HAVANA, Sept. BY the arrival yesterday
afternoon of the .Nitestra Sonora de Gduda-
fupe, in 50 days from Cadiz, the Editors of
the .iiercantH .NoticioSo have received from
their correspondents the Journals of that city
down to the Cd of August inclusive. The ac-
counts contained IN them of the state of the
Peninsula are extremely satisfactory, and at
lord The iIveliest hopes TO the friends OF ma
tional Independence, that the cause of liberty
VIII hnaliy become triumphant. Public spirit
rs beginning TO be terminated in every pro
vince, and the people, who have been hither-
| to indifferent 10 the struggle before them, be.
GIN now To feel for the honor of their country,

| tism which saved it in the late war with Bona
parte All the fortified places continue firm
and decided in support of the just cause, and
The national forces are rapidly augntn ming in
numbers, and forming themselves with every
necessary activity aud decision. In Galicia
the greatest enthusiasm prevails, and the mea-
sures which bave been adopted by the autho-
rites OF that province, have already produced
Effects extremely favorable To the public cause
The victory of MILANs, in Molins de Rey, is
confirmed, he having beat completely the enc
