PORTSMOUTII, DEC. 20.—Extract of a letter from
an Officer, dated his Majesty's ship Heron, Rio de'
.Janeiro, October 7, 1828
There is a lirge French squadron hero, consist-
ing of a line-of-battle ship, without a poop, frigate
sterned, two rouncl:sterned brigs, and a corvette,
besides several vessels of the old build. They are
taking great pains with their ships, and sre improv-
ing them very much. They appear to be excellently
found in stores, have a variety of Plans and new in-
ventions on trial, which succeed excellently, in
harbour at all events, whatever their practice may
be at sea. They will he a much more formidable
enemy than formerly. Practical seamanship appears
still to be their weak point, but I fear we are de-
creasing while they increase in that quality; not
that I consider their officers are so much actually at
sea as ours, but I believe they have more science,
and are more assiduous in acquiring a knowledge of
their profession than most of the young ones in our
service. Some of the privateers and slave vessels
on this coast are very fine vessels ; they are mostly
American built, very deep, and very sharp, the ex-
treme breadth being above the water line, the bows
projecting above, quarters wide and flat, and the
masts raking very much, both in brigs and schooners.
Two large' frigates, 1700 tons, are in the Brazilian
service, built at Baltimore; their masts rake like
schooners, and they sail very fast, but of their qua-
lities as sea-boats I know nothing. There is an
American corvette on this station, round-sterned,
800 tons, a fast sailer, mounts 24 guns."

• ,
The Russian squadron, which stilled from this port
for Malta on 2d.inst., consisting of the Grand Duke
Michael, of 82 pins and 750 men; the Princess
Lovitch frigate, of 50 guns, Captain Bolorossky ;
the brig Telamaque, Captain Zamantsky; and the
brig Ulysses, Capt. Krapatoff, 20 guns each; owing to
stress-of weather, were driven back into the Bristcl
Channel, where they also encountered a very severe
gale. , The frigate and two brigs reached King-road
on Thursday se'nnight, with the loss of some of
their anchors, cables, and part of their provisions.
The lint-of-bat►le ship parted from between the isles
of Scilly and Lundy.
The Pallas, 46, Captain Fitzelarence, with sealed
orders, and Challenger, 28, Captain Fremantle, for
the Cape of Good Hope, and the New Settlemeat
in the Swan'lliver, sailed on Sunday._

The Talbot, 28, Caettun Hon. F. Spencer, C. 8.,
and Alligator, 28, Commander Newell (acting), were
paid off this morning : the latter to be re-commis.
sioned, and commanded by Capt. Charles Yorke.

The Weymouth store-ship, W. Miller, master
with convicts, for Bermuda, which sailed hence on
Sunday-, pnt into Plymouth on Tuesday, from con-
trary winds.
The Sir Charles Forbes sailed from Cork on the
14th, for Jamaica, with detachments of the 91st and
84th Regiments.
The Amity transport, Lieutenant Lester, Agent,
arrived at Cove on the 15th, to embark detachments
of the 33d and 77th Regiments for Gibraltar. She
had lot into Milford during the heavy gales.
The Thomas, Richardson, Master, is to convey to
Barbadoes a detachment of the 86th Regt.
Lieutenant Purcell, in the Snipe cutter, tender to
the Victory, on Monday morning, captured, off
Shoreham, the lugger, Two Partners, of that place,
with a tub-boat, five men, and 97 casks of spirits.
The Lord Melville, xiith convicts for Sydney,
was obliged to return to Spithead yesterday, to wait
for moderate weather.

The Edward, Gilbert, master, has received on
board at Cove, 177 female convicts, and i 4 chil-
dren of convicts', for New South Wales, under the
medical care and superintendence of Dr. Watts.
Seven free women and sixteen children have also
embarked as passengers.
The ship Pomona, J. Miller, master, from Gree-
nock to Jamaica, with a general cargo, has _been
towed into Core by the Waterloo, steamer, of
Cove. The Pomona had lost her fore and main
masts, and was in other respects so much damaged,
as to be a mere wreck, when the steamer got hold
of her. There were several female passengers on
board ; three men were washed overboard, and three
wounded by the heavy sea. The Pike had sent a
boat to her assistance, as soon as the crew were
about to abandon het'.

The Hibernia, Rogers, master, from London, has
arrived at Cove, to embark troops for Jamaica. The

of them has been four, and the remainder two years,

and express themselves in terms of the warmest gra-
titude for the liberality they have experienced from
the Government and people of this country. The
whole of them are attached to the household of
Ibrahim, son of the Viceroy of Egypt, and will
doubtless, on their return to Egypt, occupy distin-
guished situations. We learn an Armenian youth
has been under instruction ten years in this country,
at the expence of the Pacha of Egypt, as a re,va"l
for services rendered by his father, thouglra Chris-
tian—thus exhibiting a spirit of liberality which
others would do well to imitate. This manifesta-
tion of enlarged sentiments on the part oldie Pacha

of Egypt corresponds with what we Lave before
learnt of his character from our offieers tecontly at
Alexandria, as well as from individuals %rho have
travelled through parts of that, interesting country.

THE LEEDS PROTEST Apnßnss.---This
precious document, meant to console the Brunewickers
their late defeat, has been hawking about from door to
duor in the town of Leedf; and all the neighbouring villages
for the last fortnight, and is said by its promoters to have
obtained 12,000 signatures; oat of a population of 100,000
souls. There is scarcely a house, a workshop, factory, or
smithy, in the town, that has not been canvassed for signa-
tures to this address to his Majesty, of which we have de-
. menstrative proofs that many of the signatures have been
obtained under the most gross misrepresentations. Some
of the parchments appear as if they had been in the fire,
after having been previously rolled in the mud ; and
though the address is Anti-Catholic, the sign of the X cross
with " as witness my band," is often very conspicuous.
How many " Tom Longs " and " Bob Shorts" were affixed
to it at an office where this mode of signing petitions is in
vogu., we know not. Bin we should not wish for nu
limes better amusement than to see this address before his
Majesty, and to hear the observations of the King and his
Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington, upon it.--Leeds
Mercury. •
