We have yet, says the Hampshire Telegraph, to
learn the object to be accomplished by sending two
line-of-battle ships to South America. It appear-
the ships (St.;? Ens and VENGEVR) are not intended as
a permanent augmentation to the naval force there,,
as they are expected to return in about ten months,
and resume their respective stations, as guard-ships,
at Plymouth and Leith. The SUPERB has been
equipped for sea with great celerity, at Plymouth,
where she waits only for men to complete her com-
plement to 540. Lieutenants the lion. H. FINCH and
T. J. C. EVANS, and Assistant-Surgeon I‘I,DonuALL,
are appointed to her. Commodore Sir THOMAS
HARDY left Plymouth on Monday, fur the Admiralty,
to receive his final instructions from that Board.---

—The VENGECR, 71, Captain FREDERICK L. MAIT-
LAND, arrived at Portsmouth on Thursday, from
Leith, and is fitting with the utmost expedition for
foreign service. An the Officers who served under
the flag of Rear-Admiral Or WAY, at Leith, are con-
tinued in her. Her complement on board is to be in,
creased from 300 to 540 men. The QUAIL cutter,
intended as a tender to the VENGEUR, arrived at.
Portsmouth on Priday, from Plymouth. The OwEN
GLENDOWER frigate has been also commissioned at
Chatham for the South American station ; the Hon.
Captain SPENCER is to command her. The GANY-
MIME will take the station of the SEVERN in the
Downs, which ship will remove to Leith.

Major BEZANT, of the Corps of Artillery of Gene-1
ral MAocnzoon, arrived in town on Thursday last,
with letters from the COMMANDIR-IN-CHIZIP, dated St.
Andre, May 28, in which it is stated that General
MAccnscon took with him from St. Andre, (the De-
pot) to Porte-Bello, two complete troops of the Lan-
Intros de Maceroni. all veteran soldiers, from the 9th,
12th, and 16th British Lancers, perfectly well-armed
and equipped, and mounted at Porto-Betio. The Ge-
neral, cocceiving it to be impossible for him to be
attacked from any other quarter than from the high
road of Panama, sent his outposts and picquets in that
direction, optics. the command of Major BALDWIN,
