SWEDEN.

The following is a copy of the Speech deli-
livered to a Deputation of the Norwegian Stor-
thing, by the King of SWEDEN, upon his arrival
at Christiana on the Ist, when the President, M.
SIBItERN, was introduced, and addressed his MA-
JESTY in the name of the Storthing

" I receive, with very great pleasure, the assurances of your
attachment, for I know that they are the sincere expression of
the sentiments of the nation. You have expressed what it has
so often proved. Never doubt my gratitude; the anxiety
which I have manifested for your welfare is a lively proof of
it. My honour, my happiness, are intimately connected with
those of the Norwegian nation. And when, conformably to
the order of Nature, I shall cease to exist, my Son will con-
tinue the work which I have happily commenced—that of ce-
menting the independence and prosperity of Norway.
" I am not insensible to the inconveniences that you may
have incurred by quitting your commercial and agricultural
occupations, or other branches of industy in which you may
individually be engaged ; but I do not doubt a moment of your
patriotism and eagerness to make personal sacrifices, when the
welfare of the State is concerned, and I think that, when ne-
cessity requires them, prompt remedies are those which ought
to be preferred.

" I have caused propositions to be laid before you, respect-
ing the measures which I think useful in the present state of
1 the finances of the kingdom. If, in the course of your discus-
sions, your view of things does not accord with mine, I shall
know how to respect, your constitutional jurisdiction, and you
will give me no displeasure by frankly speaking your senti-
ments. I shall never entertain the idea that a difference can
arise from any other motive than that of real patriotism. I did
consider that it would be advantageous to Norway to find in
herself the aid which circumstances require, and to avoid, as
much as possible, all foreign dependence ; also, that, to
realize this view, it only required a judicious application of
the effective resources which we possess. But if the com-
mercial interests regard with alarm the loans which the
Bank would make to the State—if you dread that the result
would be a new deterioration of paper money, I forego my
opinion. I am, it is true, decidedly averse from annual loans,
which absorb the national wealth, but 1 willingly accede to one
general loan, adequate to the fulfilment at once of our engage-
ments with Denmark. IVe shall find acceptable conditions,
and I know that we have means of repayment in the course of
thirty years. I wish not to exercise the slightest influence in
your deliberations; I only desire to discharge my Royal duty,
and to follow the inclinations of my heart, by aiding you with
my advice as a friend and as a father; and it gives me pleasure
0, be convinced that you will never misconceive the purity of
my intentions.

" I duly appreciate the regret which you express, because
my Son does not accompany me in my journey hither. .You
may rest assured, Gentlemen, that the attachment you bear to-
wards hiM is completely reciprocal. His absence will not be
long; he will return into our Peninsula towards the close of
next month ; but ere a few days more have elapsed, I shall
make to you some communications respecting him, which will
'be highly gratifying.
" I implore Providence, Gentlemen, that he will vouchsafe
to direct your labours, and I assure you all of my Royal
good-will."

A letter from Jacmel (Hayti), dated the Ist
ult., says—" The day before yesterday some
Members of the Legislative Assembly, now in
the midst of its session, were arrested by order of
the President, together with several other indi-
viduals, for what cause is not known ; but it is
supposed the arrest has relation to the late in-
trigues of General ItomAINE. The number of
persons disaffected to the existing Government is
undoubtedly very considerable, but the firmness
of President BOYER, the devotion of the soldiery
to him, and the attachment of the great mass of
the population, render it probable that nothing
will disturb the tranquillity and security of this
country. General ROMAINE'S execution was
very sudden and unexpected. An aide-de-Camp
of the President was seen riding at full speed
into Leogani a few mornings since, who carried
the fatal order, which was immediately executed.
ROMAINE was an important personage under
CHRISTOPHE, whom he served as a Getteral, and
bore the title of Duke of EMBE."
