NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

• •
We have reason to believe that Ministers are in
possession-of -accounts from the Island of Elba, an.
mouncing BOXAPARTeI arrival at Porto Ferrajo on
4 the Ith May, and stating that he was received with
Acclamations by the itthabitants. This is in unison with

~.~

The Cooke belonging to the late establishment at
St. James's Palace, Mr. HANNAH, the Clerk of the
Kitchen, and Mr. BARKER, the King's Coniectionet,
and of the Windsor establishment, left town on Tues-
day and yesterday, to proceed on board the Royal
Yachts, which are to bring over the Foreign Sove-
reigns from France to gnglinad.• The .yachts are ex-
pected to be ready at Dover this day.
His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT has
been pleased, in the name and on behalf of his MA-
:errs, to confer the honour of Knighthood on WIL-
LIAM ADAMS, Esq. Oculist Extraordinary tahis Royal
Highness, on presenting the Official Report of the
Directors of Greenwich Hospital of the superior suc-
cess of his new and improved modes of effecting the
cure of the various species ofcatar.sct, and the Egyp-
tian Opthalmia.
COVENT GARDEN.-Mr. KENIRLE made his appear-
ance last night at ibis Theatre in Copia/anus. He was
,received, on his entrance, with enthusiastic and long
~continued bursts of applause, by a crowded audience,
and his performarece of this favourite part was cheer-
ed throughout with the most gratifying approbation.
NevAL Review.--Not leis than Fiftyi sail of the
Line are ordered to rendezvous at Spithead by the
4th of next month, in order to form a grand- naval
spectacle. It is to be composed of two distinct Lines
of Battle, each accompanied with various vessels of
inferior force, fire-ships, &c. in order that the scene
may convey to the Royal Foreigners, who will be
present, a correct idea of a Naval Action, which will
be represented aid) all its tactical manoeuvres, as near.
as can possibly be effected. •
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East
InJia House, when Captsin H. BECHER, of the ship
Lady Carrington, took leave of the Court, previous to
departing for Madeira and Bengal.
Communications have been received from Madrid,
to the date of the 29th of last month, when matters
iemained in that Capital in a state of the most gainful
uncertainty. A definitive answer had been required
from FERDINAND, as to his acceptance of the Consti-
tution, and as to the time of his return to the seat of
Government, but none had beets obtained. Hopes
were indulged that the British Minister would use his
influence with the Young KING, and the persons by
whom he is surrounded, to promote the acceptance
of the Constitution; but the more intelligent encou-
raged no such expectation, and concluded that Sit
HENRY WELLESLEY would decline all interference.—
In this dilemma the intention of some of the Mem.
bers of the Cortes appeared to be, to allnist the bold
measure of setting aside the present Sovereign, and
to offer the Crown to Don CARLOS; the next heir to
the Kingdom, hut the most serious difficulties were
apprehended from such an experiment.
LUCIEN BONAPARTE, who left his seat is Worces-
tershire in the early part of last week, with the per-
mission of the British Government, to proceed to
Rome, landed at Rotterdam on Wednesday se'nnight.
He was accompanied by an Italian ecclesiastic and
two servants. He made some visits to persons to
whom he had letters. He wished to be unknown ;
but being recognized, he endeavaured to avoid the
troublesome crowds that curiosity and his name soon
set on foot to get a sight of him.
The Ticket, No. 5532, a Prize of £15,000 in the
last Lottery, was sold in one Half and eight Sixteenth
Shares, at SWIFT and co.'s Fortunate Offices, No. 11;
Poultry, 12, Charing-Cross, and 31, Aidgate High-
street ; where Tickets and Shares of the New Lot-
tery, to be drawn on the King's Birth-day, ate now
on Sale in great variety.
We understand that in consequence of their great
and ueprecidented attraction numbers being nightly
disappointed of places in the boxes) the splendid
Equestrian Spectacle of the Seem Mine, sit ith its united
stud of Horses, the graceful dancing of the .Misses
ADAMS and Monsieur St:lissom, the highly wonderful
performances of the Stag Zephyr, from Paris, and
the popular harlequinade of Merlites Cave, will be
repeated every evening this week, at Army's
Theatre.
Early yesterday morning a leather trunk, contain-
ing wearing apparel and other valuables, worth up-
war& of a€7oo, vias cut from behind the travelling
carriage of Colonel STEVENS, between the Colonel's
lodging, St. James's-street, and the Elephant and
Castle, Newington. The Colonel was on his way to
Dover, where he intended to embark for France, and
lamongst other property contained in the trunk, were
100 guineas which he had allotted to take with him,
and several valuable trinkets belonging to Mrs. STE
vans, who was with him in the carriage. The Colo-
nel and his Lady immediately returned to town.
Friday se'nnight, a boat was upset near Borrows-
townesso by which accident tingeing:4os won drooled.
