The coalition between TaVistock and Pyrn is. not of a nature to
do much for either of them. 'Mcqueen retches the split`Votes
of bOtb, and it is pretty firmly known, that the fears of each will
cause hundreds of votes to be lost. 'Mcqueen stands at the head
of the poll, far above his adversaries; and if ,there be not an
early arrangement betweeno tiihe,vetrwy,oemoilyd

fears will keep both very iow is numbers. The early resignation
of the weaker of the two is looked for daily, and, had there been a
second Alinisteriel Candidate, Tavietack and ''yin might have

vexatious ; no matter how small the prospect of atirregi, there.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PoRTSIIou Jutil 17.-This morning the Edward transport,.
Lieut. Burney, arrived from Sierra Leone, whence she sailed on
the 29th of March. The Brazen, 28, Captain Willett, was the
only ship of war there. Three slave vessels, she had captured,
were condemned to her. The Slaves had been put to immediate
work, as, by a new system, commenced by the late lamented
General Turner, and continued by -the present Acting Governor,
M.Cauli y, they are now taught at once to earn their own sub-
sistence. One of these prizes is 96 feet long, and 226 tons bur-
then. She is to be sent to England, under the name of " The Black
Beauty of Southampton." The Edward bad brought home the
Master and Mate of the ship Malta, of Liverpool, for trial, on
charge of Slaving. A prize, belonginf to the Athol, Which was
supposed to have been lost, had arrive( at Sierra Leone, haring
been 66 days on her passage from. Accra, during which she lost
75 slaves, part of her. cargo, and thcremainder, with the crew,
were in great distress for provisions. The Athol, on her passage
to the Cape of coi,a Hope, had captured a Brazilian vessel, from
Badagry to Bahia, with 175 slaves on board; hut, having taken
her in 5.20. South latitude, her Condemnation is doubtful. When
the Edward left the coast, Commodore Bullen, in the Owen Glen-
dower, Was to leeward; the Conflict and Leven were eurveyiK
St. Ann's Shoal ; the Swinger had gone to Gambia ; the Red-
wing and Esk were in the Bights. The Commissioners, who had
hitherto been on board the Brazen, were about to join Commodore
Britten, for the purpose of finishing, under his directions, thelahour
of their investigation, which, it was supposed, would clone about
August.
On Thursday, the Russian corvette Enterprise, commanded hr
Captain Kotzebue, arrived here, after three years' absence, during,.
which period she has been employed in exploring the coast of
North America, adjacent to the Russian Settlements, the Aleatii
thin Archipelago, the Coast of Kamtachatka, and the See of
Oehoisk, taking alio the range of the. South Sea Islands, visiting
the Sandwich Island of Owyhee, since the burial of the King and
Queen, by Lord Byron. That Island was tranquil and advani.fily
in prosperity. The natives expressed themselves much grab
with the attention bestowed on the remains of their late Kin

Queen. The Enterprise touched at Manilla,
quitted on the 23d of January, when the Spanish Settlers

abandoned the idea of separating from the mother countrg ant
Spein, from which a new Governor had recently arrived, with s
reinforcement of European troops. She touched at St. Helenas
the 19th of for water, on
about ten days, and then return to St. Petersburgh.
