PORTUGAL.

SOUTIEIAMPTON, TUESDAY.—The Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation ompany's ship Iberia,
Captain F. Burney, It N., Commander, has arrived
here with the usual Spanish and Portuguese mails,
and dates from Gibraltar to the sth ; Cadiz, 6th ;
Lisbon, 9th ; Oporto, 10th ; and Vigo, to the 10th
inst. The Iberia brings forty-two passengers, and
cargo of the usual character.
Lisbon advices by this packet have been an-
ticipated twenty-fpur hours by the Brazil mail
steamer Tay, which vessel left the Tagus one day after
the Iberia had sailed.

Oporto letters quote the rates of exchange for this
packet on London at 55 to 55/, with some transac-
tions in first-fate per at 54i. A good many Bra-
zilian bills,
.were expected by the steamer then due,
which would tend to support the present rate. The
revenue of the Oporto Custom-house for the last
month amounted to 183 contos, less 16 contos amor-
bastion of notes.

A'report wais current at Oporto that the Govern-
ment was about to equalize the export duties imposed
on wines shipped to America and England. The
precise intentions of the Government were not
known, but it was suppoped that the export duty
per pipe would in future be from eight to ten milreis,
while that on wines hitherto shipped to America
and other ports out of Europe has been merely
nominal. Shippers were consequently dispatching
large quantities previous to the new arrangements
taking effect, several hundred pipes having passed
entry for shipments at the Custom-house, while an
entire stoppage was, for the present, put upon ship-
ments to England. Heavy exports of wine were made
during March to Great Britain.
The cotton and woollen trades remained un-
changed.
We have no political news from Oporto, where
public tranquillity was undisturbed on the 9th inst.
Thera is nothing additional by this packet in rela-
tion to the news of a military insurrection in Portugal
"brought by the Tay.
