FROM THE HAMPSHIRE I'ILEGRAPPE, NOV. 22.
The Aurora, 46, Captain C. J. Aristeo, strived born
Vera Cruz and Tampico on Sunday, with specie and
cochineal, together of the value of 800,0001. on met.
chants accounts. She sailed from Vera Cruz on the
24th of August. The Mexican Commodore Porter had
struck his broad pendant, and disbanded the crew of
the Asia, 64, without orders from his Government, be.
cause he could obtain no wages for them; the con
quence of which was, that some hundred English sailors
were " turned adrift," and lounging about the streets
of Vera Cruz. The Mexican navy, which was only a
but then to that country, and nuisance to the commerce'
of those seas, is now entirely disbanded. La Borde's
squadron were lying at Havannah on the 7th August;
they were all well manned, and in excellent order ; it
was La Botde's intention to lay them up there from
September till December—a period which he considers
comprises the hurricane months. The Aurora sailed
from Bermuda on the 15th ult. The Barhatn was re-
fitting there; the Druid had arrived from Halifax, and
would shortly proceed to Jamaica. Vice Admiral
Fleming was to follow in the Barham the early part of
his month. The Menai, Victor, and Icarus, were on
the Bar badoes station; Sidney and Magnificent at Port
Royal. The whole squadron was heal'hy. The Au-
rora, on the 27th ult. in lat. 42 30. lone 36, fell in with
the bask Hannah, Spence. master, f.om Quebec to
London, steering for Vie Weltern Wands ; the latter
having sprung a leak a few days before. She
bore down upon the Aurora with a signal of diAtess
flying; the crew were on the pqint of abandoning her
when the Aurora Mee in sight. Captain Austen im-
mediately gave her in charge- to Litut. Stewart, who,
with twelve of the Aurora's ship's company, were put
on board of her, to bring her to England. Stie was
brought in here this mot ning, and the mann-r in which
this service was performed by Lieutenant Stewart, from
circumstances attending the navigation of her since the
Aurora parted company, is spoken of as meriting the
`highest encomium.

It is remarkable that during three years and nine
months, the period the Aurora has been in commission,'
two years and a half of which she has been serving in
the West Indies, she has lost one man only by death,
and that by consumption,and has had no more than three 11
or four on the list, for accide► ts. The ship's company
are in a most efficient fighting order, every seaman
bring as perfectly familiar with the musket and broad
sword as with the gunnery exercise. Vice Adm.ral
Fleming expressed his warme►t commendations at the
disposition of every thing requisite for action—a paint
of duty to which he particularly directs his attention.
The Aurora brought to England Mrs. Erten, the Lady
of the Chief Justice at Bermuda ; Capt. Campbell, late
of the SlaGey ; and Colonel Dashwood (tate Consul at
Xalappe), and Lady. She will proceed to Plymouth,
when the wind will permit, to be paid off.

Letters have been received from Rio de Janeiro, dated
the 12111 of September. The Heron had railed on the
10th, with the Commissioners entrusted with the preli-
minaries of peace between Brazil and Buenos Ayres.
The Ganges had sailed for Bahia. The Thetis and Cad-
mus were lying at Rio; the latter expected to be in
England about April. The Sapphire was in the River
Plate; the Tribune had not arrived.

The Skipjack schooner, of one gun, commanded by
Lieutenant Pulling, captured on the 2d August, while
proceeding from Maracaibo to Jamaica, after a cunning
fight of six hours, a Spanish brigantine called the In-
trepide, of five guns, and 27 men, with 153 slaves on
board. The vessel and slaves were carried to the Ha-
channels, and immediately condemned by the Mixed
Commission there. The slave vessel had sailed from the
River Bonny on the 7th June, and was bound to the
Havannah, or near it, with 343 slaves on beard, IW
of whom, from ill treatment, bad feeding, and excessive
filth, bad died on their passage, sad 18 more expired
after she was in Lieutenant Pulling's pos.essiun, not-
withstanding as much attention as .possible, together
with medical assistance, was afforded them. It is im•
possible to describe the misery these poor wretches had
endured, or to pourtray the gratitude they expressed on
their capture at the efforts 1114 t were made to alleviate
their condition.

ratus.

It is understood to be the intention of Government to
divide the 4.000 Portuguese who are at Plymouth
among differeot towns in tle west of England. The
reason for this measure is said to be a consideration of
the impolicy of allowing so large a body of foreigners
(principally military) to be congregated in the neigh.
bourhood of one of our principal naval arsenals, and a
(ear that so large as admixture of foicign population
might have an injurious effect oa he mire character.
