The MINIS'S= for FOREIGN AYFAIBS.—I have always taken
care to keep the Wallies of the Belgian soldiers io IlLezioo as
courant of all the news which I received. Up to the date
of the last despatches received from Mexico, no exchange
of prisoners had taken plow. Our agent in Mexico eontiostes
his measures, and I take this opportunity to reader bonny
to bis seal.

ment in eadeavouring to procure the liberation of our
usfortunate compatriots, and so far to repair the enor-

PORTHCAWL, SOUTH WALES, Nov. 2L
A heavy gala has bees blowing bare since 7 an (report&
Capt. Sadao, the harbour master), and damage has bees done
to the works at our pert. At about half-past 2 o'clock this
afternoon the lifeboat of the !idiot:id Lifeboat Institution
was launched to a brig at anchor about two miles from
shore. The efforts of the crew to rash the vessel were
most praiseworthy, but foe the time fruitless, as the sea
was tremendous, compelling them to land in a heavy surf
half • mile to leeward of this place. The boat is now being
tionveyed two miles to windward of the port, and will be
launched from thence so as to drop down ea the brig. and
will probably lave her crew.
BARMOUTB, CARNARVON, WIDITZSDAT NIGHT.
About noon yesterday (report& Mr. J. Jackie) a smack
was observed in this hay under low canvas, the wind at
the time blowing a strong gale from the soath.wert, and
the sea running high. She was evidently making for this
harbour, and had a signal dying ; but as no other boat
could get to her desistance in the event of her attempting
the be.,, and se there was no water for her to tome in,
the lifeboat belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution
was promptly manned and taken out through a very heavy
sea. By this time she was close to the bar, but bad tacked
ship to the westward, and was brought to an anchor
about two miles estride. The lifeboat boarded her at 2
p.m.. remained with her one boar and a half, and left two
of her crew on board to bring her io the nest tide. At
7 p.m. the smack's chain parted, sod it was with difficulty
