NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 29.—The Prince Regent transport,
Lieut. •Scryrngour, R.N., agent, arrived on Thursday, in
twenty days, from Halifax, with a division of the 96th •llegi-
ment, under the command of Major Cumberland, and invalids.
The 'Parmelia transport, Lieut. Davidson, agent, was to sail
for England, with the remainder of the 96th, on the 11th inst.
The Prince Regent left at Halifax his Majesty's ships Presi-
dent, 'Forte, Gannet, and Briseis packet.' The President was
expected to sail about the 10th inst. for Quebec, with Vice.
Admiral Sir George Cockburn and family, accompanied by
the Forte, Commodore Pell. The crew of this ship bad
lately suffered from yellow fever : when she arrived at Ha-
lifax there were sixty cases, but they quickly diminished, and
very few proved fatal. Lieut. Brodhead had a severe attack,
but was gradually recovering. The Commodore, on the ap-
pearance of the fever on board, displayed a noble feeling of
disinterested generosity_ The ship was at Vera Cruz, about
to convey specie to Jamaica, which would have given him a
large freight, but preferring to avail himself of the Admiral's
permission to proceed to the northward, he immediately
abandoned the freight, and sailed to Halifax, by which there
can be no doubt he saved many valuable lives, at a consider-
able pecuniary sacrifice on Isis part. He sent orders to Ja-
maica. for some other vessel to take the freight. Commander
Sweeney, late of the Serpent, having been superseded, re-
turned to the President, and Actit.g Commander Currie re-
__.

turned (the fifth time) to his forraer-rank. Sir George Cock-
burn proposed sending his despatches by the Briscis, which ves-
sel was expected to leave about the 11th or 12th inst. Elali-
fax was perfectly health when the Prince Regent left, but the
inhabitahts feared a return of the cholera, which made its ap.
pearance last year about this time.
By letters received from his Majesty's ship Serpent, dated
on the 12th ult., at llavannah, we learn that on her passage
from Jamaica to Nassau, New Providence, on the 29th Juno,
she fell in with, and after a spirited chase captured, the Spa-
nish schooner Sita, having on board 394 slaves, with 32 crew
and passengers, between Capo Maizie, the east part of Cuba,
and Great Image, ar.d carried her into Havant-LA ; she was
out only thirty-nine days from the coast of Africa, and had only
lost six slaves.
