ONE DAY LATER.
Our correspondent informs of the arrival at New York of the ship Silver Grey, capt. Baily, 32 days from Liverpool. The London paper of the 29th Sept. is chiefly filled with further particulars relative to the unhappy end of Mr. Goldsmidt.
Latest accounts from India were by col. Leith, who left Madras 8th May, in the ship Wm. Pitt, with dispatches. All was quiet.
From Portugal latest authentic accounts were of the 9th Sept. from Oporto one day later. It was expected then that lord Wellington would retire. We know from letters by the Vivid, whose arrival was mentioned yesterday, that the combined armies had abandoned the level country.---They occupy a line of posts on high and broken ground from the Tagus to the Douro; but no French troops between them and the coast. This position was selected to avoid the numerous cavalry in Massena's army.----The allies have not a sufficient number of horse to fight a general battle on an open field; but do not fear the French where the irasibility of hordes of cavalry to act equalizes the armies." Still we dread the issue, knowing that such large bodies of troops continue marching from France.
