ACT OF ELECTION.

STocetttOr.m, SEPT. I.—We, the-undersigned,
States-General of the kingdom of Sweden, Counts,
Barons, Bishops, Rerresematives of. the Nobility,
Clergy, Burghers, and Peasants, assembled in the
Extraordinary Diet at Orebro, make known,
~ihat
his Royal. Highncss, Prince.- Charles Augustus of
Schleswig Holstein Augnstenburg, elected Prince ;
_Royal_of Sweden, of the Gottis and Vandals, being
deceased without heirs male, and judging that it is
our duty to prevent and to .avert the danger to the
independence and tninquility of the kingdom, as
well is to the rights and privileges of its nabitants,
which might result from a va,:aney of the throne,
and a consequent elealion ; exercising, at the same
time, the power ‘thich is reserved to us by the
94th Article of the Constitution of the 6th of
.June,
1809, of eleCting in such case a tie • dynasty ;—fot
these reasons, and considering that the High and
Mighty Prince and Lord Jean Baptiste Jule Berna-
dotte, Prince of Ponte Corvo, is endowed with
virtues and qualities which give us the well-founded,
hope of enjoying under the reign of that Prince a
goad administration and prosperity, the fruits of. a
legal, energetic, and beneficent Government : We,
the States-general of Sweden, upon the proposition,
of our august King now reigning, under condition
that the said. Prince and Lord the Prince of Note
Coma,. have before his aitivl on the Swedish ter-
- story eMoraced the Evangelical Lutheran religion,
and signed the conditions drawn up by us, have
voluntarily eleCted, by tree and unanimous suffrage,
for ourselves 'and our slorcendants, the High and
, Mighty Prince Jean
,Baptisie Jule Bernadotie, Prince
.1 Poute Corvo, to the dignity of Prince Royal of
Sweden, to reign in Sweden and its depetukucies
after the decease of our present august Sovereign,
(whose days 'nay the Almighty prolong !) to be
crowned King of Sweden, and receive the oar h of
fidelity ; i i shore, to govern the kingdom according
to tie literal sense of the Constitution of the 6th'
of June, 1809, and of the other laws in force, as
well tundaruernal as .generpl and special, the whole
cootormable to the answers which his ld ))al High-
ness shall ,;ice now, and atterwaids at his accession
to the throne. We also confer on the legitimate
male descendants of his Royal Higbee ss_the right of
filling the throne of Sweden, in the order and man-
ner which are literally prescribed in the law of sue-,
cession which we have established.

" We, the StatL-s-crenenti of Sweden, have,
conseque;tee,
,confirtnZl !he present Act of Elec-
non by -the signature' of our thanes, and aflixttig
our seals.

" Done at Orebro, this 21st of August,
in the year of tt,e Clitibtian Era 18 to."

arslcit, SEIT. 4.—Since last spring, the coasts
of Denmark and the:Straits are hided with English
vessels. The frigates which made their appearance
liar e been followed by nunaertms vessels of war
destined to escort the •metchantmen. The Danish
gun-boats, of which the GoVernment has stationed
a great milliner in the Belt, and on the coast of
Norway, often capture these latter vessels. When
it is a calm,- their attacks ate never, fruitless; they ,
then engage the ships of-war with Much success,
and become front day to day more expert at this
kind of wartare. The English are aliaid of them,
and avoid them with care. It is observed, that the
English vessels never sail but with a' ery • layout able
wind. If the wind is not quite favourable, those
who direct their movements prefer casting anchor
witere they are less *eXpos,:d to attack : they always
keep united. ,
VIENNA, SEPT. is settled that the Em-
peror is to set out for Hungary, and, perhaps he will
spend suuiC %,rks there. Time reiterated applica-
tions wilIC:1 have been made fOr the holding of an
extraordinary Diet, and the solicitations which his
Majesty hat. received on this subject, have, it is
sale,' determined our august Sovereign to proceed to
Pest, to deliberate with an assembly of Magnates
of the fiat class, of some Prelates and Deputies of
the principal cities, upon the means of procuring
the • co-operatie,n of Hungary iu the cucution of
the new plan of hitance. It .is pr,v,table that this
assembly will dectt:e, Nether it be necessary to con-
vote an extraorditiary Diet, or sufficient to adopt
merely provisional measures relative to the new pat-
. positions, to be alien% arils submitted to the sanc-
tion of t he• States. It is believed that this last course
will tie adopted, and that the opening of the ordi-
nary Diet W ill take place as early as' We beginning
of next January.
SErr. 6,—The following has been pub-
lisbed here :

His Majesty, b&ng desirous that all the orders
which have for then oujeci the maintenance of the
Continental system should continue to be executed
with the• greatest t igour, has resolved, in order to
41Ceekrate the processes of confiscation commenced
against all tliose who possess or import Colonial
inercuanuize, to appoint a fribunal of Commerce,
which shall pronounce exclusive. and definitively
or: matters connected with this kind of confiscation.
This Tribunal shall bit at Berlin, and shall take in-
formations at theditlerent places by means of Com-
Intssioners appointed for that purpose.
" His Majesty, by this measure, wishes to con,.
ciliate tue inteicsts of
.the State, with that justice
which individuals have a right to expect."
Aug. ,6,

NArLEs, SEPT. 5.—A decree, dated the Royal
Camp at Piale, August :27, bears that 'from that
date the 'oluntaiy enrolments are suppressed, and
that all the corps of the army shall be completed by
the mode ut conscription. The Roy-al Gendar-
merie, the Municipal Guard of Naples, and the
Royal Corsican Regiment, are excepted from . this
arrangement.

COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 2.—The price 'of colonial
produce, as might have been expected, has risen in
consequence of the late order of his Alajeity with
regard to their importa(inii. Tobacco hA also risen
to an excessive price, from the cessation of our
cornmetce.

BERLIN, SEPT. 2,--Lady Bathurst, after long in-
quiries with regardtto -the fate of her husband; who,
it is known, disappeared near Perleberg, appears to
be convinced that Mr. Bathurst put a period to his

own li(a. Even on getting out from Vienna, hel3-
poured under a violent attack of the 'peen ; and let-.
ters from him of a later d.ite, which have been.
found, shew, -that this. mental deratigement was
every day increasing. Lady Bathinst returns..to,
Engli.nd by France. •

VIENNA, SEPT. 5.-4ACCOrdilig. to letters Tereivf.d
from some Greek commercial houses, the 'Grand\
Seignior has set out from Constantinople at the
head of a laige,arny, the advanCed guard of. which .
has already formed a junction with the army 'of the
Grand Vizier. A great battle is expeiied, which
probably will decide the issue, of this campaign.
PANSCOWA, AUG. 17.—The Russians have.rnade
themselves masters' of the city of Iludschock, but
they haVe suffered muchfrom the garrison, which
has retired into the citadel, and probably will not -
surrender till the Grand Vizier has-,fought a battle.
He' is still strongly entrenched with* his arm_ y before
Salim's,. and every 'day receis es fresh reirillorce-
ments.

NArmis, AUG. 28.—The new ship of the; line,
called Capri of 74 guns, which was launched,onthe
214 I: lad. at Castella Mare, is to ready for sea
at the
,end of "next month. By order of his Majes-
ty the King, the dock-yards of that place are to be
enlarged, and two new ship of, the line are imme-
diately to •be laid on the stocks: On tlie.2Bth Qf,
last month an Imperial Decree was published in
Paris, by which all ships which sail with a French
license are prohibited to`take any passengers on
board whO are going to England or coming from
that country, without being furniShed with a pass-
port, personally signed by his Imperial Majesty.
FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, SEPT.• t.--According to
accounts received from Shuinla, very severe con-
Aids took place near that fortress, on the i tilt and
12th of last month; the particulars of *which are
shortly expected.--(Correspondent, Sept. 180
BERLIN, SEPT. 13." His Majesty arrived here list
night on his return from Silesia.—(Sane Papers)
VIENNA, SErT. I.—Letters from Constantinople
state, that the Grand Seignior has aaually ldft that
capital, at the head of a numerous army, the'van of
which ba4 already formed a communication with the
Grand irtiiar's army. A decisive battle is now
speedily expelled. •
CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 8.--Mr. CANNING, Mi•••
nister-Plenepotentiary of his Britannic Majesty, had
on the 20th of last month his first public audience
of the Kaimaken Paeha.•

VIENNA, Aua. 3 1 .—The celebrated Count PHILIP
DE COBENTZEL died yesterday in this city.

SEPT.-3.—We are assured that the Russian Le-
gation has received a fresh bulletin respeaing the
success of the Russians at Schumla, but it appears
that this success has been dearly purchased.
It is said that the Russians left 3000 men upon
the field of Wok, `and that they lost many officers.
It iSannounCed,at.the same time, that the Russians,
in order_ to repair the losses -which these blOody
battles have cost them, expea, the beginning of
this month, a reinforcement of 36,000 men, which
will enable General KAMINSKY to advance.

BAYONNE, SEPT. 4.--According to letters receiv-
ed from Portugal, it appears that the English are al-
ready making preparations for embarking, and do
not spew any .disposition to maintain themselkes in
tha: Kingdom. The Spanish Province of Lion is
tranquil. The corps of troops united near Astorga
has, 'it is said, pat itself in march kr Galicia. At
present General BONNET is in Astoria. The Eng-
lish ships of war have left the,northern co:lst of
and many French privateers are cruizing on
it. The latter frequently sail beyond Cape Fini-
sterre, and take very rich prizes.
A letter received this morning from Rotterdam,
says, " BUONAPAIITE has declared his intention to
wipe away- two thirds of the national debt of Hol-
land ; one third will 'then only remain on interest."

THE THEATRE.—OO7eIIt-Garden, Theatre was
opened again last night, with The English Fleet,
and The Irishman iu London. In the latter piece,
a Mr. BA:MERTON made his first appearance in the
part of lifurioch Delany. He possesses a good
figure, a strong brogue, and son e humour. lie
was received with tivoar, except ,when he sung,
as his vocal powers are very indifferent. The Thea-
tre was full, and good,order and attention prevailed
during the peilortnances.. •
Yesterday died at his house, Mill-bank, West-
minster, RICHARD HUGHES, Esq. who had been
many years Treasurer of Covent-garden Theatre.
He was a true specimen of the genuine British cha-
racter, open, manly, sincere, •and generous. The
description of Kertt, in King Lear, was exactly ap-
plicable to him— he•.was, indeed," aroughhonesty;"
bat though_ his manners were blunt, his heart was,
susceptible'Ofevery kind impulse, and no man was
ever More, disposed to render services within his
sphere of a&ion. The Proprietors have lost in Mr..
HUGHES a zealous, able, and Jaithful servant, and
a very numerous train of trimds, -a man- who was
held by them in high esteem and regard lot good
muse and 80141 worth.
