Naval.—The U. S. schooner Porpoise, from the Mediterranean, arrived at Norfolk on Wednesday last, having sailed from Gibraltar 3d October, and Mahon 26th September. The U. S. ship Delaware, 74, frigate Java, and sloops Fairfield and Warren, were at Mahon when the P. sailed thence. The Warren had just returned from Alexandria, (Egypt.) and the Fairfield from the Adriatic, leaving in a few days for the Levant to relieve the sloop of war Lexington—officers all well. The Constitution had sailed from Gibraltar for Algiers, with Mr. Lea, U. S. Consul, and family on board. The frigate Constellation was daily looked for. The Officers and crews of the squadron were all well—no death among the former, from disease, having occurred this year. Several American merchantmen, bound to Cadiz, were at Mahon riding out the quarantine, required of them, by recent order, previous to their departure for that place.

Officers of the Porpoise.—Thomas M. Newell, Esq. Commander, Lieut. Wm. M'Kean and Wm. L. Hudson, late of the U. S. ship Warren. Richard Keenan, Surgeon, late of the U. S ship Fairfield, Midshipmen E T Doughty. and G. S. Core, late of the U. S. frigate Java; John C Wirans. and H. Booraem. late of the Warren. R H. L. Patterson, late of the Fairfield, Owen Brina and Wm. H. Brown. T. Alloy, Carpenter, late of the U. S. ship Warren.
