Up to a late hour last n:ght no dispatches had arrived from Lord WELLINGTON to appease the public anxiety. A s soon as any intellligence is received, we shall communicate it in a Second Edition, Although the affairs of the North begin to wear a lowering aspect, and the war, vainly suspended by a second armistice, seems ready to break out in all its fury, every eye is turned towards the West. There our best wishes and affections naturally centre, and our most confident hopes are fixed. There we are committed hand to band with the foe, and whatever success may attend the cause of our northern Allies, no t► iumph can he so dear, as that for which we are to mix the tear of regret with the joy of victory. Spartan mothers exulted over their sons gloriously fallen in battle : less heroic, we mourn the brave, but the grief that is felt, adds a more tender interest to our victory. The tear that falls upon their grave, is a precious gem consecrated to their memory, a pledge of national gratitude and national sympathy. The semi-official reports of important engagements be tween the British and French Armies in Spain, which have prevailed during the whole of the week, have not yet as sumed a sufficiently authentic form, to remove suspense and quell apprehension. It appears pretty certain that we were repulsed with cfmsiderable loss in our attack on St. Sebas. tian, and that on the 281 h ult.
