In the absence of
°real accounts from Poitugal,•
various reports follow each other in quick succession,
al.l of which, when attempted to be traced to their
source, prove to be entirely unfounded. Yesterday
e, erring, it was reported that a telegraphic dispatch
bad announced the surrender of Jusor's army and
the Russian fleet : another rumour stated, that a third
battle had been fought, in which JrNo7 lost his life.
Neither of these reports rest on any authority.
This morning, it is reported that a vessel, arrived.

days ago, charged with dispatches containing a copy,,
of the articles of capitulation, by which JuNo? atd.l
his army surrendered as prisoners of wai- on the 29th

May'we hope that in this attempt to ernancipatel
Italy, no ideas of restoring the ancient order of things
will be entertained. Italy restored partially to Aus-
tria, and divided into Petty States, would soon again
become a Prey to Franke. The importance of such a
couptry as Italy, containing a population paramount
to that of the United kingdom, So rich in itself, and
solappily sittliteds, united under one head, and en-
' joying the. advantages of a Constitution at once foun-
ded on the principles of freedom, and assimilated to
the 'pre-existing habits and prejudices of the people,
is incalculable. It would rot only itself be secure
again.st every. invader, but it would be perfectly com-
petent to preserve the equipoise of Southern Europe.
Its situation would naturally point out to its Govern-
ment the same line of policy which has been pur•
sued by Great Britain, that of preserving a balance.
of power between the adjoining States, and a corres-
pondence of interest and aims would beget a still
stronger bond- of frierdship than that resulting from
gratitude fer favours conferred.
But in order to rais2 Ita!y to this high situation on
the seale•of nations, it is not enough that we should un.
dertake her deliverance with merely sksinterested views.
Our genero sit must be dnpl.tyid in a system of active
benenceece, guided by' wisdom. We must heal those
wounds which age's of despotism have inflicted ; we
must infuse into its political body that health which,

tance in our progress ; and even should we succeed
in our object at last, it will not be worth the labour it
has cost. In the one case we shall have the new- ,
awakened energies of fifteen millions of men to second
our exertions, in the other we shall have to struggle'
against the indolence of the people, as well as the
activity of the enemy; in the one case the result of
success will be but a short and • fleeting triumph, in
the other eternal glory and endless advantage.
