PROCLANIATION

OF PRINCE CHRISTIAN TO, THE NORWEGIANS.
.“ NORWEGIANS,-When, upon the dissolution
of your union with Denmark, we took, upon our-
self the'direction of the affairs of NOrway, it was
to prevent your-. beloved country from being torn
to pieces by civil %val. and.factions. Ybur wishes
called us to the throne' of Norwaywe obeyed
the call—your confidence, and your gopd cause'
demanded our participation. We resolved tb
make every personal sacrifice, in order to,secure
to you 'those benefits.
" It is true we were aware of the dangers.
which threatened your hopes and ours, in such
au unequal contest ; but we could not possibly
conceive that the most powerful States of Eu-
rope would combine to oppress a noble and in-
nocent people, whose reasonable wish was li-
berty, and whose only desire was independence.
Meanwhile Sweden's powerfal, envoys in-
formed us by their envoys, that the union of Nor-
way with Sweden was irrevocably determined on
It is known to you that we were willing to sacrifice
our personal happy situation, if the great Assein'-
bly of the Nationshc,ild find it conducive to the
.happiness of the nation ; but you likewise know,
that the conditiobs upon Which an armistice was
at that time offered, were such that we' could- not
accede to them, till the fortune of,
,w+ir had. been
tried, because they were contrary to the funda-
mental law.

We saw with regret that our sincere endea-
vours to avoid a war in the North were fruitless.
The e.denSitre frontiers and sea-coast of Norway
made it necessary to divide the troops. Sweden-
made great exertions to arm at different points.„
and in the uncertainty on what part- of the king-
dom the attack
_might be expected, fro-n which
we could cover the interior provin -es of the king-
dom,. and at the.same time hasten to the assistance
of such points as were threatened or attacked. in
all these respects-Plonunen seemed to present the
most advantages.:
"'On being informed of the enemy's invasion
by Ide, Stetting, and.Swinesund, we haStened to
collect a corps at Rackestadt, in order by an at-
taCk from that side to stop the fitrther progress
ft f the eneniv but -the unexpected surrender of
Frederickstadt obliged us to take a position on:
the Glommen, the enemy having obtained a se-
. cure passage, so that the road to Christiania
might be forced.
" The enemy being superior atsea, bad it in
his power, by frequent landings, to,turn our right
flank. A long blockade by, the English and Swe-
dish naval force had hbidered us from furnishing
otir magazines in a sufficient:manner ; ,they were
nearly. .exhausted, and want of the first necessii.
ties threatened to, break that courage which tlic
superior force of the enemy could not bend. - The
deputies from the Diet were not received by the
English Ministry, and therefore returned without
any hope of assistance, or a relaxation of the
inimical, measures of that kingdom.
" Under these circumstances, Sweden proposed
an armistice. Of the two fortresses, the occupa-'
tion of which by Swedish troops had been refused
in the negociation than were broken off,' one was
already in their hands, and the other cut of}' from
all relief, and bombarded. The fortune of,,K4r
had declared against. us, and the continuation 9f
-the contest would, in such circumstanees,
,led only, to the total ruin of our country. Tue
prevent this, and to give the nation an opportu-
nity of learning the condition of the kingdom by
a,meeting of the Diet, we repeated` our offer of

letters were received from Ghent to the 2d

bavebeen meetings,. both accidental and ceremo-
nious, between' the respective CounniSsioners, yet

thatthere have been none by appointment for

any conference since the 25th of the last month.
We are informed that a grand banquet is to be
given by the American Plenipdtentiaries„ at which
the British Agents" "are to attend," • and to
Ivhich also are invited the 'Mayor and. Prin-
eipal Functionaries of the City, and several of
the Nobility in the immediate neighbourhood,
and we mention this circUinstance only because
the complimentary festivity to be given by the
Republican Envoys is likely to,be construed into
a formal political interview for the important pun=
poses of the pending or suspended negociation."

By the arrival' of the last packet from the to

frigate-was preparing to bring AL DE SALDANHA
DE GAM A as Atoba'ssador Extraordinary to this
Country, and from hence to proceed to the Con,-
gress at Vienna hejs a Portuguese Nobleman 'of
great abilities, and was formerly Governor of 31a-
ranham, and afterwards'of. Angola, which trust
he discharged with the greatest Credit to him Self,
and benefit to his country. This Nobleman, is
brother of the late Count DA PONTE.

The. Company's schooner St. Helena, Captai7
ATKIIsISOY, was dispatched-yesterday at the
.Indian
House, and will proceed immediately for the island
of that name. 'lb is schooner'is appointed for the
express pU'rpose of keeping up a regular commu-
nication between St. Helena and the Cape,- and it
will, it is said, be extended from the latter settle-
ment to India.

The advlces from Greenock repeat, with -fur-
ther evidence in confirmation, the former accounts
of a firing at se:i, on the 22d tilt. indicative of a
naval engagement at • the entrance of the North
Channel.

Prince FREDERICK, second son of the Prince of
ORANG-E, arrived on Friday at Exeter. He was
accompanied by the Lcrd .Bishop of the diocese
in viewing the Cathedral and public w4iits of the
City, and dined at his Lordship's Palace. His
Royal Highness arrived at Southampton on Fri-
day night.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Of WALES,
previon& to her quitting England for 'the. Con-
tinent, nilde, as is reported, an arrangement that'
all those domestics of her Household, who on that
occasion might be discharged, should receive one
year's wages, and board Wages until they should
procure another situation ; and to thoSe faithful
domestie.s who had been some years in her service,
her Royal Highness granted annuities for their
lives.
It has already been mentioned that FRROINAND
VII. instead of renewing the Family Compact
with France, had signed a Treaty of Alliance with,
us. This rumour gains credit from the following
statement, which has been given to us as a fact :
Unwilling to 'sanction the unjust and impolitic
system' adopted by the Spanish _Monarch towards
the distinguished patriots of the Revolution, and
considering himself, as a relation, entitled to
tree expression of his sentiments, Louts L'_lll.
lately refused to send tut Ambassador, to the Court
of Madrid; until .FERDINAND Vii. SIIO6I have
granted and published a general and unconditional
mriety for the past. He accompanied this re-
fusal by a letter, written with his own hand, in
which he remonstrated with energy against his
measures, and concluded by solemnly inviting him
to beware, lest his conduct should dishononr.the
House .to which he belOnged and the age in
which he lived.—(illornin4 Post.)

Above 100 French cows were exposed for sale

Large importations of wheat and oats have aN
rived in the river within the last ten days from
France, as well as the Baltic, which have consi-

lane. •

CORN EICCHANGE,. SEPT. 7.—We had but few
arrivals of any kind of Grain this morning, but
what was left over from Monday was quite equal
to the demand to-day. The sales in general
were very dull. The prices in the few sales ef-
fected were on the same terms as on Monday
fine samples full as dear.
The fine old steeple of Kilwinning, after wea-
thering the storm for seven centuries, being
obliged at •last to yield to the desolating band of
an elegant new 'one, in the ancient style,•is
to be immediately built,. principally owing to the
munificence and public spirit of the Right lion.
the Ea7l Of EGLI NT.014, who is to contribute a very.
large share-towards its erection.

Anew bridge was lately erected over the Tweed
at Drnmelzier, of wood, with landstools of mason.
work, and tresses of .cast-iron to support the
middle. There being no bridge on the riser
'nearer than Peebles, this one promised to be of
great utility, being supposed stroll enough for
people on
,horseback'. On 'Thursday
y night, one
of the rapid spots; so common to this river, wash-
ed away one of the landstools, which led to the
destruction of the whole bridge.

counties_ of Monninuth•and Glopeester, for erect-

a considerable time past compiained• of violent
pains in the chest,
,which, notwithstanding many
remedies being resorted to, increased to such a
degree that he died a few days since in great
agony. Its body was opened, and near the heart
was found a brass ring, which it is supposed the
poor child had accidentally s wallowed, and thereby
produced the great torments he must 'have been
afflicted with previous to his prematnre.deatL
