IMPORTANT FROM LISBON.

We have been favoured with the following extracts of
private letters, from one of the first commercial houses in
the City :
LISBON, Dsc. S.
Our Government may almost be said to be in a state of
bankruptcy. The people in some of the public works have,
for two or three days, refused to work without being paid
their arrears. However, with fair promises, &c. they have
been induced to return to their occupations ; but this
cannot last long, for they will discover they have been
duped, and the consequences concot be foreseen, for
should they succeed in getting paid, the whole army,
which is also in arrears, and much discontented, will no
doubt follow the example : there is not a shilling in the
Treasury. Exchange on London 441, little doing.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MEXICO, Of 28TH OCT.

At present there is no British ship of war on the east
coast, but on the west coast the Sapphire sloop of war is
about to take on board specie and bullion for England.
No apprehensions may be entertained of persons and pro-
perty of foreigners in any case: should changes take place
in the Government, it will not have any effect on the public
tranquillity. It does not appear as yet, that any Contract
has been made to import goods, intended to be prohibited
after the 17th Nov .

The Bolanos Mining Company will no doubt continue
to remit to England a large sum monthly. The United
Mexican and Anglo Mexican Mining Company continue
tbeir operations with increased prosperity.
CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Causal Market, which was locked up late on Saturday
ailernoon, and left off at 941 to 93, hu not as bright an appearance
this morning ; they opened at the above prices, but some sales
having been.effected, Consols receded to 941 sellers. A Malta
mail has arrived, but we generally have intelligence from that
quarter via of France much earlier. In the Foreign Market little
doing as yet.

HALF-PAST ONE.
Consols wbich bad a heavy appearance in the early part of the
morning, and were selling at 94i fer the Account have taken a
more favourable turn, and may be quoted at present at 95 for the
Account, with a good deal of business doing.—ln the Foreign
Market, Enna Stock has improved 1 per cent. Mexican has
lowered ; the Brazil Shares not so good as on Saturday.

Lwaaroor., Drc. 19. For then last . few weeks, unsay of the
papers have abounded with accounts of the revival of trade, and
indications of returning prosperity. We heartily wish these prog-

nosticatlons were trues but we believe there is Me chance of thisl
desirable result. The imports of Cotton this week le 4722 bags,
aad the sales reached 14,700 bags, at rather better prices, particu-
larly for American descriptions. On Sugar, only 476 bbds.
have this week beets disposed of, at former rata; with 240
bags of Bengal, at 731.6 d. and 1130 bags of Mauritius, at 545. 6d.
The trade bas taken 270 cubs and bags of Care at steady prices.
