THE PENINSULAR MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY EVENING.
The Peninsular and Oriental Cnupany's screw
steamer Alhambra, Captain Joy, arrived this even-
ing with dates from Gibraltar to the sth, Cadiz to
the Gth, 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
Fanshaw ; the Caesar, Captain Robb ; the Colos-
sus, Captain Thompson ; the Exmouth, Captain
Eyres. French.—The Austerlitz and the Phinix.
At Lisbon exchanges for three months were
quoted :—London, 53i paper over, and 53i for
money ; Paris, 530 ; Amsterdam, 471 ; Hamburg,
44 ; 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 with
the French, had been also observed at a ball given
at Lisbon by M. Ozeroff, the Russian Ambassador.
Out of five English ships-of-the-line only about
half-a-dozen officers were invited, and they were
treated with marked coolness by the Embassy,
while a much larger number of French officers,
invited from one ship-of-the-line, were the objects
of particular courtesy and attention.
At Gibraltar exchange on London, at 90 days'
date, was quoted 501 ; Spanish pillared dollars, 8
per cent. ; Carolus, 25 per cent. ; and Mexican
dollars, 2.1 per cent. premium.
