NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 9.—On Tuesday, the Jaseur,
18, Captain Edward Handfield, arrived from the
South American station, to be paid off, having been
nearly four years in commission. The Jaseur, just
previous to her departure from Rio Janeiro, traced
the coasts down from St. Blas round Cape Horn to
Rio Janeiro, and had very line weather, having run
24,000 miles without meeting a gale of wind. The
Jaseur left Rio on the Gth of December, and brought
specie for British merchants, estimated to amount
to 892,548 dollars at Rio. The following extract
from our Correspondent's letter furnishes the latest
intelligence from that quarter :
" RIO JANEIRO, DEo. 6.—The Zephyr packet is
hourly expected to arrive here from the River Plate,
with some new proposals for peace between the con-
tending parties for the possession of the Banda Ori-
ental. If the Brazilians should obtain their object,
they will not be permitted to hold possession long;
the moment the Buenos Ayreans and Monte
Videans can raise the sinews of war, they wilt
return to the combat—for it must be their po-
verty, not their will, that could induce them to
consent to give up one inch of that territory.
The want of money is almost equally felt here; no-
thing but paper money can be obtained, and that is
at a depreciation of 40 per cent., nod Exchange on
London at. 32 per Milrea note. We hear that dis-
turbances have taken place at Bahia, in consequence
of the scarcity of specie, the local copper currency
there being refused; shops were shut, and all busi-
ness was at a stand. The Emperor's reinforcements
continne to arrive—two transports, with German
soldiers, for body guard, arrived on the 4th
inst.; and swarms of Irishmen and women, seduced,
as they say, by Colonel C—, from Ireland, are
wandering about the streets, inveighing against the
Colonel for having imposed on them, declaring that
they are starving, and praying to be taken on board
English men-of-war. The Buenos Ayreau Admiral
Brown has been lately cruising off Rio six weeks;
and Captain Faconnier, in a Brazilian brig, is now
cruising off, having just taken a vessel (a launch),
with supplies, going from town to Raga Island, and
cut out a coaster, from under Santa Cruz. The
Brazilian corvette Masco, and brig Independencia
Morcea, were lately lost in Patagonia Bay, at the
entrance of the River Plate, and 175 souls perished.
" The Ganges (flag-ship) will sail on the 15th
inst. to relieve the Thetis, at Monte Video ; the
Forte, for Bahia and Pernambuco, and on her re-
turn to Rio, will replenish, and relieve the Gauges.
The Heron is to remain here until relieved by the
Thetis. The Volage is expected to leave Peru next
month, for Rio and England. The Lady Welling-
ton ttanspott, with condemned stores and invalids
from the Squadron, will sail for England about the
10th instant. The Orestes transport is discharging
her cargo of provisions here ; she will go round the
Horn."

The Jaseur brought for the Naval Museum at
Haslar Hospital, from lir. John Hamett, Surgeon
of his Majesty's ship Volage, the bodies of an abo-
riginal Peruvian female and child, which the Doctor
discovered in a desolate spot near the desert of
Arica. The place is known to have been disused
as a burying-ground as far back as the first landing of
the Spaniards in Peru. The bodies are described as
being in a high state of preservation, with the co-
vered dresses in which they were originally interred.
The Jaseur sailed yesterday, for Plymouth, to be
paid off.

Letters from Malta, dated January 4, state that
the Cambrian had been relieved by the Isis, and was
to come home immediately ; the Isis had gone to
the Isle of Grabusa (near Candia), to destroy a horde
of pirates. The Philomel had been sent to Alexan-
dria, with two vessels under convoy, and was also
instructed to renew every kind of friendly inter-
course with the Pacha of Egypt.
This morning the Revenge, 78, Captain N.
Thompson, sailed for Lisbon, to take troops thence
to Malta; and the Melville, i 4, Captain Henry Hill,
for Lisbon, to bring troops to England. The trans-
ports, Active (Lieutenant S. P. Pritchard), Chris-
topher, Lotus, and Alexander, also sailed on the
same service; and the Amphitrite, Lieutenant Ward,
for Plymouth, to take a division of the 60th Regi-
ment to Cork ; and the William Harris, Lieutenant
Stevens, with stores for Ascension.

On Saturday afternoon much curiosity was
excited in Millbank-street, Westminster, and thence to the
new palace building in St. James's-park, by the appear-
ance of a double-bodied and strongly constructed waggon,
drawn by a team of no fewer than twenty-three horses,
conveyiug one block of marble. It appeared to he about
22 or 23 feet long, between 5 and 6 feet wide, and about
23: feet thick; it was roughly squared. So great was the
burden, that the horses were halted to rest nearly every five
minutes. During the last week several blocks of marble
have left Freeman's Wharf for the palace, each drawn by
teams of 16 and 18 horses. These ponderous blocks of
marble are said to be for the magnificent archway that is
to front the new palate.
