The intelligencepf his escape and arrival in London, from the prison of is convent of the Eicupapians in Madrid, has also 1 been received; the circumstances are, not jas yet.fully known. Dr. Rule in communicating to the London Chritlian Timtt his escape.says: "British influence and help attended him in hisjo'nrnoy through Spain. The friendly consideration of Mr. Dallas also deserves the respectful .acknowledge merit of British Christians,. He, too, has acted in full accordance with the avowed principle of bis own government—a principle which has been acknowledged in Congress and is essential to the entire constitution of American society. The escape or re* lease of Mr. De Mora, rendered the letter of Dallas to General Dodge unnecessary; but. that could not be anticipated, and nothing could be more gratifying, than, to seethe Euglhh Charge d’affaire* in Madrid, and - the ; American Embassador in London, with many others in* both capitals. concurring to promote the liberation of one' Christian- msn,. and ho ‘not;their countryman, from.. the bonds of Papal tjrrannyin his own-land. .Many like occasions will occur for.the performance of the samo duty. and thjs speedy triumph ofhn inanity and mercy cannot but encourage all to* persevere.- .
