Thot-tt y the • steam passage Vessel, Duke

Lisbon, in five days from die lAA mentioned place, with
pas•enter• and part Inuit cargo. On re 17th, 15th,
and 19. h ult. she experienced very severe gales of Lis-
bon, Wins the S.W. hich obliged her, and :lie Plumper

and Lyra bail;—weir king their lower yards and
topmasts struck. Th boat, of ihe Plumper w are wished
away, rind +lie was obliged to I,ut into the Tagu, to
repair damages; *truth having done, she sailed for the
coast et Africa.

The B ish.rroops in Portugal expect to return'home
in about .sis weeks after the arrival there of Don Miguel.
Two.ot the Regiments, it was understood, would go to
Gibraltar ,nt the Wellesley. The Magnet pack. t was
to Mil for England the day after the Duke sit York ;
the Saadwrch packet had just passed Bei _cm, from Fai•
Mouth.
The necnunts from Gibraltar are t t the 15 h N v.
The Warspite, 74, Captain William Parker, C.B.
passed it on' the 9th fur Malta. It was understood
that twelve thousand French troops had left Bar-
celona, and its neighbourhood, to return to Fiance—
e pat of them hid actually reached the frontiers. A
part of the French army at Cadiz, was shottly expected
to evacuate that garrison and neighbourhood, and re-
tarn home. It was reported there that a French man
of war brig had been captured by an Algerine brig.
The American frigate Java had left Gibraltar. fnr Mi-
aOrca, to winter; the Qntatio, for New York. There
vete two ?tench brigs, belonging to the Algerine
Squadron, refitting at Malaga. A French brig Waf
lying at C;runna, and a Spanish lugger was cruz ng ofl
• Cape Finisterre, after smugglers. In most all the Spa-
nish ports, the French have one man of war lying.
Thegood -accounts given by the passengers by the
• Duke of York, of her superior weatherly qualities in
crossing the Bay of Biscay against S.W. gales, has much
increased the favourable opinion formed of Steam Botts
in bad weather. They will lay withitifour points of the
sind, forereach, and go to windward in the most extraor-
dinary way, and particularly the harder the wind blows.
Bet it should be observed, that these vessels are as long
(165 feet) and nearly as large as a frigate, having S 2 feet
beam, from gunwale to gunsiale. and from wheel to
%heel 55 feet beam. Frigates are fine sea boats, so ate
brigs, when in the hands of seamen ;but this-steam boat
and the George theFoutth (the only two steam boats that
blare the open ocean out of England) an old Officer on
board, considers far superior to line of battle ships, or
any other class of vessels in a storm,* and riding at
anchor, they are easier than any other vessel, from the
lorm of their bottom.
Our letters from Lisbon state, that his Majesty's ship
Weitsclite 74', sailed on the 7th bl.m. under the comand of

.
Capt. Win. Parker, C.B. to join, it was supposed, the Me-
- ditetranean squadron. Previous to h-r leaving the Tagus,
sfaiewelll dinner was given by the Officers of that ship
toiheir late Captain, the Hon. Richard S. Dondas. Tlie
sleeve regard and esteem in which that Officer was
held by All the ship was fully manifested upon this occa-
von. Many appropriate toasts were given after dinner,
and hesruly shank; and on Captain D's leaving the
ship, he was rowed n board the Wellesley by the five
Lieutenants and the Master of the Warspite, the Com-
mander steering, amidst the loud and repeated cheers
01 the v bole crew. The boat was attended by another
tilled with Midshipmen, by way of escort.
Tuesday his Majesty's brig the Chanticleer, Captain
J. B. Maxwell, arrived from the Mediterranean station,
to be paid off; list from Lisbon, in 19 days: she left
Malta En the 26th of September. A letter we have
received by her from an Officer, says—" We have
' lately twice visited Smyrna, and thrice Napoli di
Romania, the nominal seat of the Grecian Government ;
and vatj, grievous vanity and 'vexation of spirit, every
thing relative to Greece and the Greeks, we have loons
+:finitely worse than the worst we could have ima.
gmed• Tn reduce them to proper order by land, would
require a large army; to put down their piracies by sea,
vonld requires large British feet: their Government is
merely nominal, not in the smallest degree efficient: they
have no real 1)41U-tints: their courage is confined to
discord and civil a ar, they exert none against Cher pro
per enemy the Turks ; they seem to have given over all
thoughts of s• renuous opposition to them by arms, and,
content themselves in praying for some superior help ;
they seem to think they are exempt firm ft:other
exertion; meantime, the whole nation, as far as they
have cpportunitr, have turned pirates ; their depre-
dations are daily increasing : dissensispi rttgos all
over Greece ; civil war broke out at Napoli on our first
',is.: there, and was pro.ecuted for eight or ten days
under our view,- by cannonading, bombarding, and
musketing, with a little sabring and daggering ; nor
Could all the zealoes interference of our Admiral and
. his naval Cal tains and others, effect a pacification. A
Whole month's endeays.urs at a conciliation of the rival
