ordered to pray, that the senseless cry may
be rung from one end of the kingdom to the

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.

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. SMITs. .

(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, ,ocieati 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 itDuane 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.
