FROM TIM

To.rc LAPS.

We have had no foreign arrival this week, strong adverse winds
having prevailed throughout. With respect to the nun-arrival of his
Majesty's ship Tweed (as we perceive the name of this ship so
frequently mentioned in the 'Anibal Papers), we seed only repeat,
that there is no reasonable cause for alarm whatever bar her safety.
'The hit letters front Captain Hann (received by Nits. IL now re-
sidhig near this place) are dated at Vera Cruz, January 15, at which
time he expected to sail immediately; but he adds, I have other
places to Irish, and cannot, at the earliest, be in England before the
itest week in April." From Lieutenant Puwney we learnt (hat
Captain Dunn was detained until the sth of February, of cnurse
longer than his expectations when he made the above calculation.
Letters have been received from his Majesty's ship Waspite,
dated the 4th December. from Port Jackson (New South Wales);
she had seers 'weeks' passage (rein 'Trincomalee, five of which
Commodore Sir James Brisbane was confuted-to Ms bed. 'the
ship arrived the 19th of.Octuber, and he Landed somewhat better,
but a relapse of dysentery ensued, and we have much regret in
adding, that on the tal December be was so ills to be despaired of;
but when the letters came away, a little change had ensued, which
produced a hope. Lady K. and fanidy, in point of health, were
well. Sir James Brisbane's attack commenced at Prorate, six
months before, and be was in reduced at Trincomalee as- to be
with defficay moved from the Boadicea to the Warspite. Mr.
Roseland Mainwaring, mid. (boa of Capt. Rowland bLianwaring,
IL N,) died.on the .27th of October, of dysentery. The Warspite
and Volage were to proc..ed from Port Jackson to Vadparalso, to
relieve the Cambridge and Eclair. The Success, 28, Capt. Stirling,
arrived at Sydney on Nov. 28, from England and the Marritius.--a
The Fly, Is, Captain Wetherell, sailed on Nov. 9, with the brigs
Amity and Dragon, having, on board floors and stores to form
settlements at Western I'urt aad King George Sound.

The blenai, 26, Captain Michael Seymour (which arrived on
Monday from Woolwich), sailed this morning for the South Ame-
rican nation. She took dispatches for the Hon. R. Gordon, Am-
bassador at the Brazils, and for Admiral Sir Robt. Otway.
Itemalu at Spithead—Galatea and Redwing. In the Harbour.

Victory, Melville, Wellesley, Dartmouth, Dispatch, Went', Manly,'
Sylvia, sad Calliope.
The Hosier frigate, Capt. Edward Boxer, is expected to arrive
at Spirhead from Deptfoid about the sth May, hued for the Hag of
Rear-Admiral Sir Ches. Ogle, on the Notib American command.
Wednesday, the Warren Hastings, Capt. Drake, sailed for Port
Jackson, with 168 male convicts from the hulks at this place, under
the charge of Dr. King. The Warren Hastings will afterwards
proceed from New South Wales to China, for a cargo of tea for the
liast India Company, on which voyage she. will pass near the
ground on which, it is stated in some recent Calcutta Papers, that
the remains of Monsieur de la Perousea mew will be found. The
island Is called in the charts Tacoma, and lies between the group
called the Hebrides and the Priendly Islands, about lat. 10. S.
and long. 167. F.. We wish her intended research may be attended
with success.

Sir Thomas Ilardy put into Scilly, on Monday last, with the
Expertmental squadron, where he was joined by the Sapphire,
Alert, and Trinculo. Tho whole oquadrotthavins now mutt& Sir
Thomas intend,4 to proceed on the cruise immediately. We pre-
sent extracts from letters received—

"His 114rsty's Skip Cdumbine, April 17.—Up to the present
time the Columbine has bad no competitor, in point of sailing—
Whesievei theta has been a breeze, in piing to windward, the Co-
lausbize, at the close (jibe day, has been obliged to bear up lz or
eight miles, in order to join the squadron to leeward."

" Nu Midesig's Ship (.7talknier, April 17.—With respect to the
ships, as yet, the Challenger has beat them aIL The only trial is
between her and the Columbine' which ship, when there it any
wind, the Challenger always beats, and even sometimes in light
winds. The Welt is nest open the ISst, and superior to Sir Robert
Seppings' two ships, the Acorn and Satellite. The Tyne is so bad
a sailor that she never tries with any of the ships. The Challenger
weathers the 'lryne if any wind, a mile,,and frequently a mile and a
an hour. The trigate (Pyramus) is also beat nearly as muck.
There has beeb little trial as yet with the Sapphire, but what we
had we beat her."

" Challenger, or Scilly, .dei 17.-4 U Admiral has just made
signal that an opportunity alters for mending letters Into port ; I
therefore take advantage of such to inform you how we all peon

since our first start, and I am sore you will be pleased to bear that
the Challenger has maintained the most decided superiority over the
whole squadron ; the Columbioe is the only vessel that has any
chance with us, and then only in fine weather—directly we have
wind and &Bede sea, Columbine does nothing with as. In fact,
Challenger Is one of the most weatberly ships I ever saw, and
sails uncommonly well. We weathered Pyramid eleven miles in
seven boors, dead to windward. Tyne is the most miserable
craft that was ever built as a man-of-war—indeed, so bad, that
she is entirely excluded from trying with the other ships of the
squadron. Capt. White has by signal, acknowledged Tyne having
completely failed; she, with Acorn, are the two worst of all; we
even beat Pyramos considerably—a thing rather übusual for a 48.,
gun ship to beat a 44. gun frigate. Sapphire has joined us again—
the first few hours we were together we lost her, and hope yet so'
to do. We shall then be champion of the whole."
The powers delegated by the Sovereign to the Lord High Ad.,
mita are extraordinatilf great and extensive. la him is solely
vested the appointment of all Naval Office: It is the s. sercise of
this part of his privileges that the isoblic will watch with the most
jealous eye I and if the lhike of Clarence, unconnected as be is with
politics, should allow the claim, of service to be the principal and
sure road to promotion and employment, his Royal Highness may
rest assured that the applause of the nation, and pnpularity with the
sinks over which he made' will most certainly be his reward,
Rear Admiral Sir Edward Owen, &C.D. is appointed Surseydr.
General of the Ordnance.
G. IL Hamilton, Esq. late Private Secretary to Lord Melville,
is appointed Prieate Secretary to the Lord High Admiral, hls Royal
Highness the Bute of Clarence.
We understand that Admiral the Earl of Nottheak,
assume the command at Plymouth on the 7th of Slay.
A snub naval promotion among the junior classes of Olken will
take piece on the £34 inst.
