sPAlN-Our hopes for the success of Spain
and the final overthrow and determination oi the
laves of ,yrants, from this devoted country, are
againe revived by the very lattering intellgenceIf
furnished bv the latest arrival, and which we pre-
sent 10 our readers to day. 1t will be seen in on'
extracts, that the scale Of victory preponderates
in favour of Spain and in addition to the signal
victory achieved over the French at CATALONIA,
hey have evacuated Malaga, and their troops,
have been soundly drubbed by the brave Riego \
in the streets OF Jaen. Riego was in full march
towards Madrid. and the happest results were
|anticpated from his operations. Thus, we see
affairs once more begin to wear more favoura
|ble aspect in Spain and we hope soon to hear
|of final triumph in their glorious cause.
