yesterday, we have received .ondon papers to the
25d and Liverpool Of the day OF her sailing
Russian gentleman arrived at Dover on the
2lst Of April, with dispatches for the Russian
Ambassador. Prince Licven. These dispatches
it is rumoured, have conveyed the ultimatum OF
the Russian Cabinet with respect to the war In

london having been conhdcd 10 the French and
Briush Negocia,ors, General Guilleinnot and Mr..
Gordon.
Letters from Lisbon TO the 18th Of April are
given in the London papers. The elements seem

ernment against the happiness of that country.
4 he banks OF the Tagus were still under water,
and fears O! ilnine are entertained. EiglEy Bri-
fish merchant vessels were in the river seeking
carEpes OF fruit, but the rain had injured it that
few il was thought would be successful. While
the low lands were covered with water and the
soil washed from the roots of the young corn on
the uplands by incessant showers, the earthquake
which caused so much disaster and alarm in Va
lencia and Murcia, has also been felt in Portugal
In several districts the ground has sunk, and wa
Ter has taken The place OF fields. Between Alco-
baca and the Calaes, lake of considerable size
has suddenly appeared. The country people have
not yet been able TO fatl,om it. nor has any nat
tralist examined il. 10 know il il contains any ne
cuiiar fish, whereby TO discover its connection
with the Tagus or the Ocean.
Its estimated that, laying out OF the account

spies are thick on all sides; secret inquiries are
dsily made into the conduct OF suspected indiyid-
uais, and foreigners brought before the police
at Lisben and reprimanded for allowing political
observations to be made in their houses.

The VistuIa, it s related in Hamburger paper
Of the 18th ofApr, has broken lis dykes and over

LONDON, April 22.-The French papers ofSun-
Gay and Monday almost entirely filed with
the debates of the Chamber of Deputies, on the
report of sevenytwo petitions, for relief, signed
by 10000 propretors OF vineyards, who represent
the wine trade of that country as in the most de-
porable state. The reporter, NJ. Daunant, after
agreeing generally with the statements of the
petitioners, proposed that their petitions, should he
referred at once TO The Minister of Finance, the
Minister Of the Interior, the Minister Of Com
merce, that OF Foreign Affairs, the Commission
appointed 10 consider the Project Of Law for reg
Mating Potabes, and that for investigating the
budget. After a heightened conversation, in
which many Members took part, though there
was but one opinion as to the reality of the dis
