Yesterday e, erring, it was reported that a telegraphic dispatch bad announced the surrender of Jusor's army and the Russian fleet : another rumour stated, that a third battle had been fought, in which JrNo7 lost his life. Neither of these reports rest on any authority. This morning, it is reported that a vessel, arrived . a: one of the outports, spoke a sloop of war a few days ago, charged with dispatches containing a copy,, of the articles of capitulation, by which JuNo? atd.l his army surrendered as prisoners of wai- on the 29th That intelligence of the surrender of JUNOT is' on the way home, we catnot doubt ; hut we have re.: ccivea no accounts by the Ina% of this morninigiv ing countenance to the above rumour.

' Permit me to congratulate you and our country prosperous state of affairs in Spain. You course, learned the defeat of Dupont. I yet heard of any official account of the toss—the Spaniards make it 17,000. Be this y, the blow has been great, and its conic. must prove extensive. French have abandoned Burgos. On the they had concentrated at that point forty, men, including the army of Bessieres from -hich had just arrived.

May'we hope that in this attempt to ernancipate l Italy, no ideas of restoring the ancient order of things will be entertained. Italy restored partially to Aus tria, and divided into Petty States, would soon again become a Prey to Franke. The importance of such a couptry as Italy, containing a population paramount to that of the United kingdom, So rich in itself, and solappily sittlited s , united under one head, and en ' joying the. advantages of a Constitution at once foun ded on the principles of freedom, and assimilated to the 'pre-existing habits and prejudices of the people, is incalculable. It would rot only itself be secure again . st every. invader, but it would be perfectly com petent to preserve the equipoise of Southern Europe. Its situation would naturally point out to its Govern ment the same line of policy which has been pur• sued by Great Britain, that of preserving a balance. of power between the adjoining States, and a corres pondence of interest and aims would beget a still stronger bond- of frierdship than that resulting from gratitude fer favours conferred. But in order to rais2 Ita!y to this high situation on the seale•of nations, it is not enough that we should un. dertake her deliverance with merely sksinterested views. Our genero sit must be dnpl.tyid in a system of active benenceece, guided by' wisdom. We must heal those wounds which age's of despotism have inflicted ; we must infuse into its political body that health which, Rows from freedcim e and out of a garbled mass of flie r jointed states ' ," we must create one mighty stable ana •1 permanent empire. If we set out upon theSe princ , Ples , the enterprize will be easy, and the result' certain ; whereas, if we proceed either upon the timid maxim of respecting abuses, consecrated L; t ime, or upon thenar- I row minded one of dividing a country and a people into pens which, from their physical situation, and an identity of religion, language and mariners, seern I destined to form one great commonwealth, we shall I certainly have In encounter both difficulties and resis tance in our progress ; and even should we succeed in our object at last, it will not be worth the labour it has cost. In the one case we shall have the new- , awakened energies of fifteen millions of men to second our exertions, in the other we shall have to struggle ' against the indolence of the people, as well as the activity of the enemy; in the one case the result of success will be but a short and • fleeting triumph, in the other eternal glory and endless advantage. 1 Notice was yesterday received from Yarmouth, that some vessels from Riga wen.: in Ole Offing. • If this intelligen ce be correct, some relaxation must have taken place in the Franco-Russian sys,texte of opposi tioli to British commerce.
