unhappy and degraded prince was at length permitted to retire to the palace of the tuilleries which long uninhab ited and almost unfurnished yawned upon him like the tomb where alone he at length found repose to be continued baffled about bv the wind a huge sea rolling onwards like a black mountain topped by snow broke directly on board to windward swept away the launch the live stock the

plates gave way he forerunners tackle were got to serine the mast but the worst misfortune was yet to occur a leak was discovered under her sternpost through which as she rose to meet the coming waves rushed in at every pitch an awful quantity of wa ter all hands were at the pumps and it was clear that unless he ship lightened the leak would gain upon them before daylight he men were fainting from fatigue and cold and wet and sank from their labour the ship seemed rapidly settling and the waist was an kle deep in water yet no one dared to sound the well lest those who already had began to despair should if the report were bad give themselves up for lost and uy abandoning themselves to their fate involve the fate of o- thers in the midst of this awful storm there glea med a pale

at midnight it blew tremendously and the ship was u der two close reefed topsails stan ding and laboringdreadfully about one am she shipped a heavy sea which washed away all the statboard bulwarks and washboards deluged the cabins which were near the com panion and yet in the midst of the hnrlybur- ly the elements the ratling of chaiis tables adrift which skined the coddy from right to left as the huge helpless ship rolled about in the monntainous sea welsted could hear the obbirg of lady brashleigh and the incessant reproaches of her husband for such absured timidity when there was not the

wild roarings of the m glity watcis not the rude elemental strife at whose mercy she was not the forked lightning nor the pealing thunder was half so potent as the storm that raged in her own mind that was the dreadful conflict of pas sion with principle as soon as day dawned and the wretched state of the ship then almost a wreck wa e- vident the master gave orders to commence lightening her all hands were turned up the bulkheads forward were knocked down and all hands set to work to heave cargo overboard the difficulty of getting at it as she was then rolling and pitching was great but after half an hour a chain of hands was formed art and bales and chests and barrels and cases weie promiscuously hoisted upon deck where the foaming waves took them and swept them tit to lc tomi f ilik ttkjcp all exeition- howeve appeared unavail ing and though the day had been expended in alternately heaving overboard and pumping the ship laboured just as much the leak con tinued to gain the men grew fainter and the storm if possible increased birds flocked for shelter to the rigging and the bravest sailor there stood still and trembled at 9 at night the master resolved if possi ble to wear ship without consulting or com muning with a human being conscious as he was that the experiment was perilous in the extreme and would in all probability be fatal he gave the word and in a momentary lull she went about without straining a ropeyarn hope beamed on his mind then those who knew not his thoughts felt increased apprehen sions for she lay in the trough of the sea rol ling gunnel under no sail set for none could stand the weather the small one used to bring her round was blown into ribbands from the stay till just at midnight a crash on deck announced the mainmast gone at one blow like the stricken deer she fell toppling with her yards and topmast over the starboard side she went about ten feet abore the deck and just above the mizen stay and the mizen- mast itself trembled like a reed as welsted clung toil to watch the work of havock a- bttve it was a scene for a painter the noise was inconceivable the night inky black the waves dashing over every pari of the vessel the wo men battened down forward were screaming for mercy and their cries were mingled with the clashing of axes used by the men cutting away the rigging by the gleaming light of a it- thornsdisposed in the most advantageous points and the stern bawling of those in command with which the faint reply of others who in the midst of the stupendous waves were in the mainchains over the side endeavovring to clear the ship of the wreck for the mast clung as it were lo the quarter and the counter heat so heavily upon the main top which lay close beneath it that every moment they expected she would be stove in at this moment three following seas again swept her fore and aft and a shriek of horror which overtopped the bowlings of the tempest itself announced some dreadful calamity all those who were forward were washed at one fell swoop from of thehowsand plunged into inevitable destruction even fanny was con scious of the increase of noise and a change of motion in the ship she rushed from her ca bin and caught the arm of her husband who was encouraging by his presence the hardv sailors in their duty on the top step of the com panion ladder sir frederick said

of spain have determined to send out an additional military force to portugal to the extent of 10000 or 12000 men in the city it is considered by many that the slate of affairs in the peninsula is

chaves failed when he attempted it before the rebels marched to braga on the 30th january which tbey occupied thence to guimaraens one of the richest and best affected towns of the pro vince and thence to within nine miles of o- porto the inhabitants of which were thrown into a state of the utmost nlnnn in the mean time however part of the constitutional troopp io beira were sent to the

spain this morning with some impatience as they last week communicated the fact of the rebels being in force in portugal which has since proved correct though we were inclined at the time to put little reliance on the state ment we have this morning a series of the same communications which represent the great success of the force of chaves marching upon oporto but they report he did not com mand in person that he is in a different part of the country spreading disaffection among the portuguese and inducing the spaniards to flock to his standard for the preservation of their country and their religion from the touch of the heretics the spanish forces on the lines of portugal to the southward are rep resented to be considerable in numbers but towards the north small and unable to disarm the rebels when tbey enter spain even if dis- possed to do so these letters say oporto had fallen they also mention the continuance of unpleasant notes between mr lamb and the spanish ministers and the continued re fusal of the king to acknowledge distinctly the constitution of portugal we have seen letters from cadiz to the 30th and from dif ferent parts of the south of spain to the same date the latter afford no political intelligence the accounts from gibraltar are to the 27th of january one of ihese letters say the south of spain is ready for a revolt if there was the least
