LMORNING POST.] ,•
We received last night, by Expreis, French
Papers to the "2d inst. They have at last brought
the termination of the telegraphic Dispatch
which night was said to,liave interrupted, and' if
it 'really contained nothing more. than whit is
stated, we are at a loss to conceive why it was
sent, for it mentions nothing beyond the occupa-
tion of Ferrol, which had been officially an-
nounced before. The recovered part only adds,
that provisions of all kinds had been found in
that place, together with some gun-boats, which
were to be employed against Corunna. It is
true, however,, that the French have on other oc-
casiont,• since the breaking out of the war, sent
several official reports of the same skirmishes,
With the view perhaps of increasing their import-
ance, but this is the first time that they have used.
the Telegraph for the purpose of repetition. Of
the latter a fresh example Will be found in the
Moniterir of Friday last, where a new dispatch
from Major:General' Gnilleminot relates for the.;
third time this identical occupation of Ferrell.
With this addition, however, that the Con§a,
tutional garrison, two thousand strong, had re-
cognised the Madrid Regency, and were left
in possessionuf the place. Now it is knoWn that
;au the Constitutional troops, had been withdrawn
at the apprbach of the enemy, and the town dis-
mantled, all'the contents of the arsenal having
been - transported .to- ,_Corunna.: Indeed this is
confirmed by thedispatchitself, for though men':
tioti is made of provisiOns and gun-boats;nothing
is said about heavyttirtilleryor any Cannon at all`
having been fOund at Ferrol:. With'eespecelo
the gun-boats we are also sceptical. We are
told that they Were to be used in the attatk on
Corunna, but when that attack took place
no gun-boats were employed,' except by the
Constitutionalists, and they did so much in-
jury to the French, that if they had pOS-
sessed. tiny of their own, 'they would most
assuredly have used them for their oiv'n protection.
—lf their employtheitt be meant' prospectively,l
then it is evident' that within a short time of the
date of the Dispatch,. or as late as the 23d or
24th ult. Corunna remained in the hands of the
Constitutionalists, and the enemy. had not ven-
tured to irenew the attick. This Oulldtitt states
that Morillo had entered Santiago, and was
marching with General' Huber and Lallecheja-
quelin to'attack Vigo, which had been reinforced
by,the tirrival of Palarczi with 1,060 men. Now
Huber was the officer who originally took pos-
session of Ferrol, and La Rochejaquelin corn-
Mended the troops that stormed Corunna. It is,
therefore, •clear that if. those two Generals are
about to attack viol Ferrol must have been eva-
cuated and alleperations against Corunna suspend-
ed, In fact, it is highly probable, that convinced by
the severe repulse which he experienced at that
place, of the impossibility of reducing it without a
large increase of force, which cannot at this mo-
ment be'spered from any quarter. Bourck will en.
deavoitr to redeem his credit and the lost honour
of the French arms by the submission of Vigo,
which he may conceive an easier task. The
same spirit and the same skill which he had to
encounter at Corunna, will however, we trust,
zneerand again defeat him in this fresh enter.
prise ; and' should he experience a loss equal to
the first, he will "then become unequal to carrying
'On offensive operations, and will easily be driven
out of a province which the treachery of Morillo
alone enabled him to enter.

Friday's French Papers reached our Office
yesterday ; but the war in Spain wears, latterly,
a different character. These Papers are silent
on their reverses, and present, in consequence,
little or nothing of any intelligence or interest.
The Moniteur contains a dispatch from► Guille-
minot, stating the entry of the triple-traitor Mo-
rillo into Santiago on the 16th; that the Constitu-
tional leader Palarea had. left it with 1,000 men,
retreating to Vigo, to which plue Iluber and La-
rocbejaquelin were about to advance with Murillo.
Santiago, or Compostella, which Mori ilo is said to
'have entered on the 16th, is the capital of Galicia,
265 miles north-west of Madrid, and lies about
midway between Corunna and Vigo. We doubt
entirely the advance of Morino, Huber, and
Larochejaquelln on this place : defeated and
beaten as Bourck's force was before Corunna, it
is not likely that any junction with Huber from
