PLYMOUTH, MARCH 26.—Her Majesty's sloop Ile-
cruit, Commander Adolphus Slade, came in this mom
ing ; left Lisbon, on Thursday, the 18th of March'
Nothing of importance had transpired there since the
departure of the last mail.

a chance of being dislodged.

tain J. N. Nott ; her Majesty's ship Hibernia, 104'

84, Captain F. Moresby ; and her Majesty's stellar
sloop Phcenix, Commander James S. A. Dennis.
Her Majesty's steam-vessel Jackal, Lieutenant'
Commander George Western, sailed for Athens on the
16th inst. Iler• Majesty's brig Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant"
Commander William T. Rivers, was ready to sail for
Oporto on the 18th inst. Her Majesty's steam-frigate
Gladiator, Captain John Robb, was at Oporto, and her

The Recruit brings important Admiralty dispatches
and heavy mail bags. Off Cape Finisterre, between si%
and seven o'clock in the evening of the 20th inst., when
under close-reefed foretopsail and double-reefed Innol;
topsail, she experienced a very sudden and heavy squall
which nearly capsized her. She carried away her man'
yard, and used her maintopsail for a mainsail until the
yard was fished. The storm was succeeded by severe
lightning. The increased ballast has caused the Recruit
to sail better; but in cvnsequence of the malconstruetion
of her rudder she still steers badly, and occasionally
throws the man over the wheel.
