NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 28.—This morning arrived
his Majesty's ship Warspite, 74, Captain Hon. R. S.
Dundas, in 49 days from Rio Janeiro (having left it
on the 9th ult.), bringing the highly satisfactory and
important information, that a preliminary treaty of
peace had been concluded between the Brazilians
and Buenos Ayreans. Don J. Garcia, the Buenos
Ayrean Minister, who came up to Rio in an English
packet, with the treaty, for it to receive the 'ratifica-
tion of the Emperor, left that place again, with it
ratified, in his Majesty's brig Heron, Hon. Captain
W. F. Grey, on the 7th ult., for Buenos Ayres.
Both parties had exhausted all their resources in this
fruitless and expensive warfare. The event had
created the most lively sensations of joy at Rio, Par-
ticularly among the merchants, who were busied
shipping their goods, to resume commercial dealings
with the natives of the Rio de la Plata. The Bra-
zilian Government 'Paper had increased in value ten
per cent..
The Warspite left Sydney (New South Wales)
on' the 6th of January. She is the first line-of-1
battle ship that has ever circumnavigated the globe.
In crossing the 180th degree longitude east from
Greenwich, the day was, therefore, changed, and
put back ; the Week was made to consist of eight
days, having two Tuesdays in it. On the passage
from Port Jackson to Valparaiso, the Warspite went
through Cook's Straits, between the two islands of
New Zealand and Eaheinomawe and Poenanentoo.
These straits are not well surveyed, and the different
points are incorrectly laid down : the only chart of
them is by Captain Cook, in the Endeavour. The
conducting of a line-of-battle ship through such a
narrow passage (being only 11 miles. across, in one
place, and little known), with' a beating wind the
whole way, required not only great strength of nerve,
but a constant and vigilant 100k-out, together with
the unceasing operation of keeping the lead going.
With these precautions the Warspite beat through
in six days, without any accident.
On 'Wednesday the Southworth transport, Lieu-
tenant John Sanders, arrived from Quebec, in 27
days, with a company of Royal Artillery and inva-
lids, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
M`Gregor, and Ordnance stores: The Soutbworth
spoke the Alligator, 98, Captain Canning, about
eight miles from Quebec, having on board Lord Va-
lentin and Colonel Cockburn, who have been sent

to Upper Canada, to make arrangements forllocali-
zing 15,000 emigrants, to whom it is understood,
Government intends to offer the means of deporta-
tion, from the north of Ireland and western parts of
Scotland. At present there are thousands of Scotch
and Irish labourers who cannot find employment ;
and as most of them left their native country with
thoughtless Precipitation, they are utterly destitute
of every means of travelling to the Upper Provinces,
or into the United States, where alone labourers
have a chance of obtaining a subsistence. Their
condition is truly pitiable.
The arrival of the Russian squadron. under, Ad-
miral Sineavin, for the Mediteraneau, is daily ex-
pected. Accounts from Stockholm relate that a
violent storm had been experienced for three days,
which probably had injured some of the ships. The
Prince and Princess Lieven intend making a visit to
the squadron at Spithead. Apartments have been
provided for them at the George Inn.
The last letters received from the experimental
squadron are dated on the sth inst., when they had
been at sea six days. The result f their trials, up
to this period, was decidedly in favour of the supe-
rior sailing of the Columbine, in all points, that vessel
being the only one that bad shown any improve-
ment by the alterations made after the first cruise.
On the third day of trial, the Columbine gained a
complete victory, on a wind • they started at half-
past eight and concluded at 6. 30. P.M., when
the Challenger was five miles on the lee quarter of
the Columbine; Satellite right astern, 6i; Acorn,
7 or 8 ; Wolfe, 8 or 9 ; Sapphire, 6 or 7 ; Galatea,
6i ; Tyne, 10 or 11 ; Alert, 9or 10. The Acron,
Alert, and Tyne, are the worst.—Hampshire Te-
