PORTUGAL.
We are happy to be able to state that the I'M
favourable reports prevalent for the last few
days. relative TO The departure of the Duke OF
Rr ganza from Oporto, are without foundation.
With respect to the position Of the army of
liberation, it is very true that there is great
want OF provision at Oporto; and that the
troops, in consequence, have been exposed to
the most severe privatons. The cause of the
Queen of Portug al, however, is not yet proved
to be absolutely lost; and the strong reinforce
ment OF men, and supplies of provisions, which
are now on their way to Oporto, may enable
the army OF liberation to return to their posi-
ton for some time longer. We NAV add, tina,
should the reinforcement oftroops aud supplies
Iof provisions, reach Oporto IN time, and there
is every reason to believe that they will, arrive
in time, Gen Soiignac will, without delay
make movement in advance, and change al.
together the principle eff the military opera
tons to which hitherto he has been compelled
from circumstances, reluctantly, to adhere. -

From the N. Y. Mirror
THE WORLD HAS WON THEE.

BY EsTELLE.
The world has thee-go thy way: I will not
share thy heart;
knew it would be thus and now am prepared to
part.
Slowly and sadly hare loosed each feeling from thy
hold,
And reconcied my mind at length to thee changed
and cold.
could not break with sudden force the ties so closely
bound,
unwound.
The world has thee, and know that in its charm
ed embrace,
The memory of the past will glide away without a
trace.
But il will leave, in after years, upon thy heart a
stain,
Which, even Lethes stream would fail to wash away
again.
In sorrow not in anger now bid thee this farewell,
And cali my heart to its own home in solitude to
dwell.
The world has won thee-I refuse to take thy love
again,
1t is not worth all it has brought of bitterness and
pain.
For tho in memory tangled web golden threads
wrought,
They cannot stand times mildew damps, with blight
and ruin fIaught.
And yet it is no fault of thine like all mankind to
be,
Mine was the folly to believe that none were like to
thee.
The world has won thee-who will say that this is
strange or wrong,
While hope is round thee, with her light enticing thee
along?
They will but smile my light dream that thou alone
shouldst turn
From fatteys siren voice, and all her hollow promise
Her promise, kept the ear in fortunes prosperous
hour,
But broken to the hope as soon as clouds or sorrow
The world has thee-go thy way; and drink
pleasures cup,
Slowly and sadly have taught my heart to give thee
up.
Hard was the struggle, but at last, with calmness
submit,
Tho none may know how deep and strong my sou
to thine was knit.
But, go; thy path of life bright, with thorness flow
ers oerspread,
Step lightly, lest thou crush their bloom, and mourn
their beauty fed
The world has thee'tis enough for me this truth
to know,
Which most ! feared, while trusting all, upon one
doubtful throw.
The chance was run-the sacrifice was but heart to
thee,
The gain nothing in thy hands, the loss all to
Take back thy love, for dangers Turk amidst its
ing smile,
And reclaim the heart once more, so idly won the
while.
