NAVAL INTELLICiENCE.

PonTsmount, FntDAY.—The Powerful, 84, Captain the
lion. Richard S. Dundas, was seen last evening rounding
Bembridge Ledge, and she anchored at night inside the Nab,
coming up this morning to tha anchorage at Spithead, salut-
ing the flag of Admiral the Hon. Sir Bladen Capel at ten
o'clock. She has had a long passage from Lisbon, having
left the Tagus (being towed out by the Encounter) on the
15th of February. For the first week she had fine weather,
with light winds, and she got into the Channel on Sunday
last, since which she has been boxing about against strong
easterly gales. She has brought home from Malta ant
Gibraltar a quantity of old ci,ndetnned naval siores,and about
thirty invalids, who were brought on shore by the Sprightly
steamer this afternoon.

Mr. Paton Lardner, surgeon, late of the Superb, to join the
Monarch, and Lieut. Ennis Chambers, late of the Encounter,
to join the Blenheim, have come home passengers in the
Superb. The powder hoy went out this afternoon, and two
gun-lighters for her lower-deck guns, and she will tine into
harbour to-morrow to pay off.
Prince Regent, 92, acting Captain Fead, was paid off to-
day alongside the dockyard in the most orderly and decorous
manner. From her having been lying alongside the yard-
jetty, the introduction of spirituous liquors into the ship has
bean entirely prevented. Consequently, during the time the
crew have been at work returning stores and clearing her
holds, no drunkenness had eccurred, but the work has pro-
ceeded with the utmost regularity; and to-day tin 3 option
of paying off and discharging the crew was performed as
quietly as possible.
Avon, Plymouth steamer, has been detained at PortemouVx
for the purpose of taking down to that port any of the Rd_
gent's crew that may wish to go there. Ciptain Harris, her
new captain, was on board to-day, but as yet we hear that
few seamen have re-entered ; but so soon as they have had
a fling on shore, no doubt, from the popularity of Captain
Harris, many of the crew will return. The only commission
down at Portsmouth is for Commander Henry Caldwell, just
arrived in the Powerful.

Fearless steamer, Lieutenant-Commander Turner, passed
through Spithead on Wednesday from Plymouth, en route
to Woolwich to pay off.
Fairy, royal yach tender, Master-Commander Welsh,
came on the graving slip to-day to ship a screw of two
threads.

Topaz, old hulk, has been towed up the harbour, and will
be placed on Tuesday, at the height of the spring tide, as a
target for the practice of distant range from the Excellent.
We hear that no court-martial will take place on the com-
mander of the Inflexible for quitting Grey's Town ; that the
Admiralty have approved of his removing the American
people from that place, at so many dollars per man, to Day
for the consumption of coals.
Captain Heaslop intends showing his new-invented signal-
lights to-night, if it be not too hazy. They will be exhibited
at Seaview, in the Isle of Wight, and answered from th•
semaphore in the dockyard, a distance of about five miles.
Essex Indiaman arrived from the river, to embark passen-
gers and stock, and will probably sail about Monday.
PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Cumberland, 70, flag of Vice-
Admiral it George Seymour, K.C.8., was to leave Sheer-
ness this morning for Spithead.
The Hon. Lady Capel, wife of the Commander-in-Chief at
this port, gave a grand ball at the Admiralty-house this
evening.
The melancholy news was this day received by Messrs.
Garrett and Gibbon, the agents to Lloyd's at this port, of the
wreck on the 26th instant, near Calais, of the schooner
Liberty, of this port, and of the loss of all hands (five in
number). The master (Weeks) has left a widow and fort
children; the mate, a widow and nine children. The others
were single men belonging to this port.

THE CANTAII BRAcE.—Anotber proof that little
ratters are not beneath the notice of great minds, may be
found in the fact, that one of the most erudite mathemal-
liarity would
clans at Cambridge has recently applied his talents to the
perfection of a pair of suspenders for the nether garment of
It33tlilrsTe, we confess
man, the excellence of which conslsts in their novelty and
simplicity, and the perfect comfort they ensure to the wearer.

Accounts from Vienne, of the 23d nit., state that
strong notes had been addressed to Sardinia and to
Switzerland, on the subject of the Italian refugees.
Negotiations had been entered into with France, but
obstacles had been ii.terposed on the part of England.
In the course of a debate in the Hanoverian Chamber,
en the subject of the Dresden Conferences, the Presi-
dent of the Council stated that the Government of
Hanover would not tolerate any foreign influence having
for its object any change in the Constitution, or any in-
fringement of the rights of the Crown.

Accounts have been received from Rome to the

dates all bequests made to the intruding Romish
Bishops in England.
The carnival has been kapt up with great gaiety by

The Milan Gazette publishes a notification from
Prince Sehwarzenberg, dated the 20th, announcing
that the payment of the forced loan is to be divided
into twelve monthly instalments, so that from March
next to the end of October each instalment shall
amount to five millions, and from October onwards
the six remaining instalments are to comprise the
awn required to fill up the sixty millions, deducting
what may have been paid voluntarily up to that
time. The provinces that made proposals of volun-
tary payment before the expiration of January last
are allowed time to organize voluntary subscriptions
until the end of the present month. The other pro-
vinces shall be immediately subjected to the exaction
of the forced loan in the above-mentioned proportion.
Nevertheless, they shall be allowed to enjoy the ad-
vantages accruing from voluntary subscription until
the end of this month, but with the restriction that
three-fifths of the sums pail shall be in hard cash,
and the remainder in treasury notes.
A letter from Naples says—" The King has an-
nounced his intention of refusing passports to all Nea-
politans desirous of visiting England and the Great
Exposition. He will not have them see or hear any-
thing calculated to improve their manufactures or en-
lighten their minds. Apart from all other considera-
tions, particnlarly those of as religious' character,
he is anxious to stand between his people and that
knowledge which is power. Many, in humble cir-
cumstances, have been saving up money for a trip to
England, particularly people in business ; but all their
prospects are knocked on tba head."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIk.).

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Legitimatists and Bonapartists will, it is said, op-
pose the motion of M. CRETON for permitting the return
of the Bourbons, and the Opinion Pubtique also calls
upon the Orleanists to oppose it " on the ground of the
union cemented and declared between all the members
of the Bourbon family." According to the terms of this
union (to which, however, tiao Ductless of ORLEANS is
not a party) the Princes of the House of Orleans cannot
Maria to Franca until HENRI V. shall be proclaime3, and
even should the Prince DE JOINVILLE be elected Presi-
dent of the Republic he could not accept the office.
Although the anniversary of the 24th February
passed off without disturbance. there was a quiet but
strong manifestation of public feeling in favour of
Republicanism; although there was no large procession,
yet upwards of 100,000 persons visited the column of
July for the purpose of depositing crowns of immortelles.
We find the following in the Pafrie:—" We have re-
ceived accounts from Cayenne to the 24th of Jan. At
that time the colony was plunged into great consternation,
in consequence of the death of the Governor, Captain
Maissin, from yellow fever. Although his ship,
the Tartare, was still in quarantine, eighteen sailors,
all that remained alive out of a crew of sixty-five, deter-
mined to follow the body of their beloved commander to
the grave. The population en masse attended the
funeral. Captain Maisain was a nephew of the cele-
brated composer, Auber, and the French navy has by
his death lost a very valuable efficer. The Procureue-
GC:eral, in comequence of the death of the Governor,
bad assumed the temporary direction of the affairs of the
colony. The fever, which had abated for some little
time, had again resumed all its violence."
The Bonirse was firm, with little business doing. The
Five per Cents. opened at 96f, 60c., and closed at 96f.
