LISBON, 111.1RCII S.

By the last news fr urn Oporto, it is confirmed that
the garrison of Chaves joined the infamous Count
d'Amarante, with the exception of some officers, and
that he threatened to aJvauce to the Minho, his van-
guard having advanced to Pinheiro, four leagues
from• Chaves, which shews the folly of his threats,
especially as the garrison of Braganza is firm, as was
to be expected from the character of the officers and
men.—lt is also certain that General Rego had gone,
with the forces under his immediate command, to Car-
valho d'Este, and was proceeding with the greatest
rapidity. To encounter the factious column of
Brigadier Manoel Luiz Correa, which was reinforced
with a regiment and two pieces of artillery, was pro-
ceeding from Amarante, and had reached Villa Real.
All the troops and the honourable inhabitants of
Oporto shewed the greatest enthusiasm for the
sacred cause in which we are engaged.
It was also known that Major-General Gaspar
Teixeira, having arrived at Villa Ponea de Aguiarr
had rebelled and joined the factious ; and, shewing
himself no less infamous than the Conde d'Amarante,
had written to the General of Oporto and others, who
treated his letters with merited-contempt. Ile had
the impudence to sign himself Second in Command
of the Regenerating 'Army ; which cannot consist ofl
above 700 men, of which at most 260 are infantry.

Dutch and Flemish Papers of a late date have
reached us, but they contain little intelligence of im-
portance. An article from Vienna, dated March 6,
states that Sir R.GORDON, who acts as British Envoy
at that Court, till the arrival of Sir HENRY WELLES-
LEY, has delivered to his Serene Highness Prince MET-
TERNICH a Note of the greatest importance, in which
it is affirmed that the British Government invites
Austria to co-ope,rate with it, in order, by new nego-
tiations, to obtain the preservation of peace in the
South of Europe.

It is further stated, that among other reforms, a
considerable !eduction of the Austrian army is to take
place, and that it has alieady commenced.
A fleet, fitted out at Toulon, is said to be ready to
sail as soon as v. ar is declared, in order to blockade
the Spanish ports in the Mediteranean.

Accounts from Cambray state, that all the troops
which are on their way to Spain have received or-
ders, by express, to hasten their march. Several more
regiments have also received orders to proceed tothc
South, and many Officers on half-pay are placed on
active service.
It is stated in an article from the Banks of the
Danube, dated March 4th, that there is little doubt
of the differences between Russia and the Porte being
adjusted in an amicable manner, since "the Emperor
ALEXANDER declared at Vienna that the present state
of European policy makes it necessary to avoid a war
in the East of Europe, that the Powers may be able
to turn their undivided attention to the West." Even
should the Turkish Government not agree to all the
proposals made to it for establishing the ancient
friendly relations.betweep the two Empires, recourse
will not be had to arms. M. TATISCHEFF is shortly
to leave Vienna for the Bosphorus, as the new Russian
Ambassador. The negociations renewed with
the Porte, are entirely confined to the adjustment of
the differences with Russia. At Vienna, as every-
where else, attention is directed to the Pyrenees, where,
the great question must be decided, what system of
policy is to predominate in Europe? It is believed
that the decision of the question, whether war shall
be carried on against Spain or not, depends on the
result of the negociations which are at present carry-
ing on at St. Petersburg!' by Sir Cultta's BAooi."
