ORJULRO, Aug. 17.—The choice of the Piince of
PONTE Coavo as heir to the Crowo,• is no. longer
Matter of 'do' ; ,it is aheady publicly spoken of
and.o'n the 2 tst the formal decision- of the Diet
will be announced.

Great advantages arc .expetled to result to oar
- •
country from this choice, and the •financial ernbar.-
rassments of the Government will ' be surmounted
by a yo!untary loan from the Prince of eight millions
of Banco 'dollars, at a low ,interest; the present state
of our. Government will be guaranteed to us, and
further -benefits afforded as soon as. the Maritime
situation of Europe will .admit of them, and what
. - .
'is of still greater consequence, we perceive •in the
present nomination an earnest of the future restora-
tion of Finland.

ViiCß4o, AUG. 15.—Our Gazette of this dad'
contains the following.articie :
" The Prince of Polite Corvo, ci-drvant BEItNA-
DOTTE, was born in 1763. As a *hero, lie has
proved himself invincible ; as, a statesman,helias
promoted the welfare anti prosperity of France,
with Out any selfish vieWV as a conqueror, be be-
came the 'guardian angel of Hanover ; and, as a
• r
philanthropist, he has: deserved and obtained the
bleisings of SWedislo Ronierania ; as a pi ivate man,
he avoids all excess and pageantry, and with the
same sentiments he inspires his hopeful-son; who is
eleven years .old.

" Should it bef‘objeaed that he is not of high de-_
scent, I answer thatthe 4uccessive step swhich he has
been obliged to tread, in order to aitain,the height,
where he is noel* placed, have made him•acquainted
with the concerns and relations of all,interMediatt.•'
situations in lite, and his personal merit, whiCh rai.,ed
hirri from one exalted station' tclianother,cannot nut
be the more more eminent as it was'not supported by
any of those, birth-rights, to which prejudice cif
Custom frequently, vet • undeservedly, the

" As to his religiOnr being.nO Roman Catholic,
but a Protestant, tenets, therefore, differ but lit-
tle from our own, merely-in matters alt!)gether tri-
fling, and the trarAition from, his religion to.ours

ther for 'blame To le'arn the Swedish

man who was also' coming that way from off his
watch at Walthamstow, for his assistance, which the
fellows hearing, they immediately threw away
their bags into a dry ditch, and thAni ran off, when
the bags were. taken up, containing the honey that
