NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Rear-Admiral Moresby, C. 8., the Commander-in-
Chief in the Pacific, arrived at Valparaiso from the
Sandwich Islands, in his flag-ship Portland, 50, Cap-
tain Chads, and remained there October 6.
Thetis, 38, Captain Kuper, C. 8., was at Coquimbo.
Driver, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Johnson, was
at Panama, waiting the arrival of the mail, when it
was supposed she would leave for England.
Amaz 26, Captain Barker, arrived at Penang
October 8, from Singapore.
Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, Master-
Commander Petley, is having new boilers fitted at
Woolwich. She will be out of the hands of the engi-

neers, &c., by the Ist of January.
Rodney, 92, Captain Graham, C. 8., advanced ship
at Portsmouth, will be ready to go to Spithead on
the 30th.

Captain Harris, of the Prince Regent, 90, fl,g-
ship of Commodore Martin, has arrived in England
on a short leave, for the purpose of attending to some
important private affairs. We hear that the gallant
officer has lately succeeded to a considerable for-
tune. We believe we are right when we assert that
it could not have fallen into better or more deserving
hands.

APPOINTMENT.—Mate—Marcus E. Smithett, to the
Waterloo.

PORT,MOUTII, Nov. 24.—The Elphin, royal dis-
patch steamer, went to Osborne this morning.
Two Dutch barques arrived this morning and
came into harbour, the one leaky, and the other dis-
abled from ha.ving been run into two nights ago in
the Channel.

THE BRAZILS SQUADRON.—The Geyser, 6, steam
sloop, Commander Tatham, arrived at Spithead very
unexpectedly this day at noon from the River Plata,
with the important intelligence of the termination of
the war in that district by the defeat of Oribe. She
left Rio on the 18th ult., Bahia the 231, and St.
Vincent's (Cape de Verd Islands) on the 17th
and put in at Corunna on the 20th for coals. By the
Geyser we learn that the Argentine forces are reported
to have joined Urquiza, and the Orientals the forces of
Garzon. Monte Video had been illuminated, and
great show of rejoicing made there in celebration of
the conclusion of the war. The rate of exchange had
improved, but the precise rate is not given us. The
new flag ship Centaur, 6, Captain Lyster, with Rear-
Admiral Henderson, C 8., arrived at Rio on the 16th
ult. direct from Madeira, which place she left on the
23d of September. She found at Rio the Havannah,
26, Captain Erskine, on the way home from Australia ;
the Cormorant, 6, Commander Chamberlain ; the
Plumper, 11, Commander Nolloth ; the Geyser, 6,
Commander Tatham ; the Bonetta, 3, Lieutenant-Com
mender Waller, and the Crescent receiving ship, Master
Commander Bradshaw. All the ships of the squadron
were in harbour. The Geyser is in a bad state, having
been ashore some time since. The Bonetta was hove
down, having also been ashore to the southward and
suffered damage, but which the carpenters of all the
ships in harbour had put to rights at the date of our
advices. The Harpy iron steam-tender was cruising
outside Rio. Rear-Admiral Reynolds, the ex-Com-
mander-in-Chief, was at Monte Video, whither the
Centaur would go as soon as she had replenished
fuel, &c., and had her engines repaired, the starboard
engine having broken down on her way from Ma-
deira, which crippled her speed very much, as it
could only be secured by chains in a temporary
mariner. The damaged gear would be replaced in
the Imperial dockyard at Rio. Several minor mis-
haps also occurred to the Centaur's machinery, all
owing, it is said, to the hurried and consequently
inefficient way in which the work of refitiug was
carried on in England. She would be detained at
least a week before being enabled to proceed to Monte
Video.
The Fly, 14, Commander Oliver, arrived at Rio,
from New Zealand, on the 17th ult., on her way
home, after being four years employed on that distant
station in surveying service. She saluted Rear-Ad
miral Henderson's flag when she anchored. She had a
mail from Sydney and one from the Falklands. The
Conflict, 10, Commander Drake, and the Locust
steam-vessel, were at Bahia, the former about to pro-
ceed to Rio. By these acivices we learn that the
Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com-
pany's mail packet Shanghai arrived at St. Vincent's,
en route to the Cape, and passed on. The Geyser's
mails were sent up to town at 2.15 this afternoon.
She confirms the reports brought by the Sharpshooter
relative to the extinction of the slave traffic on the
coast of Brazil. She brought a small freight in dia-
monds, and sailed this evening for Chatham to be
paid off.
The Simoom iron steam-frigate was undocked to-
day, after receiving the applications to prevent adhe-
sion to her iron bottom. She will be rigged in the
ba,in for service.
The Porcupine steam-sloop was undocked to-day,
to be masted tor commission.
The Helena, 16, Commander De Courcey, will be
paid uff at this purt ou Friday next.
The Havannah was towed out of Rio, off Cape Frio,
en route to England, by the Geyser.

Del.‘Donnell, is hourly expected to proceed to her sta-
tion, the coast of Africa. Mr. Gabriel, arbitrator at
Loando, takes passage in her.

mission, was taken out of dock yesterday, and the
