NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
DISTRESSED BRITISH EMIGRANTS FROM PRANCE.
The Lords of the Admiralty have issued directions to
the dockyard authorities at Portsmouth and Plymouth,
to prepare vessels in those harbours for the reception of
distressed British subjects compelled to leave France by
the malcontents of the present revolution. In compli-
ance with this order, the Veteran receiving hulk (for-
merly a 26-gun frigate) at Portsmouth and a similar
class of ship at Plymouth are being fitted for the accom-
modation of the expected arrivals ; and as merchant
tonnage will not be at such convenient command for the
shipment of the masses now awaiting passage to the
hospitable shores of Great Britain, the Admiralty intend
to equip and send out steamers to the coast of Franca
for this benevolent and national object. It is on this
service, we conjecture, that the steamers now so expe-
ditiously fitting out at Portsmouth are to be dispatched,
and not to make any " demonstrtion" upon the shores
of Ireland or elsewhere.
Her Majesty's ship Resistance, 42-gun frigate, fitted
for the conveyance of troops, in dock at Portsmouth, will
be taken out this day, when the Illustrious, 72 guns,
Captain R. A. Yates, depot ship, will be docked to have
her copper broomed down.
Her Majesty's ship Carysfort, 26 gunsoCaptain George
Horace Seymour, was towed into Portsmouth harbour
last night, to be dismantled and put out of commission,
oontrary to public expectation and the previous orders
of the Admiralty.
The Champion, is gun corvette, Commander Hayes,.
fitting at Portsmouth, will proceed to the roadstead of
Spithead to-morrow (Sunday), whence she will sail on
Tuesday or Wednesday to the Brazils, and ultimately to
the South Pacific, with mails and supernumeraries for
the squadrons on those stations respectively.
The old ordinary guard-ship Poictiers, at Chatham, is
ordered to be paid off, and be commissioned with a com-
plement of 270 officers and men, instead of 320 as before.
The Southampton, 50 gun frigate, is ordered to be
brought forward at that place for the pendant.
The Growler steam-sloop at Portsmouth, recently a
" free emigrait" ship on the coast of Africa, will be put
out of commission this day, after which she will be re-
fitted as a steamer in ordinary.
