From the first appearance of the spark of resistance among the rocks of As. tucia, up to the present moment, we have ee. pressed our opinion, Cud the Corsican Tyrant hall reached his highest elevation, and we have never doulecd of his further progress being arrested in But we respect too much those astonish ing talents, which have brou 3 lit Europe to the edge of total subversion tlrat regulated, impassive, systemetic ability, a Inch clisiractnires NAPOLICOV • even when he ovule appnrently most under the in fluence of passion, not to expect that he will exert gi ga iitic efforts to susteiw himself in hissictual elevation. Those who emeicire that the emancipation of Spain will be speedily or easily accomplished, must lasew little of the mean. , the energies, and the resources of the extraordinary man with whom they and we are contending. But to return— The prey peat in the southern and in the central p r o v i nces o f Spun is by no means so exhilirating as upon the Ebro, end the Guarlidaviar : Dv pox; appears to hold out at Anduj.ir ; nor does it seem that we can repose an}• absolute confidence in the assertions of pretended letters from La Msnrha, received by way of Madrid, and transmitted to Oviedo. cootaining accounts of the defeat of DEL, and the innisility of Fast* to'effect a junc tion with Dt:eotiT. We must wait for the next dispati lies from Sys ille and from CASTANOS, before ce indulge too itauguisse espretations from that quarter.
