Sue!i, however, is not the case ; the same people who, but a fortnight since. baited we a hero, mist conoemn as an imneeile, the C'ooqueror of Vic-nein. Whence arises this change The answer is easy. The credulity of the public was grossly excited to entertain hopes, which, in the circumstances of the case, seem to have beim visionary. Who excited these el.ituarical expects tintis Soule of the very !'..!itc,•s of Ncesp.yers, altentstely the echoes, the iitiioieers, and, to a de gree, the gitides of publit op: lion, who are now exhausting their brains, a id torturing the Eogiish language, for terms of invective against our Lest and our bravest absent Officen.

After the action, the French had, of dispos able forces, ten thousand at least, beside; live or six thousand Russians, and at least as many Portu guese of their party. It is too true. that, in the old Portuguese army, a very great number were fa vourers of the French. Lisbon so defended, in its present very tenable condition, could have held out for months. Where was our heavy or battering ar tillery for such a siege e Where were our troops to have their supplies of stores and provisions f From the fleet, will it be said ?
