brings the account of having seen his Nlajesty's ship
Alaart, taken near the,Sl3haw,in a calm, by six gtsu-

A `letter received from Carlscrona, this morning,
states, that they .had just- learnt of the Is -d
of Ertholm haring been takeo.tpossession by his
Majesty's ship piClator. . Should this report be

.correct, it will prove•of great imp rtance-to the BriA
fish navy, as the fort and harbour will
,fully
the. Baltic trade; and should occasion.require i. 2o
sail of the line ,aiay.lay conveniently and winter

there, as there is 4bove 40 feet water, and a god

anchorage.

The fortifying of, the coast, as far as Malrnocr-,
still continues with great exertions.

STOCKHOLM, AUG. 15.—His Royal Majesty lEts
sent to the Diet the following message, relative to ;4
pension, which the States are to allow the re
King`GusrAvos ADOLPHUS, his Queen, and chil-
dren

" The period is now fast approaching, when a
Prince, who lately governed Swed,m, but who .e
claim to the Swedish Crown :has been soletnnlY Cll
celled by the unanimous' resolution of the States
of the Realm, must absent himself. from' ibis

country. Their, own spontaneous. wish agrees on
this point with What the public tranquility and
curity requires. His Royal Majesty' has taken the
advice of the Secret_Committee, on a subject
much itnportance; which; however, the st:ite of
public affairs does not yet permit his Majesty to
communicate to the Dieti arid he,' therefire, con.
fines himself at present td the .question—=" What
pensio , br yearly allowance, are -11. e States of the
Realm willing to grant :to their late King, 'his Quee4
and. children ? Which question being answered, an-
other will occur relative to the country; which it will
be most proper to assign for' the residence of Gtls4
TA,US ADOLPHUS and his family ?"
" .His Majesty does not deem it superfluous to add
some observations, which the States should bear in
mind in their deliberation oh this. subjed. The
States -cannot .but be aware that their .decision Must
bear stamps of dignified generosity, which becomes
a noble-minded nation ; that misfortune elaims,re-
spea, and That humanity itself commands forgive.
ness ,oblivion of the past.
.4( His Royal Majesty. is anxionsly desirous that the
States of the 'Realm, by diyiding- the subje& under

discussion ou these prineiples, should ,meet •
wi,hes, and thus give a pledge
,to Europe of the pu-
rity of the motives which induced Sweden to revive
her system of the 'Government, and renew the strue-
ture)of the State.
