His Majesty's slop Scylla arrived on Thursday. She
lei. Jamaica on the 30th January, Tampico on the 11th
Art:, Havannah on the 25th April, and Nassau. New
Providence, on the 27th May. The Scylla has brought
home about 650,000 dollars, shipped at Vera Cruz and
Tampico, on Werth/11a' account, and ISO Snails of

cochineal. Lieutenants Moseley and Kew'ley, invalids
from the West India squadron, are passengets. The
Duke of York packet passed Crooked Island, from
Jamaica, on the Bth of May, with Captain Chambers,
of the Druid (invalided), and Commander Fezen. lately
promoted from the Pincher schooner, on bawd, on their
return to England. The B.urhaan, Vice. Ado,. Fleming,
Druid, and Arachne, left Crooked Island on the 9th if
May, for Jamaica. The Bustal d had sailed for Tut k's
Island, with the Governor of e Bahamas on board.—
The Auroro, Victor, Harlequin, and Fairy, and Pickle
,choonrr, were on the Barbados station. The Slaney
had arrived at Jamaica from Trinidad, with Sir R.
Woodford. The Valorous was zone to New Yot k—
she was to return to the West Indies, and then pro-
ceed by Vera Cruz to England. The Speedwell
and Monkey were at Nassau, refitting. The Nim-
ble and Skipjack were cruising, for the suppression.
of the slave trade, on the north coat of Cuba.
A survey of the Six Shilling Channel had been executed
by Lieutenant Allen, of the Scylla, which renders
Cochrane Island anchorage, between Rose Island and
New Providence, much more accessible to large ships.
IThe Barham laid there six weeks. The Scylla has
been three years in the West Indies, during which time
she lost by cfeath 45 persons. amongst whom were two
Commanderi—Russell and De Crespigne. Dosing the
last two years she has been employed on the coast of
Cuba, for the suppression of piracy and slave trading.
On the 2d of June the Scylla spoke the Jersey brig Ad-
venture, from the Havannah to St. Andero; and on the
12th of Jane exchanged signals with the English ship
Harmony, from Rio de Janeiro to London, and the
French ship St. Jacques, bound to Havre.

His Majesty's steam vessel Meteor arrived yesterday'
from Lisbon, which she left on Sunday. The intent-
gence brought by her,- respecting the progress of the
Consitutional force against the usurped authority of
Don Miguel, leads to no sanguine hopes of any imme-
diate success to their cause. They are described to be

in a sad state of discipline, are deficient in a skilful and
determined Commander, and schism has already reared
. .

itself among them. Two regiments are said to have
had a skirmish, arising from private feud; and two
others, which had marched to join the Constitutionalists,
had thrown away their allegiance, and returned to the
banners of Don Miguel. Such, in fact, is their wavering
and unsettled nature, that few in Lisbon consider them
firm in the cause they have espoused. The Terror bomb,
with the Bishop of Mims, and some Portuguese Noble-
men, on board, sailed from the Tagus for England on
Saturday. The Pyramus and Badger were lying there.
The latter was on the point of relieving the Procris,
which vessel, with the Cordelia, was cruising off Oporto.
The Cordelia had chased a Portuguese vessel, but could
not come up with her, which bad molested the trade
there; and notice had been given by the Commanders
of our men of war, that any Portuguese man of war at-
tempting to prevent the free ingress and egress of British
merchantmen to Oporto, would immediately be fired
into and sunk as a pirate. The Meteor brought as pas-
sengers, Baron de Palenca, Envoy Extraordinary from
the Emperor of Russia to the Court of Lisbon; Le
Comte Vandruil, the. French Charge d'Affaires, and
Lord Fordwich, the eldest son of Earl Cowper. The
Meteor spoke the Galatea, Captain Sir C. Sullivan.
going into the Tagus, as she was quitting the River.
The Russian ship Hanboute, 74 guns. Captain Avenoff, and the
Provornoy frigate, Captain Gotovizeff, arrived yesterday, after a
passage of 20 days from Malta. They return to Ctonstadt, from
their defective state, and will proceed thither in a few days.—Vice
Admiral Sir Edward Codrington sailed from Malta, fur Corfu, in
the Ocean, on the Bth of May, with the Talbot, Pitilontel, and
Hind. The Wasp had arrived at Malta from England, and re-
mained with the Revenge, Infernal. Erebus, and Racer cutter.—
The Admiral intended to return to Malta in about a week, to shift
his flag to the Asia. The• Asia arrived at Malta, from Spithead, on
the 20th May, all well.
The last letters from Halifax mention the arrival there of the
Tyne, 28, Captain Sir Richard Grant, fretst Bermuda, and state that
the Acorn sloop of war, and- Contest, gun brig, bad not arrived. It
was presumed they had been damaged in a heavy gale of wind, and
bad borne up for Jamaica to repair.
Vice Admiral Sir Pultney Malcolm. 8.C.8. hoisted his flag this
afternoon on board the Wellesley, 74, Captain F. Maitland, C.B.
as Commander•in-Chief in the Mediterranean. The Wellesley
will sail on Wedoeisday next, and wilt relieve the Warspite, 74,
Captain Parker, unless the intended augmentation of the Russian
and French squadrons should induce our Government to increase
our naval force in that quarter.
The Challenger, 28, Captain Fitselarenee, will sail on Wednes-
day morning for Newfoundland, Halifax, and Quebec.. She will
return to England with the Earl of Dalhousie, the Governor.
General of Canada, and land his Lordship at Leith.
His Royal Highnestr.the Lord High Admiral, whose intention to
visit this port on Monday bag been frustrated by important public
duties at the Admiralty, will arrive here on Tuesday evening. His
Royal Highness, after inspecting the Wellesley and Challenger,
and attending the examination of the students of the Naval College
on the following day, wiU mare to town en Thursday.
The Starling cutter, Unarming Moffatt, is ordered to be paid
off ; ahe is either to be sold out of the service, or broken up.
The Naiad, 46, in Ordinary, will be taken °Ascot Dock on Wed-
nesday. The Spartiate. 74, Captain F. Warren, guard-ship, will
be taken into Deck on Thursday.
To facilitate the fitting oat of men of war that may be ordered
for Commission, or to obviate the difficulty of obtaining seamen in
eases of emergency, the flag-ships at the several ports are, in future,
to enter, as supernumeraries, seamen who am desirous of serving in-
definitively, as well as such whose object maybe to join a particu-
: larship. The latter are to be transferred to such respective vessels
as occasion may offer.
