The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEMUER felt it in- Compatible with his duty to give any answer to the question, till a communication should be re gularly made to.-Parliament - upon the subject, by order of the Prince Regent. Mr. WHITBREAD thought the House of Com mons had been treated with disrespect, and that it was extraordinary that the first communication ' on this subjeci p should come fr<im a foreign Prince (the Sovereign of the Netherlands). Ile trusted, when the communication should be made, it would contain a reCommendation to establish cer tain secntities to prevent her Royal:Highness from being taken out of the kingdom, which miglit be 'attended with the most serious consequences to this kingdom. Mr. RENNET wished to a3k the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if three sums of 13,000 t. each had not been advanced before the time, out of the fund set apart for discharging certain incum .brances of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent; and if so, when these sums would be replaCed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admitted the fact of such advance having taken place. 'The ninney was placed in , the hands of the Commis , sinners, and would be paid by instalments upon the Droits of the Admiralty. He also believed, that in the course of three years the whole of the •incmuhrances would be discharged... Mr. TIERNEY said, that 50,000/.•per annum bad been set apart for.,the discharge of certain incum brances ; and be was happy to hear, that they would be discharged in the course of three years. The CHANCELLOR Of the - EXCHEMITEn stated, in explanation, that he was not himself one of the Commissioners for liquidating the incumbrances alluded to, but believed the statement he had made was correct. • 'SITUATION OF NORWAY. Mr. WHITBREAD said, he bad another question to put for the sake of humanity. It was known, that by the .treaty with Sweden, Norway was guaranteed to that power. The Norwegians, however, appeared indisposed to this measure, gad determined to resist the Swedish yoke. Our Government, it was stated, had taken measures to prevent interconrse with Norway, a n d conse quently to dep r i v e that country of the means of Obtainingprovisions : in short, that we had under taken the task of starving Norway into a submis sion not to be effected by force. He wished to know if orders to this end had been issued. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQU ER observed, in a low tone, th a t thi s su bj ect was delicate, and the circumstances were peculiar ; ,but ,that the House was aware of tii'e arrangements of the treaty._ WHITBREAD.—Then the plan'of starvation is really ado7trl. Mr. WillTilitEAD presented a petition from the master cart-'wheelwrie•hts. Captain BENNETr asked some questions respecting the Droits of Admiralty ; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer said, the account, would be produced in due time. Mr. WYNNE presented a pet.lion from Zlr. Wright. • Dr. DIJIGENAN obtained.icave to bring in a'bill of legu 'otion, respecting Irish Ecclesiastical Courts. The Colonial Bill to be reported on Monday.

" CHRISTIAN FREDERICK: " Christiania, Feb. 19, 1814." PROCLAMATION TO THE PEOPLE OF NORWAY. NORWEGIAN'S !-You have heard that his Danish Majesty Frederick VI. notwithstanding his 'ardent affection for the Norwegian people, • Oiel' we gratefully acknowledge, ;has been forced to renounce his right to the Throne of Norway. You have learnt with' indignation that you are ceded to a neighbour who thought, you we a k enough to let yo u r inflexible courage be shaken by an inhuman 'system of starving you, to submit to a foreign yoke, and to bend beneath commands which disgrace your ancient valour. The free people of Norway can fix their own fate. Sear to ensure the pendence of your country the Almighty to witness your immoveable resolution ; and invoke the blessing of Heaven on your beloVed country ! It is by God's appointment, faithful Norwegians,, that I, the Heir .of Norway - s Thro4e, am now among you! You tnay save yourselves by the bond of concord which binds your hearts.=-I have heard the voice of the people, which loudly demands in dependence, and powerful unconditional oppo sition to all' violence from without. That is enough to induce me, , animated as I am with the wiamest 2eal for the happiness and honour of Norway, to remain among this faithful people, as long as I can contribute by my pre sence to your independence, to the internal order and peace of the country. Called by Providence to guide thefhelm of the State at this decisive mo ment, I will, with a' steady hand, and de:Tising every danger, protect Norway's security, and maintain Its most sacred laws. An Assembly of the most enlightened men of , the nation, choien by yourselves, shall form the plan of a COnstioi tion, founded on unanimity and Wisdom,, and so give this count - 1y new strength against open -and secret enemies. It will depend on their resolu tions, whether I shall, return the Dignity . to which the wishes of the people now call me. " BeloVed People of Norway,—l have .111- ready received many proofs of your loVe .and confidence. I shall feel myself secure aniong you ; I shall ender your to obtain peace for you, and by that means new sources of prosperity and industry ; and .it shall be my chief aim to keep he evils of war far from your sacred frontiers rely when foreign violence attempts to Violate the Leedom and the independence of the kingdom, icu shall it be seem ethat you have in your arms strength to revenge insult, and courage i your hearts to prefer' death to subjection. _ • shall, indeed, still have to suffer want and dis ress, if irreeoneilekible enemies will not allow e kingdom 4t) enjoy repose - ; but on ou'r front tiers there is only one feeling, to sacrifice every thing for the country, and for the assertion of the ancient honour of Norway. Gold will crown our endeavours, and Norway evil) furnish it new prow; of the truth, - that a people that fears God, -and loves its country, is invincible. " FREDERICK.
