Imh'jrtant ,Vt u rminati n cf th Advices, of a recent dale, from t'e Spanish Maine, have- arrixed at iH.iladelphi i ; and by tin otlteial intelligence, ue learn that the armistice cnnchnU d in November last, between the Pusidc it, Gen.

This wc belicvp to be the fact, yet not the ground upon which Holjvar b:.s thought it expedient to terminate the armistice. The truth is, the Uoyj) authorities had vir.latcd that treaty in a variety of xvays, and partirularlv it' keenitu: fl Spanish squadron at La Htpyra, in 1 teeth of an express stipulation. Of tt.e succes of the Patriots, in the cot. dm: contest, we entertain not the s! i i - t chub ; and that every mnn v this free country must wish them complete suecr is not less certain.
