ing Envoys from the Allied Powers, through Sweden, to Chris.
amid ; namely, General Baron de Steigenteselle for Austria ; Major
General orledf, for Russia ; Augustus J. Forster, for En .land ; and
Dlajor Baron de Martens. far Prussia. Some days afterwards the'
had au audience of his Mtsty, and on the 7th instant presented
the fol:owing:—

The undersigeed, charged by their respective Courts with Spe-
cial mission to his Highne.s Prince Christian Frederick or Den-
ma, k, have. the honour to address to him the present official note.
cession Of Norway, produced by the treaty of Kiel. was
goat-winced by the filter Powers, allies of Sweden. That decree of
pulley w•is irrevocably fixed. The ,flied SevereL•n• consider the
union of Norwav to Swede's as one of the bases of the new system
of criiihroon, as a branch of indemnities vehicle it is illiPossiole to
r.-1•1;ire by any other.
Tile events w hieh latterly occurred in Norway, the opposition
s):licht the decision of Europe found there, and the resolution which
hi• Highness has taken to put himself at the head of that opposi-
te"), deterenii.eil the Al:ies of Swede it to take the necessary steps
for etteeting the neion of Norway. It is with this ()eject that the
undersigned have repaired to hi. Highness.'
They are charged to express to him the painful impression which
his proceedings have produced on their Sovereigns, to summon him
tut malty to return within the line of his most sacred duties, and to
&dale to him, that should he refuse to yield to the general wish
of Europe, which reeals him to Denmark, an unequal war will arise
in the Noi th, and arms will infallibly produce what persuasion has
in vain attempted. For this purpose the army of General Count
ingsen, a• well as a corps of Prussian troops, have been played
at the disposal of Sweden, and the general blockade of Norway
has been resolved upon in common concert with Great Britain.
At the same time the King of Denmark, compromised in the
eyes of Monarchs the guarantees of his word, and of the treaty of
Kiel, wes justly irritated against his late übjects for the non-exe—
cution of his will. His Majesty resolved in consequence, through
the intennedium of the -undersigned, to transmit his final orders
to the Prince the Heir of his Crown, who, in quality of first sob
jett, is bound to set the example of obedience to his Majesty's sub—
jects in Norway, Danes by birth, whO, bV retusing to return, will
become guilty of r hellion; and to the Norwegians, in tine, from
wit in, as a last proot of his atketion, he should endeavour to
avert the horrors of a destructive war. _

The adoption of this resolution by his Danish Majesty, and the
orders whirl: the undersigned have received from their respective
('Duets, eliaracterise the nature of their Special mission. The un-
dersiginll deem themselves compelled to declare, that they are by
110 .heans mediator, between Norway and Sweden, but rather Com-
