We are extremely concerned to state, that Aft.
AIMAIL4I4 GOLDSMID died suddenly this morning
between seven and eight o'clock. The death of this
Gentleman, so soon after the decease of Sir FRANCIS
BARING, who, along with him, had the last Govan.
ment Loan, will, we are apprehensive, occasion aver
considerable degree of pecuniary embarrassment amort
commercial men in the city. As soon as the int&
gence reached the Stock Exchange the Funds begat
to decline, and at one o'clock Consols were 64 a RI
and 'Omnium as low as 9f, and still looking down.

The IDA: (1) hired armed cutter, which arrived*
Deal yesterday, from the Beet off Flushing, bmugis
in with her a Prussian Captain and a French Gentle.
man, whom she picked up at sea on Tuesday nigh,
in an open boat, in which they had made their escape
from the opposite coast.

They report that the fleet in Flushing is new coal.
pletely equipped and ready for sea, excepting a de.
6ciency of sailors. None of the men of war have mon
Ilium a hundred seamen, so that were there nothing
dye ID deter them, it is hardly possible that they can
Venture to put to sea. The deficiency of the trews is
supplied by soldiers, but probably with a view to de.
fence more than any thing else.
Great exertions and 'incessant labour have been be
stowed by the enemy to repair the works in the Isled
of Walcheren, which is now in a good state of ddenos
to repel any new attempt that may be made spine
it by this country. They are not, however, free free
apprehensions fir their safety, in ate of a serious op
tack.—The fleet under Sir EDWA2D PIILLIW made in
appearance a few days since off the Duerloo Chm•
nel—a circumstance which excited no small degie

of alarm for the safety of their new Beet, and Si*
inhabitants with terror.

The topics of most general conversation among
the inhabitants al the expectation of a general peace
and of a young BONAPARTE.
The folio/Wing letter from an Officer on bond
l'lstrxruzux, came to hand this morning :

" River Taps, Sept. 9,1910.

11 I have just returned on board, after spending
three days on shore, though not very :resantly.
The unexpectedly-sudden fall of Almeida has res.
dered Lisbon, which was before sufficiently dull, is
gloomy : the only circumstance that has
contributed to enliven the gloom, is the landing of
reinforcement of troops, which arrived here the day
before yesterday, and immediately marched for
Celerico.

" Lisbon is tranquil, and, to appearance, tolerably
secure :—it is, indeed, more strongly fortified than at
any former period ; and may, should circumstances
render it necessary, make a tolerable long dime
against any force that can be brought against it. la
addition to the old regular forts, several new cues
have been constructed ; and the marines from Cat
fleet, together with detachments of seamen, have been
exercised for several months past, ill workist
the guns and completing the fortifications, which any
completely circumvallate the city.
" Still, notwithstanding the strength of the Owe
and the resistance it is capable of masing, thermic'
iminant opinion is, that if our army (which Huns
forbid) retreat within the fortifications, plonk's"(
the city will be retained no longer than may be abso.
lutely necessary to embark our army and its adho
rents, together with such of the wealthy inhabitants
as may chuse to accept of our protection, either to he
conveyed to England or the Brazils. What strengthens
this opinion is, the retaining here, at such an ergo
mous expense, the large fleet of transports that sou
remains in the Tagus.
66 There is a packet here, waking dispatches ho s
Lord Wautunrox, and I shall keep this letter open
to the latest possible how, in the almost confident es*
pectation of receiving news of a general engar
which I twice heard reported had taken pla Prici
to my coming off from Lisbon; but of which noon'
firmation has yet been received.
" The wines have considerably advanced in Prise'
and every article of provision is very dear, with eye
exception of poultry and honey."
