and papers from Lisbon to the 7th inst, i
inclusive, which arrived at Falmouth, by
the regular steamer with the Peninsular
mails. The letter of our correspondent,
which we subjoin, will be read with unu-
sual interest
Lisbon, May II, 4 p. m.

minutes of the log book of the Portuguese
ship Condo de Palma, arrived at this port
from Rio de Janerio in 90 days on 9th
