It will he seen from our Parliamentary - Report that orders llave been issued by (lovernment for the blockade of N o rway. This ineaure, if the story told of the Norwegians lia%ing spontaneously risen to assert their freedom were en titled to credit, would be one which it would be impossible contemplate without extreme pain,. At the same time, we are hound to state that, if it were even so, we cannot see how it 'would lie i,ossible for our Government to pursue any line of Conduct other than that which they have thought it their iluty to take. In the treaty concluded with Sweden, such LT) event was net provided for, as it was expected by no one. I'Ve certainly were not i.,ound by an express proyisi: , n to make wat' on the Norwegians if they thought proper to assert their independence; nor, on the other hand, was it stipulat ed that in such a case England should be free to act accord ing to circumstances. It is, therefore; our duty fairly to fulfil the eng4ement whieh we have entered into. On the sound ness of the policy of Sw(r:den in prosecuting' her designs on Norway' tinder such circumstances we can say nothing. Our duty is simply this,•to adhere to the treaty by which' we are honied, unless, indeed, it shall appear that that treaty has been cviously departed from by Sweden. On this subject .MAY I we eicpect another week will etiable us.to . to•make important dis closures. At present we shall only say, the conduct of Ber nadotte has been for some months past (we purposely use the mildest language:, very equivocal. There is one other point to be considered.—ls it alto gether ridiculous to suppose that the disturbances which have taken place in Norway have been stirred up by the King of Denmark? To us this does not appear improbable. If it is not so, why then the Norwegians Jebel against him.? In such a case, no doubt we shall soon hear that the Danish. troops are on their march to quell the insurgents. The King of Denman k may have a tal,te for nominating a King of Nor way, as Buonaparte had for naming the Sovereign of Italy. We merely mention this as a thing possible; if it should prove to be true, it is not to be endured, that now the Master Ruffian is gone, the feeble underlings of his gang, shall be suffered to practice f.uuds, which could not be submitted to, even from him. CESSATION OF lIOSTILTHE' . 4 BETWEEN FRANCEVND ENGLAND. Since our last, intelligence has been received of a happy event, on which we beg leave to conglatulate the public.-- A convention has been concluded between this country and France, by which a cessation of hostilities, by sea and land, is immediately to take place. The terms of this convention are certainly in favour of Fiance, but thank Heaven, we are no longer in a situation, in which an equivalent moot be oh. tamed for every thinA conceded. We can now afford to be generous, and this is so universally tbat no heart repines in England at the favour shewn to tlae Freud'. Its substanc4 is as follows: • The prisoners sre to be restored without exelsange ; consequent ly, for cyrvy foreiLoicr detained in Frain five or SIX vuenomply %vat revivit their native country. The total number of French pri soners of war in this country, which in Jos c, 181:2, was .'5?..000, had lately increased to 72,000, of whom 5')00 have beets alread-I released,. aud the remaining 67,000 avr in a course of remosal. The blockath..s of the I. tench fortresse: by hind, and of their post; by Nca, are to be raised. 'I he Allied as lutes are to evacuate the Old French territory. Alsace, Loriaine, Vilna:lle Cuni46, Cham paigne, Guiew,te, Gascony, Pas is itAdf, ate ail to be freed from invasion; and this O n no ofter condition than the evocaatien by the French of tlatebev, 7 .-4, and a few other places already inveqed, without hope of relief. This convention is nnderstood to he in limo place of ptelhninatics; al:a the definitive treaty is to be concluded at once on this basis. • TRENCH PA PERS. We have received Moniteur sand other Paris Papers to the 2stb. A Telegraphic dispatch from Boulogne to Paris an nounced the arriv:il of his Majesty at Boulogne on Tues day last at half-past four. His Majesty was to sleep there that night—at Amiens on Thursday—on Friday at Com piegne—and wa., to make his public entrance into Paris this morning. Great preparations are making at Paris for his reception. On the Pont Louis XVI. there will. be a grand display of fue. works—the houses will be ornamented with hangings—there will be a general illumination, Eugene Beauharnois has sent in his adhesion to the new Government, and an armistice has beep concluded between the Austrian and French armies in Italy. Orders have been sent to the Governor of Mentz to surrender thpt fortress to the Allies. Luxembourg has been alicady surrendered to them. lluninguen has capitulated. D'ENGAIEI In the French papers received. yesterday, there is an at tempt to exculrate Caulaincourt from the charge of being concerned in the murder of; the Duke d'Eughein.
