Our Readers might sec that the report stated riga sews to have arrived at Comma on the 16th, w hile, at the same time, they might also see extracts Net the Corunna Papers of the 17th, in which ea mention is made of such a victory having bees obtained, nor the slightest report of it. Be sides, if an *Officer were waiting at Corunna for passage to this country with such news es the re port stated, why did he not come over in the Slag, Or sand o letter, which would have put the matter eat of dispute ?—This report is said to have been tgoegbf to Jersey ; certain it is, that it came from Jersdy and it is equally certain, that scarcely a single article of intelligeoco of a favourable nature that has been brought from that, et the neighbnuring during the whole Cootie of the war, has peened ca.. feet.

Basmece, in the Island of Sicily, for the pupae, of operating upon the eastern coast of Spain, to crates diversion In Lord Wectincrisn's favour. Miuistets, however, permitted Lord W. Betertnco to divert the attention of General NIAITLIND to soother quarter, teithoat over trltemptin: to term the teseadprqfrd Into extortion, until,in all probability, the time is gone by when that armament can be of tnY we to Lord WSLLINoron. Orders are now gone not to direct Geueral MAITLAND to sail. It should seem ) however, that part of this armament has been on the coast of Spain—why a part of it when the *hole would have been barely sufficient for what it was intended...for it appears from the French 'Papers, that Colonel sod a force that he had been organising, and had stationed near Monseeeat, have been made /trimmers by Simon. The fact is, lint this Is the very place to which our troops should hove been sett, if it *ere intended that they should be made prisoners. By the arrival of a Malta Mail this morning we have advice from Palermo, of the 6th ult. which says--" Last Monday arrived in' the loads 24 trasepsets, with about 6000 English inapt, which hew peoteeded to join those of the hrosr opeditlem" New, by laferestion we were alr eady(n peasessioh of, free a Gentleman who kit ea the WIN the eapedltlen had not sailed ; 04t be anderstoed k oat to sail a nest day. This Is really a mysteries* liesteess altepedure, and how our Ministers wilt aleph themselves to the *wintry, lit will leave them and their champions to find out. We are constantly told, by those writers who are bred to buoy up the public miod with accounts of victories gained viers battles have never been fought, sad with hope which an never he realized, in order to keep the tendoet if Ministers from being "Wetly 'oohed into; that the further X.troLtox advances Le mere likelihood there is of his army meeting with disasters,from Alum, orn daily gathering strength by felling back upon his own resources, but particularly from the difficulty of obtaining supplies, though it is known that Neettmean has a powerful nation in his rctr, whose intereat, as well as gratitude, Impel them ' to afford him all the aid in their power.

Tide principle is meet:raged in 'the Spaniards by their leaders; a. remarkable proof of which was exhibited assoiti the Corte, i n their Sittings, when the project for sending British Com. misairnsers to South America, was under consider. ation. The chief speakers there treated the name of England more as an enemy than a friend ; and even charged our Government with avarice and duplicity. Now this charge is either tree or false: if true, oar Ministers are the most base characters on earth for plunging the nation into such aigtelph of misery to support a cause, the foundation of which they are sapping by their own selfishness and dishonour ;* and if the charge be false, they are equally guilty, fur producing such Mal tonsequences to their OWII country,.
