The last dispatch from Sir ARTHUR WELLESLET
was pablidtedinthe4aaintiof SatUrday.. It contains
detailed statement of facts already known l but no!
intimation is given whether-Sir Antimit inegit to enter
Gallicia on the ordinary high road to Orense (Souir
having escaped thrOugh the raountaini)" ; or whether,
ds has been stated without contradiction, he is now to
retrace his steps to the South, iu order; to meet Mar-
shal VICTOR. •

The Marquis WELLEsr.zy does not quit London to
proceed on his Embassy to Spain fall Wednesday, and
we understand that he goet to Cadiz, not to Seville.
The recent dispatches from Sir Anna UR WELLESLEY,
and from other quarters, may have occasioned this
change in his destination.
We have seen letters from the South of Spain,
written by an English Gentleman of greatability and
paors'Ot gircrinnnation, which give but a very eqiu.
vocal account of the state of affairs in that country.
FroW one .of thesoletters we have been glowed to
:makiran exciatte, wlikh will afford much scope' for
reflection. If this representation be just, as we go
not daub! that. it ia,ahe.prospects of the Spanish cause
alt not so favourable as many sanguine persons in
thiffjOuntryare incrtned- to believe. For, it is evident,
that while those who are represented to he " dege-'
aerate and good for nothing," till the situation of
r;executive Magistrates, the people must be exposed.
to the consequences of their treachery or their imbeci-
lity. It is distressing to contemplate the probability •
.of.so.noble a cause as that of the Spaniards being
thrown away, for the vrantof, talent,'energy, and
svirtue :in their rulers; but We might nokto conceal
.;. ,c /4, /4. iVj

from the public (and we trust also the Government will
not allow itself to be influenced b7"delusive•hopes)►,
truths which call upon us in the most imperative
manner, to come to some sort of decision upon the
measures we are pursuing, and to adjust with cer-
tainty, the nature of our relations with Spain, present
and to come. Most ardently do we wish success to
the generous cause of Independence ; but we cannot
bring ourselves to believe, that in a country where
hereditary prejudices and habits distinct from those of
the rest of Europe, forcibly influence the conduct of
men, that a people, however brave and• resolute, can
ultimately prevail over the refined policy, and disci-
plined skill of veteran.legions, while their fortune is
entrusted to the management of weak, selfish, or in-
capable rulers. We are aware of the honourable re-
luctance•of our Government to shew the least colour
of interference in the internal affairs of Spain or any
other country ; but, if this be a prudent rule of policy
for the Government to adopt, the British pre:: is under
no obligation to adhere to it. The tuishackled liberty
of that instrument may convey salutary truths to the
Spaniards themselves, in which the regulated friend-
Ship of Courts cannot indulge. With this view, we
must again remark, that whet e a provisional Govern-
ment, framed upon ancient principles, is generally ac-
knowledged to be necessary, and proper to be obeydd,
the physical power of the Spanish nation must be de.
pendent in its operationOnd effects, upon the moral
character of that Government. Consequently, if the
Government be inefficient ; if it occupy itself more with
ceremonial formalities, and metaphysical discussions
upon pions of execution; if a groupe of lawyers wish to
controul the energy of armed bod ies by obsolete statutes
and ancient usages, while a mighty tumult of invasion
menaces every province ; we do not, we cannot hope,
that Spain will be ultimately saved. We regret that
our Government cannot give to the Supreme Central
Junta, the confidential admonitions of friendship ;
but, if they can be neither given nor received, we
must not be astonished at any disasters which may
befal a people who are the victims of the weakness
of their governors. The late events in the province
of Asturias but too fatally confirm theie suggestions;
and the following letter puts them beyond all doubt:
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MALAGA, MAY 4.

The affairs of this country appear to assume a
more chearing aspect ; but there is something so ra-
dically bad in the whole of the present system, that I
cannot believe it• can long go on. It is true that the
French do not advance on this side, but whether their
not attacking this province arises from the war with.
Austria, or from any plan to collect a larger force
than they at present possess, Ido not know. It is
very difficult to collect certain information, but I think
it may be inferred, that asthe enemy has carried every
thing before him by the celerity of his movements, the
sudden check which for the present opposes his pro-
gress, will in all probability baffle his future attempts
to conquer the country. The peasants are'truly pa-
triotic, and when well directed, make good soldiers ;
but the grandees and many of the better classes of the'
people are degenerate .and good for nothing. the
few Generals they have in the army are' .exposed to
intrigue and jealousy, and I am surprised that they
have hitherto been able to do what they have done;,
, as they are likely to have some experience, before the
termination of this contest, they will become better, it
is to be hoped."
EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED LISBON
MAY 25.
" The Phcenix is going to England, but I suppose not with dis-
, patches, because they must be of an unfavourable-nature, as we
know of nothing particular that has occurred between the two
armies since the French were driven out of Oporto. Sebastianio.
(who commands the force which Victor did) ha: crossed the Tarte,
above that part of the river (Villa Nova) defended by English
gun boats, but he lost, in killed an& wounded, nearly 1100 men.
The Portugueselought bravely; and a wounded English officer, in
the Portuguese service, was brought into Lisbon yesterday, by the
country people."

It appears by the Ninth Bulletin of the French
Army, that one division has passed the Danube, and
that the war is likely to be carried into Moravia and
Hungary. NAPOLEON says, that he is at war with
the Emperor of AUSTRIA, not with the King of HUN-
GARY ; and he strives by the most subtle means to
seduce that faithful people from their allegiance. He
invites them. to secure their own independence.

The unfortunate events in Bavaria and Austria
hive produced an unfavourable effect upcin.the cam-
paign ;in Italy. The enemy claim some important
victories in that Boaster. The Archduke JOLIN has
lost math grouid. The French appear to have made
a rapid progress through Carinthia. Their head-
quarters were on the 20th at Villach ; and on the
same day the light troops are stated to have pene-
trated into Stiria, and taken possession of Clagen-
furth. In the Tyrol also, Marshil LEFEBVRE is said
to have been very successful in his operations against
theAustriaa General CnASTELLAR.

The Dutch and French Papers, received on Sa-
turday, contain the French and Bavarian official
details of various actions with the Tyrolese insurgents,
as the Austrian troops in that district are termed.—
The advantages have been evidently decisive in far,
your b( .the French. The loss of the Austrians in a
battle fought on the Sth ult. is described as amount.
irtg: to 0,0003 n killed, wounded,
.and prisoners' ,
