SPArf 4ND POR7T.GAL. ratrATE CORRESPONDENCE. ZUINICROD, OCTOSEN. ST. Itxritur OF A I.FTTSK FROM AN OTTICEK 01 mon RANK, DATED 1.1910 N, OCTOBER 7. a Every thing is bustle and contusion here among the merchants, and paper money will not be token. The thousands of • peasants who are flocking into the town front the deserted villages, added to the full retreat of our army from Leyrie s to their lines near this place, has infused the great est coo.teritation amongst those who do not under stand that this retreat rustle by Lord ‘Vellingtnii is one of the must able mriumuvres ever practised, and which has completely deceived the French, who are dose at his heels, thinking that his Lordship is in full retreat to embark at Lisbon. The conse quence of this is, that the French are coming on with a few days' biscuit, and with a determination, as they say, to drive the British into the sea. The battle must be fought in a few days, and I firmly believe that hardly a Frenchman will escape the bayonets of the British and Portuguese, butte of whom are in the highest spirits, and confident of success. All the British troop, escept a few, hate joined from Cadiz ; othiirs have arrived yestertLy from Britain, and Lord Wellington's army is now fully egoist to the glorious ta►k of expelling the in vaders."

The French have several strong bAtte ries on every side. and are working very Lindy in readering their means both of attaek and defence more formidable. Their shot and shells can both reach the town, but the distance is so considerable, that they produce little or no effect, and can never bezoine really formidable. However, ne and the Spaniards are far from being idle. The French working parties are always annoyed as mom as they appear. and our shot is Awns:, during every hour of the day. eying among them. They return the fire, but. from what reason' I know not (some al lege from want of ammunition), we tire at blast three shot for their one. They are making very slow progress, and it is believed by the best judges that the island is completely iropregaaLle. air its high spirits, and do nut consider ourselves in any serious danger. • •` The go•ol weirs which you have doubtless heard before this letter can re•+ch you. from both Tarra gon% and Portugal, of the defeat and distresses of the Frer.w:lt, have given our good (rim's, the inha bitants here, much joy and increased confidence.
