We have Just arrived from Gibraltar having STOPPED
at Madeira and Bermuda. In twenty four days At
Funohsl, found the United States ship PortsmoutA
turned from cruise the Coast of Africa The De-
catur cambridge, aud Porposs, the coast and
the yorktown had gone to Cads for repairs A ns-
ttoHal salute fired from the Portsmouth on the
4th and tho day celebrated board nat ship In
most becoming style. The civil and military authsrt-
ties and the various Consuls were present The only
American vessel there. when left the brig -,
Captain Johnson bound for New York
We entered the port OF St George In the BermudsG.
to the perfect delight of the good people IL happens6
that the first United States war vessel thea
within the recollection OF the Oldest inhabitant had
ever entered there; and than this her Me-
jesty Steamers vessels Of mailer size than Ale
ghany had been inhibited by order Of the govern-
ment not to make St George their depot because a.
the alleged want Of water The peoted ppsaranse
OF large and long American steamer astonishsd eves
those Of the st Georgians Who for years had main-
tanned that such versels could safely enter their
bor and this practca illustration Of the truth fthsr
reasoning gave them unbouAded Joy
Ii had just the contrary effect upon the Cd people
Of Hsmton who had for years maintained tho oppe-
site their interest being different oonsoied
themselves by saying. that no ono but Yankee sailor
would think Of going into St George.n It 10 6xeA
fact however, that pretty considerably good sssA
Yankee ship enter that sarbor; aud moro than
that 1t Is really the easiest Of OF any harbor In
the group.
We were entertained. whle at st George by he
officers Of the celebrated AID Regiment Of Royal High
tho Royal Artillery and Engineers Colonel Andrew
In the most hospitablo manner merely mention shis
to shsw, that whatever may be feelings OF rivalry
In no Instance during our cruise have been met ~
