Chas. Abbot, arrived at Portsmouth from-the Mediterranean
station, to be paid off. She left Smyrna Oct. 23, &rite 30th,

in that quarter, the Cambrian frigate, Capt. G. W. HaMiltOn,
C.B. ; Rose, 18, Capt. Clowes ; Martin, 18, Capt. Askew; and
Medina, 18, Captain P. D. Hay. Nothing had occurred lately
among the Greeks and the Turks beyond sanguinary combats
between small parties of these ferocious enemies. The Greeks,
by their superior dexterity and nautical knowledge, were lords
paramount of the seas, but none of their rencdntrts had been
attended with any important result. The French had a squadron
of five shipS, under Aditiral Halgan (in the Guerriere, ranee
64), the Dutch one frigate (the Diana), and the Austrians one
frigate and a brig, under a Commodore, lying at Smyrna.—
Capt. Hamilton, of the British frigate Cambrian, gave an ele-
gant ball and supper at Smyrna, on the Ist of October, to
Admiral Halgan, the Dutch and Austrian Commodores, all the
foreign Consuls -and English residents and merchants, on the
occasion of our gracious King's auspicious visit to his (Capt.
H.'s) native country, Ireland. The Racehorse left Vice-Admi-
ral Sir Graham Moore, K.C.8., in the Rochefort, 80, Capt.

Sir T. Maitland 'intended to embark in the Rochefort, for
Malta. The Racehorse spoke transports having the 90th Re-
giment on board, going into Zante, whither they had been sud-
denly ordered from Malta, in consequence of the discovery of
a dangerous spirit of commotion and revolt extensively among
the Greeks in that. island. The Seringapatam frigate, Capt. S.
Warren, C.B. ; and the sloops of war Chanticleer, Capt.
Eden, Dispatch, Capt. Jervoise, Larne, Capt. R. Tait, and

horse bad a bad tempestuous passage ofthree weeks from Malta
to Gibraltar, at which place, on the 26th tilt. about .50 vessels
were driven on shore tison the lines, seven of which were to-
tally lost. The Independent Buenos-Ayrean frigate Heroine,
commanded by Colonel Mason, had arrived there to refit, hav-
ing five feet water in the hold. She had captured, during her
cruise on the coast of Spain, a Spanish man-of-war brig, and
sent her to Buenos Ayres. 'A Portuguese frigate was cruis-
ing against the Algerines ; the treaty having expired, the
Portuguese have dared not to renew it, by . withholding
the customary tribute to the Dey. The American frigate

Earl of Chatham had been in good health since he tool:

Baronet, returned from New York. She arrived there on the
25th December, and sailed on the 2d January.—The sum re-

timidation. Within an hour and a half after the arrival of the
Hind, by the vigilance of the British Consul, and the offer of
500 dollars to the Magistrates, Tweedie was traced to his lodg-
ings, and the optiou offered him of either being sent on board
the Hind or giving up the money; he acted'upon the 'latter,
the amount being in bills. On the following day to that on
