SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

STEEPLE CHACE AT MARKET HARBOROUGH.
The long pending match between Mr. Ostialdeston's
Pilot, and Captain Ross's Polecat, tm,k place to-day,
Saturday. The terms of the match were to go four miles
across the country. Captain Ross to ride 13 stone, 7 lbs.,
and Mr. Osbaldeston 12 stone ; in consideration of this
difference of weight, Mr. Osbaldeston betted 5001. to
2001. Mr. Hungerford, who was umpire, named the
Blue Covert as the starting.post,and the winning post was
fixed near a farm house called the Hermitage. About
eleven o'clock, every thing being in readiness, the horses
were brought to the post apparently in the best possible
condition, and their gallant owners were in the highest
spirits. At the word off, they started at a terrific pace,
Mr. Oshaldeston taking the lead, but closely followed by
the Captain ; the run was admirably contested to the
Lottand Brook; Pilot cleared it in fine style; the mare
jumped into it, but was out in an instant. On ascending
the hill to Lotland Wood, it was seen that the difference of
weight was b2ginning to tell against the mare, as she lost
about a hundred yards, but she rallied in an astonishing
manner afro getting to the top of the hill. T* Captain
made a desperate push dowil the hill, and gainer rapidly
on Pilot, and it was again finely contested until the two
last fields, which were very severe, being up bill all the
way to the winning post ; and after a very admirable race
Pilot won by about eighty yards. Both hors's cleared
the numerous leaps in fine style, and the steady, determined
manner of riding of both gentlemen was much and justly
admired. There was an immense concourse of sportsmen
present, who immediately after joined Mr. Osba'deston's
crack park of hounds at Waterloo Gorse, and had a very
good day's sport.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECE3IBER 7, 1829

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PonTsmou'ru, DEC. s.—The Galatea, 42 gun,
Captain C. Napier, C. 13,, arrived yesterday from
the Havannah, in twenty,,nine days, bringing hone
about 150,000 dollars on private accomr. The
Galatea, since her departure from Spithead (twenty-
two weeks since), has traversed 15,000 miles, prin-
cipally in search of pirates, but without effect. She
visited Madeira, Teneriffe, four .of the Cape Verd
Islands; and after lauding Commissioner A !corigh
and family at Jamaica, she proceeded to the Spanish
Main for treasure, the great bulk of which, however,
had previously been embarked in the IF.spierile, 18
guns, Commander Elliott, which ship, with half a
million of dollars on board, may be expected home
in about a week. The Galatea boarded several
slave vessels, which, it is- clearly ascertained, are in
the constant practice of committing acts of piracy,
whenever they meet with strength inferior to their
own. An American - ship, which the Galatea►
boarded, bound from Buenos Ayres to the Cape (le
retds, had been plundered, by a vessel full of
slaves, of a number of valuables- and some provi-
sions ; and a Captain of a large slaver unblushingly
told our officers, that if he at any time should fall in
with a smaller slaver loaded, he should take his slaves
from him, with whatever else answered his pur-
pose, and carry them to the Havannah. - This
vessel was lying at ( ;ape Verds, waiting until a cargo
of slaves should be collected for h►er in one of the
African rivers near the Line, as she had been -to the
coast arid left her orders to that effect. It was for-
tunate the Galatea was sent to the Spanish Main,
otherwise not any British ship would have been in
that quarter to protect our merchants' property,
during the confusion consequent upon the Royalist
Invasion. It appears that the expedition was
wholly planned by General Barradas, who was sent
out by Ferdinand, and who imagined that, in the
present divided state of parties in the new Republics,
the presence of an armed force would collect toge-
ther all theitoyalists and old Spaniards. Commo-
dore La Borde, however, and the Authorities of
Cuba, were.- averse to the measure, believing that
the invasion would concentrate the Republican
energies—an apprehension which the result has
proved to have been well grounded ; for no sooner
did General Santa_ Anna hear of the landing of Bar-
radas at Tampico, than he issued his orders for all t
troops to move in that direction. Santa Anna him-
self,
with a large force, embarked in open boats, and
gallantly endured a dangerous voyage. He succeeded
in landing near Tampico, and in a very short time
found himself at the head of 8,000 or 10,000 well
armed men, of all colours, castes,and countries, With
these he encircled the invaders. In a sortie by Bar-
radas, made in the quarter where Santa Anna was
posted, the Mexicans were defeated, and Santa
Anna was taken prisoner. Barradas, however, gave
him up. Subsequently the Mexicans attacked a for-
tress called the Barof Tampico, in a most gallant man-
ner, and were seriously repulsed by the bravery of the
Spaniards. The gallantry displayed on both sides was
very great, but in a few hours afterwards Barradas
was compelled to offer terms of capitulation, beimg in
want of provisions, and having lost 1,200 of his
men by dysentery and fever. When the Galatea
left the coast, on the 12th October, the ma!it body
of the. Spaniards still remained, waiting for trans-
ports from Cuba, which left the Havannah about the
Ist of November, for the purpose of taking them
on board. Many of the officers,--and small parties
of,. the men, had got away in coasting craft and
American vessels. Commodore La Borde landed
this army from his squadron, which consists of
two line-of-battle ships, two frigates, two brigs, and
a schooner, in most excellent order ; but from the
dangerous nature of the coast, he was compelled to
return. Indeed his remaining there would only have
endangered his ships, and his rendering supplies to
Barradas would have been very problematical. Had
this expedition gone to Vera Cr►►z, the Castle of
Ulloa must have fallen immediately, as it did not
contain one day's provisions, and the Mexican line
of battle ship, the San Juan, was unprepared in
the harbour. The Mexicans are divided into two
parties, for neither of which has Santa Anna de-
clared himself; but it was expected he would be of-
fered the Presidentship. They have an army of
35,000 men, and a large force of desultory cavalry.
Vera Cruz was very healthy. A ►magnificent enter-
tainment was given by the authorities to the suc-
cessful General, on his return to Vera Cruz (who
has had the sash of a Lieutenant-General awarded
to him), at which Captain Napier and his Officers
were present. It comprised a sumptuous dinner of
four courses ; after which the guests were ushered
into a cool room, where a most splendid dessert was
laid out. This was followed by coffee, champagne,
and liqueurs, arid subsequently by a ball and
supper. Speeches, compliments, and bumpers,
were the order of the day, and the Mexicans,
at the conclusion, were perfect adepts in the
English mode of cheering after toasts. General
Santa Anna, and a party of the principal Mexicans,
dined on board the Galatea, arid were received with
much ceremony. It was imagined at Jamaica that
Barradas would have been successful in his efforts.
Our officers testify that the Spanish" troops at Cuba
were in the best state of discipline ; but complain
that not any sort of courtesy or attention is shown
to British Officers or British subjects. Several
slave vessels were fitting out there. The Arachne
sloop of war had been sickly, and had lost her First
Lieutenant (Rivett), her Master (Mr. Retallick),
and the Gunner. A French frigate had also lost
between forty and fifty men, and was obliged to leave
the coast.

We have as yet no advices of the return of any
of our line-of•battle ships from the Mediterranean;
on the contrary, we are now informed that none will
return to England for the present. The foreign
prints have stated the Russian Admiral demanded
of Sir Pulteney Malcolm the reason of his being
reinforced by the Britannia, Gloucester, and Mel-
ville. This assertion was conceived to be incorrect.
As such a question must be purely diplomatic, it is
not probable that Count Ileyden would hare asked
Sir Pulteney Malcolm for any explanation upon the
subject. We understand, however, the Dartmouth
frigate, and Pelican, Wolfe, and Cordelia sloops, are
ordered to England.
His Majesty's sloop Rapid, 10, Commander
Swinburn, reached Plymouth, from this port, yes-
terday se'nnight, and having remained an hour or
two in the Sound, she sailed again for the Medi-
tetranean.

The Vigilant revenue cutter, Captain Gowland,
captured on the Ist instant, otf the North Foreland,
a smuggling lugger, belonging to Deal, with all her
crew, and 140 tubs of spirits of brandy and gin.
Notwithstanding the vigilance of the Coast Blockade
on the Kent coast, the smugglers are active in
evading it—a fact proved by the seizures that are
continually made by the revenue cutters.
Passed by, on Sunday, the Everthorpe, Thomas,
for Jamaica. Arrived, on Monday, the Beaver,
Franci3co, from New York, bound to Hamburg, be-
ing leaky, and with loss of sails, rigging, bulwarks,
&ie.; she sailed this afternoon ; also the Lonach,
Cotgrave, for Bombay, and sailed on Thursday for
her destination. Arrived on Wednesday, the Co-
lombia, Rossiter, for New York, and sailed the
same day ; also the Thetis, Burton, for Jamaica.—
Sailed, on Thursday, the Thomas Wallace, Pearson,
for Sierra Leone ; and the Camel, Ormston, for
Madeira.
