NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 31.—The Orestes, 18, is
hourly expected at Spithead from Oporto.
Extract of a letter from the Mauritius, dated the
30th of April The Melville 74, Captain Hart,
and Alligator, 28, Captain Lambert, are hourly ex-
pected here from Bombay. The Jupiter troop ship
arrived here yesterday from Plymouth and Rio,
having on board the 19th Regiment, and will shortly
proceed to the Cape of Good Hope, to take the
crew of the Badger, 10, Commander Stowe, to
England, that ship being about to be converted into
a receiving hulk. The Talbot, 28, Captain Dick-
inson, C. 8., will shortly leave this station for Eng-
land, her time of service having expired. The 46th
Regiment put in here on the 23d, on its way to
England, in two ships. The Is's, 42, Captain
Polkinghorne, is lying here; and the Pelorus, 18,
Commander Meredith, is at the Cape."
Extract of a letter dated the Cape of Good Hope,
April 19 :—" The Arab transport sails to-morrow
with the baggage of Sir L. Cole; his Excellency
quits his Governorship here on the arrival of La
Belle Alliance, from India, in which ship he has en-
gaged a passage. Report says we are to have no
more full Governors, but our next Chief is to be a
Lieutenant-Governor, with a salary of 3,0001., in-
stead of 7,0001. as hitherto. Our Court of Justice
is to be re-modelled, and the salaries amazingly re-
duced. Many families have left the Mauritius, fear•
ing disturbances. We have had very dry weather,
no rain for seven months ; our vintage inconsequence
will be goad, but the corn-farmer can do nothing,
and many cattle have died for want of grass and
water. All is quiet and tranquil amongst the slaves
and slave-owners, waiting patiently a reply to a me-
morial sent home by them some time back. What
that reply may be we do not know, but there can be
no fear of any disturbance here; our slave laws are
certainly calculated for giving great trouble to the
farmer, with little good to the slave."

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On the 17th April, his
Majesty's ship Brisk, employed on the coast of
Africa, in the suppression of the slave trade, came to
anchor at 9 a.m. i❑ Goree, a French settlement.
Whiles preparing to salute the French flag, the
gunner (Mr. Cole), attempted to draw the shot
from the long 18-pounder, when it suddenly explo•
ded, and blew him overboard. A black seamen
instantly jumped overboard after the body, and
brought it alongside, but life was extinct, the left
arm blown off, and all the left side shockingly
burnt and mutilated. The Commander applied to
the French Governor for permission to bury the
corpse on shore, (Mr. Cole being much esteemed
and respected by the officers and crew), but it was
refused. The ship weighed, stood to sea, and com-
mitted the body to the deep. The deceased has
left a widow and two children, in Navy-row, to
lapent his fate. We leave it to Frenchmen to
