Coi'ENHAGENi MARCH 13.--13 y priVate leiftra -
and travellers we have the following highly
ii
terestingaletails from Norway. ,After* that Liett4
tenant-Colonel ReYner had arrived on the 18th
of January from Fuhtien, bringing. to Prince
Christian Frederick the news of the treaty eon.:
eluded With Sweden, the -Prince repaired to the
tountry seat of the Chamberlain; Mr. Carsten
.Anker, near Christiana; assembled there the most
considerable personS, civil, military; and ecelesi-
astical, the professors, merchants, and depeties;
who were met to regulate the finances of the bank
of the kingdom, On. the 28th of January. Thee
he laid before theisi the treaty of peace, asking
them if they were of opinion that the people. of
Norway were inclined to defend their Primwval
independence against the demands of Sweden. .
•They unanimously declared in, the affirmative, and
earnestly besought the Prince to remain. at the.
head of the Government. They at the same time
resolved on nominating him Prince Regent of
Norway. The Prinee immediately repaired to
the frontiers, then to Rofaas, and lastly over the
mountains to Thrond Crian, the ancient capital of -
the North. The -people thronged in crowds to
meet him, with their wives and children, from the
summits of Doorefetdt, and the deepest vallies,
calling out to him, " We will conquer or die for
old :Sorway'S freedom, and thou shalt not leave
us." (By an ancient custom the people alivays
call the Sovereign Tbou,) So-Abe journey con
tinned throUgh all Norway; and when the Prince
arriVed•at Guldbrandshal (remarkable for the cir-
cumstance, that•formerly an hostile army, under
Sinclair, fell there under the attacks of the moun-
taineers, • so that a single -messenger of the de-
feat was not left alive), *he .alighted -near the
marble pillar set up in commemoration of that
event, and read the inscription in the words
of an old ballad, " -Woe to 'every. Norvre. •
gian whose blood does not boil in, his veins
when his eyes behold this monument," and
called to the peaaants,• " Will you, like yaw,
forefathers, sacrifice your- blood, your lives, for •.
the sacred cause of your country-1" which. was
answered by a thqilsandfold Atuzza from the sur-
rounding multitude. Then heentered Drontheim
amid universal acclamations, and alighted at the
house of General Von Krogh, a man bf 80 years
-a& age. There the most considerable inhabitants
were assembled at a solemn entertaihthent; , and .
though the owner of the house could-licit 'be pre-
sent at it, on account Of, his age and indisposi-
tion, he, however, caused himself to 'he led in at
the-end of the entertainment, and amid universal
acclamations, drank the health'of Prince Chris- •
tian, as Regent. From this town, which per 7
haps is' intended to bec6the the capital, the Prince,
after a stay of four days,. returned to Christiana,
and immediately after arrived Counts Rosen, Es-
sen, •and Pahnstierna, with the news of the-rati-
fication of the Peace, and With the Danish and
Swedish Proclamation. Tise Prince invited theta
to tin entertainment, at which all the most. consi-
derable inhabitants were present, but declined
speaking-of business, pretending, that after din-
ner was-not the proper-time for it.
The next day all the bells were rung, and the
cannon fired ; the town guards and the troops
.paraded in the
.street, and Prince Christian .re-
paired to the principal church. The Swedish Plc- ,
bipotentiaries remarked nothing. till they went to
the church, where they arrived just at the mo-
ment that Prince Christian was kneeling down
before the, high altar and taking the oath as Re-
gent. The Prince afterwards' asked them if they
had been in the church, and, on their answering
in the affirulative, said, then they knew his an-
swer. The ..Swedish Plenipotentiaries then de-
parted ; and on the 19th of February appeared
- proclamations of the Prince to the 13. shops, the'
civil officers, the army and navy, the people, the
circular letter, and the address iu the French lan-
guage to all Europe.
The Danish flag was taken down, a funeral, dirge
playing all the time, and the Norwegian colours
wtch a,halt,err, the flag -bl ue with a white
cross) were hung, with loud actlathationb of-joy.
A Council of State, consisting of 17 persots, was
appointed; among them were the three brothers
Auker, Professors Svirtrup, TresChe, and others.
Soon after, the Prince repaired to tLe frontiers,
where 32,,000 men are assembled. Hostilities are
said to have already taken place, but this report _
is not authenticated. All the inhabitants were
eager to take the oath, and even naval officers
with the Crews of all the ships. Assurances are
said to have been received from- England, that
considerable consignments of corn from private
persons may be expected ; 70' ships laden .with
corn are already arrived, and two consignments
of corn left the .English ports. .on the sth, and 6th
or Mardi. A considerable consignment also of
arms and ammunition, designed, for the Swedish.
army, was landed, whether by accident or design, .
at Bergen. It is said that Prince Christian is to
marry an. English Princess ; others, however,.
say, he will marry. the danghter of the Duke of
Augusienburg, who is about 16 years of age., An
Assembly of the States of the .Kingdom is con-
voked for the 10th April, at Eukswohl ; it is to be
.held in the open air, and is to give Norway a
Representative Cousttution, and an kleteditary
Monarchy.. •
