NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 28.—Accounts are re'
ceired from Malta to the 12th ult. Sir Pulteney
Malcolm, with a squadron of five sail of the line, A
frigate, and some smaller vessels, sailed on the 30th
January for Naples, and was expected to return to
Malta about the 19th ult. The Royal Marines of
the squadron, for the last three months, had WO
regularly brigaded on shore twice a week. On the
4th ult. the Wellesley arrived from Zante. Shd
met the Ocean at sea, on her voyage to Navitrid
and Smyrna, to relieve the Isis at the latter place.
The Alacrity, Captain Nias, bad just arrived from
Egina and Zante, having on board the master and
three me►► of a piratical vessel, which she destroyed
near Cassandro, it the Gulf of Salonica. She had
brought several witnesses to prove the delinquency
of the pirates, from one of the vessels they had
robbed.

The Philomel sloop of war was at Naples on the
6th instant, from whence she would proceed to
Malta and then to England. The squadron under
Sir Pulteney Malcolm had met with very bad wee'
ther, and, what is very extraordinary for that
mate, had experienced heavy falls of hail and sleet,
and the frost was so severe as to form a considerable
quantity of ice on the decks and rigging.
The Pallas, 42, Captain Fitzelarence, is to pro;
ceed to India, with General the Earl of Dalhous►e,
who is appointed to succeed Lord Cotnbermere,
Commander-in-Chief of the Forces.
