NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire TelegrapA.)

PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 23.-L-We received letters from our
Malta correspondent to the Ist inst., which assure us that all
appearance of hostile feeling in the neighbourhood of the Dar-
danelles was vanished, and cannot be created again with any
effect, at least until the winter has passed "away. The British
squadron, under Sir Josias Rowley, anchored at Vourla on the
22d of July, from Mytelene, and, after the ships had completed
their water, proceeded thence to Scalanova, from which
port the squadron would sail to Nauplia, and remain there until
the arrival of the August mail from England, then proceed to
Corfu, to await the September mail, and return to Malta early,
in October to winter. We present the following extract,
which comprehends information of considerable interest from
the various positions on the Mediterranean shores :

sident), to try Mr. Alex. Lawrence, Surgeon of his Majesty's
brig Buzzard, for having been guilty of acts of drunkenness
between the time of joining the brig and the 11th inst. The
Court having heard the witnesses for the prosecution, and what
the prisoner stated in his defence, was of opinion, " That the
charge against the prisoner had been proved ; but it appearing
that, whilst in practice on shore, he had re2eived a severe hurt
on the head, which was followed by.-fits of epilepsy, and
injury to his intellect, they were induced only to sentence him
to be dismissed from the brig, and to have his name placed at
the bottom of the list of his Majesty's Navy, upon which list
he is never able to rise."
