From Lisbon there Su* accounts in these Papers to
the 7th of February. the liigantine Treize de Mai
was on the eve of sailing for Rio Janeiro with dis-
patches for the Kixo, containing an account of all
that has been recently transacted in Portugal. The
Cortes continue their sittings. They have resolved on
the appointment of a Commission of Public Safety, but
its functions arc not to extend beyond the police of the
kingdom.—French 5 per Cents. Saturday, 851 r. 95c.

The intelligence from the scene of the approaching
warfare, remains nearly in the same state in which it
was left by yesterday's accounts. The French Jour-
nals, received to-day, furnish us with articles from
Vienna of the 14th, and Augsburgh of the 19th of
February. The Supreme Council of War at Vienna
received, on the 13th, the news of the passage of the
Po having been effected, between the 4th and 6th of
the month, by the advanced guard of the Austrians,
and of the whole Army being in full movement to-
wards Naples.
The Army is composed of five' divisions, which
are respecctively commanded by Count,WALmonaN,
Prince WIED-RUNKEL, Baron STUTTERHEIM, Prince
PHILIP de HESSE•HONIROUEO, and Baron LEDEsteft.
It is said to be in the, most complete state, and " to
be animated with that spirit which has at all times
distinguished the Austrian troops." No resistance,
it appears, was expected till after they had passed
the second frontiers of Naples ; but in this there is
every reason to believe they would find themselves
mistaken. The Augsburgh article of the 19th Feb.
says—" The Neapolitans, on their side, have advanced
their forces to their frontiers, and seemed.to wish to
be beforehand with the Austrians in occupying Rome.
We are even assured that some scouts of their army
had been seen on the Roman territory, and that the
PKINCS RLGENT had announced, by a Proclamation
to the army, the necessity of preparing for war."

The Papal Government had, in great haste, put
the Castle of St. Angelo in a state of defence, and
was avowedly under the greatest apprehensions from
the Neapolitans.

The King of SWEDEN, in a speech which he has
made on opening the Norwegian Diet, praises the mo-
deration exhibited by•the British Government, in its
claims of indemnity for the seizure of British property
at Bode. An allusion is made to the restrictions
imposed by foreign States on the trade of Norway ;
and, according to an article from Stockholm, it was
supposed that a negociation would be opened with
this country, on the subject of the duties on Norwe-
gian timber.
