will soon dearly pay for their conduct. ." Heoy
artillery have crossed from Montreal, and the ex-
pedition from our side must soon move. Unfa-
vourable winds have continued for five or six
week past, and a change• is much- desired, that
the troops in the river may ge-t up. Only part of

now begius to think that John Buil is in earnest,"

(Illuminati), nearly cost the Emperor his
Three of the Chiefs tried to break down the walls
.of the apartment in" which the Emperor was, but
being, discovered they were shot by the second
son and a nephew of the Emperor with pistols.
The eldest of the Brothers of the Monarch was
suspected of having taken a part in the Insurrec-
tion. But the repugnance which the Chinese feel
to inflict a capital punishment upon the eldest of
a family, saved his life. The Chinese attrftute all
the calamities they experience to the Comet in
1811.

ready arrived here direct 'from Norway. One of

dent of the last Assembly, who had a great in-
fluence on Prince Christian, and on the Nor-
wegian nation ; and on several occasions.made
violent speeches.—Colonel Brorker is especially
charged with the restoration•of the comnwnica-
tion between . Denmark and Norway. Prince
Christian Frederick is expected backinwnediately.
He has'beeo for some time indisposed and low
spiiited, seeing him Self deserted on
.every side.
After the last Convention, he .was so weak that
he was obliged to be carried on board tite

The Norwegian Diet will the leSs hesitate to
proclaitu the union of Norway with Sweden, as
almost the whole Norwegian Army has separated,
and is entirely disbanded. The whole business,
therefore, of this Diet will consist Merely in bring-
ing before the Public; in' a proper form, the or-
' dens whiCh the Swedish Government shall suggest.
With respect to the circumstances which pre-
ceded the conclusion of the Coniention of Moss,
the following may:he added ;—,The Commander
of Frederickstirdt, Gen. Qhme, had declared he
would defend himself to the last extremity, and
he made, a most determined resistance. Colo-
nel Ktidi had also assembled about tcu thou-
sand • peasants near Kongswinger to attack
the SlYettes. in thel3ot all _these ef-
forts were in vain. When the Norwegian mer-
chants saw there was no hope of assistance from
England, they retired. -Liciit.-Colonel Hjals,
Ctiomander of Frederickstadt, was a traitor, for
he gave up the fortress without firing a shot
Colonel Stadell and (*nem) Staffeld behaved so
ill that they were cashiered ; General Harthausen
suffered time army to be three days without provi-
sions ; so that it is said in the report of General,
Alunifeld ,the troops Were exhausted, and suffered
every kind of privation—Finally, an Opposition
Party expressed their sentiments openly. All this
together so affected Prince Christian that he sign-I
ed the Convention.—(Netherlands Courant, Sep-
