| Fr 23 April 1841 | Portsmouth.— There is a report that the Warspite, 50, is to be forthwith commissioned here, for the broad pendant of Commodore Sir Charles Napier, who is to have the command in the Pacific. The line-of-battle ships, Edinburgh, 72, Captain Henderson, and Bellerophon, 78, Captain C.J. Austen, are ordered home from the Mediterranean to be paid off, and may shortly be expected to arrive. The Hastings, 72, Captain Lawrence, will leave Malta for England, for the same purpose, in May next. The transport Belle Alliance, in command of Lieutenant Densten, has put into Plymouth from Deptford, with naval and ordnance stores for the squadron in the China seas. The Fair Rosamond schooner has been commissioned at this port by Lieutenant Bulman, for service on the coast of Africa. The Bonetta brigantine, Lieutenant Austen, fitting out at Chatham, is to go to the same station, and to be at Spithead by the 23th inst. The Stag, 46, Commodore Thomas Sullivan, recently from the Brazils, will haul down the pendant on Friday at Plymouth, and be hauled into dock to be surveyed as to her fitness for re-commissioning. The surveying vessel Thunder, Commander G. Barnett, according to private letters, will be in England in July next, to be paid on, from the Bahamas. The brig Acorn, 16, Commander Adams, has reached Plymouth from the Cape station, and is ordered to be refitted there without delay. She left Simon's-bay on the 28th of January, at which date Rear-Admiral Elliot had not arrived from China on his homeward voyage. Rear-Admiral Sir Edward King, K.C.B., was daily expected to arrive at the Cape from the Rio Plata in the Southampton frigate. The Acorn brought no news. The steam frigate Salamander, Commander Henry, returned to Sheerness on Monday, being ordered for some special service forthwith. The Asia, 84, recently from the Mediterranean, is to be forthwith reported upon, for recommissioning at Sheerness. Several large frigates and steamships are in active progress of completion for commission, should any emergency arise. — Brighton Gazette. | ||
