days past, not the least spirit in the market. Consul.,

as yet we have no further news from Portugal. The estr
fette from Paris is of little import.

HALF-PAST o.la.

We have an exceeding blank day, both for inFornTatios
and speculations in the Funds, which causes a very great
dulness in the city.
The report of Don Pedro having bought a seventy gu'i
ship, does not gain credit, but his recruiting is going °rj
briskly.
The most important events we have now to receive fro°
Portugal will be from the imntycliate environs of Opotl°'
We do not suppose that the Miguelites will venture tv
storm Oporto, but surround the city, and cut off all 00'
municitions with the interior el the country, so as to Pre'
vent Pedro from recruiting his army with Portuguese'
likewise to cut off his supplies.
