We received this morning the Journal de St. Peters-
burgh to the Ist inst.; but it contains no political news
uhatever. In consequence of the war with Persia, an
Intendant-General has been appointed in the detached
corps of the Caucasus. This appointment does not
justify an expectation of the speedy termination of het-
tilities. The number of ships that had arrived at Riga
tip to the 25th of last month amounted to 125, at which

date only six had sailed from that port. The value of
the imports in the month of February was 641,440
rubles; that of the exports, 126,236 rubles.

We also received this morning the Austrian Observer
to the 6th instant. It is as destitute as the former of
political intelligence. In an account of the Sittings of
the Hungarian Diet, it says the two Chambers had
agreed on a representation to the EMPIROX, respecting
the foundation of an Academy of Sciences far the king.
dom of Hungary. When the subject was brought under
discussion is the Chamber of the Magnates, the Amu.
arras PALATIIHI offered to contribute 10,000 florins in
favour of the proposed Institution. Prince PHILIP
BArrnmny subscribed 5,000 florins for the same put..
pose; and three other Magnates subscribed sums of
6,003, 3,000, and 2,000 florins. The two Chambers
held a joint Sitting, in which a statement of supple-
mentary grievances was read, and ordered to be humbly
presented to the Damao& The Diet. though it has
sat more than two years, gives no indication of speedily
terminating its proceedings.

The Algemeine Zeilung to the 11th likewise reached
us this morning. It appears that the disbandment of
the National Guard of Paris bad excited a strong sensa-
tion in Germany, and affected the money market, par-
ticularly at Frankfort, very considetably. However,
the alarming impression had begun to wear away at
the date of the last accounts from that eity, as it was
generally supposed that the measure would have no
effect on the general state of Europe. By some it was
looked upon as a proof that the French Ministry felt
confident of possessing sufficient power to check any
violent expression of public feeling:

The Paris Papers, which arrived last night, are in an
unusual degree barren of news. The affair of the
National Guard seems to abate of the intense intereg it
first excited.'

It will be seen by the following extract of a Letter
from Lisbon of the sth inst. eleven o'clock at night, that
all hopes of the recovery of the INFANTA REGENT had
vanished :
" A bulletin has just been issued respecting the health of the
Regent. The neat bulletin will announce the melancholy tidings
of her death. This evening, at six o'cleck, extreme unction was

administered to her. Since that time all her family (except the
Queen) have remained assembled in her apartments, along with the
P►ysicians, in hourly expectation of seeing her breathe her last. The
Ministers are likewise assembled at the Palace, to take measures
necessary on the demise of their Royal Mistress.
" At a Cabinet Council which sat to.day, the following Noble.
men were nominated Governors of the Provinces which respectively
follow their names :—The Marquis of Valenca for Beira; Count
Lumlares, for Minho ; Count Villa Flor, for the Alemtejo ; and
the Marquis of Angeja, for Tras•os-Montes. An these Noblemen
have given pledges of their attachment to the new order of thbfge,
and are besides compromised with Don Miguel for having opposed
his design► against his father."
