WOOD, adverting to the distinguished services rendered by Lord COCHRANE ill Elle Mediterranean, has afforded us the most sensible pleasure, as it confirms, what we have con stantly insisted on, the propriety of harassing the enemy on their own coast. This gallant and enterprising Officer keeps the whole coast•of the Mediterranean, from the Py renees to Genoa, in constant alarm t and prevented. the enemy, in consequen , !e of his continual descents, from de taching a considerable body of troops to Spain, which they ~re obliged to keep for the defence of their owirvociat. We hope Government will be no longer indifferent to the advantages of this mode of warfare, and that they will give orders to the different Commanders of squadrons to follow , 'he example of Lord COCHRANE. We have frequently pointed out the ntility of a floating • army.
