a war for a cause not immediately concerning Swe. den, without the consent of the Diet, this successor to the Throne would have been greatly endangered ;„ e tr t er case, the not obtaining of Norway, or the l os s of any considerable part of the army. T was, doubtless, a most difficult task, and it must be owned that he has contrived to perfom it with uncommon ability, particularly by acquiring in the meeting at Abe the personal friendship and esteem of the Emperor Alexander. The Nobility t o ots its influence more and more, ind lost consi. t lerably even at the last Diet. Impoverished by the fondness for external splendour, encouraged, per. haps, by the Goveroment itself, it is continually siokitte, and tries to maintain itself by alliances with lich merclvints who, then, as well as in Den mark and Norway, are daily rising in consideration ; though Fabian Fersen was made this year Knight of the Order of the Seraphim, this party is likewise falling into insignificance, and the prowl Countess Piper is so shunned that she is - now confined to the society of her former Governess.— Hoe ever, there are still observed about the Crown Prince many descendants of the first fa milie., as, for example, a young Count l3rahe, the la,t drsceerlant of this celebrated family, who are 0 . 11011 4 oughts by the Royal Family, the nation re proaches t im with having given the Norwegians such great privileges; and this very reproach accords with his %sidles to procure them similar privileges at the earnest of the Nobility. The King, formerly dis tinguished as an intrepid warrior, and as an able and upright statesman, is justly rejoiced at the laurels with which, as it is stated in the addresses, his adopted son adorns his grey hairs. The Prince has also found means to please the Queen; and she not I only sees in him her support against a hostile party, but is taken with his obliging and respectful man ners. IVhether the retirement of the Crown Princess has been caused by misunderstanding With the Princess, the Princess Sophia Albertina and other ladies, who were proud of their high birth, is not now a subject of enquiry, bat many reports on her conduct are asaredly unfounded. l —Prince Oscar is an amiable Prince, who has al rewly gained great perfection in the Swedish lan guage. lie has acquired much valuable knowledge and dexterity in bodily exercises ; he studi: s con-1 swirly, and particularly applies to the serious anti mathematical sciences. Ile is educated with great strictness, and, it is said, for instance, that he was once put under arrest for having been present at a ball without his father's knowledge. The nation is • estremely attached to him." Yesterday the Lett* 'MAYOR proceeded in state from Ate Matestt.n.llonssi 'to - Guildhall, to hold a Court - . of Althirmen. l.

But we must hr for the best, and, in fact, neither of these contingoncies took plare, and accordingly Mr. P. sent the follow: hag letter : MARY STOCKDALE V. atNSLEY AND °TIM% SAYE V. SAKE. sPOTTiswonDE V. DIARY sToCknALN. Sir SAMUEL RositLLY stated, that this was an op- Oration on the part of Mrs. Stockdale, the Pleintiff in the original and supplemental cause, praying that an injunction might be issued, to restrain the fendatits from proceeding in an action at law, to r - corer the mestie int fits of a Levee ire-ft art 7, which had accrued since the death of her husband, and also to prevent them from turning Thomas Lowe out of the occupation of a house in Old Bond street, and that it might be referred to the Masters to take an account of the produce of her late husband's-pro perty, and to state to the Court whether Thommi Lowe was not a proper tenant of the said premises, at a fair and adequate rent. The Learned Counsel observed, that the proceedings in these suits were exceedingly voluminous, but he would endeavour to compass them into a narrow compass. In 1808, the late Mr. Stockdale, a bookseller in Piccadilly, WI4 indebted to several persons: he was then possessed of a house, No. 42, in Old Bond-street, which he mortgaged to Mr. Applegarth, one of his creditors, for the sum of 10001. Its this situation he continued his business till March, 1813, when lie executed a mortgage of two houses in Piccadilly, and the copy. rights of certain works to which he was e n titl e d, to Stratton and others fur 45001. In 114, he found it necessary to call a meeting of his creditors ; sod, upon the statement whicli he then made of his it was thought advisable to takes,. assignment of his properly, for the benefit of all his creditors, 10 1 4 'horrid come in and execute the deed of trust within w Cerfsin period. It was at the same limn proposed, that this arrangement should tint interfere with hi s *etail business, and that he should be permitted to select hooks to the talkie of 10001. to enable him to continue that trade, which was not to be subject to Isis creditors, unless his other property' should be found insufficient to pay them 20s: in the pound. The deed of assignment was dated on the 18th Match, 1814, but consented no exception as to the retail trade; the property was assigned upon trust In be bold s aud whelk the proaeeda amounted to 50001. To which Mr. Lidwill added the following note: When the above arrangement was handed to me by Maj..r LiilNill, I reserved the power of making the underneath addition from myself, if I shoo' deem it necessary, and communicated that reser►ation through him to Col. Brown, viz.:— " That after a long t °dere:ice between Colonel Brown and Major Lidwill, about the hour of two o'clock (i9th Nov.), it was arranged between those Gentlemen, that my making the following declaration should terminate the affair then peuding between Mr. I'erl and me:— That I had great satisfaction in declaring to Colonel Brown, that I would be glad the words were obliterated from Mr. Peel's recollection.' " Therefore it was after my avowal of my determi nation, under my then circumstances, not to agree to any explanation, that Col. Brown, on his return to my hotel at three o'clock, communicated to Major ',litchi his final resolution, and the motives which led him to adopt it. A copy of the declaration I allude to being left with me, I conceive it to be a fact, therefore, nor included in the stipulation between the above Gen. theme,,, viz. " Not to disclose any confidential com. munication."
