PORTUGAL.

The Oriental Company's steam packet Jupiter,
Captain F. Meehan, arrived at Southampton yester-
day. and Isnd.d her mails under the charge of Lieut.
W. P. Newenham, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her
dates are • Gibraltar, Oct. 6th ; Cadiz, Oct. 7th ; Lis-
bon. Oct. 9:h : Oporto, Oct. 10th ; and Vigo, Oct 11th.
She brings 37 packages of specie on freight.
The suspected Spaniards at Cadiz and its neigh-
bourhood are being most suddenly taken up at all
times of night and day and shipped off for Manilla.
No reason is assigned for the arrests, nor any cause
given : 380 left Cadiz lately in one ship, and more
are to follow soon. Freights are in consequence high,
and shipowners making a good market of their ships.
A vessel with refugee Spaniards bad lately been
Dent out of the Bay of Gibraltar by Sir R. Wibon,ac-
companied by the Polyphemus, as far as Tarifa, and
as the Polyphemus appears to have anchored off there
the authorities at Algeciras had it that it was a plot of
the English, in concert with some disaffected trop'
at Tarifa, to capture and hold that fort, and it is
strongly spoken of in the papers. The Governor of
Algesiras bad communicated with Sir Robert Wile
on the subject, and had strengthened his lines of men-
tries round the neutral ground.
The Portuguese government have ordered tiro
frigates from the ordinary to be towed down to the
mouth of the Tagus as lazarettes anticipatory of the
cholera. Some sergeants and corporals of the troops
at Corunna, who were found to have been tampering
with other soldiers, had been arrested: one sergeant
was shot, two more exiled, and the remainder ac-
quitted. A civilian, who bears the rank of genera/
(an honorary distinction), took his passage home II
