It cannot be mid that the opening of a Sessioa is not the totmtent. of all others, for a Minister to make a giand display, and human the country with an idea of his strength and stability. The tide of public opinioa is be, to set in strong against the Ministers, and they know it. Their expe ditioa. and then- rocket* may amuse Zattd dazzle fur a while, but the solid and thinking part of the community will soon rind, that what appeared a Are by night, was only a smoke by day. L7pon re flection will begin to think. that *Minister may be very busy di Mg nothing ; that the matching and countermarching of troops, and the sailing of ships, are no proofs of energy or *activity, but se they ay, combined with great results, and lead to great *rational. advantages. But what is the real valet of those ineaaures from which Ministers arro pal to themselves the thwarter of vigour and ener gy? They raised a ery of " No l'opery," which, if it hod not bee.a for the good sense of the public, would base probably produced a civil war. They surprised the island of Zealand, in a moment of mouspecting seearit:-, and boasted of their glorious success in the seizure of its fleet, at the moment t:heis they state, in their own Proclamation, to the Danes, that they had trent out an overwhelming force, that must preclude ail possibility of effectual sistaace. To use the expression of Mr. WRIT LILAD, they Ste a giant to slay a child. But in S& og this, where is the ragwity, the vi„,otir, or tne address ? Aay Minister that chore to incur Cm same dreadful ret2onsibility to the nations of Eaters, might at any time have achieved the tame lrisliant ette.eit. With respect to Prattle, ano mined to besiege that fortress. This convey ance has also brought some accounts of the state of affairs in Lisbon. It appears that a slight insurrection took place on the 10th of December, in which about ten of the inhabitants lost their lives; since that time the guards of the city have been doubled. and cannon placed in the principal streets and squares. Not a night passes but some of the French are march:red, and (owing to the threats of the inhabitants) the French have not yet attempted to hoist the French flags on, the fort. —Not more than ten of the inhabitants are ever suflered to assemble together in any public place. The Maritsa's., of 7* gnus, Admiral Sir C. COTTON, joined Sir SIDNEY SMITH off the Tagus, ou the 15th ult. We give this dsy some farther extracts from the Paris Papers to the etkh, which we received on Tuesday. Among them are tiso official Reports, which state, that the 80,0 tr, of the Conscription of 1809, placed at the immediate service of Govern meat, are for the purpose of prosecuting the war with increased energy, and for an attack upon England, Ireland, and India.
