•*?——- ¦ Continental Notes. ¦ ¦ . . - . ...
At Vienna the state of the public health is extreniely bad . All the hospitals are overfilled , and there is hardly a house in the city in which there are not sick persons . The prevalent comp laints are typhus fever * pulmonary and bronchial affections , and the smallpox .
SWITZERLAND . A circular note of the Federal Council has been addressed to the European Powers , stating that Switzerland will , in case war should break Out , defend with all her power as well her own integrity and neutrality , as also that of Savoy , the neutrality of which has also been guaranteed by treaties . The military and financial departments have been ordered to commence all necessary preliminary works . In case the signs of approaching war should become more threatening , the Federal Diet is to be forthwith convoked .
NAPLBS . A letter from Naples informs us that it is affirmed there , that the King is suffering from a disease in the articulation of the thigh bone , producing such extreme pain as to render life almost insupportable . This disease arises from an attack which his Majesty had some years back ; In addition to this , the King suffers from a nervous fever which induces frequent delirium and altogether the complication of disorders is so severe that even medical mejvdo not hesitate to say that the case is incurable . How far the life of . ' die . King may be endangered is another question : it is , however , impossible for him to attend to public business , though , up to a certain time , the Gibrtiale Official endeavoured to ^ create an impression that the ICing was devoted to public affairs . . ¦ . ' '
. . GEBMAN-T . . ' The Hanoverian Minister of Finance has published a decree prohibiting , in pursuance of the treaty with the Zollverein , the exportation of horses from the kingdom to those countries lying on the Zollverein frontiers . ¦ ' .. o ¦ ..

Brothers pf Tuscany , —From this land to which God has confided the sacred depot of Italian liberty ; from this land , which , through so many sacrifices , has found means to construct a sublime seat of national council , a war cry will sobii go forth . This cry will be for you a signal of resurrection . Put , woe be to you , if you give way to untimely manifestations and useless and hazardous enterprises . Be ready , vigilant , and faithful ; and , when we come to you with the tricoloured flag , then fly to the arms of your brethren and the defence of Italian liberty /'

-¦• ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ '¦' • ¦ Rome* ' ' ¦ ' ...
- ¦• ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ '¦ ' ¦ ROME * ' ' ¦ ' ' j ' * A letter frorii Home says : —" There are crowds of foreigners in Rome , and the Carnival has been as brilliant as on any occasion before 1848 ; the windows are as gaily decorated and filled with ; as mucli : beauty—the maskers as active in throwing confetti and bouquets . Perhaps the only difference is that ' there" is / a larger military force under arms ; but ^ as it is not visible unless one seeks it out , it creates no uneasy sensations . The Prince of Wales has a window in the Corso , and is an object of great attraction . His Royal Highness is living a quiet , unostentatious life , and is pursuing his studies with great attention . " -. ¦ '' ¦ . . ' . ¦ . . _ , , It is reported that the King of Naples has offered to-furnish , the Pope with four battalions of Swiss troops . SARDINI-4 . A letter from Turin , says that the Emperor Napoleon has excited hopes in Italy , which , his recent declarations must , it is to be presumed completely dissipate . There is but one sentiment respecting the note in the Moniteur . Everywhere the utmost indignation is expressed . People bluntly say that P iedmont has been " betrayed" by Louis Napoleon . There is reason to believe that M . de Cavour and Victor Emmanuel , were utterly unprepared for it .. The new attitude of the French Emperor , it is believed in Turin , will alter in nothing the intention , of the Government . War with Austria will be undertaken , cost what it may . The opinion seems to be there , that , if Austria and France both withdraw their troops from the Roman States , the Pope will at once be ¦ overthrown ,- and a national Government formed , which will demand that the country be at once annexed to Piedmont . This example , will be follo \ ved in the smaller provinces . But the evacuation is not yet carried out , and ^ there does not seem much chance that it soon will be . ¦ Volunteers ¦ continue to arrive every day , and are at once enrolled in the Piedmontese ranks . ' The offi cial Piedmontese Gazelti ? , of Wednesday , contains the following : —The Austrian army ill Italy having been placed on a war footing ,, the King has thought it necessary to call in the contingents . He hopes the country will- receive with satisfaction those measures which are necessary for the defence of the national independence and the honour of the country . Tlie : subscription to the national loan has considerably exceeded the amount asked for . In Paris conjectures are thrown out that M . de CavOur will be unable to stand up against the blow administered to his hopes and his ambition from the Tuileries ; and , if he falls , the war party in Piedmont will be utte rly and hopelessly worsted .

of the original , propositiqny moved as a test vote , that the bill be laid on the table . This motion was lost by a vote of yeas , 18 ; nays , 30 . These figures indicate the certain passage of the measure by the Senate ; but in the House the result will doubtless be the other way . . .. . . - A Washington telegram of February 25 th says " The rumour that all the available naval force , including the sloop-of-war Vincennes , lias been ordered to the Gulf , seeins strengthened by a remark made by the chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means to-day , that this American sea , as lie termed it , belongs to us , and that we will and must exercise control over it . The next arrival from Mexico will , it is anticipated , bring highly important intelligence in connexion with the French arid English fleets , and requiring a larger American naval force than has heretofore been kept in that quarter . "
AMERICA . The America arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday with New York mails of the 22 nd ult . The news is of but slight importance . The bark Julia Dean , of Charleston , captured otj Coast Castle by the United States , frigate , Vmcennes , on suspicion of being engaged in the slate trade , had arrived at Norfolk in charge of a prize crew . Great preparations had been made throughout the Union to celebrate the birthday of Washington on the 22 nd . . The Cubaii and Tariff questions continued to occupy the attention of Congress , but there appeared no immediate prospect of anytlxing decisive being doiie . A telegram from St . John ' s , Newfoundland , sayfl . — «< j he tenor of private advices received per Prince Albert render it certain that the British Government will grant a subsidy of 150 , 000 / . to the Galway Steamship Company . Mr . Henley , chief electrician of tho Atlantic Cable Company , has arrived hero , with batteries and instruments , to commence operations with them on this end of the , cable . ' . ' The steam-ship Bluck Warrior , bound from Havannah to New York , ran ashore on Kockaway Par , Long Island , during a dense fog on tho mdrning of tho 20 th ult . The passengers and mails wore taken off in safety , together with tho 280 , 000 dole , in Mexican dollars * which sho had on freight , At tho latest dates it was feared that without very favourable weather she would not be got off . Her value irns about , 185 , 000 dole . Incessant rains for a week throughout tho Wost has caused a freshet in tho Ohio river , and at Cincinnati the water was up to tho second stories of houses in Wator-streot .

WEST INDIES . HAYTI . Advices from Jacmel to the 30 th of January state that the new Government was looked upon . '' with much favour by the people . One of its first acts was to repeal the exorbitant export duty on coffee , but upon examination ' of the finances they were found to be in such a disordered condition that the old duty was immediately restored . All the excitement of the revolution had passed by , and business had revived to its former briskness . Coffee was coming in freely from the coast and the interior . The Governor of Jacmel , one of tlie Emperor ' s officials , had been deposed .

J . » e chiefs of the Jaboo and other countries had interdicted oil being carried from the interior to the market ? near Lagos , as they did not benefit by lt . tnougii the bulk of the people did . There was consequently , no trade at Logos nor at Palma . The proposed withdrawal of Her Majesty ' s gunboat Bruno from Lagos at such a moment had created some alarm .
