NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(Frnm the Hampshire Telegraph. )
Powrsmot:Tß, MAY 30.—Thc Sapphire, 28, Captain Row-
ley, sailed on Thurday for Malta, touching at Falmouth for a
mail. Mr. Saunders, Consul, and Captain Gibson, Royal
Marine Artillery, &c., take a passage to Malta in this ship.
We learn from an officer who arrived from Alexandria a few
days since that the fleet of the Paella of Egypt mishits of
seven sail of the line, all large two-decked ships, with a com-
plete tier of guns on their spar decks; six frigates, with
complete tier of guns on their spar decks; six corvettes,
and six brigs. Three ships of the line and a frigate are
building, one of them is planked up, and the others are in
frame. With the exception of those building, the whole
had proceeded to Candia, where they were to rendezvous,
in order to escape the plague. His naval force bas lately
been reinforced by a steam-ship of the largest size, and pro-
pelled by engines of unrivalled excellence and power.
The Tweed, 20 guns, Commander T. Maitland, and the
Clio, 18. Commander W. Richardson, will go out of har-
bour in about ten days.
A Commissariat and Military Madical Establishment is or-
dered to be formed in New South Wales, the expense of
which will of course be borne by the revenues of the colony,
which are in so flourishing a state that the last advices left
167,0001. in the colonial chest, and which the Governor was
about to lend to the private banks, at interest, for the advan-
tage of commercial discounts.
In Harbour. Victory, Royal George, Excellent, Magi-
cienne, Tweed, Clio, and Speedy.
At Spithead.—Pique. _ _

We have accounts from Malta of the Bth of May ; tho fol-
lowing is from our correspondent :-

" The British men-of-war lying here are the Caledonia,
Canopus, Malabar, Edinburgh, Revenge, Thunderer, Ver-
non, Endymion, Jaseur, Hind, Orestes, Medea, Confiance,
Blazer, and Alban; the latter arrived on the 2d instant from
Naples, with the Hon. Lady Ponsonby and family.
" The Childers sailed from Malta on the 22d of April for
the Dardanelles, with despatches for the British Ambassador
at Constantinople ; the Favourite is at Tripoli, for which port
she left Malta on the 12th of April; the Mastiff sailed from
Malta for Syria 12th April ; the Portland -is at Salamis, for
mhich port she left Malta on 25th April • Scout is at Gibral-
tar, for which place she left Malta April-13th, to relieve the
Jaseur; Tribune is at Smyrna; Tyne is at Corfu, and the
Volage at Constantinople.
" The Admiral, in the Caledonia, with the Canopus, Ed-
inburgh, Malabar, Revenge, Thunderer, Vernon, Orestes;
Hind, and Medea, proceed to Salamis, from Malta, on the
12th of May, to assist at the corcnoation of King Otho, 'which
will take place early in June. The Alban will follow, with
the London mail by the May packet. The Endymion and
Jaseur will remain at Malta, and one of them is to escort a
Russian brig, now at Malta, infected with the plague, to
Leghorn, where the cargo is deliverable. The Tyne is daily
expected at Malta, with Major-General Sir Alex-ander Wood-
ford, appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Gibraltar.
" The Maitland transport only arrived at Malta on the 4th
April, from Portsmouth—out 47 days. She touched at
Gibraltar, but had no other communication than the landing
of passengers.
The Neapolitan steamer Real Ferdinand° left Malta for
Sicily and Naples on the 12th of Aprii, returned on the 3d of
May, and left again on the 7th. The Tripoline cutter of war
Meshoud arrived at Malta from Tripoli on the Bth, and re-
turned on the 11th of April. The Austrian brig of war Mon
tecuccoli arrived at Malta from Athens on the 18th of April,
and sailed for _Tunis on the 21st. The French Corvette Di-
ligentie arrived at Malta from Tripoli on the 26th of April,
and returned on the 3d of May.
" The Russian brig Sofia Elina, has arrived from Alexan-
dria, in fourteen days, with 300 bales of cotton, cloth, gums,
and opium. She has brought the plague, having lost three of
her crew by that disorder, the last of whom died as she made
the island, after a few hours' illness ;- a fourth recovering.
She is in the quarantine harbour, and every precaution is dou-
bled to prevent contagion, and military centries are placed
as an additional security.

" The plague was on the decrease at Alexandria on the 2d
of May, but at Cairo its ravages at the close of April were
terrific, carrying off from 1,700 to 2,000 wer diem. It has
also made its appearance at Mytelene and Janina, and cases
still exist at Constantinople. . .

" A vast deal has beet; done in this island, so as to give the
residents something like a voice in the councils of the island.
A council has been raised to assist the Governor, by directiot s
ef the Home Government, to consist of the General com-
manding the troops. the Chief Justice, the Bishop, the Chief
Secretary, two of the ellief landholders or merchants, being
island born, and one merchant British born ; they are be
addressed by the adjunctive style of Honourable. The excise
duties have been merged into the customs. All restrictions
against the planting of trees have been removed, and encou-
ragements are given to plant trees, particularly mulberry.
The licenses on shops, carts, and aliens, are abelished, and the
in-:port duties on provisions, wood, metals, dying stuffs, and
several other articles are entirely removed.

" We have received Greek papers, the Soar, to the 9th
instant ; they are totally destitute of interest. 'The troubles
cc Messcnia have been checked, it i 3 hoped, by the defeat of
the baud of Cordovonnissio, and appearances promised a
speedy return to tranquillity ia the Pcloponnessus. The ma•
jority of King Otho, which his Majesty wilt attain in the month
of June next, was looked forward to with much anxiety and
great expectation.

rived at Corfu, by way of Ancona, on the 2.5. h April, and im-
