'Wednesday the Romney, so. Captain N. Lockyer, CB. returned
from Lisbon, in fifteen days, bringing two days later accounts than
were contained in our last paper. There were then no news—not
even a report. Things, ashore and afloat, had been restored to
their former state of tranquillity. The following persons came
home passengers in the Romney :—Colonel Weber Smith, Captain
Wise, Captain M' Laughlin, Lieutenant Spitler, and Dr. Patratt, of
the Royal Artillery; Major Vandeleur, of the 12th Lancers; Cap-
tain Bowlby, 4th Regiment ; Mrs. Colonel Pearson, of the 23d, and
two children; Assistant Commissary General Wyboult and Lady.
Wednesday arrived the Maria transport, Lieutenant Ambrose,
from Malta, whence she sailed on the fifth March, having on board
returned astral and ordnance stores, naval invalids from the aqua.
&on, and military invalids from the 1/th, $ tb, end 98th Regi-
ments the Rifle Corps d Artillery. Left at Malta, the Asia
(Sir Edwardi tin), Medina, Jasper, and Raleigh. The Se.
ringapatam had sailed to join Commodore Hamilton. in the Aral-
pelage.—Same day the Galatea frigate, Sir Charles Sullivan, Bart.
sailed for the Note, to embark the Marquis of Hertford, Sir Geo.
Naylor, and suite, on their mission to St. Petersburgh to invest the
Emperor Nicholas with the Order of the Garter. We understand
that they will embark about the 20th instant. The Welcome trans-
port, Lieutenant S. P. Pritchard, will accompany the Galatea, to
take the horses, baggage, Mc.
Thursday the Redwing, 18, Captain H. C. Clavering, sailed on
her return to the coast of Africa.

Every Officer who has visited the Coast of Africa expresses the
greatest surprise at the erroneous opinion that we in England have
formed of the Island of Fernando Po, situate in the Bight of Benin
—said tit be chosen as our future principal African Colony. The
favourable opinion imbibed has been principally formed upon an
article written by a Gentleman of great experience in African
matters. This island is described to us as being remarkably un-
healthy, profusely covered with vegetation, and liable, from the sur-
rounding high lands, and its own altitude, to be continually visited
with tornadoes, and is enveloped In unwholesome miasma. It does
not contain a single harbour, and scarcely even an anchoring ground.
• It is inhabited by about 10,000 people, of the must savage .nd des-
perate character, who are proverbially inimical to any intrusion on
their ground, on the part of Europeans, no one ever having gone
beyond the beach, without having a spear thrown at him. A fort
may be built by force, but the garrison, must never expect to go
beyond the pallisades.
His Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral issued au official
notification on Wednesday, that he had ou that day taken the com-
mand and direction of his Majesty's Fleet.

Lock, Warren, and Stopford (flag); Mr. Hepburn, Master ; Mr.
Neale, Surgeon ; Mr. Shea, Purser. John Brenton, Esq. Secretary

l huraday the Russian ships of war Czar Constantine, 74 (Rear.
Admiral liellinghausen). and St. aglow frigate. which, on their
return from Toulon and Algiers, torched at this port, sailed for
Cronstadt. Admiral Sir Robert-Stopford visited the Czar Constan-

This is a fine ship. and in very good order.

proportion. Malting Barley sold at the prices of this day week,
