I any sorry to be under tl►e necessity of inform-
ing you that Scittm. has been killed at Stralsund,
by a party of French, Dutch, and Danes, amount.
ing to 14,000 men. Vis army was completely an.
'nihilated : the streets of Stralsund were covered with
dead bodies."

1161%tp:, JUNG A.—Admiral Sir .Tawas S:►UMAREZ
left this two days ago for carlscrona. To-day the
convoy fur the Balk passed for the Belt.—lt is re-
ported with some degrce of confidence, that the
army of Scum/. is totally destroyed, and himself
killed, that a large -foree,- consisting of French,
Dutch, end Panith troops, had entered the town of
Strllsund and covered the streets with blood. From
the quarter this :nfutmation luta reached me, I fear it
is too true.

We have seen the Copenhagen Papers, in which
Buos;krAnra's Bulletin is inserted, wherein he ac-
kno‘t ledges his defeat, and the loss of fO,OOO of his
best troops ; but that it was only occasioned by the
awlorardness of the German auxiliary troops; and
he declares, that, in fourteen days, he will return
with a Lorca to. avenge tins degr:tdation be Las met
with. He has, however, abmidoned Vienna, and
retreated aloug the banks of the Danube, as far as
Lintz, •whicl: place be completely destroyed by fire
before he left it, lest it might atTurd any protedion
to his pursuers.

" We, ChiARLAS ,111. by the Grace of God,
King of Sweden, &d. to all our faithful subjeas,
Ike. &c. Greeting,

,1 When under Divine Providence we assumed,
some time ago, the Provisional Government of out
beloved native country,:committed to us by the
States of the Realm, we immediately called the at.
tentinn of the Diet to the indispensable and import-
ant task of framing a new Constitution, calculated
to promote the prosperity, tranquility, and welfare
of the country, by irrevocable union between the
mutual rights and duties tif the King and the people
nf Sweden. The States having acquainted us that
they have not only performed the important task
committed to them by us and the confidence
of their fellow subje&s, but also that they have
chosen us King of Sweden and of the Goths and
Wends, requesting our approbation of that choice,
the cordial and loyal manner in which that ele6tion
was made, did.not allow us to decline its acceptance.
Relying on the Omnipotent, who explores the in-
most recesses of the human heart, and knows the
sincerity and purity of our sentiments, moved by the
most fervent love and zeal for our native land, which
can only cease with our existence; and trusting we
shall be most powerfully supported by the loyal at-
tachment of the noble. Swedish Nation, we have
therefore accepted of the Crown and Sceptre of Swe-
den. it is far more grgtfying to our feelings
to have been called upon by the free and uncon-
(routed voice of the people to hecomeiheir King,
their prote(tor, and defender, than if we had ascended
the ancient Swedish thsooe merely by right of here-
ditary succession. We :hall govern the Kingdom and
People of Sweden as an indulgent parent, does his
children, with implicit cen6deneeirtsbe honest...with
forbearance towards those who err undeliberately—
with uprightness toward* all ; and yiben-the day ar-
rives, the near approach of which is 'announced by
our advanced flge, which shall put an end to our
Worldly carps, we will hail our last moments with
the pious resignation of the just, and Cleo it by
blessing yon all.
