LATE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.


FROM BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER MONDAY.
The British steamer Caledonia, Captain Lott ar
rived at this port at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, having left Liverpool on the 10Th utmo.
The political and general news by this arrival is
of no particular importance. The most interesting
fact is that of the Intervention of Great Britain and
France, with the consent OF Spain, to suppress by
force the instruction in Portugal.
The commercial news will be looked for with
much interest, and it presents some points which
will have much effect upon markets here. The
cotton market with few fluctuations and pretty
large sales, exhibits no marked change since the
sailing of the Cambria. The grain market for the
fortnight on the other hand after much variation,
closes with decided fall. American flour had
since the last advices fallen four shillings per
BARREL Indian more than ten shillings, and In
dian meal six shillings per BARREL and wheat about
shilling bushel.
The steamer Hibernia, which left this port on the
lst utmo, made her passage in twelve days. She
arrived on Sunday, the 18th. The u. s. steamer
Washington, Capt Hewitt, which left New York
on the same day, arrived at Southampton on Tues
day. the 18th ultimo, with one hundred and twenty
seven passengers. After taking two or three hun
dred tons Of Goals she proceeded, on the following
day, on her voyage to Bremen.
| The continued promising appearance of theg grow
ing crops in England, together with the suspension
of the export of specie, had produced revival OF
con6dence,and ease in the money market.
\ In Ireland the fever continued to make sad ra-
wages. The accounts from the principal cities,
more especially from those in the south and south
western parts of the Island, painfully distress
ing. The mortality is principally confined to the
humber classes, but others higher in the scale of
society are occasionally the victims of the Infection
| The feet and forces of the Portuguese Junta,
consisting of twelve ships of war and $500 men,
surrendered Internationally to the British blockad-
ing squadron off Oporo on the 3lst May.
