ROYAL NAVY, &c.

On Wednesday last his Majesty's ship Seringapatam, .46,
Capt. &Warren, C.B. arrived at Portsmouth from the Mediter-
ranean. The Seringapatam passed the ill-fated island of Scio
en the 7th of May—it was then in flames. The Greek squad-
ron consisted of five ships and 53 brigs .and schooners. They
made signals to the Seringapatam, apparently to solicit as-
sistance, but it being a dead calm, and the Seringapatam
under orders to .observe strict neutrality in the Greek cause,
she proceeded on to Corfu, which island she left on the
Bth June, all the lonian Islands being then perfectly quiet
and healthy ; the Euryalus, Larne, Dispatch, and Chan-
ticleer, were employed at them ; the Hind, in one month from
Spithead, vas passed off Goza the 12th of June, going:to re-
lieve the Larne. Vice-Admiral Sir Graham Moore, K.C.B.
in the Rochefort, 80, was at Leghorn ; the Cambrian, Rose,
and Medina, protecting the British merchant property at Smyrna
and neighbourhood. The Seringapatam left Malta on the 19th
of June, leaving there the Redpole only. Commissioner Isaac
Woolley took a passage to Gibraltar, on his annual visit
to that dock-yard, where the Seringapatam arrived on the
Ist instant, and sailed again on the same evening. 'Colonel
Lacy, with two companies of Royal Artillery, was to leave
Gibraltar on the 3d inst. for Malta and the lonian Islands. The
garrisons of the lonian islands, Malta, and Gibraltar, were
perfectly healthy. The Commander-in-Chief of the forces, Sir '
Thomas Maitland, was at Trieste. General Sir Manley Power
returned to Malta, from Marseilles, on the 18th of June. The
Seringapatam released from quarantine on Friday. She
sailed yesterday for Chatham, to be docked, taking thither 200
of the Royal Marine Artillery, who embarked on Saturday
afternoon.—( HanipshiOe Telegraph.)
On Friday the reduction of the officers of his Majesty's dock-
yard at this place, according to the regulations recently stated,
took place, when 14 clerks and 47 quarterinen were discharged,
and notification NS,clS:giV Cll to the masters of all the trades, except
the master sailmaker, ropemaker, rigger, blacksmith, and
bricklayer, that their services must in future be dispensed with.

place, and which is to be thus continued until the number
of men has been reduced to the intended future establishment.

tions ordered in Plymouth. dock-yard are precisely to the same
extent, to take place-from the 29th inst. Among the contemplated.
arrangements connected with the ,Nary is the removal of the en-
tire Victualling Department from this place to Weovel, that it
may be consolidated with the Navy Brewery there, and conduct-

When the Calliope, Lieutenant Justice, left Rochefort, there
were building there, the Count d'Artois, of 120 guns, and the
Tonant, 80. The Vestal Frigate (of the same scanting as the
largest American frigate), to carry 42 twenty-four pounders,
had been just launched, and sailed for Brest. The French Au-
thorities were no more than civil to the officers of the Cal-
liope ; they- refused a sight of the dock-yard.
A ila,g-staff' has lately been erected on the venerable Keep,
at Arundel Castle, 80 feet high, on which occasionally will be
hoisted a large ensign.
The Starling cutter, Lieut. Turner, arrived at Portsmouth on
Saturday morning from the westward. Sailed the Linnet tender
for Plymouth, with silver for the use of the Pay-office.
The schooner Prince Regent, Lind, master, arrived at the
Motherbank, with a cargo of wine and fruit, from Malaga and
Gibraltar, and many passengers of the army from the latter
place. She was released from quarantine on Saturday, and pro-
ceeded for London.

In consequence of Fort Monckton proving unhealthy to the
Royal Marine Artillery stationed there, from the surrounding
marshes, which in several instances have produced ague tO
considerable extent amongst the men, it has been determined
to remove the whole of the Corps to Chatham, and they are
ordered to hold themselves in readiness to embark forthwith. A
considerable part of them will be conveyed to Chatham in the
Forte, Seringapatarn, and Phaeton frigates. Fort Pitt has been
selected as the place of their future station. The first detach-
ment, consisting of 200 men, with their families and baggage,
embarked on board the Seringapatam on Saturday afternoon
for a passage to Chatham.
