There, as in the other parts in the possession of in troops, the in habitatits unequivocally express their joy at the arrival of the Swedes, and their hopes that the union of Sweden will put all end to their long sufferings. Evil-minded persons, (monies to the repose of the North, had spread the report that the people or Norway hated the Swedes; but siuce the entrance of omit alloy into Norway, every day has tm uishe4 supeated proofs of the fat-ehood of this assertion The :swedi•lf soldiet, naturany brave and 1111111MR', lives with the Norwegian peasants amid soldiems as with iris brethren. They visit us in our camp as old friends, our troops bivouac amidst ow herds of the peaceable peasant, who sees his property respected, and with joy and gratitude acknowledges that his happiness coincides with his duty. Those %%do have endeavoured to irritate the people a2ainst the Swedes are de.:ervinv of eondi2n ouniallment.
