PORTUGAL.

LISBON, Feb. 24.

The small-pox is very prevalent in Lisbon, and
on this account the leave to go ashore of the seamen
of the British squadron in the Tagus has been
stopped for the present. Small-pox is also very
bad at Coimbra.

Heavy rains prevail in Portugal, and along the
coasts storms have been frequent, causing many
shipping disasters.

The troops have been kept in their quarters for
the past two nights, and detachments have been
sent to Oporto and other parts of the kingdom. It
is also said that a regiment will go to the Azores.
There have also been several general and other
officers ordered from Lisbon to the provinces.

The Opposition journals wish to give to this a
revolutionary colouring, but the general impression
is that these affairs are merely electioneering tactics,
and of no real importance. The Duke de Saldanha
is said to take no active part in any of these

proceedings.
The King has lately given several balls at the
Ajuda Palace to the High Lisbon Society. The

health of the Queen is not yet re-established. Dom
Fernando and the Countess d'Edla continue to
reside at Cintra.

The Counteis de Pavoa, of the Pamella family, is
dead.
