NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 9.—The Lady Nugent, Cotgrave,
for Bombay; the Clyde, Munro; and Diadem, for Madras
and Bengal, are come in from the Downs, to embark pas-
sengers here. They will sail on Monday.
Sir Thomas Hardy has returned from his interview with
the Lord High Admiral, and is daily engaged in directing
the re-equipment of the Experimental Squadron. It has
been determined that all the ships shall proceed together in
two more cruizes. After having undergone such refitment
or alterations as the projectors may choose to direct, they
will proceed to sea, to ascertain the effects resulting there-
from. They will then return, to be stowed as for Foreign
Service, and proceed on their last cruise. If the ships
were fitted with Foreign stores, immediately upon the al-
terations made, and proceed to sea, it would be question-
able, on their return, whether the advantages or disadvan-
tages that might appear in either, were to be attributed to
the alterations or to the additional stores taken in. There-
fore, that the builders might have- every means afforded
them of eliciting the superiority of their several professed
principles, they are to be put into competition again under
these two different states. The Tyne having undergone
considerable alterations in her masts and yards, has returned
to Spithead, much improved in her appearance. The Chal-
lenger, Satellite, and Wolfe are refitting at Spithead. The
Sapphire, Acorn, and Columbine, are come into the har-
bour, for alterations. The Galatea (bearing Sir Thomas
Hardy's flag) is also come into harbour to be docked.'
Yesterday sailed the Hussar frigate, RearLAdmiral Sir
Charles Ogle, Bart., Captain E. Boxer, Commander Sir
Richard Grant, Knt. ; and the Manly brig, Lieutenant
Win. Field, for Halifax. _ . _

On Monday, the Weazle, 10, Captain J. B. Dundas,
went out of harbour, fitted for the Channel service (the
Plymouth station); on Wednesday, the Isis frigate, Capt.
Hugh Patton, sailed for, Chatham to be paid off; the Nie-
men, 28, Captain Simeon, came into this harbour to be
paid off; and the Bittern tender, Lieut. L. Morgan, re-
turned to Plymouth. Remain at Spithead--Pyramus,
Challenger, Tyne, Wolf, Satellite, and Weazle.—Hamp-
shire Telegraph.

His Majesty's ship Herald is expected here daily to em-
bark Mr. Lushington.
The number of vessels in ordinary at this port is as fol-
lows:—Twenty-one ships of the line—fifteen frigates—
eleven sloops, cutters, bombs, &c.—and seven hulks.
The San Josef,.l2o, Captain Bowder, was towed down
the harbour on Thursday by the Meteor steam-boat to have
her masts altered. She is to receive one hundred boys,
who are to be educated for his Majesty's Naval Service, and
when fit will be drafted into the ships in commission.

His Majesty's ship Victor, 18, Capt. Geo. Woollcombe,
put into the Shannon on the Qd instant in distress, having
met with a severe gale, in which she was obliged to cut
away her masts, and throw some of her guns overboard.
By the regulations of 1825, the warrant-officers of the
Navy must appear, when in full dress, with a cocked hat
and sword. There are about 200 of this class now in port.
