gentleman in Lisb n, dated. February 1 5th, 1823, communicated for the Boston Patriot. 44 France has decided on war against Spain As far as talk goes, Spain and Portugal appear determined to fight hard and 1 think they will. France will admit of no terms short of such a constitution as Ferdinand may please to grant. Mf ever there was an unrighteous and outrageously wicked war commenced by any government, this war of France upon Spain is such in the strongest sense. I most sincerely hope, and ardently pray, that it may work the downfal and utter ruin of those w ho have projected k commenced it. " The 4 Holy Alliance have at last ex

The king became alarmed, and refused to receive the resignation of the ministers, entreating them to remain in their stations till he could form a new government. To this they assented, and it was supposed the king would accede to their recommendations to leave Madiid.

insisting on their convening the council,

that the resolutions might be repealed, and appointed the 9th of August next for another meeting, at Taloney, on the federal road. It is confidently believed that a meeting will then take place. The national council of the Cherokees is divided into two branches; the council is composed of 1 3 men, and the committee of 33. The council men are chosen by the nation, and the committee men by the council. The first hold their appointments for an indefinite period, and the latter for one year. They meet annually, at a stated seat of government, and arc styled the National Council.

DISCOVERIES IN AFRICA. We understand that researches in Africa, of a very interesting natuie, are about to be published by Mr Wa'dech, a German who has recently arrived in England from India having previously travelled through Africa, from Egypt to the ( ape of flood Hope. It appears that at the foot of the Mountains of the Moon, he found an insciibcd pillar, erected by a Roman consul, about the period of the eign of Vespasian.
