 LONDON, Feb. IT. :. We have been favored with the follow ing, the latest intelligence in town, from Portugal. A letter written immediately before the departure ofthe steamboat from Lisbon, dated the Eth Feb. states, e'An express has just now arrived from General Stubbs, at Oporto; the rebels are defeat ed, they have lost their baggage, and are flying in all directions. The reports are. that it is last effort, and that the num- bers did not exceed fifteen hundred men.'' A Parliamentary account of the income and expenditure has just been presented, by which it appears that the income is a. bout 955 100000, and the expenditure IS about G54,OO0,OOO. The surplus, or sinking fund, therefore, is about G1 ,OO0,- 900.
 Ar. Cdnning.-There is no denying that this gentleman has not only been se- verely but also dangerously indisposed :- but it is consolatory to add that the danger is passed, and that the Right Hon. Secre- tary is regaining his health. MT. Canning's lndisposition was violent rheumatic affec- ton in the head, brought on whilst atten- ding at the funeral of the late Duke of York, in St. Georges chapel. It was Mir Canning who recommended the Lord Chancellor to guard against cold, by pla- cling his hat under his feet. The Army estimates for the present year have been printed. They amount to the sum of G6, ,6O1 ,847, los. lid. being, within few pounds, the same as they were last year.
