LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS BAY, Foua o'CLocw.
The statement of the quarter's revenue, which will
be made up this evening, will, we have reason to
believe, present a favourable return under the several
heads of customs, excise, stamps and taxes, sad will
ino quarter, wit tem-
pered with the corresponding quarter of 1846.

By the steamer Duke of Cornwall, arrived at Ply-
mouth, and the steamer Jupiter, arrived at South-
ampton,
there are accounts from Lisbon to the 20th,1
and Oporto the 30th ult. It is stated, that the Queen's
aathonty has been fully established at and near Lisbon,
and that the prisoners taken by the British forces had,
in great numbers, volunteered into the Royal service,
the remainder being sent to their homes. The Govern-
ment had issued a decree to the merchants, in expecta-
tion of raising a loan on security of the duties of
Oporto, but money was very scarce. The harvest was
promising. The ships Royal Tar, Mindello, Oporto,
and Eighth of July, captured in the service of the in-
surgents, were all given up, and are now nacoramis-
awned by the Portuguese Government. The Spaniards,
under General Concha, were virtually in possession of I
Oporto. A skirmish took place at Villa Nova, to the
south of that city, on the 27th alt., between the
Queen's forces and the insurgents, when about 30 on
either aide were killed. The Spanish troops had not
advanced upon the city. Marquis Loule was sent to
the British squadron by the Junta, to make an offer of
surrender, on condition that Oporto should be first
taken possession of by the Spaniards. It was thought
the English admiral would agree to these terms, and
that the Spaniards would enter Oporto in a few days.
When the Jupiter left Oporto on the 30th it was re-
ported that the Junta had capitulated, and that the
Spanish army had actually entered Oporto, the fol-
lowing terms having been agreed to :
lit. A full and entire completion of the four articles pro-
posed by the allied powers.
2nd. The forces of her Catholic Majesty to garrison
Oporto sod forts adjacent; the troops of the Junta to give
up their arms to the Spaniards.
3rd. The troops of the Queen not to enter Oporto until
evacuated by the allied powers; the troops and volunteers of
the Junta to be treated with the honours of war, the offi-
cers their swords and horses.
4th. Such of the Junta forces as wish to retire home
to have passports.
sth. Recommends to the honour of the allies to respect
the property of the inhabitants, &c., &c.
The Duke of Cornwall brings as pamengers:

falgar, Superb, Canopus, and Amason; and steamers Bull•

It was reported that Sir Henry Pottinger intended
wintering on the frontier. The Kaffir, still continued
their predatory incursions, and numerous robberies
were taking pls..e withih the limits of the British
possessions. Sir Henry Young bad left Graham's
Town, and proceeded to join Sir Henry Pottinger in
Kaffirland. The following is from the South African
Advertiser:

The intelligence front the :frontier this week includes
one principal feet, from which the happiest results, God
willing, may be expected—the acceptance, namely, of the
command of the Burgher force by Sir Andries otockenstrom.

PORT ELIZABETH, APlta 21.—Our new Lieutenant-
Governor, Sir Henry Young, arrived yesterday, and started
for Graham's Town this morning, about 8 o'clock, in an ox-
waggon, accompanied by his sister, the widow of Colonel
Peake. Previously to his arrival he had requested Mr.
Montague to write Captain Lloyd that he wished to be
received only as a private gentleman, and not as a lieutenant-
governor, so of course there was no address or anything
beyond the visits of a few of the inhabitants. His honour
seems to take great'interest in his government, and is very
solicitous for information.
