NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Mutine, 12, Com-
mander Robert Tryon, arrived last evening from Sheer-
ness, and saluted the Commander-in- Chief this morning.

The Belleisle troop-ship, Captain J. Kingcomb, an-
chored at St. Helen's to-day, having met light and baf-
fling winds on her way down Channel to Plymouth from
the Nore.
The Rattlesnake surveying-ship, Captain 0. Stanley,
hauled off from her hulk, the Dryad, to-day into Block-
house Hole, to complete her painting and other minor
arrangements; her crew shifted over to her yesterday
and bent sails. She is expected to leave the harbour on
Monday next.
The paying off the Resistance all standing has turned
out, as we anticipated, a complete farce. No sooner
was she re-commissioned than the work of stripping
began, and we fully expect she will be stripped to her
girtlines before any progress will be made in her re-
equipment.
- The Apollo troop-ship, Commander W. Radcliffe, ar-
rived this morning from the Cape of Good Hope.
Lieutenant Thomas Heals (1827) died on the 22d
instant. The gallant deceased was midshipman of the
Rota in the Walcheren expedition and defence of Cadiz,
and served in the boats of that ship at the capture of
the French privateer off Belleisle ; also at the capture
of an armed American brig; taking of St. Mary's,
, Georgia; and in theconflict with the General Armstrong,
American privateer, at Fayal; served in the Infernal
bomb at Algiers.
WooLwicu, Nov. 26.—The Grappler, steam-vessel,
Lieutenant-Commander Lysaght, left Woolwich at an
early pour this morning, fur Greenhithe, to have her
compassess adjusted by Captain Johnson, and will then
proceed to Portsmouth to be paid advance for service on
the coast of Africa. Mr. Dennen, of the engineer depart-
ment in the Woolwich dockyard, went down the river in
her to give a final report upon the working of the engines
and speed of the vessel. On arriving at the measured
mile in Long-reach, the time was taken, and it was found
that, with the tide, and her engines making 201 revolu-
tions per minute, the mile was accomplished in four mi-
nutes andgs3 seconds. The average with and against the
tide was 91 knots per hour, and by Massey's log about
10 knots per hour, which will be her average speed.
The engines worked well, and had a pressure of 51b. upon
the square inch. Lieutenant Lysaght, who commands
the vessel, earned his promotion in China, and had the
misfortune to lose his right eye by an accidental ex-
plosion while lieutenant of the Spartan, 22 guns, in the
West Indies.

The Rhadamanthus steam-vessel, Master-Commander
Aylen, arrived at Woolwich to-day, from Portsmouth
and the coast of Ireland.

EMEUTE at BOULOGNE-SUR-MER.
On Wednesday last, about two o'clock in the afternoon,
our peaceful little town was a scene of complete commo-
tion, occasioned by a shipment of oxen and potatoes for
England. The mob would not allow them to be em-
barked, and a violent altercation took place between
them and the police, during which time the sous-prefet,
en grande tenue, the mayor, and authorities arrived ;
they were received with a volley of stones and potatoes,
several of which fell heavily upon some of the great
men in office. The sous-prefet had his order torn from
his breast and was nearly killed. Daring the time the
authorities were parleying and seeing the potatoes put on
board the Britannia steamer, a ludicrous farce took
place ; some boys and women cut the rope to which
twenty-five cows were attached, and the beasts being set
at liberty, some were driven into the water, and others
were hooted and pelted about the town, to the terror of
the inhabitants.
The mob, about seven o'clock in the evening, paraded
the streets, singing the " Marseillaise," and when they
arrived in the Rue de l'Ecu, opposite the Mayor's house,
they- began breaking his windows ; which alarmed his
worship so much that he became emporte, and ran out
of his house sword in hand, threatening destruction to
every one. If the National Guard (Horse) had not
suddenly come up, the worthy mayor would have pro-
bably received a severe chastisement from the infuriated
mob.

M. Adam, the mayor, has for some time past received
anonymous letters, stating, that unless he prevents the
exportation of potatoes, he must take the conse-
quence, and about ten days ago an incendiary
fire took place on one of his farms. Some of the
poorer classes presented themselves to the mayor
with children in their arms, demanding bread
for them, and saying it was a dreadful calamity to be
afflicted with a potato disease; but, to see the staff of life
(potatoes) shipped off in face of a starving people, was
more than human nature could stand. The mayor replied,
the law did not forbid the exportation, and trade could
not be interfered with; but that he had that morning
written to the Minister of Commerce to allow American
flour to enter from England, upon payment of a certain
duty, it being prohibited from entering France unlesa
brought direct from America. If a stop is not put to
the
exportation, it is feared it will produce serious and,
Perhaps, fatal consequences.
New (Thursday) the town is quiet.
Tact morning several of the ringleaders were ar-
