This morning a general Privy Council was as-

A Morning Paper which has up9fi,all occasions
displayed. an, eagerness to censure the- conduct of
Lord WELLINGTON and an extraordinary propensity
to entertain the most desponding views respedling
the Campaign, has this day:asserted, with great ap,
pearance of exUltation, that the Ministerial Pape'rs
have altered their tone, and the last letters . from
Portugal are " not filled with the same promises of
success as heretofore." Now, supposing, for a mo-
ment, that this were the fad (which we dens') we
are entirely at a hiss to conceive whit ground of
triumph it can afford the Paper in question'over its
oponents.—The. opinions, the hopes, the fears, of
persons in. this Country respecting the result of the
'Campaign
,in .Portugal, must be founded upon the
accounts of those who are or the spot. It is ad-
mitted that the Letters were filled with promises of
complete success : surely
.then it is not extraordi-
nary that they should inspire sanguine expeCtations.
We must indeed do the Paper in question the jus-
tice to acknowledge, that upon this, as indeed upon
all other occasions; it has done every thing in; its
power prevent the .public from being diSappointed,
by indulging the most gloomy anticipations, and
even when any success has been obtained, it is
' equally ready to repress any exuberance 'of' public
joy, by, describitig if in the mostunfavourablepoint
of view. Upon the present occasion, holkever, the
Paper in question has been rather hasty in its at-
tacks upon its Contemporaries, because we are not
aware of any , alteration of tone in those papers
which are friendly to 'the present Ministers.
Speaking for ourselves, we can 54,,1y assert,
that - since the period of the battle of flusaco,
our, opinion and our language has 'been 'uni-
form. We thought then, and we think still, that
MASSENA, by crossing' the Mondego, and fol-
, lowing Lord WELLINGTON-10 the front of his strong
position aced with great rashness. We thought
then;_ and we think still, that MASSENA will not be
able to force the position occupied by. the Allies, and
that he cannot retreat without considerable loss and
inevitable disgrace. Our tone therefore has not
been' altered, because, our opinion has not changed.
But it is now said, that MASSENA is do longer con-
fined
to the ground which his Army occupies„
and that he has the- fertile and untouched pro-
`vince of Beira open' to him. We have'- never'
stated that MASSENA'S army was confined to the
ground it stood 'upon; but we do deny that
the province of Beira is open to him ;, that is
to say, that he can draw provisions from it to sup- ,
ply him in his present position, because the force
under Gen. SILVI-ERA, Colonels' THANT and Win-
SON, are in complete
.possession of that province.
Whether, if MASSENA were to abanden the whole
objed of the campaign, and, retreat towards the,
North, he could maintain -himself there, we are not
,competent to decide; but such retreat would be 'a
.most unequivocal acknowledgment of defeat.

It is' entertaining to hear the Paper in question
talk of MASSENA having the fertile and untouched
province of 13(-ira open to him.—Vntouche I !—ln

I,Auncir.--t'esterday was launched from Me ;srs.
WHLts, WtontAm, and Co.'s dock-yard, at Ll Ick-
wail, an East Indiaman, of 960 tons burthen. It
is a remarkably fine ship,. and is built upon the new
system, which has been found to be so great an
iniprovernent in naval architecture." It went into
the boson, of Old Thames in a very beautiful style,
and afforded great pleasure to a large Concourse of
spectators. This vessel is to commanded by Cap'-
lain Strti,DlLAyns, late of the IPa/po/e, in the same
service, Which was unfortunately wrecked off Mar-
gate, just on her, return. The name of the new
ship-is the Rose, in compliment to the Right Hon.

MERMAN.—A letter from Monmouth, dated
the. 13th instant, says—" About tight o'clock yes-
terday morning; two fishermen going down the
, river in their truckles, fishing for salmon, found
their net much heavier than usual, and, on coming
;to shore, they found it contained a huge monster,
the upper part of it bearing the exact resemblance of
a man, the middle of a beast, spotted like a leopard,
and,a tail like a fish, the hair ora his head green—
he has red eyes, and tusks five inches and a half in
length, and measures from head !to tail till:teen' feet
and three quarters. He is now 'deposited in the
Town-hall, for the inspealion of the cNrions.”
The anxiety OBLIONNPARTE to remove every re-'
publican symbol from the eyes' of his subjetts, sitews
that be leads a life of Miserable apprehension, not-
withstanding all the military poWer by which he is
surrounded. But he owes his seenrity to the hor-
rors of the fievolution,• which must still haunt the
memory of Frenchmen in general, not to the mere
indications of repnhicart principles. Indeed the
sight of those symboli of demobratic fury is• pro-
bably more disgusting and teirific to the people at
large than even to the Tyrant himself;' as they only
remind them of the dreadful excesses of political fa-
naticisin,• and therefore it might be prudent in
BUONAPAItTE to suffer them tto remain as melan-
choly beacons., But indeed; as he was once the
ready tool and eager champion of jacobinism, it is
not wonderful that he should be desirous:of remov-
