The success or failure of the Spanish war has within the last few days become wonderfully narrowed. — The freedom of the Peninsula no longer rests on Spa nish valour, or attachment to the Constitution ; nor is it to be expected from bad generalship, or disaffec tion on the part of the French. The great, the impor tant question, depends on—the exertions of the Morn ing Chronicle. On the Editor of that Journal it remains, not oaly whether the Peninsula shall be freed from the invaders, but what is of infinitely more importance, whether Sir ROBERT WILSON shall be promoted from the ranks of the Vigo militia to the station of a Lieu tenant-General of Spain. It is known that Sir ROBERT entered into an engagement to furnish 10,000 men to Spain. Now the Lieutenant -Generalship of Sir ROBERT depends on his getting one-fourth of this number; and the only recruiting officer is the Editor of the Morning Chronicle, who communicates these facts and his own responsibility, through the me dium of a letter addressed to himself, and dated Corunna, July 13: " Lc is now settled that Sir Robert is not to leave this town duririg the expected siege. " Sir R. has the rank of Lieutenant-General as soon as Me fourth pout of the number the Legion proposed to contain is collected ; therefore I hope we shall get 2,500 men from England—they would save this country. The enemy are expected to be before the town to-morrow. There is no fear—everything will go on well, notwithstanding 'Morino is a rogue. " For Gon's sake say whatever you can to get men sent to us —recollect what depends now on 2,500 men. I would forfeit my life if the country is not saved by it." What a serious responsibility has•the Editor of the Morning Chronicle thus incurred ; and with what face can he ever talk of oppression, if he consigns a dozen millions of people to all the evils of subjugation, when he has the power to ens urc for them the blessings of that supreme good, the Spanish Constitution ! One of the Morning Papers, in its usual way of appropriating and adopting the intelligence, and even the leading articles of the STAR, without"acknow ledgement, has inserted General VILLACAMPA'S Re port to the Minister at War at Cadiz, on the defec tion of his troops, which we gave exclusively last evening, and insinuates some doubts of its authenticity. To this we pledge ourselves; and, were we not assured of its being genuine, we certainly should not enter tain any doubts on the subject from the argument of our contemporary. But we are particularly at a loss to know what the Editor means when he tells us that " the measure which VILLACAMPA called for and considered capa ble of putting an end to defection, was adopted at the very time that this application was made." Now ViLLACAMPA calls for no measure, unless, indeed, that the Government of the Cortes should dissolve it self; and this is certainly not the measure which the Morning Post allows as having been " adopted:' VILLACAMPA speaks honestly—he finds his soldiers, who have ample rations, no fatigue, no severe disci pline, deserting him ; and he comes boldly for ward and represents the alarming circumstances in which he is placed. " The evil," says he, 44 in creases, and hope diminishes; and as every honour able man invested with authority cught to express his sentiments with frankness, so I deem it to be my duty never to cease impressing on the Government the necessity of convincing the Cortes, that events shew every day more and more, that the conduct they pursue is in direct opposition to the manifest opi nions of the country." He goes further, and declares that, " A large portion of the people are convinced that it is the cause of a faction which we defend, rather than the cause of the liberal principles on which the Constitution is founded; so much the more, as it is now openly observed, that those who were most tenacious in their refusal of coming to terms, and who, having been prevented from forming a conspiracy, hastened the tempest which is sinking the vessel of the State, have been the first to place themselves individually in security againg it. If such is really the case in Spain, and there is strong reason to believe that the Report of General VILLACAMPA is not an exaggerated picture, it be of every true Spaniard to represent co mes the duty to the Government, that the real cause of Spain not lIIIMINNow making vigorous efforts to resist the invaders is, be cause the Government is unpopular, and has not the support of the People. As General VILLACAMPA'S Report did not ap pear in the whole of our impression of yesterday, we reprint it to-day. We have received a letter from our Correspondent at Malaga, from which we make the following ex tract, omitting such details as have previously trans pired through other channels : _ _ " MALAGA, JUNE Is. 44 For these eight days past, in consequence of re ports maliciously invented, and circulated with rapi dity, it was announced that the immediate arrival of the French and the factious might be expected. Their advanced posts were said to be at Cordova, and also that a division was in full march upon Granada and Malaga. This gave encouragement to a serjeant of the Regiment of Catalonia, who had been tried and punished for some subversive expressions, to seduce a party of about fifty-five men, stationed at Casa Bermeja, to rise against their captain, who had been fiscal in the serjeant's case. His manoeuvres were suspected by the sagacious peasantry. He was attacked and routed by them, with the loss of two or three killed and wounded, twenty-two prisoners, a• horse, various muskets, knapsacks, drum, &c. The honest, brave inhabitants of Almujia have begged, as a recompense for their patriotic exertions, the simple and modest honour of keeping the drum, to excite them when occasion offers to fresh feats of civic.valor. The criminal serjeant escaped, and fortunately the captain got off during the skirmish, and is safe in Malaga. Three of these deluded creatures have been shot here this morning ; the rest are under trial. On the 13th inst. we witnessed a scene here of consider able commotion, occasioned by the Custom-house Guards; their treasurer having decamped the even ing before, on hearing of the French entering Anda lusia, and carrying with him 5000 dollars of their money, they manifested a spirit to sack. They we►e warned to disperse, but their numbers giving them confidence, they continued manifesting an alarming alternative. By the spirited exertions, how ever, of the Nationales and regular cavalry, they were disarmed and dispersed, and those who were found with arms, on the approach of the national troops, were conveyed to prison, and perfect quiet was im• mediately restored. I saw two of the ringleaders shot the next morning, pursuant to the sentence of a court martial." Frankfort Papers to the 16th inst. and the Austrian Observer of the 9th, have reached us. The former contain accounts from Greece which indicate the al most immediate commencement of the campaign in Thessaly. The following are extracts: FRANKFORT, JULY 15. The very latest accounts from Greece say—" The insurrection of the inhabitants of the coast of Thes- saly, which has been brought about esactly at this moment with great address, by Greek agents, must have important consequences. It began in the moun .tain, known by the name of the Chain of Olympus, and has spread southward as far as Alassona. How ever the centre of the insurrection is Platamona, this being the point from which communications may be the most easily kept up with the island and Monte Santo. To the south, all the islands have taken arms as far as Lake Barla and the promontory of St. George, near the Gulf of Vol° ; and in the North little corps of insurgents have posted themselves in the mountains of Voluzza, Servia, and Demenizza, and threaten the road which leads from Macedonia to Larissa. 44 Mehmed Pacha, seeing the dangerous conse quences of this insurrection to the Turks in Thessaly, immediately sent troops to Olympus to quell it, and the insurgents, if left to themselves, must soon be overcome ; but the affair has taken quite another turn, Odysseus having taken the opportunity to commence offensive operations against Thessaly, as he had be fore resolved to do. Having passed the winter and spring at Athens, which he has fortified with care, he left that city in the middle of May, a sufficient garri son remaining in the Acropolis, which is in a condition to stand a long siege, and to protect against a coup de main the city, which is surrounded with entrench ments and a strong wall. Odysseus, at the head of 8,000 men, has advanced by Marathon, where he stopped some days, towards Bodonizza. Other corps of inhabitants, trained to arms, have advanced towards Thermopyla, under Zongos, Dyvonneotys, and other leaders. This movement has caused the speedy retreat of the Turks, who had hitherto ad vanced : they have evacuated all their advanced posi tions, and retreated towards Larissa, where Mehmed Pacha has concentrated all his troops, having re called even the corps which he had detached towards Olympus. Odysseus intended to proceed towards the Peneus and attack the Turks, who are there as sembled to the number of 20,000 men. But it is now said that a considerable corps of Albanians, which the Pacha of Scutari has collected, and, at the head of ,which he has at length put himself, though he before refused, is on the march by way of JOannina towards Peneus; while a very strong Turkish corps, from Adrianople, marches toss arils the same point. If these two last circumstances are true, Odysseus must remain on the defensive, occupy the mountains, and suspend his march to the Peneus." • NAVAL INTELLIGEgCE.

PRESENT STATE OF BRUNSWICK. BRUNSWICK, JULY 6.—One of the most remarkable periods in the history of Brunswick is approaching to its conelusion—the government of his Majes:y GEORGE IV. as guardian of the young Duke CHARLES FREDEvtICK AUGUSTUS WILLIAM. who will assume the government on the 30th of October next, when he enters into his 20th year. What has passed since the 10th of July, 1815, to the present time, will be recorded with honour in the history of the country, and is now most gratefully acknowledged. The very heavy debts contracted during the war are I'aid; the Public Academies have had additional Professors appointed ; the salaries of the elder public office's, in fact, of nearly all, much improved ; the buildingson the Crown estates and those of the Convents, which were dilapidated during the occupation, have been mostly repaired at an annual expense of several mil lion dollars ; the public causeways put in good con dition ; the environs of Brunswick and the City itself so much improved, that it is now one of the hand somest in Germany. The first wish of the country, viz. the establishment of the Assembly of the States, has been fulfilled, and they have been organized in a manner suitable to the present times. The admini stration of justice has been greatly ameliorated, the taxes consequently reduced, aed yet there has bees a surplus of revenue to begin the payment of thepeti lic debt, and a fund provided for the farther annul reduction. This has had such an effect on public credit, that the four per cent. bonds are at 103, and can hardly be had at that price. The inhabitants, therefor*, look with gratitude on the government of GEORGE IV. who, on his side, has at all times been satisfied with them ; as he has been pleased to ex press, in the most gracious terms, in a manuscript, dated Carlton House, 10th of June, 1823, in which he accedes to the request of the States, to honour them with his portrait. The people wait with joyful _expectation the Government of the young Duke, con fidently hoping that he will continue and complete what his Royal Guardian has so admirably began, and I in part finished. The Prince de POLIGNAC, Ambassador from his Most Christian MAJESTY to the Court of London, reached town yesterday evening. Mr. Secretary CANNING this morning paid the Prince de POLIONAC the usual visit of congratula tion on his Excellency's arrival, and his Excellency and Viscount MARCELLUS will dine at Gloucester Lodge to-day. Yesterday dispatches were received at the Foreign Office from Sir CHARLES BAGOT, at St. Petersburgh. Sunday dispatches were received in town from Lord AMHERST, dated from Rio. Sunday morning, the Rev. Mr. SUMNER, as Chap. lain to his MAJESTY, performed Divine Service at the Chapel Royal at Cumberland Lodge, Windsor. A little before three o'clock in the afternoon, his MA JESTY arrived at the Castle in his coach and four. The KING staid some time inspecting the apartments, and afterwards returned to the Lodge to dinner. Yesterday Sir GEORGE WARRENDER had a large party, among whom were— The Countess d',Ameland, Mademoiselle d'Este, Earl of Fife, Lord G. Bentinck, Sir Edward Codrington, Bart. Lord Leven, Lady Ponsonby, General Hughes, Captain Wm. Percy, Mrs. H. Baring, Mr. G. Howard, &c.
