yesterday from Lisbon, which place he left
the 27th of March, informed us, that the
French army had not got possession of that
place, but were in the neighborhood The
merchants were making preparations to get
OIL as fast as possible-that the British and
Portuguese troops had taken all the guns

Jerome Bonaparte, king of Westphala,

1t will be observed by short article in
this days Gazette, that although His Royal
Highness has escaped the stigma of corrup-
ton in his Office of commander in chief, the
scrutiny which has been had into his conduct
has developed many instances of gross mis-
conduct and indiscretion--and that although
he has eluded public punishment, the enqui-
ry has produced the salutary effect of draw
ing him back to a sense of his public and
private duties. A commercial arrangement
had been made between Great Britain and
Sweden.
1t evident, by numerous accounts from
the Continent, that war between Austria
and France is actually about to commence

ma and his family to the Roman Catholic re-
ligion. (Somc mention is made of it in the
London Times of Feb. 20th.) As the princi-
pal Mandarins are initiating the example of
their Sovereign, many persons here expect,
that the mass of the people, will hasten to
adopt the creed of their snperiors, and that
polical innovations will soon follow this reli-
gious alteration. Missionaries, members of
the Propaganda, instituted by Napoleon in
1902, after the publication of the Concordat,
have been the Instruments in the hand of
Providence of effecting this conversion. Al
ready reports are circulating of his Chinese
Majesty, having consented to admit into his
empire, French political as we'll as CONNER
cial agents, and that two principal Manda-
rims are on their passage to France, i'm an
American vessel, to compliment Napoleon.
and to offer homage in the name of their
prince to the sovereign Pontiff AS to our
differences with Austria, fear battles alone
can settle them. 1t is said, that orders have
already been given to occupy with our troops
Trieste, and thus prevent Austria communi-
eating with England-The seizure of the
Pope's Territory and temporal power, and
the expulsion of the Bourbons from Spain "a
Kingdom to the sovereignty of which, the
house OF Austria has eminent pretensions)
are said to constitute the chief complaints Of
the cabinet of Vienna against our govern
nent.
Though the day of our emperor's depar-
ture for Germany, has four times been Fl xed,
we yet possess this hero within our walls
Do not imagine that internal discomfort has
induced his majesty oproiong his stay; no,
the rumours of insurrection in the southern
and the western departments are as unfoun-
ded, as the reports of mutiny & desertion a.
mong the troops marching back again from
Spain to Germany. Our merchants and ma
nufacturers suffer, indeed very much, and
have laid their humble applications at the
foot of the throne but they are too dutiful
not to wait, rvifhout nturmur, his majesty s
leisure to attend to their painful situation.
Among the many reports here, is the very
absurd one of war with Prussia, as wei! as
with Austria. Russiai is said to have deter.
mined to remain Deutcr in this continental
war, and is now negotiating peace with
Sweden, in which Denmark is to be included.
