The tender Flying Fish, which had accompanied the squadron during the whole cruise, until reaching Singapore, was so much used up by hard service that it was deemed imprudent to hazard the lives of men and officers in her, for a passage around the Cape at that season, without considerable delay for thorough and extensive repairs.

She was therefore disposed of at that port, under the direction of the American Consul.

These two vessels left St. Helena a week before the Vincennes called there, for Rio Janeiro and home all well. Six of the crew of the brig Uxor, of Mystic wrecked at Prince Edward's Island, are also on board the Vincennes. Although the officers and crew of the expedition, have been exposed to every variety of climate, the general health of the squadron has been without precedent.
