S WEDEN. 'EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM uDDEWALLA) DATED AUGCET 23, 1814% 44 You are already acquainted with the conditions I of the armistice concluded between the Swedish and Norwegian forces. Since his entry into Norway, his Royal Highness had remarked that the sound part of the nation was not in opposition to the union with Su eden. It was clearly seen that the troops of Prince Chr istran fought against their own inclinations, when numbers of the soldiery came over to our ranks, who were sent home with provisions and money. The inhabitants declared their ardent desire for a general pacification. The order and discipline which they observed in the Swedish army, and the arrangements which had been provided, had already convinced them that we came to them as brothers. ‘, The Prince Royal, far from confounding the greater part of the nation with a smaller number of individuals, who blinded by their personal ambition, • had laboured for a considerable time to lead them astray, was nnwilling to thraw the calamities of war upon a people who were about to become the subjects ot his Majesty. ‘, Also, though his ROyal Highness was on the point ot surrounding that pact of the Norwegian army which was placed between the Glommen and the Gulph of Christiania, and he might have arrived in . a few days at the. Capital, he consented-With pikasure to a sospension of arms, which he trusted would *put an end for ever t.) the effusion of blood between the two nations. . He required that his titoptibonld occupy a line of demarcation from Scholia) to Hovi and Otimmen ; but as it was represented to him that the, Norwegian troops would feel themselves bumi listed by gr in g obliged to retrograde without fi ghting, he immedi ately deststyl from that demand. saying that he w.Julrl not wound the honour of an army which he was destined to command. ' "Itis by the efflirt of the same moderate and ge nerous sentiments that the King has solemnly assured to the Norwegian nation a Constitution conformable to its desires, mid to its true interest. The Norwe gians already knew how much they had been de ceived respecting the intentions of his Majesty.— Every dry they feel more convinced of the beneficial effects which will result to their country from the ties • which are abcut.to attach them to Sweden; and we have every reasoil to believe, that the National Diet, actually convoked, will anticipate the wishes of his , niesty, in confit ming by their unanimous suffrages the union which is to be the foundation of the future felicity of both nations. " In the meanwhile the Nra,vcgian flotilla has at tempted to get out under the Datush tl.lg, and to sur render itself to Danmark ; b'tt leis ti.jesty's squa dron, as might be expected, opposcd this enterprize." FREIVC.V PAPERS. • PARIS, SEPTEMBER 4.

The 13r1:611 Hero, Duke of Wellington. it . is said. ' intends to hire tlleteatitiful Park or Monfontaine, and to give splendid banquets there. It is reported that the harvest has totally failed in England. Some idea mg be fotmed:from the history of the prisons dtiring the rt. ign of Bonaparte, of the wretched • state of OW' commerce. •In a very short interval there «•ere issued kora 44 to 45,000 decrees of arrest from thelludit . Of.Tratte of Paris only. A great number of workmen have been employed for several d.rl•s in fittiog up the apartments of the PAlace of MeuJorr, for the reception of the Duchess 4' 41;goniernt, who intends to reside there during the present month. The :.!ep inure of the Prince of Benevent for Vienna is SAed tor the 10th of this month. Uterlseving presided at Rennes, at the ceremonies • of thi fete tif the- King, wleich was ccli brated in that 'city aithretegolost France, with the mast unanimous enthusiasm, Marshal &mit Duke of Dalmatia, set . out on the 26th r.f August tor Paris, where he is arrived. -A report has been spread that there exists in the Peninsula of Q.liberon contagious maladies, brought thither by some crnizing vessels. The report is des tit ine t f foundation. Contraband trade is in great activity throughout the littorals of Genoa. The etistorus in consequence - suffer much, and has solicited of the Previsional Go vernmtat repressive measures. The prolonged stay of the English troops at Genoa has below to give rise to several conjectures in that . city, as to the future fate of that country. The inha bitants expect with solicitude the result of the Con. • gress of Vienna, which will, it is said, recognize the independence of that Republic. It. is thought that the English wish to obtain in the • Gull of Spez;a, some establishments which will se• • cure new advantages to their marine and commerce in 'the Mediterranean. There is scarcely any doubt at Vienna of the re-es tablishment of Poland. it is said that 'Prussian and German Ladies propose ,to Introduce a national dress, very , llmple an, very modest. It.is.suppoted they wl . ll not Conseit the foshionk of YariA for a ioodel. AUGSBURGH, AUGUST 27. A complete dislocat on has taken place in the Aus trian army in Italy. The gr4dur part et the troops who formed part of it have returned into the Austrian States. A corps of Italian troops for the service of: Austria is foiming. Some persons assert that a great ferment prevails in some parts of Upper Italy. It is thotightthat one' of the Archdukes will be appointed Governor of Lombardy, and that Marshal Bellegarde will return to Vienna. SCHAFFHAUSEN, AUGUST 24. The Burgomaster Reinhard, President of the Diet, has addressed, in the name of that Assemb ly, a Cir. cular to the 19 Cantons, in which he conjures them to adopt the new modifications which have been made in the Federal Act, and informs them, that unless there is unanimity in the decisions of the Cantons, there is reason to fear that Foreign Powers will inter fere in an efficacious manner to fix definitively the fate of Switzerland. BASLE, AUGUST 28. We receive information from several cantons of a more satisfactory kind. It appears that the Deputies of Soleur and of Zurich have induced the Councils of their cantons, to adopt the new Federal Constitution, and that the cantons of Berne and Lucerne will also comply. The smaller cantons will be obliged to swim down with the current, hut we have yet obtained no precise intelligence regarding them. • General Mallet continues at Berne to negociate for the employment of certain Swiss regiments in France, but the motive is not to be easily accomplished, and there is much delay about it. M. Van der Howen is directed by the Prince Sove reign of Holland also to engage four Swiss regittientt. This Minister reside: at Zurich, and it ►s said that he has made more progress iu the business than the Agents of France, and that the Colonels are already appointed. GENIVA, AUGUST U. The citizens of Geneva were assembled on , the 22d, 23d, and 24th instant to deliberate upon the itew Con stitution which has been proposed to them by the Pro visional,Council. It was approved by 2444 voters, and rejected by 334. M. Stratford Canning, Ambassador from England to the Helvetic Confederation, arrived this morning at Geneva. BRUSSELS, AUGUST 30. We learn from Nouur, that Lady Castlereagh, wife of the Prime Minister of England, had passed through that city with a numerous suite. She will proceed to Vienna, there to remain during the Con. gress. TURIN, AUGUST 27. His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, being desi rous to our Sovereign a fresh proof of his friend ship, and at the same time to rc-establish the ancient relations of amity which existed between the two St :le.>, has ordered a complete evacuation of the pro yinces ct . Savoy, which were sill occupied by his troops. His Majesty yielding to the prayers of the inhabitants of these Provinces, anxious to be taken once more under the dominion of a Royal Family which has rendered them so happy during many ages, has resolved to re-create the Royal Sen Ate of S Iv& His Majesty has appointed Galleani ano his Commissioner Plenipot,i.tiary to take posse:. sion s in his name, of the Provinces of Savoy. ROME, AUGUS O. Cardinal Pacca, Under Secretary of State, ,has published an Edict, which forbids all secret associa tions, and particularly that of Freemasons. The tul. lowing are the principal Articles: " 1. Confotmably to the Orders and Edicti of Clement XII. and Benedict XIV. which pronounce excommunication, ipso facto, against the members of secret societies, and particularly that of Freemasons, it is forbidden that any inhabitant of Rome or Ru ntish. States should continue, should re-establish, or continuer, 1 1 4 assemblies called Freemasons % or any other similar associations, whatever name they may bear. " 2. It is also forbidden to any pets , n to be pre even Once, at ;thy of these assemblies, er to pro cur.. members to the society. 'lshii prohibition ex tends to those Roman snbjects who maintain direct or indirect intercourse with the societies already exis ting, or which may hereafter be formed, out of the domains of the Sovereign Pontiff. a• It is not permitted that any person shall have in his possession, or to have with his power, instru ments, armorial bearings, emblems, statutes, memo rials, patents, or any other thing appertaining to the said associations. . 14 4. Every person who shall be acquainted with any members of their secret societies, shall instantly give information either to the Governor of Rome, to the Commandant of the Province or to the Apostolic Delegates. Those who shall give such intelligence may depend upon inviolable secrecy. The punish ment to which they would be liable either as accom plices, shall be remitted, and a pecuniary recompense shall be made to them at the charge of the criminal, as often as sufficient proof shall be afforded. His Holiness is anxious to remove all idea that there is any .thing disgraceful or dishonourable in these die. closures, which are of equal importance to religion and to the State. In consegnence, all persons -ari absolved from the oaths they may have taken, which can be contemplated only as a bond of wickedness. " 5. The punishments to be assigned to offenders in this Edict stet proportioned to the nature and.cir eumstances of the crime ; they are very heavy corpo ral inflictions, and consequent partial or complete confiscation of property, personal and impersonal, of v,ltic!i one portion shall go to the Judged and agents it, the Tribunal who have effectually contributed to e c sptitre and conviction of the offender. " 6. All palaces, all town and country houses, all buildings, or walled and inclosed places, which shall be employed by thew assoclatious or lodges (as they are termed) as soon as legal evidence has bcen obtained, shall beleng to the Exchequer, excepting in cases vihere the proprietors shall establish that it was without their 'knowledge that these assemblies were held." The principal mdtives that have led to such an Edict a, e as disclosed as follow : e. The dark machinations." says Cardinal Parra, 44 w.tich accompany the formula, the ceremonies, the tat s, and the oaths taken to keep a'secretatleastaesii vicious, and especially the coligreptien of persons it all tanks and nations, whatever be theseemorais or cleir intormation, are all reasons which l ea d hoe. arty r. the virposition that the design of these member; are directed not only against divines, but t.v:n against religion, sad more particularly-against th. religion or Jesus Orals?, 'cif which the Roman Pontiff was constituted the chief and the guardian by the DIVIVII FOUNDER himself." The Jesuits have been again put in possession of the three houses which they occupied in Rome at the time of their suppression. The Noviciate of St. An. drew of Monte Cavallo is to be immediately opened, and it appears that it will bs very numerous. It is calculated, that there are already two hundred Je suits in Rome. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 30. According to travellers who are believed to be well informed, an extraordinary activity prevails in the di van of the Grand Seignor. The fall of Bonaparte, and the results which it has necessarily produced, afford much occupatton to the Turkish Ministry.— With respect to the tranquillity of the interior, it is nearly re-established in the Caramania since the con quest of Satalia ; but on the other hand, the progress of the Turks against the Curds is not so considerable as the Court of Constantinople would have it believed. The Curds are too numerous, and too well secured by their almost inaccessible mountains, to be an easy conquest to the troops of the Grand Seignor. The Wechabites also, in spite of the de feats which they , have here and there experienced, are still prepared for new combats. It would be a great misfortune to .the Porte if they should penetrate to Syria and carry their dogmas amongst the Curds, whose religion is nearly the same with that of the Wechabites. 1-IANBUAGH MAILS. [FURTHER =TRACTS.] ZEALAND. AUGUST' ES. ' The Convention in Norway is to be signed, on the part of the Norwegians; by Tang, the Minister of Fi nance, and General 1-laxthausen. What has been said with respect to the Convention is by no means to be depended on. Norway will now, by an abundant importation, extricate herself from the wretched situa tion in which she has for some time been, for want of a supply of grain. BAMBERG, AUGUST 21. This day appeared here a Serjeant Major, who for merly served is the 8.1 regiment of foreign troops in the French army, and who lett the Island of Elba on the 6th of June. He was decorated with a Cross of Honour which he had obtained in the Island of Elba, in return for his former Cross of the Legion of Ho nour. His prescnt Cross is of silver with white and blue enamel, and in the middle there is a silver lily and four at the ends. On the blue enamel is inscribed rive le Roi! It is appended to a white band with a silver clasp, on which there is an inscription of Gage de Paix (pledge of peace) wills :film le Roi in the middle. According to the account of this soldier there wcre .5/r of these Crosses made by order of IL thiparre and given in return for the former ones. WESTPHALIA, AUGUST 2s. The fate of so many and considerable masses of German population and territories which have been restored to freedom by the sword of the Allies, with ourreceiving their former stability by an immediate annexation to greater States, will not sur:ly be post , poned to the termination of the Congress, but taken i nto consideration at its very opening. So much of A.l establishments has been irrevocably destroyed by time, that nothing retrains, in manrcases, but un availing recollections. In these circumstances, the wishes and prejudices entertained by individuals and: separate districts must not be allowed to weigh against the general good ; the resignation to a Ripe' tor whole, so despicable when commanded by oppression, lx comes graceful anJ noble when dictated by the spirit of freedom. The inclinations of countries to tie ho. noured must not be childish and unreasonable, which they would certainly be in losing sight of the circuen stances in which we are placed. It is not now what a St4te once was, and still wishes to be, but we must inquire into its present state, when we wish to decide of its merits, the inclination of hearts, the co-opera tion of minds, and she annexation of territories. Those people are certainly -most to be envied, whose lot has been long decided and can no longer be questioned, who feel themselves united to that which they alone wish to be.. This elevating feeling belongs in a particular manner to the Prussians, who have not only preserved their high reputation, but by 1 their victorious weapons rescued their brethren who were torn frobs them, but who never ceased to re semble them in sentiments and patriotic energy.-.—' The nook flame of patriotism never blazed out more gloriously than here; noi where was ever more con spicuous than here the sprit of better times and the tsoul of freedom which tires a nation to heroic deed;. The liberality which since the time of Fredrick the `Great has under all the circumstances constituted the character of thus bold and magnanimous State, hu manity seems to watch with peculiar care, beemuts more and more the general character, the indispen bible requisite. of the age we live in'. History does not exhibit a purer love, a more generous resignation -than that which has lately been displayed by the 1 Prussians for their country and their King, in whose: firm determination the good and the welfare of his people were alone at heart. What may we not pro mise ourselves from such a union of the most noble qualities, which people and ruler at present display in their cordial and effective co-operation ? ELBEREELD, AUGUST 20. The following proclamation has been published 'here: " It has come to the knowledge of the high Go vernment that here and there a number of signs bear French inscriptions on them. This is quite uns.lita ' ble to the changes which have taken plate, and im proper as these signs are unintelligible to the gre itest part of the public. His Excellency the General Go .vernor by bis rescript of the 17th, has ordered there inscriptions to be changed. The intention of this is, that every thing foreign and injurious to the German national spirit, and which recalls the memory of their former subjection, should be removed. Every indi vidual must, therefore, ,lend a hand to remove fir alter, in case it be requisite, such signs, as nothing ut ibe kindis to he seen in other countries, and French inert must either learn our language or procure an ex planation of similar inscriptions, as we do when we travel inlrance. I.request, tnerefore, the different 4agistratel to sec that all signs hung out receive Ger man instead of French inscriptions, and that none be allowed in both' langulges: • • Tbe Direct: 0f the Circle, _ " v. - SITUU,."

The POPS has issued a most violent Decree against Freemasons and all secret Societies. His alarm is certainly not warranted by the misting circumstances of Europe. All is tranquil in Switzerland, the refractory Can tons having submitted. Ne•thing is said in the French Papers on the subject of Naples, but in the German Papers we have a curious'article on that head. Waal., it seems, lately seat out an Officer wearing the %Thite Cockade, as a mark of attachment to the King4of-Sieux, who is a Bourbon Prince: The Otficer•was received with great demonstrations Of joy by the Neapolitan troops.-. This looks as if MURAT was about to act with a becoming deference to public opihion, and to retire to a private station if the voice Of the people is dui, dedly against him. The Reports of the Corn Committee Which were finished too late to be acted upon - during last Sessioo s bAve since been printed. They deserve the most serious consideration of every class of the community. Their tendency seems to be to prove that if the farmer sells at less than 80s. per quarter, he swill : be ruined. In other words the labourer, maqufacturer, and whole population of England, must pay owl third more for their bread than .31 be necessary, tut. der a proper system of importattoff; thai sPeculsitors in farms may be enabledto.continue to pay high.rents for the benefit of the Landholders. In fact, the high prices arose from BONAPLILTVS Continental eyetetn, by which he Meant to enhance the prices ; nay, to starve us : from the 1;0 Kite's came. speculation in farming .and high rents. Speculation produced unskilful farmers—tailors. haberdashers, clergymen, stock-jobbers, generals and admirals. be. came agriculturalists, and the expenses were increased by want of skill. It is natural that the Landholders should wish to continue in the receipt of high rents. Instead of being satisfied with the increase of their property, occasioned by the Continental system, they wish still to enjoy its Advantages—tor to them it producad many. Bui the rest of Europe.heing freed from that system, is Britain to continue subject to its curse ? No ! No f No ! Ltt the Farming speculators go to the Gazette like other speculators. The evil will thus so ,, n work itself out, and lands, as they ought to do, will come to their proper value. The advocates for high prices urge many seasons for propagating their doctrines.—One of these is, that, if importation be allowed, less wheat will be grow,,n in England, and then what is to become of us in a scarce year 1 But, on th• other hand, if we cease to import, the countries bordering on , he Baltic will cease to raise corn for exportation : should we then have short crops for a year or two, where are we to get a supply I We must be abso lutely starved in such years, in addition to the new tax imposed upon our industry by a regular high price in all the years of plenty. We repeat it again. If the recommendations of the Cora Committee receive the force of law, Britain, in Mat coth will continue to k the vktins of the Continentai :piens, contrived by 1,01141 0 41trl for one destrwaion.— Are our Landholders mad ? or do they think that the rest of the community,have Jost their reason ? Can we believe that men a►ho wish to entail upon us the I evils contrived by the Corsican bend, are sincere in their professions of joY at his downfall ? England abominates his system, and will have none of if ! The Duke of. CuxisiatitSes marriage is Meet" shortly to take place.
