very existence of the Administration. 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

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.
