NAVAL INTELLIGENCE

turn to the Admiralty from his continental tour
about the 11th proximo.
The Dutch frigate Prins Von Orange, Captain De
Vroe, got under weigh in Plymouth Sound on Sun-
day morning, but after making a few tacks again
brought up at her former anchorage and took in all
sail. As it was intended she should sail for Flushing
either on Sunday or yesterday, it is possible she now
merely waits a wind. During her stay at Devonport
she has been visited by a number of naval officers
end others taking an interest in such matters, all of
whom speak in high commendation of the extreme
order and discipline of the ship. She is 192 feet in
length and 50 feet in breadth, and stows six months'
provisions and 120 days' water for 400 men easily ;
and being what is termed an educational ship, has
a large number of junior officers, who have visited
the several public establishments during the past
week, and together with the captain and other
officers express themselves highly gratified with
their reception and the attention shown them by all
classes. On Tuesday last the principal officers dined
with the Port-Admiral Sir John Ommanney, and on
Thursday Captain De Vroe and his officers were en-
tertained by Colonel Gordon and the officers of the
Royal Marines.
