The articles which have from time to time
appeared in the French and German papers
concerning rupture of peace on the CONT

within few weeks, have passed daily be-

LISBON, Feb. 90.
Within these few days, things have ia
ken different turn; we have now received
information from Trieste, that the Austri-
ans have declared war against France The
truth ofthis intelligence is said 10 be confirm
ed by letters received here from the Swedish
consul at Seville; and it is so generally be-
lieved, thai more then dozen of the pas
sengers.who had engaged to go by the Walls
ingham have decllntd going. Indeed, it
seems probable that something has happen
ened to interfere with die plans of the French,
by their not following up the advantages they
gained in the neighborhoOd of Corunna and
Vigo; on the contrary, they are said to have
retreated towards the frontiers of France;
at any rate, they remain quiet with respect 10
offensive operations.
February II.
We are authorised by supreme orders to
communicate to the public the following ex
tract of letter from Seville, OF the Sth of
February -
"The French who were in La Mancha re-
treated precipitately for Madrid, leaving
behind them baggage and quantity of arms
which General the Marquis dc Palacea has
ordered to be collected. a German gentle
man has also arrived here, with dispatches
for the Supreme Junta he states, that
when he left Germany, the Archduke John
had already entered the Tyroi, and that it
is probable, that at present the Archduke
Charles has entered Bavaria. He assures us
also, that in the port of Trieste there were
100 sail of ships for the transport Of troops,
which were TO be conveyed by the English.
This Intelligence has animated all, on ae
count Of its impeding the fresh reinforce
ments which the French wished to bring into
Spain. The enlistment of troops in these
provinces is incessant as the manufacture of
all kinds of arms, for the purpose of organ
ring atresh new army, and arming the
masse. "-LiSboH Gazette.
