PENINSULAR AND GIBRALTAR MAILS.
The Oriental Company's eteampacket Pacha, Capt.
John Weeks, arrived at Southampton yesterday, and
landed her mails under the charge of Litut. Wm.
Persaer Newenham, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her
daus are :—Gibraltar, 15th July, 7.20 p.m.; Cadiz,
16th, 10.30 a.m. ; Lisbon, 19th, 8.30 a.m.; Oporto,
20th, 9.13 a.m.; Vigo, 21,4, 8.30 ELM.
The public: health at Gibraltar was good. A dis-
agreeable sensation has been created in the commer-
cial circles, by the failure of a Moorish merchant for
150,000d015.

Cholera had made its appearance at Cadiz, an artil-
lery officer having died of it after a few hours illness.
Lisbon is in the same bad monetary and commercial
way. The Vasco de Game, that was sent to Rio
Janeiro, had nearly suffered shipwreck at the mouth
of the river in a gale of wind through her com-
mander's neglect. The ship was dismasted and other-
wise injured. The merehaote of Li-bon have met
and subscribed a sum of 22,0001. to refit her, the
government not being able to do it. There is very
much cabal, confusion, and conspiracy to overreach
each other in die chambere.

Charles Albert was still ill at Oporto, and had pre-
sented an order, which be wore on his coat at the
battle of Novara, to Mr. J. Forrester, of the house of
Ofihy, Webber, and Forrester, as that which he in-
tended for him had not arrived out.

Our cvreepondent writes as follows:
LISBON, JULY 18, 1849.
Costa Cabral ordered the Duke of Saldanha to pro-
ceed to his mission at Paris. The Duke refused, and
sent in his resignation, stating that he could not
accept of any mission under the government of Conde
Thomar, a person so well known to be so obnoxious
to the nation at large. A copy of Saldanbee letter
hos been sent round to the 1 eading chambers of the
I progress party. his known that the king protects
the Duke of Saldanha. Wdilo the queen and the
Camarilho favour Conde Timmer. It is impossible to
say how this ruptu-e will end.
Money is the great spring of action. Saldanha
paid but three months' salaries, &c., to all employes
—in short, to all receivers from the govergment—in
the twelve. Thomar finds himself able to pay eight
oat of the twelve, but by means of a ruinous loan he
has contracted for 400 mates with certain Brezlinos,
they to receive 800 contoa securities on the revenue,
and with tilu/os. But even with this small amount,
sufficient scarcely for a month, it is well known that
the government continues seriously embarrass d for
want of money. There is no confidence in the govern-
ment, and they cannot receive the taxes in the pro-
vinces.

The revenue of the Lisbon custom-house from July,
1818, to June 30, 1849, was 2,449,678 doh,: 101 Fels,
during which time the custom-hose paid to the com-
missioners charged with the payment of the interest
upon the public debt 335,559 dole. 160 reis. The ex-
cise during the same time produced 882,163 dole. 245
reis. The revenue of the Oporto custom-house fur the
same time was 1,891,347 dull. 634 reis. The expor-
tation of wine from Oporto in the month of June was
3,085 pipes, and 144 of Geropiga.
It is said that the government are about to renew
their attempts to induce Dan Miguel to relinquish all
claim to the throne. _

Business is totally paralysed. Discount on bank no'es
38 to 40 per cent. Exchange, 541 milrea. Govern-
ment securities are merely nominal.
