Portugal The Lord Nelson, merchant ves.-
sci, which left Lisbon the 18th instant, brings an
account Of the capture OF the Lord Of the Isles,
steam vessel, on the night of the l lth. by gun
brig. with 40 men on board, belonging to the
Queen. The steam.vesseI was chartered from
this country, for the service of Miguel, and car
ried out from Is to 80 French officers, who are
presumed, for the account is silent respecting
them, to have been landed at st. Martinipo, in
which harbor the capture was effected, the vessel
having subsequently been carried into the Tagus
as a lawful prize. The captain of the Lord of
the Isles, is said TO have memorialiZed Lord Will
liam Russell on the subject of the capture, claim
ing the vessel as of English ownership; but he
had not received any attention. The vessel will
be an acquisition Of some value for the service of
the Queen; but seems to have had no warlike
stores or any articles Of value on board. In the
same letter which furnishes this intelligence, it 10
stated that another attack was made on Lisbon
on the 14th, in which the Miguelites were repul.
sed with a loss OF 1000 men; but il has not OBJ
tanned much credit; and, at all events, requires
confirmation. No other letters have been re-
ceived by the Lord Nelson; but there is nothing
remarkable in this. as few persons write by the
merchantmen, since the employment Of steam
packets on the Lisbon station.
The news from the continent is no later, Of
course, than our previous advices; but the late
hour at which we received our French papers
YESTERDAY left Us little time, and less space, to
use them. We shall now attempt to supply de.
licences. And first, Of
PORTUGAL
respecting which we have hardly done justice for
aday or two past. Weinsert above letter from
our London Correspondent, in which second
attack upon Lisbon is spoken Of as having been
made by the Miguelites, on the 18th of Septem.
Der. Little confidence, however, was placed in
the report by our corresponds MT himself; nor wa.
his incredulity amiss, since We find by a post
script Of the Courier Of the same evening the an.
neuncemeUt Of Lisbon letters to the 18th of Sen.
TENDER inclusive. C1pfo that date affairs re.
fsaiaed tranquii, no further attack or demonstra.
tion having been made By Gen. Bourmonf
The reported capture Of the steamboat Lord Of
the Isles, by two Of the Queens ships, spoken of
by our correspondent, is confirmed. This ves-
ssf had on board twenty seven French Officers
Who were going ont to join Marshal Bourmoot,
and was also heavily laden with ammunition and
xarlike stores. II is likewise stated that
small schooner laden with shot had shared q 81
milar fate.
