NAVAL INTELLIGENCV.

POILTSMOUTH, Jutax 23.—The fleet under the corer-
nand of Sir E. Codrington, by the arrival of the Curaroa
rom Chatham this day, only awaits the arrival of the
;tag from Plymouth to be completed. It was not origi_
;rally intended that she should have joined. The ships
ender Sir Edward's command consist of Caledonir, Prince
legent, Asia, Revene, 'Talavera, Wellesley, Donegan,
larham, Alfred, Curacoa, Plant, and Brisk. The Pritkin
nd Volage are also lying at Spithead, besides several cot-
ers and yachts. The time of sailing, as given in The goat.
'aloe time since, was, on Sir Edward's return to London:,
mstponed. It is expected that they will drop down to Si.
Jelen's on Monday or Tuesday, but quite uncertain wheal
they will finally sad. The Russian gentlemen who had
drtained permission to sail with the ships, have been told
hit their presence may be spared. This lool.:s rather
ominous as regards the ships' destination. The Caledonia
s still short of 200 men, and the other ships in propor-
ion to their size. Notwithstanding so much has been said
about a mititnderstanding among seamen, with respect to
heir being paid off on their return to port, it is very pia.in
that there is an understanding among them as to whittle
,hips they would go in, and which they would not go in.
iirlf a tl; zen will take a wherry and go to a ship, go on
ooaral, ask a few questions, get into their boat and try an-
other ship, and so on till they find one they are satisfied
with. The French squadron of five line-of-battle ships
and two frigates have sailed from Toulon for the Mores,
The Russian line-of-battle ship Cultni and frigate Leon,

were reviewed yesterday by Sir J. Cockburn, their neve
commander-in-chief, and went through their manoeuvres
very slowly but with the most extraordinary precision.—
The remains of the Royal Marine Artillery were also in-
.pected this day, and gave Erect satisfaction.
