COMMISsIONEitS OF We have been .unwilling to delay for A aingle moment, solemnly to express to you, Gentlemen, our lively satisfaction .on the great and import ant tesolution %vide!) you adopted in your sitrtng of yesterday. The ever.memorable day has at length arrived, which must terminate the ancient enmities of the :North, anti open- a new. e .ra 0.1 . tranquillity, of glory, and happiness. Norwt. glans and Swedes have thrown aside the arms., which they lately directed Against each other; and on thoe mountains which formed' a hostile frontier, they are about to raise -a trophy conse. crated to concord, and to the new fr►ternal ance of the two nations. There they- will abjure the .errors of prejudice, the cmbnrassing, recollections of the past ; and will promise each other union in counsel, union in dangers,. mutual attachment, and unconquerable courage against oppression.—i- Frem •thence will they proclaim that they wire to no other glory hut that of living independent amidst their mountains, and that the pole and tliu sea are at once the boundaries of their territory 'and of their I►opes. • _ In the name of_c•be King, then, and of his such. cessor, in the narne'of our common country, we convey to you, Gentlemen, the united expression' 'of their satisfaction:. May Providence, who .wategd over the - North, while the destinies of ealathity swept over the rest of Europe, bless the moment when two nations of the sante •11111.ai iu chat:acter, and animated with equal love of liberty, seek, under.the-swa'y oldie same king, a permanent guarantee of their respective rights.. We have•seen, from your resolution, how int , . portant you yourselves consider it, to discoss and promptly to -decide upon the altetations which the, King has projected in the Constitution. \\rejoin you in the same wish to finish this great work with the least . possible delay, that nothing-may retard thesoletnn recognition of., tbe.King and of his successors to. the throne, according to the Or do.

You will learn from his month how well he.knOws , how to appree date a •peciple who feel their own value, and love their liberty. IntOCLAMATION ',OF TIM REPRESENTATIVES OF NORWAY 10 TEIjiIit'COUNTRYMEN. The Representatives • of Norway asseMbled, ac cording to the Royal Proclamation, founded on the Convention entered into at Moss. By thi s Convention they were made acquainted with, the prin:eipal object for. the Diet's consideration. That the sittiation'ortbe country generally was preca rions, and thatjts power of resistance was much weakened by thi armistice which had been con cluded,— with this they wire acTiainted he fore they left their - bares ; as. Norwegians, • they did not dot t tat. ir an honourable peace • could nbt be obtained; they would still find meang to assert tlie honour and liberty of the country, Under •the guidance of a' King who had 'been chosen by the Norwegian people, and -to whom ,the oath of fidelity had been taken. The illness of King Christian Frederick, wbia, 'for a length of time, had made the'Nurwegi a b tta tion uneasy, did parity 'continue. The King could riiit . 'open the Diet in i person. From the speech which hiS- Majesty caused to 'be delivered by his Privy Council,. was perceived, not only the uncertain internal situation of the country, but the moiirriful certainty-was obtained, that Norway . could expect no as§istance from the powerful States. of Europe, and that these persevered 'in alliance"with SWeden. 'lt' akci learnt, that our. beloved' t;ing.,4ith the saine affection. for the Norwegian nation which forinerly determined "his i 11leijesty to place himself at the head of. the people, had now - olTered the sacrifice of cOnsent ing.to_Odieate the Crow n , as this was th e only condition Un_which the armistice could be obtain ,d, which' had become- necessary in order to save the :army and a .great part of the, country. The Icinb issued, the day following',.the act,by whiCii for him Self and his heirs he abdicates the Crown of -Norway,' without any reserve ; arter which, his Majesty. departed the same.evening: The liberty, hononr, and iwlependence of Nor wgv. ;were the ohject . 6 the Diet had to: labour for. If this end could be obtained by a. renewed com bat ; if the means and resources of ' the country were alginate for conducting H Wflr, perhaps a protracted one, against a superior enemy, who had Already acq'►tired considerable advantages ; if there was a gufficieut hope for tilt:fortunate tesuit of the contest to sanction the exposing a great part of the. Country to the calamities of war ; if, after the greatest success, it could he expected that the frontier ought still be defended, and peace. on the ocean, so necessary to Norway, be obtained ; or, if the liberty and independence of the people could be sec'ur'ed througb an 'honourable union with Sweden, protected by the tnaintenance of time Constitution . .of Norway ;----these were the important questions which the Diet had to de cide on. The Assembly followed the dictates of its duty by endeavouring to obtain better information of thereal situation of the country, as well with re gard to the departments of war and the commis• sariat, as to its finances. Commissioners from his Swedish Majesty made proposals of changes in the Constitution, which they considered as necessary for the union with Sweden. That these proposals will be modified and fixed so- as to make them compatible with the liberty-and honour of Norway under the union; Of this the Convention of Moss is the guarantee. The hour in which a resolution was to be taketa had arrived. After the maturest deliberation, animated by an equal zeal .for the honour of Nor way, and for its peace, with a view to the spirit which the representatives of Norway in every di&- trict krrew to prevail, and, not unmindfol of the political and economical advantages which an union with Sweden may procure for Norway, the Diet•has yesterday-taken the following resolution: " Norway shall, as an integral State, be united to S ‘ treden under one King, with the preservation of its Constitntion, subject to such necessary al teration* as the . welfare of the country: may re quire, having,at•the same time regard to the union with Sweden. ' These alterations in the constitu tion, which his'Swedi'sh, Majesty has acknowledged in the convention of Moss, dated 14th of August last, are to be considered told determined on by the Diet as speedily as ; and as soon as this haS been done, the Diet will solemnly elect and acknOwleti ! ,:e the King of Sweden, his Ma jesty Charles MIL as the constitutional King 'of Norway." . . Duriug the cons4:eration of th e s e changes in the Constitution, earn for the liberty of the people and the security of the State shall govern' the la boors of the Diet., Countrymen !- the Representatives of Not way, honoured by your confidence with the high call ing they are fulfilling, are assured your approba- • ticni . wiltrewarfi their exertions ; that you, with a distsosition which is. natural to Norwegians, %rill ' :receive their determination ; and that you parti cipate With them in the hope, that an honourable union with a neighbouring country will euntrihnte to the welfare of Old Norway, which was ever free and independent.

Lie Sivella, One of the Chiefs of Division of the iVai Department, who was sus pected of this offence, having been tried and ac quitted, has been re-instated, and a pension of 1000 francs assigned to his eldest son. His Majesty published on,the day of the Fes tival an amnesty in favour of all offenders de tained in the prisons, or absent from the kingdom, excepting those guilty of the highest crimes, such as leze majesty, divine or human, premeditated assassination, coining, murder of a priest, duelling, malversation in office, blasphemy, &c. We cannot say that these benevolent measures of his Majesty annul the rigorous proceedings of the 3Dth May with regard to expatriated familie4, nar those: which were taken afterwards' against Freemasons, and those who have acqUired national property, for the arrests continue, and many cities of the interior solicit his Majesty as a favour the right to exrel from their territory diVeri persons who lied come to seek an .asylums within, their wills. The elevation of M. t h e Duke of St. Simon to the rank of Captain-General of the Armies of his Ca tholic Majesty is officially published.
