THE PENINSULAR MAILS.

The steam packet Tagus arrived yesterday at
Southampton with the Peninsular mails, twenty pas-
sengers, and 29,9141. in specie. Her dates are:
Gibraltar, Dee. 26 ; Cadiz, Dee. 27: Lisbon, Dec- 29 ;
Oporto, Dee. 30 : and Vigo, Dee. 30. (lean bills of
health are now issued to vessels leaving the Tagus,
and pratique was given to her at Vigo, on her snivel
from Lisbon.

H.M.S. Curlew was at Gibraltar on the 26th.
The following is our correspondent's letter from
Portugal:

feeling of animation and confidence seems to be

Arming itself among all classes. The most laudable
measures are being taken for the relief of the suf-
ferers, and the hat of subscriptions shows some

Men. Many people who were formerly resident
a Lisbon, bat who for a long time have resided
elsewhere, hare sent large sums to be distributed in

The Jenks! do Commerrio mentions in gratifying
terms the fact that a subscription lid has been
opened in London for the saiistance of those who
have lost relatives, or been otherwise thrown with-
wit resources by the recent epidemic. The journal
`atm that already 2001. has been subscribed.

ceived by the nobility and gentry, and a well-known
grazier has offered thirteen bulls gratis to do the
honours of the ring. The picadores have also refused
restive remuneration for their arduous services on
occasion. Altogether there is no doubt that the
