she went out of the har-
bour on Friday, and will receive on board the remains of
her stores and provisions at Spithead, preparatory, it is
believed, to proceeding to the Mediterranean. Orders
were yesterday received for the disembarkation of the de-
tachment of Royal Marine Artillery, under the command
of Lieut. Lee, which had embarked on board of the
Ganges, and their place will be supplied to-morrow, by a
similar detachment of Royal Marines, under the command
of Lieut. Brittain.
His Majesty's ship Sr, Vincent, 120, flag-ship at this
port, was on Thursday ordered to be fitted for foreign ser-
vice, in the room of the Asia, just commissioned for the
flag of Sir Henry Hotham. Admiral Sir T. Foley will
shift his flag to the latter ship, and the officers and crew
will also be exchanged. The St. Vincent is destined to
receive the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir H. Hotham, ap-
pointed to relieve Sir Pulteney Malcolm in the Mediterra-
nean command, and her crew to be completed to eight
hundred men.
his Majesty's ship Undaunted, 46, Captain E. Harvey,
returned to Spithead from St. Helen's, on Sunday, her
orders to proceed to Lisbon having been countermanded.
She dropped down again to St. Helen's on Friday, and
will sail when the wind will permit, for Rio Janeiro, the
Cape of Good Hope, and the Mauritius. A detachment
of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Lieut. C.
H. Burnaby, has embarked on board her for a passage to
the latter settlement.
His Majesty's ship North Star, 28, Captain Lord Wil-
liam Paget, has been delayed going out of harbour owing
to some nece.sary refitments, but is expected to proceed
about the latter end of this month to rejoin the squadron
under Vice-Admiral Colpoys, touching at Barbadoes and
Jamaica.
