STATIONS OF VESSELS OF WAR OF FOREIGN STATES.

—The Lepanto steam-ship Isabella Segunda, 30; Con-
stitution, 60; Brazilian frigate Bayonnaise, 30, with an
Ambastador, for China, sailed on the Bth; Constitution,
Brazilian frigate, 60 guns, Lisbon; Donna Maria, 30,
Lisbon, shifted her wounded foremast after her action
with steamer Don Luis; Serra de Pilar, 24; Vasco de
Gama, 74; Insurgent steamers—Don Luis, 6; Mindelho,
4; Porto, 4, and usual Portuguese fleet at Lisbon. Off
Oporto, Villa de Bilbao, 30; Le Cygne, 22; Conde de
Tojal steam-ship; Douro, 14; at Vigo, Fernando
schooner, 8.
At Oporto the English Consul had sent off all his
family, and was likely to follow himself, and it was not
deemed safe to land the mails until communication was
had with him. Das Antas and Salter were on board
one of our ships ; but the people in Oporto said that
there were substitutes to be found for them as soon as
the British force was out of the way. In fact, as it was
said, the embers might be concealed from view, but they
were there still, and the flames would not fail to burst
forth on the first opportunity. Groundless and absurd
reports of all kinds were afloat at Lisbon among both
parties. An encounter had taken place near Valenta,
on the frontiers, at the beginning of this month between
the Spanish regiment of Bourbon, commanded by Colonel
Puente Pita, and some of the insurgents, and it was
said that fifty of the latter were killed, and some
thirty prisoners taken, and marched into Spain. An
English barque, the Pathfinder, had been prevented
from entering Oporto by the war steamer Conde de
Tojal, which was cruising off the bar. The Jackal
steam ship left Oporto as the Madrid was entering, and
was again met by her at Vigo, coaling. It was stated
that an attempt was made on board the Junta's steamer
Don Luis (late Royal Tar) to sink her by opening the
lee cocks after her capture. The discovery was not made
till there were five feet water in the hold. The engineer
a Frenchman, was arrested for a second attempt of the
same kind at Lisbon.
