DOVER, DECMIBER 14.
(FROM OUR OWN COMBPONDENT.)

The proceedings in Parliament with respect to Portu-
gal have naturally created mud sensation here, and the
constant arrival and departure of couriers and dispatches
add to the excitement. On Tuesday the dispatching
nine or ten couriers from Califs, on the arrival of tho
steam-packet from hence, gave the alarm ; and yesterday,
when the English mail-packet arrived, there was much
amious enquiry for news.
The uneasiness extends to Boulogne, where the number
of British residents is very considerable.
Lord Seaford embarked this morning for Calais in the
Spitfire steam-packet, in his route to Paris.
