The Eastern papers received by the last mail afford extracts from the London t,rints u n to the 25th, and from Liverpool
to the 30th July. The cause of Spanish independence is not yd desperatebut, on the contrary, is upheld with such vigour as merits, and in all probability will j
ensure success. Corunni, heretofore commemorated by the death of sir John Moore in the arms of victory, has again witnessed the energetic display of British valor, excited in the cause of liberty. The French were defeated on the 15th and 16th of July, before Corunna, with great loss, by the Spaniards under the command of Quiroga & sir II. Wilson. Tin? nt the head nf 0000 mpn. nftpp
having defeated the French before Barce-!
lona, in seeral engagements, was match- ; ing into the higher Catalonia and would
then be enabled to cut oft the French from their communication with France. The army of reserve at Cadiz, were successful in several attacks on the lines of the French army before that place. Guerillas were encreasin throughout the whole extent of Spain. The cortes were continually engaged in their legislative duties and, notwithstanding the desertion of O'Donncl U. Morillo, the cause of Spain, defended by Quiroga, Wilson, IVlina, Hallasteros, Lopez, Banos, Zavas, and innumerable chiefs of guerillas, will triumph. The experience of history teaches, that Spain, if true to iiBelf, cannot be conquered. The physical obstacles presented by the face of the country, cut up by extensive ranges of mountains, and traversed by many broad and rapid streams, are almost insurmountable. But the obstacles presented by moral causes, are of greater and more permanent consequence The French will discover their most powerful enemy in the character of the Spanish people and unless this can be overcome, their conquest will never be secure, and
opposition will never cease. Perseverance, and vigilance in their undertakings a passion for glory love of country deliberate valor and great grav ity of deportment, arc traits of character by which the inhabitants of the Peninsula, have, in every age been distinguished. ' From the age of Scipio, to the reign of Augustus, during a space of 200 years, the Iberians contended with the mistress of the vTorld for liberty. Numantia and Seguntum, proved the valor, intrepidity, and constancy of the nation while the long and successful career of iriatus, exhibited the patriotism, the genius, and the perseverance, and vigilance of the Spanish character in the strongest light. The Saracens overran the country, seized on the fortified towns, and expelled the natives from the plains. But in the recesses of their mountains the Spaniards nourished the flame of liberty. After a contest of 800 years duration, the fortunes of Ferdinand and Issabella prevailed, and the Saracens of Grenada, became the slaves of the united crown of Castile h Arragon. Prosperity enabled the sovereigns of Spain to deprive the nation of its liber tics. Under Charles the 5th, and the 2d and 3d Phillip, Europe was threatened with universal conquest and the liber ties' of their Spanish subjects were gradually subverted. But although the despotism of the government, and of the religion of Spain the tyranny of the monarch, and of the inquisition, extinguished the rays of science, which in the 16th century .illuminated the European horizon. Although the banishment of the Jews, and the expulsion of the Moors, deprived the monarchy of the sinews of its power, its merchants, manufacturers and artizans. Although the rapid fortunes made bv adventurers to America & the Indies, brought agriculture, and the slow gains of every species of honest industry into disrepute, and the great excitement to emigration, almost depopulated the country yet the Spanish character was unchanged. In America, and in Asin. in Italv. France, Germany, and in
the low countries, the same gravity of
demeanor, the same vigilance, and perseverance in their undertakings the same passion for glory, and devotion to their country's cause and the same vigour and deliberate valor in the field, and wisdom at the council board, continued to identify the natives of Spain. And have they changed? The Numatians were out done bv the heroic defence of Saragossa.
In Quiroga, the mountaneers of Asturi-
os and of Gahcia, mav recognize a successor of their own Paladin And the same spirit that formerly inspired Gon-
salvo of Cordova, and the Toledo's, now excites Mina, Ballasteros and Z lyas, and their compatriots in arms,to defend the liberties of their countrymen, and the in
dependence of their nation. Can such C
people be conquered ? Experience proves the utter impossibility. teu re haute, September 24. Two men were apprehended in this place last evening, for passing counterfeit bank notes. It is said, they have dealt out their money pretty largely to some of our citizens they are now before Esqr. Wood for examination. Western Reg. Surrender of Matrucaibo.By the brig Gleaner, arrived yesterday from Rio de la Hach, we have received a full cor.firma-! tion of the capture of the Spanish squadron on the lake of Maracaibo ; and learn that Morales sued for a capitulation on the 4th of August, which was granted, and is as follows ; Maracaibo and the fort St. Charles, to be delivered up, with all the vessels in port. Morales and his officers, and Spanish born soldiers, to be conveyed to Cuba, they engaging never to serve against Columbia. The surrender of Morales is due to the exertions of general Manrique who commanded the land forces, and to gen. Pudilla, the commander of the sea forces. The engagement took place between the fleets on the 24th July the action las ted from 11am when it was decided in favor of the Colombians of the whole ot the Spanish squadron only two vessels making their escape. The loss of the Spaniards was 500 slain or drowned, and 400 prisoners, among the number were 75 officers. One brig, and two herm. brigs were blown up six schrs. and a number of flccheras taken the Colombians had 40 killed and 119 wounded. A letter from capt. Chrystic of the Co lombian ship Bolivar, says, that on the part of the patriots, the only serious misfortune that befel them was the blowing up of the schr. Spartan, capt. Blocki with a crew of 150 men. Merc. Adv. The correspondent of the Charlestown Guz writes from Matanzas, on the 20th Auir at which time the U. States, schr.
Grampus, capt. Gregory, was still there and would remain some time longer. He describes the whole island of Cuba as in a state bordering on revolution. He thinks
it morally certain that it Spain lose her in dependence, the people of Cuba will immediately declare themselves an independent government, as they are determined not to give up the liberal constitution under which they live, nor yield to others that power with which their situation and resources have so amply provided them. The government of Cuba, however, was
still energetic, and several persons, for
various public causes, had been arrested.
Matanzas was still sickly, as the death of
several valuable officers has testified. Bait. Pat. Bell's Weekly Messenger of the 7th
July, says; " Wc have long made up
our minds that Canada is not worth the expence it costs us; St that happy would it have been for this country, if it had been given to the U. States in the peace
of 1784. We should think any minister deserved well, both of the Canadians and
of the English, who, by mutual consent of
the governors and the governed, should
get a couple of millions from the Ameri
cans in purchase of our sovereignty of
that territory.
The Detroit Gazette contains an extract of a letter from a gentleman at Mackinaw, which states that Mr. Schoolcraft
was at Saut St. Marie, and had " obtain
ed through the Indians, from the east fork of the Tenaugon river, the largest mass (except one) of native copper, which he had ever seen. It weigns 42 pounds avoirdupois. On examining it critically, he discovered in several parts of it points of native silver. This is the first native silver found in this region." The letter adds, that u a vein of copper ore has also been discovered on the south shore of lake Superior, on a point of land, just at the water's edge. It is reported to be extensive. Mr. S. has in his possession many specimens of this ore ; Sc the same kind is stated by professor Cleveland, to yield 75 per cent." Intelligence is received by an arrival at New York from Buenos Ay res, of the signing of a preliminary treaty between the state of Buenos Ayrcs, and the com missioncrs on the part ol Spain, in which the independence of Buenos Ayrcs is recognized. The suspension of hostilities is to continue for 18 months, within w hich time a definitive treaty of peace is to be negotiated Accounts state that the Greek agents
have brought about a rebellion in Thessaly. Mahomed Pacha dispatched troops to quell it, but they were obliged to retreat, after waking considerable advance.
