present to the States General of Sweden the articles, vllich assign seasons for some changes or modifica. twns in the Sir-dish Constitution. _ In the name of the King, also, I now deposit w i t h you, Gentlemen, his oath t.) govern the King dom of Norway according to its constitution and laws. and I now invite you to take the oath to his Majesty. The compact which he has entered into with the Norw. gian people is now th,refore definitively con cluded. May that Paovinzace who watches over the fate of empires bless this solemn moment, which opens to the two nations of the Scandinavian Penin sula a new career of. glory and prosperity. I will second the paternal efforts of the King for the happi nt,ss of the Norwegians, and wiil transmitt to my sou the sentiments of love and affection which I bear them. Amidst the tumult of arms, and when marching Ishii the allies of Sweden, to the soil of Germany, to oppose the most frightful tyranny that ever oppressed Europe, I looked torward only to the present mo ment as a reward for my labours ; and the peaceful , palm which I this day receive from the hands of a free people is more satisfactory to my heart than all the laurels of victory. , t I renew to you, Gentlemen, the assurance of my regard, which is as deep as it is real." THE CROWN PRINCE TO HIS BROTHERS IN ARMS. 6, SOLDIERS I—Your first wish, like that of all your countrymen, has long been the union of the Scandi. navies nations. It was to attain this great object that we took up arms. PROVIDENCE has crowned our efforts, and our hopes have been accomplished ; henceforward Swedes and Norwegians have the same interests to defend, the same glory to support, and the same future fate will be for them the reward of the same virtues. Soldiers ! this is one of the finest mo r.eiits of my life, when, in the name of the King and the Country, I have to express to you their gratitude for we valour, discipline, and excellent conduct by which, in skewing yourselves worthy of your ances tors, you have rendered the Swedish name as dear as respected. Return to your homes ! and exempli fying as peaceful citizens the same love of your coun try, the same obedienie to the laws which distin guished you as warriors, the favour of your King and .the esteem of your fellow citizens be your me rited rewa-J.

Thie alhirs of Norway have all been settled in a manner that seems to promise the most happy results. It will be seen by the preceding details that the CROWN 1 3 siNct. for And on behalf of CHARLES XIII. received, -.on the 13th ult. the oaths of allegiance of the Diet at - Christiana, and at the same time delivered to them the oath of the King to govern them according to the constitution and the laws. Oa this occasion the ,CROWN PRINCE delivered an address, remarkable for the mildness and candour of its sentiments. He de clared, that the Swedish and Norwegian unions should always remain two nations, equal and independent though united ; the great basis of their union b_ing their geographical position, their similarity of origin . and character, and their mutual zeal for liberty, re spect for property, and attachment to representative government. We have received Paris Papers of Sunday, from which we subjoin such extracts as appear most inte resting. An article, purporting to be from the frontiers of Saxony, insinuates that much dissatisfaction still prevails among the inhabitants of that country, and adds, that the ci-devant King was offered Poland as an indemnity, but he indignantly refused it ! This is just as likely as ;file had been offered Great Bri tain and Ireland ; indeed the same merry Gentleman (we mean the French Journalist) lately told us gravely that the King of DENMARK was about to exchange that Kingdom for Hanover. Another article, dated Brussels, says, that •, nothing but the protection of France can save the Belgians from ruin," and cau tions all persons against believing what is said to the contrary in the Belgian Newspapers : PARTS, NOV. 26. In the Chamber of Deputies, this day, a discus sion arose, respecting the 3 1 .• ch article of the pr. - jet of *the law relative to Custom Houses, when M. de Fran - COW& proposed an amendment, •which was adopted by the Chamber. It decrees that the King, by his *Minutes, may provisionally, and in cases of ur req, prohibit the entry of fprcign merchandizes ur manufactures, or increase the duties on their importa tion; that be may diminish the duties on articles of the first necessity in manufactures ; permit or suspend the exportation of the produce of the soil or national industry; and limit to certain custom-houses the im portation or exportation of particular kinds of mer chandize. SAXONY. The Saxons have risen from their despondency 'ince they heard that new and most powerful inter cessions are making at Vienna in their favour. The )Zussian troops are quitting the country. It is af 'armed, tbacin order to indemnify the King of Saxony :tor ditties: of his kingdom, he was first offered the ti thme +Legations of the Church States, and upon his refitsaithe CroWn of Poland was offered to him; but WreplieS:wiih l 'Ormncss, that he would accept no in -1.111164,. 4itat he would not renounce his king dom.

Prince Repnin quitted Dresden on the 13th instant to proceed with his family to Vienna. His departure was attended with every mark of honour and respect. VIENNA. The ratifications of the Treaty of Peace between Russia and Denmark were exchanged at Vienna.— , There is no doubt that the Hanover;an military divi sion will comprise Hamburgh and Bremen, that is, the mouth of the Elbe and the Weser.

The arrival of her Royal Highness the Princess of WALES has been a Fete for our Court. Every where orders have been given to receive this PRINCESS with the honours due to her rank. Picquets of Cavalry were dispatched over the whole of the roads to serve as an escort of honour to her Royal Highness. Out side of the city of Naples, detachments of Lancers of the Royal Guards had been placed. It is thought that her Royal Highness will make a long stay in our city : there will be brilliant Fetes at the Court. The troops assembled in the vicinity will execute, before ,her Royal Highness, grand military manceuvres.— A very fine new brig has been armed, which will, in future, bear the name of i:ie Princ.'ss of Wales. We have no doubt th.tt the return of Sir li. Wet.- LESLEY will put the public in possession of ample do cuments to chew his uniform disapproval of the recent odious measures in Spain. In the mean time, we but discharge our duty to an upright and enlightened public character, by calling to the recollection of his countrymen, the occurrences in which he has taken a part. It was but on Tuesday last, that the French Papers did Sir HENRY the justice to say, that but for his remonstrances the lotof the Patriots of Spain would have been much more severe. With respect to his gallant brother, the Duke of WELLINGTON, there is in exigence a most spirited remonstrance in his own hand writing, delivered officially several months ago to the Duke of San CAnLos, to be by him communi cated to King FERDINAND his master. This docu ment is, we hope, also doomed to see the light in Great Britain. In Spain, under the present regime, it never will. Several of our gallant countrymen, distinguished for their conduct in Spain, have had Royal Orders and other honours conferred upon them, and not a few have received estates from the King.— Tllese may be fairly called the Royal Party, but en that list we do not find the name of Sir HENRY WELLESLEY. Indeed, if one may judge from his ac tions, his party has been that of every enlightened man throughout Europe. He accompanied the REGENT to Valencia, by desire of the Council of Regency, to con gratulate FERDINAND, but he immediately returned to Aladtid. He had ao knowledge of the intended march of Gen. Emo's army against the capital—indeed, he could exercise no controul over it ; but it is upon re cord that in a manly and dignified manner he remon strated with an Englishman in the Spanish service, who commanded a division of that army, and suspend ed all intercourse with him. To the honour of another British Officer, similarly circumstanced, be it remem. bored, that indignant at the idea of the Sovereign of a brave and generous people entering his capital si•r rounded by an army, he refused to jwi in thr caval cade, and remained at Valencia. We have, great pleasure in laying before our Readers another instance, rot of the good faith merely, but of the friendship of the French Govern ment towards this country. By information received yesterday through a private channel it appears that the True Blooded Yankee, which has committed so many depredations on our British traders, was in the harbour of Brest, under restrictions not to quit it.— In defiance of the mandate of the Port Admiral she made a successful attempt to leave the harbour, and she is now at sea. On this circumstance being known expresses were sent from Brest to Paris, with a state ment of the facts to the Minister of the Marine, and the consequence has been that the property of An American merchant, the owner of this privateer, who resided at Paris, has been put under sequestration, and to avoid the arrest of his person he has himself withdrawn from the City. May we not express regret that in the ports of Por tugal, a country which lies under manifold obliga tions to this country, American privateers should be suffered to receive protection. By a letter from Lis bon of the 12th ultimo, we are informed that an American privateer schooner, which had arrived there some time ago with a valuable cargo of bark, and had taken in another cargo for Philadelphia, had got under weigh that morning, and put to sea. It was understood that she had a person on board called SHARP, but believed to be Mr. COCHRANE JOHNSTONE. Two of our frigates, the GARLAND and CURAcOA, also weighed anchor and stood out about halt an hour after the departure of the American schooner. As they passed Belem, a blank gun was fired to bring them to, which not being instantly attended to, a second was fired, when one of them came to. The other returned the compliment by firing six guns, but soon afterwards they both came to anchor. The let ter is silent respecting the fate of the American, but we conclude that she got off clear. There was much talk in Lisbon about this affair when the letter was sent off, but as there had not been sufficient time to ascertain the facts with precision, we are unable to state farther particulars. Till 4RM?. 4 Colonel Watour is appointed to tucceeci Major- General LATE in the command of the artillery in North Britain. Colonel Walcott was Secretart to the Garrison of Gibraltar during the greatest part of the late war, in which situation he rendered many very important services to Government during the dreadful pestilential fevers of 1804 and 1813: he was much distinguished for his humanity and exertions, which will long be gratefully remembered in that Garrison. We understand that he has written a most interesting narrative of all that passed on these occa sions, and which, we have reason to hope, will soon be committed to the press. General 11/SLoP landed at Bombay in May last, and was received with military honours. Brigadier-General ASHWORTH has been appointed Governor of the city of Oporto, in the room of Gene ral TRANT, who has retired. Monday four troops of the sth Dragoon Guards, laying at the Horse Barracks in Norwich, marched from thence to Ipswich. The 77th regiment, it k reported, are shortly to remove to Cork. ft is not known what regiment will succeed them. The Bedford Regiment of Militia have received a route to march from Colchester to-rn.onow for Wood bridge and Yarmouth. The latter gua►ter will only be occupied by a detachment. The '4d Battalion of the fifth Regiment has ar rive.l at Dublin from Templemore. '!'he West Kent and Shropshire Militias remain on Dublin duty, and the 4th Dragoons at present do Garrison duty ; on the arrival of the 9th Dragoons, it is expected that the 4th will he relieved. The 32t1 Regiment of Foot is at Cork. The Ist bast tlion of the 38th Foot, at Kinsale ; Ist battalion 48th at Templemore ; 61st at Ncwry ; 2d battalion of 62d at Tralee, and the '2d battalions of 8::;t1 and 84th at Kilkenny and Limerick. The Ist, 2J, 3th, and 6th Garrison Battalions, now in Ireland, are all to be reduced on the 24th ; and Courts of Inquiry, to examine into the accounts of the above battalions, are ordered in the mean time. The 9th Dr:igoons have embarked at lkistol for Ireland. The 2cl battalions of the 12th and 40th regiments, from Cork, are arrived at Plymouth ; and the 2d bat talion of the 59th have left Fernley for Dublin. The detachment of the Royal Waggon Train is to continue on duty at Sandhurst, duririg the winter. The 2d battalion of the 66th foot, and depot of the 19th, from Bristol; have proceeded, the former to the Isle of Wight, and the latter to Jersey; and the Ist battalion of the 91st have marched to Clonmell. The 2d Somerset Militia are at Cashel ; the Essex have marched to Boyle, and are replaced by the 2d Lancashire Militia. By letters received at Bengal, from the Camp at Rewah, dated the 10th of March last, we le.trn, that the battering train and part of theinfantry had, on the 7th, separated from the Rewah force for their respec tive destinations ; we may therefore presume the cam paign is terminated. Several transports are arrived at Greenock for the purpose of conveying troops to Cork, destined for America. A detachment of the '2d battalion 79th Regiment, has been in readiness at Port Glasgow these three weeks past, and a detachment from the 7lst is daily expected there.
