The aforesaid letter of his Majesty was publicly read on the 19th inst. in presence of the ci-devant Mem laers of the Regency ; their functions immediately ceased. In virtue of the powers with which his . Ma jesty the King has invested me, in the manner afore said, I give public notice to all the-inhabitants of Pomerania, that they conform themselves to this Royal Ordonnance; and, in consequence, address to me all those papers which would formerly have been presented to the d-devant Regency, but to send, notwithstanding, duplioates to the Archives of that Regency." " Done in the Fortress of Stralsund, June -2 t, 1806. (Signed) " Baron D'EssEN. " J. C..SINNIG." The Regency of the Country being deposed, and the Military Governor already in possession of his funaions, his Majesty, on the 26th of June, ad dressed a second letter to him, by which his Ma jesty abolished the Constitution, and dissolved the States of the Pro Vince, in ordet that they should be re-placed by the Laws . and the Constitutional Autho rities .of Sweden. Here 'follows the letter, which put the last hand to these remarkable changes, and which has been published 'enfire - : . " With concern we, have 'tong since perceived, that all the pain and solicitude that we have been en gaged in,. for the prosperity of our faithful Pomera . - elan Subjects, have Met with unexpected difficulties 'in their execution ;• which have either prevented the fulfilment of our benevolent-views, or retarded their effeels, by continual' delays and a recourse upon every occasion to ancient privileges. 'We are the more convinced 'of the imperfe6tions of the present -Constitution, from the consideration of the rapid -progress olindustry, and the increase of population, in those Countries wheie all those obstacles have _ceased, which. hitherto' have- deprived our German .States of those sources of prosperity so necessary to .a well organized State. We have lately had a fresh .proof of the dangerous consequences of the present .order of things : our ,Order for raising the Pomera niair in consequence of a very unsuitable in _terpretation, has been referre4.%y the States to the examination of the TfibunaJS'of the Empire, at a when' the Enemy threatened 'the Frontiers of the Country. - " The consideration of theSe important motives— the late -events which have ., occurred-- r ond . a de sire - to consolidate the security of . .the Country, have reduced•ns to . the ncicessityof declaring-- r 6 That 'the,Constitution•tsihieh has hitherto governed our German States'dwceak - frani this day ; that the Pro,- NiticiaLState9 and`Ctitincils are. dissolVe'd ; and that all Institution's relative thereto be abolished' for ever.' But if, on,the one.hand, 'we have been forced to take this resolution, on the other we wish to prove, that our only design, is. to secure- the future prosperity of our .erinanSubjeds,andnot to assume to ourselves oppres sive rigbts ; and of this we have thought that we could Trot give a nrore convincing proof than by introducing the Swedish Constitution into ,our German States. As King,of : a free people, and art.obeying only the law, we feel a particular pleasure in preparing a happier fate for our Subjeas of Pomerania and Rur • nen. Equal, 'both in respect of their duties to us, and intarespect their immunities 'and privil.?ges---proteeted by just laws—they, will, no longer form a body sepa rated from the Swedish people; but will, on the contrary; enjoy in fraternal union the benefits of a Constitution which haS. established, fdr ages, the se curity of that people. .. -" We ordain,' by this A&, that the Constitution of the Kingdom 'of Sweden, of the 2 Ist of-August,' 1773 ; the Ads of 'Onion and of Security of the 21st of February, and 3d of April, 1759; the Privileges and Inn - nullities granted to the four Estates of Swe, den,. and tbd Law of that Kingdom, he' in future the fundamental and constitutional Laws of our Gil:ina:n States. We ordain, that all the necessary dispositions be nude to put this 'ACI in execution. On this occasion we however declare, in the most solemn manner, to our PoMeranian,Subjeds, that they shall never be subjeded, either for the present. or 'the future, to the payment of the debts of the Xingdom of Sweden ; or to the imposts which have.relation to it. ,Moreover, if any thing should -occur which respeetS, peculiarly and properly, Pomerania and Rugen, and on which, conforinably to the Swedish Constitution, we ought to hear the humble supplications of the Representatives of the Country, we will convoke them in a General Diet, in the country itself; this Convocation, fur which the shall give ulterior orders, shall be held without delay; and.it Will give satisfaQion to our heart to see assembled round our Throne a faithful people, who, no longer led astray by a complicated Constitution, and fulfilling the duties of Subjeds, will secand, by th.±ir assistance, our paternal efforts for their prospe .

HOUSE OF PEERS. •WEIDIN4.;SDAV, THE House wet about three L'ClOCii, Mr. Johnson, from the Office of the Chief Secre- tary fbr Ireland, presented the Third Report of the Commissioners of Inquiry in Ireland ; which was ordered to lie on the Table, and to by printed. The House was adjourned during pleasure, to robe. About a quarter past three, the LORD CHANCEL LOR, Earl FITZWILLIAM, and Earl SPENCER, took their seats in their robes, as His Majesty's CommiS— sionerS. Mr.•Quarme, the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, was sent to the House of Commons, to require their attendance. • The SPEAKER, attended by the lvhole House, shortly atterWards came to the Bar, when His Ma jesty's Commission having been read at the Fable, the Royal Assent was notified in. the usual form to the ScOts Treasury • Chambers Bill, the Scots For feited Estates Bills, the Customs Regulation Bill, the Oak Bark Bill; the Public Harbours Bill, the Eccle, siastical Corporation Bill, and Houston's Estate t The LORD CHANCELLOR then, in His Majesty's naroe, delivered the Speech.

A Report was this morning tirettlated the City, that the EMPER6II of RtISSI'A had cOncluded separate Peace with prance.; the Funds feil iia ctin,- sequence full 1 per• Cent. We have not time to ascertain. the truth of this report, but it obtained general credit in the City. WE received last night Paris arid Distal Papers, the former to the 14th, and the latter to the 19th inst.; and this Morning the Haniburgh Mails due on Wednesday. se'nnight and Sunday last arrived,—, We have extra&ed every article 9f, 3tly impQrtanee which they contain. THE Speech delivered yesterday by the, Lap CEIANCErtidR on flie . PraTogation of Parliament, and Which we were enabled -to lay before our Reader,s, fully confirms what We have stated respe6tirig the Negotiation With France.—lt distinaly states that there are at present Discussions - pending with the French Government, the objeec of which ;is the re., storation of Peace ; and that is all that, under the present circumstances, His Majesty's; Ministers could with propriety communicate, because any al lusion to the probable result of the Negotiation would certainly have been premature. Rut it is !::3; ident that our Ministers are very, ready to-procure the bless ings of Peace, if they can be obtained upiriiiir and honourable terms. Whether their efforts will indeed be met with " a cotresponding disposition' on the part of the Enemy," is a question - that,. if we, were to judge by the past, would not be, easily de cided; but as BoNAPAETE is arrived at-such a height as aught to satisfy even his ambition, he may coa cede some points which, in a situation less prosperous and triumphant, his pride would, no doubt, induce him to refuse: At all events, as the langute'of the . British Monarch expressly states that the success of the Negotiation " must depend on a corresponding disposition on the part of the fle.tny,'' the trench_ People will have a full Opportunity of deciding upon the sincerity of those prossions of a pacific temper „ . which their Ruler has so Often_ avoWed. . Hence, it he resort to fraud, artifice, and , axtravagatit pretea= siens, they will see howlittle Great Britain `will te to blame if they ar&sacrificed to the views,of ,dinate ambition. • Two reports have recently been circulated respeEt.; ing the Squadron, of JEROME BONAPARTR ; ,one of which states, that the 'whole of his Squadron has been captured ; and the other, that .he had taken and destroyed our Settlements in Newfuundland; There appears to be not the ski htest foundation for either of these reports. .
