THE PENINSULAR MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY EVENING.
The Peninsular and Oriental Cimpany's screw
steamer Alhambra, Captain Joy, arrived this even-
ing with dates from Gibraltar to the sth, Cadiz to
the 6th, Lisbon to the 9th, Oporto 10th, and Vigo
10th inst.

This steamer brings 17 passengers, specie value
8,8221., and a miscellaneous cargo. The Alhambra
reports strong gales from the northward and east-
ward during the voyage home, with heavy sea.
The Alhambra left the following foreign skips-of-
war in the Tagus on the 9th inst. :—British.—The
Sanspareil, Captain Kay ; the Centurion, Captain
Faushaw ; the Ca3sar, Captain Robb ; the Colos-
sus, Captain Thompson ; the Exmouth, Captain
Eyres. French.—The Austerlitz and the Ph6nix.

At Lisbon exchanges for three months were
quoted :—Loudon, 53i paper over, and 53i for
money ; Paris, 530 ; Amsterdam, 4"4 ; Hamburg,
42} ; and Genoa, 528 ; with scarcity of bills, ex-
cept on London.

This packet brings little novelty in addition to
what came by the Avon. The preliminary pro-
ceedings for the new elections were just commenc-
ing at Lisbon when the Alhambra left on the 9th.
It appears that the Russian coolness shown in
in other places to the English, as contrasted w'
the French, had been also observed at a bP"given
at Lisbon by M. Ozeroff, the Russian ,t_.,oassador.
Out of five -English ships.of-tb,-nne only about
half-a-dozen officers were invited, and they were
treated with marked coolness i s the Embassy,
while a much larn•ev
—.inner of French officers,
invitedsaip-of-the-line, were the objects
particular courtesy and attenticit.
At Gibraltar exchange on London, at 90 days'
date, was quoted sOi ; Spanish pillared dollars, 8
per cent. ; Carolus, 25 per cent. ; and Mexican
dollars, 2 per cent. premium.
