NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTII, APRIL 6.

COMBINED SQUADRONS.—DOWNS, APRIL 4.
The Larne sloop of war, Commander Sidney Smith,
got on shore to-day on the off part of the Goodwin
Sands, during thick weather, accompanied with rain,
where she still continues. Every assistance has been
afforded her from the shore, and the boats from the
different men-of-war in the Downs. There is every
probability of her getting off again (on flood tide)
should the weather continue moderate. The Larne
was proceeding for the Downs with a Dutch galliot
in tow, which she has detained during her cruise.
The Scout sailed on a cruise on Wednesday. Re-
main in the Downs the Talavera line-of-battle ship,
and the French ships Resolu and Junon frigates,
Creole corvette, and Le Jasses brig.
The Hyacinth, 18, Commander Blackwood, will
go out of harbour on Tuesday.
The Warspite, 74, was taken into dock to-day;
and if found fit, to be commissioned; if not, the
Edinburgh or Bellerophon will be substituted.

Plymouth from Falmouth on Monday, having re-
turned from Lisho❑ with a mail. While heaving up
her anchor recently in the Tagus the windlass gave
way in some manner as to cause almost the instant
death of two seamen, with serious injury to others.
The Pike schooner, Lieut. Brooking, sailed from
Plymouth late on Monday, with despatches for
Lisbon.
