A Lisbon mail has arrived this morning by the Afri-

By the above conveyance, Lisbon Papers have been re-
'hived at the North. and South Acne; ican Coffer-house to
'the 21st November, but they do not bring any news from
the army before Santarem. Accounts from St. Urges state
that on the 17th all was quiet there, and the lines were in
4 state to resist all attacks. On the 15th a report
prevailed at Alcacer that the tliguelites were going to be
tttacked ; in consequence of which, great confusion was
.b"erved amongst them ; on the 13th several carts from
',tlvatara passed arough Arraiolos.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We have seen several private leiters, by the Lisla..n mail,
this morning, and all of them confirm the inaction of mili-
tary operations. The contending armies continue in the
4ene position as stated by the last accounts. One of our
-ormants states that the Portuguese Government, which
14d made, a month sine., a decree that Spanish dollars should
°e taken at the value of 940 rein, and the sovereign at 4,140
have rescinded the said decree, owing to the mer-
tqants having glutted the Market with specie; in conse-
bence of which another decree bas been issued, that the
4113ish dollars and sovereigns should not pass for
legal tender. He also states that most of Don Miguel's
't"uP*, which were in the neighbourhood of Oporto, have
Proceeded towards Santarem and the Alemtejo. It is con-
litleted that the civil war in that country will continue
14 a length of time.
The letters from Oporto say little about politics ;—all
*ail quiet there.

Were employed last week to sweep the vents of a house in
High-street, and as it was a large job they were seen at
Work on the chimney-top at day break, whistling. In
the evening they descended, leaving, however, one or two
of the vents unewept ; and finding their own vents choked
they poured down a quantum of malt l,quor for the purpose
of regaining ventilation. They then resolved to finish
the job by candle light, and accordingly one of them
