the •Kingdont. '

Prince Gustavus declined the permission to
declare himself of age, and indeed all negociation
with his father on the subject. The latter,.the‘e.
fore, in a letter dated Hanau, 26th Aug. 1817,
acquainted the present King of Sweden of this
affair. In the reply, which is wit hoot date, the
King, then Crown Prince of Sweden, acknow-
ledges the putt icy and consciousness of the Ex-
King's political principles, though the formality
of a renunciation of the Swedish Throne that
might be made- by Prince Gustavus would merely
recognise the right of the nation to choose a new
dynasty; but would not give this right to the
nation, which already possessed it, and had made
use of it in three elections since the abdication of
Gustavus IV. Should Prince Gustavus -one day
attempt to interfere wt•ith the rights and the tran-
quillity of the Swedish nation, Providence would
protect, as it had hitherto done, the Scandinavian
Peninsula, and the regard and-inviolable alliance
of the Emperor Alexander would disapprove of
every intrigue against Sweden. - •The. nation
would not renounce the right of choosing its dy-
nasty as an hereditary privilege. At the last elec-
-tion, the King of Denmark, among others, was
Candidate for the Swedish Throne, and was sup-
ported by Napoleon. But no. power had at that
time supported its pretensions by force. The
choice tell -Unanimously on the Crown Prince,
whom the King adopted as his son. He had not
.considered the invitation to the Throne as a hap-
piness, for, as Governor of a country conquered
by France, he had learned how greatly Princes
were to he pitied who desired to perform' in a
worthy mairner the duties of their station, and
were hindered by circ►tmstances. He wished that
his silece,,sors might cotnstant►y bear in miud the
principle of 11:1 times and ages, that Princes are
horn for the. .good of the rople„ and that the
latter are not the property of a few families."

PEastA.—The latest letters from Persia are still
.full of suspicions ot the plans of Russia, and the
influence of the French Officers, under Colune•l
'Mercier, on the Heir to the Throne. Intrigues
'are-conszantly carryingwon at his Court, and he
is surrounded by artful, ambitious, and enterprising
foreigners, who aspire to promotion, and do not
concern themselves whether the Empire fills into
a' State of confusion and embarrassment. The
European Continent has sujlplied the Prince, not
only with Officers, but with a considerable number
of physicians and surgeons. He is ►ell provided
with Offiteis of Artillery, Engineers, Cavalry, and
Infantry, from -almost all parts of. Earope except
England, and this without great expellee.
As Persia has the most to fear from Russia,
British Otlicers ..are deterred from entering the
t'ersian service by the present political connection
of their country with Russia.
FROM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS: AUG. 7.—We
learn Irons' the head-quarters _ of the Prussian
troops, that the review will take place at the end
of this month in the neighlianilio6d of Ligny. It
is hoped that the King of Prussia will'be present
at the review, The inhabitants are the more
willing'to make the necessary preparations, as
they are persuaded that this review will be the last,
and that the Prussians will-march away in Octo•
_her, At Metz, they,aiready name the French
Generals who are to command at Thionville,
MOnttnedy, Lang►ry, and 'Sedan ; and it is
added, that as the troops of• the line will not be
sufficient for the service, potrie battalions of the
National Guard will be added to them. The:for-,
tresses are to he restored with their artillery,
stores, &c.-in the same state as they were deliver-
ed to the Allied troops.

HORRID ASSASSINATION IN AMERICA:

(From ike .4lbanv lbwister of July 12.)

With:heartfelt and unfeigned sorrow we announce the un-
timely and distressing death of the gallant Major Benj. Bird-
sall, of the United States' Army. He was shot on parade this
everting, a few minutes beCore eight, and his immortal spirit
left its tabernacle of clay in one hour and fifty-five minutes
afterwards. He was shot by a soldier of the name of Ha-
milton, who had been enlisted about three months. The
murder was deliberate, and the monster exults at its perpe- ,
titinn—he is in prison.
Major-Birdsall was in conversation with Lient. Scott, itt
.front of his marquee. Hamilton presented himself before
them, and said, " Major, 1 arts here."—On being orderyd
hack to the ranks, he made ready and discharged his rifle—
the ball entered on the right side, passed near -the heart, and
lodged in the flesh near the back-hone.

This high-minded soldier met danger in its most terrific
forms—was mutilated in the most cruel manner, by Laving
his face literally shatto.red to pieces—has undergone surgical .
operations of the most agonizing nature—snfiered pains in-
describable—his wounds hut just healed—hiA prospect of re-
turning happiness had barely began to dawn, and he has
fallen the victim of unprovoked assassination..
We learn that Hamilton committed suicide on Monday
morning.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF .ARsoN.—A woman
has been lately convicted at Antwerp, .who set
fire to her house out of revenge against her hus-
band, who used to go and drink his pint of beer
at a neighbouring alehouse: she had often threa•
tened to deprive him of the means of regaling
himself, and has now carried her threat into exe-
cution. The husband, hearing that his house
was on tire, hastetied hOme, and, found his wift
lookingiquietly'on. A neighbour asking hint if
he knew.the come of his thisfortnne ? The latter
33id, ". I'll tell you some day." His wife exclaim-
ed, " Say, ascal, that I did it ; you know_ I have
long warned you. I told the parson that I would
put a knife to your throat—now 1 have 5 and.yrits:
will no more go and drink your pint." what adds
to the atrocity of this'crime (unless it be-an act
of insanity) is, that before setting fire to the:
house, she desired her children to go to bed,
saying, " Go to bed directly, for I am going to.
bum the house." In bet, one of 17, the other
of nine years of age, went to bed, and she put,
the third in the cradle. That of nine years yf
age perished in the flames ; that of 17 escaped
with difficulty through the flame and smoke. In.
a momentary fit of sensibility the cruel mother
rushed into the burning house to save the youngest
child, and came out bolding it in her arms. It.
was immediately taken from her., She is now
calm as usual, and shows. no sigh of remorse.'
