NAUTICAL INTEL L ICENCE.

FALMOUTH, oar. is.
Sin DAVID BAIRD'S Moly—embarked on boaid
about 150 transports, rode out the violent storm of
Saturday last in Falmouth harbour, without either
of the vessels receiving the slightest damage. On
Sunday morning, the whole of this grand armament
sailed with a fine breeze at north-west, and were all
clear of the harbour in two or three hours, without
the slightest accident. At four in the afternoon they
passed the Manacle. We have paid particular atten-
tion to the winds since they sailed ; and have no
doubt that they reached the coast of Spain on Wed-
nesday or Thursday at farthest. The officers having
kit directions at Falmouth post-office to forward
their letters by the packets to Corunna, confirni our
opinion that they are destined for the North of Spain.
Their escort consisted of the Loire, 48, Capt. Scatom-
ar,no ; Arsclia, 48, Captain 'IRBY; and Champion, 24,
Captain CRAWFORD. The number of troops was
r 2,256, and consisted of the whole or parts of the
fonowingregiments, viz. 2500 of the Ist Foot Guards;
Ist, 14th, 20111, 23d, 26th, 27th, 31st, 43d, 51st,
60e1s, 76th, 80th, 81st, and 95th foot, with de-
tachments of Artillery, Waggon Train, Engineers
and Staff Corps, and small detachments of the 2d,
4th, 96, and 48th regiments. The Generals are,
tlif DAVID BAIRD, MANNIVGHANI, M4KRI•IZIE, CRAU-
roRD and WARDS.--We understand they are to be
followed by the 3d (or sth) the 7th, 10th, 14th
15th, and 16th Cavalry. The 7th sailed from Ports-
mouth on the sth instant, but put back again. At
the same hour that the above Expedition sailed from
Falmouth, three transports sailed from Plymouth to
join them. One of these transports got into Fal-
mouth on Tuesday, and another on Thursday, at an
hour when, it is more than probable, Sir DAVID
BAIRD was in Spain ;—but the third has not yet ar-
rived !
