" CHRISTIAN FREDERICK:
" Christiania, Feb. 19, 1814."

PROCLAMATION TO THE PEOPLE OF NORWAY.
NORWEGIAN'S !-You have heard that his
Danish Majesty Frederick VI. notwithstanding
his 'ardent affection for the Norwegian people,
• Oiel' we gratefully acknowledge, ;has been forced
to renounce his right to the Throne of Norway.
You have learnt with' indignation that you are
ceded to a neighbour who thought, you weak
enough to let your inflexible
courage be
shaken by an inhuman 'system of starving
you, to submit to a foreign yoke, and to
bend beneath commands which disgrace your
ancient valour. The free people of Norway can
fix their own fate. Sear to ensure the
pendence of your country the Almighty to
witness your immoveable resolution ; and invoke
the blessing of Heaven on your beloVed country !
It is by God's appointment, faithful Norwegians,,
that I, the Heir .of Norway-s Thro4e, am now
among you! You tnay save yourselves by the bond
of concord which binds your hearts.=-I have heard
the voice of the people, which loudly demands in-
dependence, and powerful unconditional oppo-
sition to all' violence from without. That is
enough to induce me, , animated as I am with
the wiamest 2eal for the happiness and honour
of Norway, to remain among this faithful
people, as long as I can contribute by my pre-
sence to your independence, to the internal order
and peace of the country. Called by Providence
to guide thefhelm of the State at this decisive mo-
ment, I will, with a' steady hand, and de:Tising
every danger, protect Norway's security, and
maintain Its most sacred laws. An Assembly of
the most enlightened men of, the nation, choien
by yourselves, shall form the plan of a COnstioi-
tion, founded on unanimity and Wisdom,, and so
give this count-1y new strength against open -and
secret enemies. It will depend on their resolu-
tions, whether I shall, return the Dignity. to
which the wishes of the people now call me.
" BeloVed People of Norway,—l have .111-
ready received many proofs of your loVe .and

confidence. I shall feel myself secure aniong
you ; I shall ender your to obtain peace for you,
and by that means new sources of prosperity and
industry ; and .it shall be my chief aim to keep

he evils of war far from your sacred frontiers
rely when foreign violence attempts to Violate the
Leedom and the independence of the kingdom,
icu shall it be seem ethat you have in your

arms strength to revenge insult, and courage i
your hearts to prefer' death to subjection.

_ •
shall, indeed, still have to suffer want and dis

ress, if irreeoneilekible enemies will not allow

e kingdom 4t) enjoy repose-; but on ou'r front

tiers there is only one feeling, to sacrifice every
thing for the country, and for the assertion of the
ancient honour of Norway. Gold will crown our

endeavours, and Norway evil) furnish it new prow;

of the truth,-that a people that fears God, -and
loves its country, is invincible.

. They say that Prince. Ckiristiana, is at the head
of 32,000 men on the frontiers. Some unautlien•
ticated reports even speak of .hostilities haying
begun.--(Brennen . Gazette, 10th April.)

BREMEN, APRIL tO.—ORDER OF THE DAY.)
" Head-quarters at Pinneberg, April C.
" The enemy does not cease to 'bum and de-
stroy, in -a manner that must excite horror in
every feeling and generous mind. Such conduct,
of which even the barbarous' hordes Afria and
Noi-th America would not he guilty without blush-
ing, cannot be justified by any military reasons
whatever.

" See only the environs of Hainb,n.gh and
Liaarbiagh, uezr which the caerny but lately

to the King of Denmark, eit. &c. so testored to
its rights as a free Nation) has decidedly expressed
its resolution not to submit to the King of Sweden,
but to assert its independence, Being the next
Heir to the Throne of Norway, and destined, by
this rank, to stand at the head of a faithful
and valiant people, I voluntarily listen to the
sacred • call,, mid consider it as my. duty to do my
`utmost for the freedom and security of Norway,
As Regent of the Kingdom, which ,title I assume,
:with all the rights and with the powers which
the King Of Denmark has renouneed, and which
the Nation thinks fit to give to me, in order to
avert from the country disorders and misfortunes
in this critical moment.; afid it shall he my sin-
cerest endeavour to maintain peace with all those
Powers which do not violate the rights of the people
of Norway. Men chosen from among the most
enlightened of the nation, shall assemble, on the
10th April, at Euchsoold in Aggershuss, to'
adopt such a• form of GovernMent as shall he
best suited to insure' the liberty of the people
and the interest of the State—God 'will bless and
protect a just cause, and the exertions of a brave
people, against foreign oppression, which never
has been known in Norway, and never shall reign
in Norway.
