PORTUGAL.

PLYMOUTH, MArcu 26.—Her Majesty's sloop RC-
cruit, Commander Adolphus Slade, came in this morn-
ing ; left Lisbon, on Thursday, the 18th of March.
Nothing of importance had transpired there since the
departure of the last mail. •

The latest intelligence from Oporto was, that the
rebels maintained their position without the shadow of
a chance of being dislodged.
At Lisbon.—Tier Majesty's ship Trafalgar, 120, Cap-
tain J. N. Nott ; her Majesty's ship Hibernia, 104„
Captain Y. Richards ; her Majesty's ship Canopus,
84, Captain F. Moresby ; and her Majesty's steam-
sloop The:mix, Commander James S. A. Dennis.
Her, Majesty's steam-vessel Jackal, Lieutenant-
Commander George Western, sailed for Athens on the
16th inst. Her Majesty's brig Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant..
Commander William T. Rivers, was ready to sail for
Oporto on the 18th inst. Her Majesty's steam-frigate
Gladiator, Captain John Robb, was at Oporto, and her
Majesty's steam-sloop Polyph,mus, Commander James
J. M'Cleverty, was daily expected at Lisbon from
Oporto. A French 22-gun brig was at anchor in the
Tagus, and the flag of the Portuguese Admiral was flying
at Vasco de Gama.

The Recruit brings important Admiralty dispatches
and heavy mail bags. Off Cape Finisterre, between six
and seven o'clock in the evening of the 20th inst., when
under close-reefed foretopsail and double-reefed main-
topsail, she experienced a very sudden and heavy squall,
which nearly capsized her. She carried away her main-
yard, and used her maintopsail for a mainsail until the
yard was fished. The storm was succeeded by severe
lightning. The increased ballast has caused the Recruit
to sail better; but in consequence of the malconstruction
of her rudder she still steers badly, and occasionally
throws the man over the wheel.

The advance made by the English capitalists to
the Bank of France, and which is now in course of repay-
ment, has been geuerally uneerstood to have been 800,0001.
It appears, however, that the amount was 1,060,6004
which, under present circumstances, is so much the more fa.
vourable. Of this sum about 800,000/. or more is believed
to remain in this country, the transmission shaving been
delayed. .

" Tancred is a brilliant book, abounding in adventure and enter-
tainment, ich in descriptions and lively touches of character. It
bears the stamp, moreover, of inAlviduality. It has entertained us
mare than either Coniugsby or Sybil—and, we think, may stand
higher in public favour. It is. unquestionably, the most brilliant and
