This eoriviCtion is so v-ong, we understand, that dlr.., Ministers whom we have mentioned, and psrticularly Mr. CANNING, felt it their duty to press the ungrateful subject, though !perfeltly apprised that the Royal Mind remains unaltered; and thus rise Cabinet is likely to be destroyed upon the very principle upon which it was formed. The disappointment arising from this extraordinary ' change in the sentiments of Ministers, has produced mull uneasiness in a certain quar ter. and is the foundation of V/ITOIIII idle rus moors, with which the town has been agitated for some days. the Catholic Que.tion, we understand, has been also vyingly urged for some time past by a distinguished Preface in Iri land; but as the same insurmountable obstacle remains, a change of Mi nistry appears inevitable. In this event the late Ministers will be recalled to MS Mae kiT 'fi Cots. ells.

I A considerable sensatioi, was exalted, last morn ing. by the arrival of letters from Plymouth, dated the 16th instant, from which the knowing are es traas : •• Arrived the Plover sloop of war from a cruise in the Channel ; also the Ann hired armed brig from Gibraltar, with dispatches; sailed thence the 30th November. and on the following day spok- a squadron of five Portuguese ships of the line and a frigate, with the Royal Family on board, from Lisbon, supposed to be destined for the Brazils ; the ARM learnt from this squadron, that the French army, consisting of 30,000 men, had entered Lis bon on the 3uth November. , t Also arrived the Growler gun-brig from the squadron of Cadiz, with dispatches: she ,fell in with the squadron under the command of Admiral Sir SIDNIY SMITH, cruising off Lisbon, all will k ai:d the Sophia, Captain Bonne it, from Stockholm, with tar, for this port." In the course of the day these accounts slink considerably into discredit. Government have been informed, that the Aims brings no such intelligenCe. Neither did that vessel or the - (.4en/o: - go near Us bon, or fall in with the squadron of Sir 413unasis Statist. We therefore remain still ; iStirely in the dark, with respea to the state of affairs at- Lisbon. Sir &OMIT SMITH, we may venture to state pesi tively, is waiting of Lisbon, expefting to be joined by the forces from Sicily, under di , commend ti Hit Joon Moose; and whey that junaion takes place, every thing that can be achieved by skill and gallantry may be expelled. Sir Sous Moose left Si cily about the 28th of Oaober, with a force of 10,u00 ( men, for the purpose of co-operating with Sir S.

Lt fl tR STJCALIMI. (From the Wrokingtan Fointig4oo Sol We have taken some pains, says The United Slate, Costae of Saturday last, to ascertiia the truth of a story, which has been in circulation since yesterday, relative to the purloining of a packet of letters. The following appears to be the prominent fafti. Smite ' time yesterday, one of the branch pilots ream up to town, with a package of letters , which Ilk • had re ceived from 2 ii'itith armed schnorwr. off the Capes of Delaware, and which he was to deposit in the post.office. The packet was encidesod, according to custom, With the tame of VicasAdmiral Bei ke. fry, and addreised ii Mr Erskine* du British Mi slay, at Ph ladelphia. The pilot, ,ociea t i of taking the package to the post-office, delivered it to a person whose narr.e we Will not at present mention, who undertook to have it tales ears of. and who, as he says. was on his way to the post-office to depseit it, when he met with another person, who, tor the present, shall also be nameless. This man, who is attached to Tee Ames office, seeing the package, wok the person bpd posseuioa of it into the office, and the =we was sent into a back apartment. After a ps it Duane ease forward, and told the per . need give himself tie further trouble about the 'adage, lot that he (Duane) would takt care of it. en person demanded that it should he delivered to bis. but was refused. After wards the package was demanded in form by the British lionwl, or oy his olden; but Duane answered that it was no longer within his control; that it had been put under cover and sent to Washingtoo. Upon inquiry at the Post Office, however, it was ascertained that nothing of the Lod had passed through the Office, These tads may be relied upon as sobstaatially erotre.g. Comment upon such a transaftion would be entirely superfluous to men who have any,..or the usual notioris of morality or honour. -As an appeal will probably be made by the tainted party to the taws of the land, it would be improper at present to discus the subjeft is lit alewife. Yesterday, at two o'clock, His Ma,nsr Y held a Privy Council in the Couneil.Charnber, in Windsor Castle, which sat till hall past three.
