PROM Mg HAMPSHIRY TELEGRAPH, .nyvy 19.

Ilk Rosa' Highness the Duke cf Clarence returned
to Port-month at tour o'clock this afternoon, and em-
barked on board Ce Royal Sovereign, under the cus-
tomary tt•ii fleet manning yards, and proceeded,
in tow of the Lightning and Meteor steam vessels, to
Plymouth, where the Lord High Admiral will remain
voila about the 26th, and then proceed with the Prince
Regent and Britannia, to cruise off Scilly, where his
Royal Hig!•nes, will be joined by Rear Admiral the
Honourable Sir Charles Paget, and the squadron under
his command ; the object of which is, a desire on the
part of his Royal Highness personally to make himself
fimiliar with the relative sailing qualities of the two
line of battle ships, as well as those of the sloop of war.
the P-ar I, recently built by Mr. Sante, and other vessels
of the saute class, under the orders of Sir C. Paget. On
-his occasion, Vice Admiral the Han. Sir Henry Black-
wood, K.C.B. is expected to hoist his flag on board
zither of the Prince Regent or Britannia. The Lord
High Admiral is not expected to return to the Admi-
ralty until the 9th of August.
His Majesty's ship Owen Glendower, Commodore
Christian, which arrived on Sunday from the Cape of
Geed Hope station, sailed from Simon's Bay on the
lath May, and touched at St. Helena, which she left
co the 28th of May, leaving there his Majesty's yacht
Herald, Commander Astley, with the late Governor of
India and family on board, on his passage to England.
The late Governor of the Mauritius, his Excellency the
Hon. Sir G. Lawry Cole, G.C.B. and family, was ex-
pected at the Cape of Good Hope to assume the reins
of Government in Juoe, in his Majesty's ship Tweed,
Lord John Churchill. Newland:, one of the country
seats of the late Governor of the Cape, had tome to
the hammer by order of the Government, and great
retrenchments in 'ome of the public departments, espe-
cially in the minor sittattions, had taken place, and his
Honour tlie D poly Governor, Lieutenant-General
But Ice, was pursuing a system of the strictest economy.
A Constitution of the most satisfactory nature had been
announced to the Colonists. Trial by Jury had bren
estahli-Iced, Magistrates appointed on the footing of
English Magistrates, and things generally began to
assume a more pleasing aspect. Bankruptcy had not
been so general in the Colony as was the case for
some months previously. Several respectable mer-
chants had left Cape Town, to locate on the fertile
banks of Kowie riv •r, in picturesque appearance, to
the extent of Graham's Town, t•.qual to the boasted
parks of England, without any artificial aid to as•
sit nature, atmundina with game and wild packs
of hounds that often delight the localities in chase
of deer. Gaika, King of the Caffies, had a nu-
nitrous army on the frontiers, and remained on the
most friendly footing with our troops quartered there,
and settl:rs were constantly interchanging civilities with
him. The sable King Chaca, of the country from Port
Natal nearly to Delagoa. Bay OR the eastern coast of
Africa, on the one hand, to Carte country on the other,
had an at my about him of 15,000 men, frequently skit.
a:0111)g in the interior of the country to attack and sub.
due other tribes, carrying devastation before him; they
are a most powerful and warlike set of blacks. Our enter-
prising countryman, Lieut. Farewell, R.N. who located
among them at Port Natal a few years ago, trafficking
with beads and other trifles for Elephants' and Hippo-
potamus' teeth and gold dust, had been treated with the
greatest kindness and civility by Chace, who is a con.
summate tyrant over his own subjects, causing, in
some instances, flit; of them to be put to death in the
cow se of a week. Since the massacre by King Cappel
of axe Portuguese Governor, family, and troops, at
these settlements, on the banks of the English River
Delagoa Bay, the new Governor from Mozambique
has been treated very friendly, not only by him;
but by Maces:arm and Samba, and other neighbouring
Kings of the extensive Ely of Delagoa and the banks
of the River. It was in this river that his Majesty's
ship Andromache anchOsed in the year 1825. His Ma-
jesty's ship Sparrowhaysk, Commander Polkingborne,
was at Madagascar; Radama, King of that country,
was at his chief city in the island, with a force of about
at least twelve thousand men, enjoying repose after his
conquest of Banbalooka and the Chiefs of the south and
r.orth ends of the island. Radama, for eome.peconiary
consideration irons England, has nearly abolished the
slave trade with the coast of Africa and Zanzabar.—
The Upton Castle and Sesostris (homeward bound),
from Bombay, arrived at Table Bay, on the Ist of
April, end on the 25th the Alexander, Adam, from
km de Janeiro. On the ;Eh of May arrived there the
kroxell. f-om the Downs, and the lonia from Sydney,
and on the Bth the Sir Edward Paget, from Calcutta.
When his Majesty's steam vessel Echo, Lieutenant Bullock, left
Lisbon on the 11th inst. with Prince Pognatelli Ruff, the Sicilian
Charge d'Affaires. and Chevalier de &meow, the Swedish Charge
d'Affaires, and familifia, tke only AmEassador left was the Sar-
dinian, who was merely waiting for an opportunity to embark. The
Echo brought dispatches from Capt. Senoritas, of the Pyramus, and
from our Consulate there. It was understood that Don Miguel's coro-
nation would take place on Tuesday. A meeting of the British mer-
punts was held on board the Pyramus frigate, Capt. Sartorius
(notice of which was posted on the Exchange, and which had caused
much excitement), to consider the best means to be adopted
for their !witty, when they decided to remain on shore, provided
the British naval force Were still retained at Lisbon. They com-
plained very much of the depression of the markets, and the state of
trade, nu business having been 'done (or the last three months. nor
was there the least likelihood of a revival. Sir J. M. Doyle (now
limier confinement), had been demanded by the Commodore 4lapt.
Sarterius,) and the answer had been a peremptory refusal. Ebert
were patrules night and day in the streets, but everything was very
quiet. The Badger, 10, Captain Crowdy, with five of the Porta-
smear Junta, and a considerable number of refugees, had left there
three days before the Echo, and may be hourly expected. A large
&ruble bank French frigate was entering as the Echo quitted the
Taos. The Pyrainus, Galatea, Alligator, Harrier, Vigilant, and
Bramble, which were filled whit Portuguese refugees, were lying
,here. The Medina had sailed for the coast of Africa the day
preceding the departure cf tae Echo.
Letters from his Majesty's ship Tyne, dated St. John's, New-
foundland, June 14, state that she would proceed on the 30th for
tae coast of Labrador, and here remain until the latter end of oe-
'O'er, previously calling at the several ports and towns on the
toast of Newfoundland, by the Governor's order, for the purpose
of vaccinating generally, and to allay the apprehension of the small
Per spreadirig, which bad broke out at St. John's, and committed
mat ravages. No tidings had been heard of his Majesty's ships
item and Contest up to the date of these letters.
