NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 22.—The Lightning steam.
tender arrived this morning from Devonport, and
sailed this evening for 'Woolwich.
The Arrogant, 46, Captain Fitzroy, was undocked
to-day, and the Flying Fish, 12, Commander Patey,
taken in to have her copper cleaned. She is very for-
ward in her equipment.
The Russian frigate Pallas, Commodore Nordman,
saluted the national flag and the Port Admiral, having
inquired previously whether such a compliment would
be returned with a similar number of guns.

THE WEST INDIA SQUADRON.
The Plumper screw-sloop, 11, Commander Nolloth,
arrived at Port Royal, Jamaica, on the 11th of July,
complete in all rp...npr.f. --
service uy ..dtus yields her crew (110) a gallon of
Iresti -water per day per man without extending any
fuel beyond that required for cooking. The squadron
was thus distributed at the above date :

Admiral the Earl of Dundonald, G.C.8., in the
Wellesley, 72, at Halifax, expected in Jamaica in
September or October next.
The Trincomalee, 25, Captain Warren, and the
Vixen steam-sloop, Commander Jenner, were with
him, or employed under him, in that part of the
station.

The Sappho, 16, Commander 'Michell, was at
Vera Cruz, and occasionally elsewhere in the Gulf.
The Plumper was to sail on the 17th of July for
several of the ports of St. Domingo, to protect
British Interests, the black republicans being in a very
unsettled state. The French and the Spanish creoles
are at variance, each party wanting a man of their
own beautiful colour as President.

The Viper is at Barbadoes.
The Bermuda is in the Bay of Fundy.
The Helena, 16, Commander De Courcey ; Hound,
10, Commander Wood; and the Sappho, 16, Com-
mander Michell, were at Vera Cruz on the 15th
of July ; the only men-of-war at that part of the
station, which is so extensive. The Hound was pre-
viously at St. Domingo, where a civil war was
going on. The Commander of the Sappho
had a narrow escape of his life on the 30th
of June, on which day, as he was exer-
cising his crew at the great guns firing at a target at
sea, after the men had fired several times, he laid one of
the guus himself and fired it : the recoil of the gun
took one of the handspikes, and it flew against him
with great violence, knocking him down senseless and
breaking his left arm. On the Sappho arriving at
the Havannah the Captain-General of Cuba heard of
the accident, and sent his aide-de-camp to proffer the
comforts and hospitalities of the place, but Captain
Michell could not leave his cot. He was, however,
doing well at the date of our advices.
The Helena, 16, Commander de Courcey, arrived
at Port Royal on the 15th of July, having left St.
Juan de Nicaragua on the ad. Affairs there were in
a very unsettled state ; the bungeo roots, from which
the people derive their only supply of vegetables,
were stopped from going down the river, owing to
disturbances in the interior. On the 11th the
Helena called at Carthagena, but finding that cholera
was raging them to a fearful extent, no communica-
tion was held with the shore. 700 people had fallen
victims to the disease, chiefly of the lower orders.
The disease was on the decline. The Helena was
under orders to proceed to Montego Bay with a com-
pany of the 3d West India Regiment ; she returns
immediately to Port Royal with the relieved de-
tachment.

The Imaum, 72, Commodore Bennett, was in har-
bour at Port Royal.

HER MAJESTY'S ROUTE TO RALMORAL.—The route
p
by which the Queen has this season enetrated to
Strathdoo is one which was often travelled in the four-
teenth century by her ancestor, King Robert 11., many
of whose charters are dated in the hunting season at
Glenshee and Kindroghet. Another of her Majesty's
1 rol redecessors, King Edward 111. of England, made
a still p more memorable passage, in the same age, through
the same mountains—when, in his chivalrous expedition
