By the arrival of the Tartar from Corunna

appears that that important place was still in
possession of the Constitutionalists on the 21st.
The Tartar made the voyage to Falmouth in the
short space of three days. The following is the

annunciation of her arrival at Falmouth :
.
" FAL M Tit, 3 LT 25.-4-The Tartar, Spanish cutter,
arrived here last night from Corunna in three days ; she con-
firms the intelligence of the entrance into Ferrol by the French
without opposition, and also of the repulse of their army in the
attacks on Corunna.. On the lath alone they sustained a loss
of five hundred men by a sortie of the garrison, who were
headed by Sir Mural. WiLsobr, who was himself. slightly
wounded, and had a horse slain under him. The inhabitants
had joined the troops in defending the place, and when the
Parlor left Corunna the French attacks had been utter!rde-
featca with great loss. Corunna is stated to be *ell provisioned;
and capable of holding out for a long time.".

The Tartar also brought letters from Coruuna,
orrt one of which, dated in the night of the 19th,

e following is an extract :--

" We have had a very severe contest here between our
garrison and inhabitants and a corps of the French army,' which
advanced against this place on the 15th and 16th ; after having
driven in the forces, we had marched out to oppose their'pro.
gress. On their approaching the works they were received
with a tremendous cannonade, which did them much injury;
and before they could recover themselves, the garrison made
a desperate tally; and some severe fighting ensued, which
cost the French upwards of 600 men. The cannonade was
kept up during the whole of the 10th with great snirit, !arid
during the 17th the French made several attacks, which were
repulsed by the garrison with great slaughter. In leading the
sally. on the 16th Sir -Robert Wilson had his horse 'shot under
him, and before he, could b,4 remounted received a wound,
which, however, is not of a serious nature. On the 18th the
French commenced a very furious bombardment, which, hOw_
ever, was not' attended with much success, while the fire of
the garrison being well directed; killed and wounded a num.
ber of the enemy. Since that period the French have with-
; drawn farther from the reach of the cannon, and have been
employed in conveying away their wounded. The inhabitants
joined most enthusiastically in defence of the place, under.
taking the management of the artillery during the sortie, and
attending the wounded with the greatest care. At the time of
writing this the fire on the part of the French has ceased; but
we are informed that they are in the immediate vicinity re.
cruiting their forces, after the fatigue of the last three days.—
To the foreigners in this place the safety of the town may be
ascribed, as the systeM of discipline-established and the plan
acted upon .was solely their work, We understand that this
Iplace is victualled for two months, and among the garrison very
ittle apprehension is ,entertained that the French will sucxed in
capturing it."

appears from these accounts, that, although

the French had found it necessary to retire be-
yond the reach of the cannon of Corunna, they
had not actually commenced a retreat. They can
have no hope, however, after the terrible havoc

that has been made in their ranks, of carrying
the town by assault ; and if the severe repulse
which they have experienced should not have the
effect of bringing a superior force against them
frpm the other parts of the province, they must

be content to remain in inactivity before
Corunna.—Now is the time for the Committee
for managing the Spanish subscriptions in this
country to make an effort which may be decisive
of the fate of Spain. It appears that the inha-
bitants of Corunna, as well as the garrison, mani-
fested the utmost enthusiasm in defence of the
utmost enthusiasm
Constitutional - cabib. A liberal supply of arms
and ammunition, therefore, at this critical mo-
ment, might enable a force to be marched
out of Corunna, sufficient for insuring the
,
rout and destruction of General Bounces
corps in the field. We .entertain strong hopes
that that will be its fate, even without foreign
. ,
assistance. Monit,Lo is said to have been under
the necessity of didianding -the greater part of
his troops who were previously stated to have
adhered to him after his defection from, the
service of the Cortes. Nothing but the mani-
festation of a strong Constitutional spirit amongst
the soldiers could have induced him to diS-
misi them; and as many of their Officers

were endeavouring to re-unite and employ
them against the enemy, wti may expect
soon to hear of the assembling of a sufficient
force to advance to the relief of Corunnais
and to join its heroic defenders in exterminating
the assailants. It would be injustice not to ac-
knowledge the activity, gallantry, and skill,
which Sir ROBERT WILSON appears to have dis-
played under the critical circumstances produced
by the defection of Aloant.o, and by the mid-
den advance of the French during the confusion
and dismay which his treason must have occa-
sioned.

In Catalonia the Constitutional Cause appears
to be,still more promising than in Gallicia. We
predicted that the Spanish accounts of the ODIN'
at Molins del Key and other positions near Bares
celona, would be found to be very different from
those of Marshal MONCEY ; and accordingly
the subjoined official Statement, published by
SAN MiGutc, who seems to be aware of the
importance of employing the pen as ivell as the
sword (the one to dissipate the illusions, and
the other to combat the 44 slaves" of the .ene-
mies of his country), provei that the Spaniards
were victorious at all pOints; and that while
their own loss, from their knowledge of the
ground, and their choice of positions,
was inconsiderable, the losses of the FrenCh.
amounted to eight hundred killed and
,tw.
thousand wounded. .Mrpr.t, as we stated in _our

covered with killed and wounded ; the third attack was no less
fatal to hini; but our valiant troop's, wearied. by so ►much

slaughter, retired from their position in perfect order•
" The attack, directed by Lieutenant-General Lloberas,
much beyond the positions of Martorell,;:ild the same result.
The enemy tyke endeavoured to make himself master of theta,

and was both times repulsed by our musketry and grapeshot ;
his loss is incalculable ; death and terror prevailed in his ranks.
Our troops, wearied, and filled with horror at such slaughters

followed the movement of the other divisions, retiring in the

greatest order.

" The troops of the garrison, which supported and aided the
exertions of the Army of Operations, valiantly attacking the

awes on the side of Espulgas, and driving them from their pa-

sitions, have covered themselves with glory.
" The enemy lost in this memorable attack GOO killed, and
above 2,000 wounded; our position did not permit us to take
advantage of the confusion which prevailed in the enemy's

links during the attack to make some hundred prisoners.—
, Our loss has been so very small that it is not worth speaking
of, except to do justice to the-memory of fifty brave Spaniards,
who have sacrificed themselves fur-the country and liberty,
and as many others who are wounded. We have always
fought in advantageous positions. The_ army retired in the
greatest order to Santa Colonna without losing sight of tIlh: plate

and of Tarragon 4.
" The troops of the line, the volunteers, the 3liipulots, have
all covered themselves with-glory, which I communicate turott

to be announced to the heroic inhabitants.

At Cadiz and in Castile, also, the war on the

part of the Spaniards seems to be peginning with
a degree of ardour which has evidently been but
little expected by_ the invaders. The Mien jug
accounts spew that the Constitutionalists are act-
ing offensively with a vigoor and courage which
cannot fail to restore the confidence and to re-
animate the spirits of the national troops in every
part of the Peninsula, after 11w distrust and de-
pression which the successive treachery of AB's-
BAL and. MortiLLo was so well calculated to

,roduce :
