Xtra, and so close to the Tagni as to afford the
gun-boats on the river an opportunity of powerfully
ed.:operating in the defence of that part of the line:
.The enemy's right is supposed to be at Lourinha,
and his left at Villa Nova, forming.also a line from
the coast to the Tagus, the extremity of . which cot
'that river is only at the distance of 10 or le miles
'front the right of the Allies. If this statement of,

I:histaiii of the Intern transport, in the To-

1"- I have just returned on board from Lisbon, where
I have been these 10 days.
,To give yeti a picture of
'Lieber, in its present state, is quite ont.of my power;
but never did I witness s 6 striking a contrast in so,
short a time.' All is now dismay, distress,. sod
spair, particularly among the mercantile body,. Olio ,

not more than a sufficient tonnage to bring off the

must ,fall it, the approaching general battle, of
which we-every hone expect an account. Never
did I behold-so frightful a picture of the mist..
ries of war as Lisbon now presents s. this fine
city is, in fact, one 'universal scene of misery, con.
/weskit, and distress. The near approach of I,urar.
ivy to the city, the ,destruction of the villages inks
route, and the.gentral laying waste of the country,
Ikea driven nearly 40,000 peasantry, as a last asy-
ism from the ravages of the enemy, to seek refuge
within,the city, which is crowded to exciin, In
every corner yon may behold groups of halt-naked'
and half.famished men, women, and children—
alt of Mein indebted for their daily food to the
British Commissariat,. and lew of them knowing
where to fly for shelter. Thar deplorable condition
is beyond description ; and, accustomed as t have
been to meet human misery in various shapes, the
situation of the unhappy Portuguese peasantry
surpasses any scene of distress shut has hitherto
pained my eye, or drugn forth the incolontary
sigh of cornpastion.'l.
