PRIY.4TE. CORRESPONDENCE.
Communicated for the Philadelphia Register
z LISBON, NOV. 26, 1907.

& We are sorry to inform you, that on the
Esd inst. this government was notified by sir
Ky. Sidney Smith, commanders of the British
squadron on this station, that strict blockade
ofthe river Tagus was instituted,r and that he
had orders to enforce it in the most rigorous
manner. Never could this have occurred at
a more unfayorablc epoch. for we are not5only
totally unprovided with bread stutfs and other
provisions, but are also burthened with an In
cse ased population of 5000 men composed.
Of our own naval and military forces, collected
in this city or It's vicinity, and of the large
Russian squadron lately arrived in our river.
We are besides in hourly expectation OF the
arrival of the French army OF 10000 men,
which has already passed the frontiers-lhe
concurrence of these evils would reduce us to
the extremity of distress, if the blockade had
been general, but it is fortunately confined to
this river alone so that VIC may still receive
supplies from the way of ST UbegN Our prl-
ces for all kinds Of provisions will however
rise to a height hitherto unknown, and adven-'
lures from the U. S. now on the way here or
which NAV hereafter be undertaken must
Weld immense profit-Should the English
hereafter blockade ST. Ubes, vessels may pro-
coed for Figucira, a small port to the north
ward Of this abous half way to Oporto.
