ANTONIO PIRES ALVARES DE MIRANDA,
Sec. to the CoiMcil of the Admiral:y.

The follow are extracts from Private' Letters :

" LtsaoN, Dsc. 9.—The French have entrenched •
themselves in, Santarem, from which it appears that
they do not intend to attack Lisbon soon. Several
fortifiCations have been thrown up on the other side
of the Tagus, between Coina mid Almeida, and,it
appears that we are to have a never7ending cam-•
paign. We are, therefore, ali quite tranquil here,-
and have no fear that the enemy can enter Lishon,•
as the English have secured its defence. The ves-.
sets which have lately sailed, have carried with them
no passengers, which shews that there is now great
confidence in the result of the campaign.

" DEC. 10.--An Officer arrived here from the
army. He reports that Massena has removed his
main force to the Piaius of Pomball, and only left
800 men at Santarem. Provisions are dear, but
salt fish is in abundance. All is quiet here, and
there has been no change of position in our
army !"

PROM ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.

A few days ago, we heard by accounts from
head-quarters, that ii. was likely the French would
remain between Santarem and Abrantes during the
.winter; and to confirm this we are told, that Alas-
sena had satisfied himself ith the command of the
greater part of' the river. If t hi; be. true, we are
likely to have a long•campaign."

- At Norwich Hill, bii Saturday, Doe. 22, there
was scarcely any tat beef sheWn, and the. Ilitieq
City sold did not fetch more than gs. 6d, per sti.l4-,
although for that which is of very vrinie q•,il,tv the
graziers can obtain tOs. per sto:ie. There was a
tolerable supply of fat mutton, which was Worih gds
per lb. The pens of store sheep were tolerably w ell,
filled, but the sale was very dull. Fat pork con-
tinues at the same value, 'lantern gs. per sti-ne, and
store boas also this week were cheaper. The. §lm
of lean beasts was very large, awl Marry' of them
were in very fresh condition. The Scotchmen,
feted them for sale 'at much cheaper -pi ices than kiSt
Saturday, but very little if any buSiness was transatt-
ed. The display of fat beet at the bat tiers' ern Ts
not equal tea that! of last year. There was
mutton,. and on referring to the prices, think ,
them not mote than the. .-,.razier bugiit to obtain.—
the *show 'of turkies and geese durit, g. the
has been veiy great, and such as is supposed not to
'be equalled in any town throughout the li-irigdorn,
Norfolk women being unrivalled in the management
of poultry. Turkies have averaged is. per paintd,
and great quantities obtained 14d. and some ben -
fowls even higher prices. Geese have readily fetch-
ed .t pd. Oa Saturday, howeVer,, the market %+ as '
glutted with turkieS, and the same fowls, tor• which
in the morning 14(1. were asked, in r:e aftei noon,
when the 12st coaches were going :iwav, -9d. per
pound would have gladly been taken. One wato.v-
:fidurer in the city sent 173 turkies to tiiends in •
London, on Ft iday and Saturday,-and on th.t wry at
one coach orlice,Bou hainiters Were received.
