NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

DEVONPORT, AUG. 22.—Admiral Earl Northesk
re-hoisted his flag on board the Britannia on Satur-
day last, having returned from the Westward on
that day, in the Meteor steamer.
His Majesty's brig Briseis, 10, has been commis-
sioned at Woolwich for the packet service. Lieut.
S. Downing and Mr. T. E. Ring, Assistant-surgeon,
are appointed to her.
In Hamoaze—Britannia, Kent, Trinculo, Light-
ning, Leveret, Swallow, Eclipse, and Meteor steamer.
Lieut. R. L. Warren is appointed to the Victory.
Lieut. G. M. Hunter has come home in the Le-
veret, invalided from the Harpy, in the West Indies,
Po RTSMOUTII, AUG. 22.—The Ganges, 84.
Captain Inglefield, with the flag of Rear-Admiral
Sir Robert Waller Otway, K.C.8., who has been
succeeded in the command of the South American
station by Rear-Admiral Baker, C. 8., arrived at
St. Helen's on Thursday evening, from Rio de
Janeiro, which she left on the 28th June, at which
time all was quiet, politically, in the Brazilian Em-
pire, and trade was recovering. Not the slightest
preparation was made, nor any contemplated, to in-
terfere with the revolution in Portugal—in fact, the
Emperor Pedro found himself utterly incapable of
fitting out an expedition for this purpose, being des-
titute of ships, men, and funds requisite for so distant
a service. The Ganges has brought home the
British Ambassador to the Court of Brazils, Lord
Ponsonby (and Lady), and about 18,0001. sterling,
in specie, on account of the Brazil Mining Company.
Lord Ponsonby landed yesterday, under the cus-
tomary salutes from the Ganges and the garrison,
and proceeded to :London. His Lordship has left
Henry Aston, Esq. Charge d'Affaires at Rio, to
protect the British interests.
The Warspite, Rear-Admiral Baker ; and Cad-
mus, 10, were at Rio when the Ganges sailed
thence, together with the Duquesne, 80, Rear-Ad-
miral Baron Rossin ; Caroline, 60, Rear-Admiral
Greville ; Nymph, 44 guns; and a store ship, French
(the Duquesne is now on her passage to Brest) ;
also the American ships, Hudson, 60; and the Van-
deleur, 24. The Boston, 44, should have been
there also ; but it was believed that her crew had
mutinied, and had taken the ship to the United
States, on a plea that their term of foreign servi-
tude had expired. The English frigate, Tribune,
she is to go
into the Pacific. By the last advices, the presence

of an English force at Buenos Ayres was highly
necessary, as the marines of the ship had been landed
as a personal guard fer,the safety of the British Con-
sul and his family, so much was the city and coun-
try disturbed by political divisions. Many stroll.,
parties were mere bands of robbers. The French
inhabitants had been obliged to enrol themselves
into an armed police, and all the British merchants
had barricadoed their houses and stores.
The Maria Isabel, Brazilian corvette, Captain
Pascoe Grenfell (mounting 28 heavy carronades),
arrived here from Rio Janeiro, on Wednesday, with
the Marquis de Palma, Chamberlain to the Queen,
who is intended to act in the place of the Marquis
de Barbacena. This vessel, which left Rio on the
20th of June, was formerly a steam-vessel, named
the Fulton.
The Galatea frigate, Captain C. Napier, C.B.
was in lat. 13 N. long. 30 W. and all well on the
28th ult. After quitting Madeira she made Tene-
riffe, having in vain been in search of the pirates.
Qff the Cape de Verdes, however, she fell in with
two frigate-looking ships, but which it does not ap-
pear she was enabled to board, though she was
cleared for action, is the event of a necessity. It

was presumed they were large slavers. She called
at St. Jago, but could not hear of any suspieil
vessels; subsequently she boarded a beauthad
schooner, manned by 'Portuguese and French,ol!
found on board of her a few shackles, but as t°
schooner had no appearance of buccaneering:, she
could not be detained, though evidently a. S 10%;
adapted to carry 300 slaves. It will be yet sol°7
time before the Galatea reaches Jamaica.
The Philomel, 10 guns, will call at Spithead is
the course of next week, on her way to the Meditet•
ranean ; the Challenger frigate, and Sulphur Wroth
by the last advices from the Cape, had gone 00 t°
Swan River; the Dartmouth frigate was at Gibraltar
on the 26th ult.; the Druid frigate had arrived at
Jama;ea, from the Havannah, her voyage homeward;
having been delayed in consequence of the late acci-
dent to the Barham.

By letters from Simon's Town, Cape of Good
Hope, of the 26th June, the Civil Commissioneo
had assembled to receive the annual taxes. The
tevenue books, under the government of his Excel'
lency Sir Lowry Cole, being no longer kept $
secret, it was discovered that the fines levied tut
July, 1827, upon the retailers in that to"°'
amounted to twelve hundred rix dollars, besides es'
peaces, only one quarter has been credited in the
Governtnent books. The inhabitants have .o'll
remonstrated, an inquiry was on foot, and the result'
no doubt, will prove, the value of a Governor ivilu
permits the contributor to taxes the opportunity f
seeing a just entry made of his contribution--4
permission which sill check the too previliug arl"
tem of peculation in an infant colony, and by thoSs
who call the Governor his friend.
It is understood as a probable event that thi!s
country is on the point of acknowledging Don Die,

Strangford will be sent forthwith, in the Briton ri'
gate, as an Ambassador to Lisbon.
The report in circulation, that a reinforcement

incorrect, no intimation having been given to the
Consulate here that any more ships are to be expected'
