NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY 16.—Arrived, this morning,
the Arab transport, Lieut. J. Hyett, Agent, from
Ceylon, with a detachment of the 83d Regiment,
under the command of Colonel Kelly. She left the
Cape of Good Hope on the 4th, and passed St.
Helena on the 19th of March.

Extract of a letter from his Majesty's ship Jaseur,
dated Cape of Good Hope, January, 1829 :—" We
hove to for two hours off tke Island of Tristian
D'Acultha, where we found seven women, six men,
and fifteen children, upon it, all English. They
had been there twelve years, had built comfortable
houses, and had cows, pigs, and poultry, meat and-
vegetables. The soil produces spontaneously, and
such is the healthiness of this Rock, stuck in the
middle of the South Atlantic, and so many hundred
miles from its nearest land, that even the ills inciden-
tal to children are there unknown."
The Creole, Galloway, for Antwerp; the Re-
becca, Smith, for Quebec; the Fanny, Bandy, for
the Cape; the Hero of Matown, for Bombay; and
the American ship Paris, from Antwerp for St. An.
dero, have left Spithead.
APPOINTMENTS.—Lieutenant W. Ramsay to the
Athol ; Lieutenants Robert Inman and Thomas R.
Sullivan, and Mr. Thos. Harding, Purser, to the
Favourite.

The lion. Company's ships Scaleby Castle and
Thomas Grenville, both for China, passed down
Channel yesterday.
The Hon. Company's ship Macqueen, and the
free traders Lady Flora and Triumph, have passed
by this port from India during the week, for London;
as also the Anne, James, from Tobago; and the
Helen, Cobb, from New York, from which she
soiled on April 16.
The New York Packet ship Cambria, Captain
Griswold, and the Isabella, fi ee trader, from Bom-
bay, are hourly expected here to take in their pas-
sengers. The Neptune, Cumberledge, for Madeira,
Madras, and Bengal, is at Spithead.
The Norfolk, Greg►, has taken on board 200
male convicts from this port for Sydney, in New
South Wales.

The Atwick, Jefferies, for the Swan River, and
the Duke of Bedford, Bower, for Madras, are ex-
pected in a few days at Spithead, to embwk their
passengers.

DeVONPORT, Ma 16.—Our Naval Commander=
in-Chief, Admiral Earl Northesk, at nick his flag on
Tharsday, on board the Britannia, and left the same
day for his seat, Rosehill, in Hampshire, on leave of
absence for a month. The command of this port
has consequently devolved on Captain J. F. Devon-
shire, (1801) as senior Captain, who hoisted his
broad pendant at sunset the same evening, on board
the Kent, 78, now fitting as a guard-ship.
By a letter dated on board the Calypso, at Mala-
ga, 23d of April, we learn that vessel is a 10-gun
brig, and that she has been at Malta as Colonial
yacht for these three years past, but is now ordered
to this port, to be paid off, being manned from the
Dryad, and commanded by Lieut. John Decourcy
Dashwood of that ship. The Calypso left Malta
on the 16th March, with invalids front the squadron,
and` encountered constantly westerly winds. Sha
was to' sail immediately the wind changed, for
Gibraltar' and Plymouth. The Dryad was to have
left Malta in about a week after the Calypso, with
Commissioner Ross, and was to touch at Civita
Vecchia and Leghorn, to collect statues for the
King. As she must have had similar winds to
those which the Calypso had, she cannot well in
expected for some days.
Commander Joseph Harrison has commissioned
the Favouri r e, 18, at Portsmouth, for foreign service
Captain Francis Beaufort is appointed Hydroga*,

'PARIS, MAY I4.—The following news are from
the lonian 1,14:n19, dated April 20 :
The Courier de Sinyme, of the 29th of March,
loudly complains of Admiral Rieord, for having
blockaded the coast from the Gulf of Contessa to
the Dardanelle,, without having concerted the
measure with the other two Admirals of the Allied
squadrons. Ile has indeed intimate] to the Con-
sul of the Netherlands that the blockade extended
otdy to contraband of war, yet, in consequence of
tijs dechtration, a vessel bound from Smyrna to
Euos Irmd been stopped by the Russian ships, and
.ei)t hack to Smyrna ; the whole cargo had at first
I:een removed into the Russian ships, but was after-
wards restored with a prohibition against taking it
to Enos. A vessel belonging to the lonian Islands
had been served in the same manner.

None of the Commanders of the Eurepean
squadrons had received notice of this measure of
Admiral Ricord's.
The blockade of the Dardanelles is continued
v..it.h no less rigour, and the Russian Commander
has informed the Dutch Consul at Smyrna, that he
has ju,t seized an Ansi:inn vessel as it was going to
hteak the blockade.
The last letters from Alexandria, of the beginning
of April, say that the Paella's squadron was ready
to put to sea.
Every thing confirms the increased success of the
Greek troops in Western Greece. Prevesa, which
bad keen several times summoned to surrender by
General Church, would he unable to hold out much
longer, notv.ithstanding the exertions of the Pacha,
r‘ho looked in vain for reinforcements. The pos.
session of this place by the Greeks would be tke
;nun! fatal to the Turks, as the general insurrection
of the Albanians' daily becomes more serious, far
from having been suppressed, as some papers have
erroneously stated.
The- movements which agitate Albania snd
Thessaly are looked upon with distrust at Corfu,
and considered as the effeCts of the perfidious in-
fluence of forego tuanceuvres. The most opulent
Turkish famili7s of Prevesa have come to take re-
h,„:o at Corfu, with all that they have been able to
etve of their fort •
