SWEDIS II PROCLA MATION.

- " STOCKHOLM, FEB. 30.
" Inhabitants if Norway !—The King of Den-
mark has, by-a Treaty concluded at Kiel 'on the
14th of ?January last, renounced irrevocably, and

.in perpetuity, for himself and iris successors, to the
Throne and' Kingdom of Denmark, in favour of
us and our successors to the Throne and Kingdom
of Sweden, all his rights and titleS of the King-
dom of Norway ; and you arc released, inconse-
(pence of this cession, from the oath of fidelity
which you have taken to the King and Crown
of De,nmark, The Swedish troops will, in copse-
quenee,- pass your frontiers. Receive them with
tranquillity and confidence; they come as bre-
thren, as soldiers of the same people, whoM Na-
ture has destined to be united. The stranger who
may menace your soil can only come to seize on
your property and your rights.- The Swedish
troops, issued from the same fathers as yourselves,
come to bring to you your rights And liberty.
" Our Governor-General will have recourse to
the understanding of the most distinguished of
your Nation, in order to be enabled .to present for
your acceptance the plain of a Constitution eon-
ftirmable to your wants, and securing your happi-
ness. We previously, assure you that this Con-
stitution 'shall be founded on the two noblest
rights-Of a free and loyal people,
.that of Hathinal
- repregentation, and that of taxing yourselves.
f Such, Norwegians, is the wish of our heart,
which has no other aim but to render you happy.
o,l—well-beloved, son, the Generalissimo of the
Forces by:land awl sea of the two kingdoms, w-ho
is at. this moment coinbating for the liberty and
independence of nations, 'will know how to re-
'spect yours, and is animated with the same senti-
iients in reiai•d to. you as ourself, and will trans-
mit them to, his son.'Let all rivalry,heneeforth
cease between the two nations of the Scandina-
vian' Peninsula. It is ip iii)itin.and mutual con&
• •

deuce that their strength consists. Without am-
' bition beyimsd their liCuits, they will have no other
than to defend their teiritory. The war will no
longer extend 'to your countries. The mountains
ivhieh separate Sweden from Norway will now
cease to be frontiers. The two. countries will
henceforth need no other ramparts than the waves
• which surf-broad them, and the valour of their in-
habitants.• We have taken all necessary measures
to secure and accelerate yonr supplieS of provi-
sions.. The re-establishment of your commerce,
the opening of your-ports, will second our efforts"
and prepare for you sources of prosperity long un-
known. You will recompence, we doubt not,
the paternal cares which we shall never cease to
bestow awn you by the maintenance of public
order, by the obedience due to your new Sove-
-eign, by the confidence which you will repose in
1,••io, and by a true lose of your country."
