" The public prints mentioned some time ago a corres-
powderce betwecu the late of Sweden and the petticoat
King. The occasion of this correspondence was the foltow-
ing :—The ron of the ilepoeed King had scarcely approached
the age at which a Crowu Prince of SlVeltell, according to
the laws of that kiintibio, may be declared of full age, with
the pennies' of his father, when Gustavus IV. siguilied to
him his intention to give bin, Ibis permission, and at the
same time that he ',peeled him from HeidelherT, at Henan
(where the Ex. King at that time resided), in order to give
him his patents! advice respecting the relations in which lie
might come forward in life. He believed that he ought to
dissuade him from making any pretension to the Swediah
Throne; bet wits, however, of epiriuu, that if the Prince
eutertainal different notions on this subject from his father,
who did not feel tempted to wish to govern a nation which
bad rejected him as its Mortarch, the Prince owed it, at all
events, to his station, as sewn as be was of age. publicly to
declare himself respecting his pretensions to the Swedish
Throw,; whethe► be were resolved le reserve them, sir to
bring them forward when tune mid opportunity offered, or
wholly to renounce them.
" Prince Gustavus Aci:linril the permission to declare him-
self of age, and indeed all negoeiutiosi with his father on the
subject. The latter, therefore, in a letter dated Hamm.
Angebt td, 1817, aermainted ale present King of Swede. of
this oilier. In the reply, which is without date, the King
(then Curvet Prince) of Swedes. acknowledges the parity and
cousciesitionassesa of the Ex•King'u political priucipks.
though the formality of • renunciation of the Swedish

Throw, that might be made by Prince Gustavus would merely
recognise the right of the nation to choose a new Dynasty,
but would not give this right to the oration, which already
possessed it, and had made use of it in three eketions sines
the abdication of Gustavus IV. Should Prince Gustavus
one day attempt to interfere with the rights mid the tranquil-
lity of the Swedish nation, Providence would protect, as it
has hitherto done, the Scandinavian Peroinonla, and the re-
gard sad inviolable allianceof the Emperor Alexander would
disapprove of every intrigue ',cellist Sweden. The nation
would not renounce the right sit choosing its Dynasty, as
an hereditary privilege. At the last election, the King of
Denmark, among others, was a candidate fur the Swedish
Throne, and was supported by Napoleon. Rot no power had
at that time suppoi led its pretensions by force. The choice
fell unanimously on the Crown Priori., whom the King
adopted as ►is sun. lie had nut considered the invitation
to the Throue as a happiness, for as Governor of a country

conquered by France, he had learned how greatly Princes
were to be pitied, •ho desired to perform in a worthy man-
lier the ditties of their ststioa, and were hindered by dream-
maims. Ile wished that hie mammon might cosstantly
bear in mind theprineiple of all limes mid ages that Princes
are bore fur the good of the people, and that the latter are
not the properly of a few families."

11/ the circle of Lets►nig, in the kingdom of
Saxony, one of the most horrible murder., at which
humanity must blush, was committed out of reli-
gious fanaticism on the 19th of July. For some
time past there has been formed, under the direc.
tinu of a common artisan, of the name of Kloos, a
pretty numerous sect, who feel themselves impelled
by conscience to make sacrifices, not only accord-
ing to the rites of the Old Testament, of animals,
but even iu the Pagan manner, of human beings.
Several preceding attempts to kill men, and even
their own children, have failed, till at length a poor
man, who was iiot a member of the sect, has been
murdered in the most atrocious manner, sa a victim
of the (mot dreadful fanaticism. The whole coun-

has not yet succeeded in discoverisig.

and were the inhabitants of Berlin wrong in re-

take a similar patriotic resolution without doing

Some Jewish merchants have contracted for the
