NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.).
PORTSIWUTH, MAY 10. —The Joseph Green. trans-
port, Lieutenant Robinson, agent, arrived on Monday from
Malta, with returned stores and invalided soldier.i. She
left that island on the 13th of .March, in company with
the Onyx transport; Lieutenant'Deccetirdoux, ‘vhicll ves-
tlie Rifle-
sel is on her passage to England, with the remainder of
the Canibrian's creW. We learn little from this vessel,
beyond ,the, disposition of the squadron at the period she
left Malta. The Warspite, 74, was at Egina
man, Wolf, and Mosquita sloops of war were at Corfu ;
the Revenge was on the coast of the Morea; and the
Isis, with three bomb-vessels and two sloops:Of War, were
off the Island of ,Candia ; the Galatea and'Philpmel were
still at Egypt. The French Ambassador~ o the Sublime
Porte was on board L'Arinitle; 50, and was employed with
a small squadron 'of corvettes, giving
.protection to ships
of all countries traversing among the Greek Islands. The
flussian squadron Were nefiet refitted ; their ships were in
bad order; arid on board the flag-ship,. the Azoff, a con-
siderable degree of discontent prevailed, arising from the
mode in which Admiral Heyden had distributed the
Emperor'S medals for the . good conduct of the Russian
sailors in .the battle of Navarin. Tliis discontent amounted
to a mutiny of such a desperate character, that it was the
intention, of the disaffected to have blown up the ship ; the
plot was detected ishort time only previous to its intended
execution, by the information of one of the ringleaders.—
A Court Martial had been held, and nine of the mutineers
were condemned to death; to put which sentence into exe-
cution, the Azoff was about to proceed a short distance to
sea. It was understood Ibrahim Pacha had suspended ope-
rations against the Greeks in the Morea.
The Wellesley, 74, Captain F. Maitland, C.B. arrived
here on Monday, from Malta, which island she quitted on
the 7th of April. The Ocean, Dartmouth, Talbot, Rat-
tlesnake, Pelican, and Pelorus, with four Russian line-of-
battle ships, four frigates, and a Neapolitan schooner, were
lying there.—One el the Russian ships of the line, and one
large frigate,, had been surveyed and condemned; they will
probably be broken up. The Wellesley, it is supposed, will
return to the Mediterranean, to relieve the Warspite, '74,
the latter's period of service having nearly expired.
Nearly the whole crew of his Majesty's late frigate Cam-
brian, have arrived at Plymouth, in the Ariadne, 38, Cap-
tain Davies, C.B. ; Gannet, 18, Hon. Captain Edwardes ;
and Wellesley, 74, Captain F. Maitland, C.B. The loss
of the Cambrian was occasioned by the Isis frigate striking
her on her quarter, while she was in stays; the conse-
quence of which was, she was thrown up in the wind,
and payed off on the oppOsite tack to that on which it was
necessary she should have done. This accident, in a nar-
row channel, was fatal ; for, from having no way through
the water, she could not again be tacked, and in a.
few minutes she fell broadside-to, on the reef of rocks,
at a moment when a considerable swell was setting
into the harbour of Carabusa, when she bilged, and
very soon after struck. The Greeks; fortunately, offered
no molestation, or, several lives must have been lest,
as, the wreck was completely exposed to the fire of
the inaccessible fortress of Carabusa, situated about '7OO
feet 'above the :water. ThiS fort the Greek Renegadoes,
amounting' nearly to 4,000 men, had well provisioned
and furnished with ammunition, and contained a vast deal
of plunder ; they refused to give up possession of the fort
to Sir Thomas Staines, without an order from the Provi-
,
sional Government; their vessels were however abandoned,
and Were deatroyed.by, the :fire. of the Squadron, aided by
their tioat4 Without 'the' smallest opposition It was in
-corning out 'from this scene
,Of devastation that the Cam-
-brian was lost. The fort was anhaeOnently given AP to
Captain Parker, of the Warspite, by an order from Count
Cape d'lstria.
The Spartiate, 74, Capt. F. Warren, with the flag of
Vice-Admiral Lord Aurelius Beauclerk, K.C.8., may be
hourly expected from Llshon, as well as the Challenger,
28, Capt:' Fitzclarenee. Part--of -the garrisOn of. Fort
St. Julian; at the entrance of the Tagus, was embarked
on board the squadron on the 26th ult. ; the remainder
were to give up the fort to the 'Portuguese troops on the
'2Bth. The squadron was to quit that country on the Ist
of May, leaving the Pyramus, 36, Capt. Sartorious, at
the disposal of our Ambassador, Sir F..Lareb.
The Icarus, 10, Commander Best, went out
,of harbour
to-day. This,vessel, which is of a beautiful model, was
recently constructed by the Students of Naval Architec-
ture, in this Dock-yard, and was afloat, for the first time
only a few weeks since.
The Swedish squadron of one frigate, three sloops, and
a schooner, under the command of AdmiralNordenskiold,
sailed on a mission to all the 'Barbary States, on Thursday
morning; during the stay of the squadron at this port
they bought considerable supplies of stores, particularly
chain cables.

' By the American brig Owhyhee, that arrived at Canton
on the 14th of November last, we learn that the Blossom
sloop of war, Captain Beechey, had, in her second attempt
to make a North East passage to Europe, through
Behring's Straits, penetrated further than any former• ship.
She had passed to the eastward of Kotzebue's Sound, and
had reached to within 180 miles of Melville Island, where
Captain Parry wintered in his first voyage. The Russians
are maintaining their force on the North West Ceast of
America : they have a garrison of 400 men at Shettikay,
in Norfolk Sound.

The ship Albinia, Voules, Master, and the skip Law-
ling, both from Demerara, arrived at Spithead this even-
ing; they have landed at the Fountain Inn, Major Stables,
and Mr. and Mrs. Musgrave and family, as passengers.
The Orestes sloop of war, Capt. J. Reynolds, recently
fitted out at Chatham, anchored at Spithead on Thursday,
and proceeded yesterday morning to the Cork station.
Ships at Spithead—.Wellesley, Icarus. In the Har-
bour—Victory, Melville.
The Windsor Castle, 74 gnus, will be paid off on Thurs-
day next, and re-commissioned as a guard-ship, at Ply-
mouth, by the Hon. Capt. Bouverie.
Lieut. Meredith, late of the Vigilant, is promoted to the
rank of Commander ; Lieut. G. Beaufoy is appointed to
the Samarang ; Lieut. C. Jones (A) to the Vigilant cutter.
We are extremely glad to learn that the King has been
graciously pleased to direct that Lieut. Belson be restored
to his rank in his Majesty's Navy.
The Lord High Adiniralhas ordered that Lieutenant
flalloran's plan, for fitting a spring for the use of a beat's
gun; be adopted in all ships' launches that may be fitted for
foreign service.
Measures are to be taken to increase our naval force
•
in sixth-rates, sloops, and brigs. Orders have been -re.-
eeived at this Dock:yard, to withdraw a portion of the
shipwrights, 'at
.present employed on other services, to cut
frames for vessels of this description, in order that the
timbers might be well seasoned and prepared, previous to
their being set 'T. They will be proceeded with as build-
ing slips become vacant.
Lord Yarborough, with a party,Of friends, sailed on
Thursday afternoon in his y.acht, the. Falcon, for Malta, on
a visit to his. Lordship's son, who is a Midshipman in the
Dartmouth frigate." The yacht is not expected to return
before August.
