"" THE STATESMAN: _ never talked like Gems; and if the KING'S life should be menaced, I will be the first to make a ram part rohnd his body." As Hantkt says, "he will no doubt keep his word." We have given the very interesting reply of Prince CURISTIAR Of NORWAY to the imperative orders of his Royal Uncle, the King of DENMARK, to resign his command as Regent of that country, which his Majesty bas been constrained to cede by treaty to the Crown of Sweden. What heart, not in discord to the sweet sounds of liberty, will not vibrate in sympathy with the people of that frozen quarter of the globe! Their condition is truly critical. While, on the one hand, nations should pay the highest re spect to the conditions of the public treaties they en. ter into ; yet, on the other, the fate or fortune of the brave Norwejians eill not fail to impress Courts hereafter with a due consideration of their effect upon the persons and conditions of human creatures. These ought not fo be transferred, like brote animals or dead property, from hand to hand, at the will of a capricious, and, perhaps, a coward ly King. We shall see what the people of Great Britain, what the ions of Erin and England (whose hearts have always beaten high at the sound of the word freedom) will say and feel, in compassion and eouni,pration for the sufferings of the people of Norway ; whose distance from the philanthropist and Sweden.
