NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)

American command, vacant by the death of Sir Michael Sey-
mour, Bart., K. C. B.
Rear-Admiral Patrick Campbell, C. 8., sailed on Wednes-
day in the Thalia, 46, Captain Wauchope, for the Western
African command.

The Buckinghamshire, for Bombay, with the Governor,
the Right Hon. Sir Robt. Grant, and family, sailed on Sun-
day ; the Duke of Argyle, for the Cape, Madras, and Ben-
gal, on Monday ; the Mary Ann, for Madras, on Thursday ;
and the Madras, for Madras, yesterday. The Orient, for
Bengal, and the Lady Flora for Madras and Bengal, which
arrived this day, will sail on Monday, after embarking stock
and passengers. The Waterloo, from Calcutta, passed by
yesterday for the River.

The Portuguese schooner Duqueza di Braganza was cap-
tured near St. Sebastian's, .on the 16th of June, by the Satel-
lite, Captain Smart, with 577 slaves on board.
The ships at this port ( Asia and Bellerophon), and those at
Chatham and Plymouth, which were sometime since put into
a preparatory state of equipment, are now ordered to be re-
stored to a state of Ordinary for the winter, by getting the
topgallant masts and yards upon deck, striking topmasts,
and lowering the yards down to the gunwhales. The expec-
tation that these ships would become necessary as a reinforce-
ment to our squadron in the Mediterranean has evidently ceased.
On Monday his Majesty's ship Dublin, 50, Captain Lord
J. Townshend, arrived from being second in command in
South America, in which Lord James was relieved by Com-
modore Mason, C. 8., in the Blonde, 46, which ship left Rio
again on the 25th of June for the Pacific. The Dublin
brought to England one million and a half of dollars, all on
merchants' account, one million of which was transhipped
from the Samarang from the Mexico. She left Callao on the
27th of April, and arrived at Valparaiso in twelve days, from
which period, until the sth of June, she was waiting for the
arrival of provisions from Rio. The ships left in the Pacific
were—The Challenger frigate, Captain Michael Seymour, at
Lima ; the Conway, 28, Captain Eden, at Islay ; Samarang,
28, Captain C. Paget, at Guyaquil. The Samarang was ap-
pointed to leave the station for England on the Ist of October,
when she will be relieved by the North Star, 28, Capt. Vernon
Harcourt. The Dublin left the Pacific ( Coquimbo) on the
11th of June, and arrived at Rio on the 20th July, in thirty-
nine days. She brought round from Valparaiso the murderers
and accessaries of the first English party who took possession
of the Falkland Islands, they having delivered themselves up
to Governor (Lieutenant) Smith, whose party was in quiet
possession of the Island. There was no reason to apprehend
any similar surprise ; but the island would shortly become of
that convenient resort which was originally contemplated.
The Sparrowhawk, 18, Capt. Pearson, left Rio on the Bth of
July, to relieve the Rapid there ; the Snake, 18, Capt. Robert-
son, sailed on the same day for the northern ports of Brazil ;
the Satellite, 18, Capt. R. Smart, K. H., was to leave Rio on the
27th July for the Pacific ,with the account of the Commander-
in-Chief's ( Sir M. Seymour) death. His Majesty's ship the
Spartiate, 74, Captain Tait, was left at Rio. The Dublin left
Rio on the 25th July, and having had a passage of forty-four
days to Spithead, and landed her treasure, she sailed on
Thursday for Plymouth, to be paid off.
The Dublin brought passengers—Mr. and Mrs. Robins,
from Lima; Mr. H. M'Cullock, late of Lima; Dr. Stevens,
and the Boatswain of the Sparrowhawk ; Mr. Palmer, late
mate of the Blonde; and fourteen invalids from the squadron.
The only ship she spoke was in lat. 40, long. 32. 44, August
30, the Cabinet, out 35 days, bound to Boston.

manthus ; Columbine, 18, Commander W. Henderson, for

diterranean ; Algerine, 10, Lieutenant Stovin, for the Cape
of Good Hope ; and the Jupiter, Mr. R. Easto, Commander,
for Dublin, with the detachments mentioned last week. The
Castor, 36, Lord John Hay, is ordered to the north coast of
Spain. The Lords of the Admiralty (who arrived on Satur-
day in the Firebrand) are pursuing their inquiries with zeal
and diligence, their object evidently being to put every branch
of that characteristic arm of our strength, the naval service,
upon the most respectable and efficient foundation, with the
least possible expense to the public, carefully avoiding any act
of injustice, or even unkindness, to meritorious servants in
their pursuit.
