PROCLOIATIoN OF THE NEW KING OP SWEDEN.

S'l'Dk 041.11, Niajei'ty King
CHARLES Xlll. died on the`th of Fe.btuary,„ at
14 'Philtres past 10 in the et;enitir., ;+fter a painful
illness 'and Chtiifian edifying preparation.
' The followink Royal Prochotrition .was pub-
iished,-in consequence of which his MajecriKing
CHARLES JOHN WiS proclaimed Xing on the 6th
Instant, by the Herald (;1- the Xin-gdiiiii; • it) the
. • ,

. . . • •
We, Charles John, by the grace of nod, King of Sweden
and Norway, &c. to-all our faithful subjects' living and tlsVell-
ing in Sweden; greeting.
" As we, in consequence of the pruposal of our late beloved"
fatyer, our auki•st King and Sovereign -Charles to the
Estates of the kingdom of Sweden, wereunanimously chosen,
on the 21st Auk. 1810, his successor on the•Stietlisli throne,
and at the same time,, invited by the unanimous voice of the
King arlB- the people, accepted this hollow-able call, though
attended With great responsibility %?e felt a particular
pulse thereto,l4l the events.wholly foreignlr; us, which decided
goof. choice, and Which, without Our having any share in them,
so' elydirected your free and independent resolutions. We were'
thereby taken from ilia repose which had berm our sole aim ;
and immediately on our arrival itere',Your deceafsedKing receiv-
ed its with the dearest profOs Of'ehnfidenee and:friendship, by
adopting us as his Son: and iniPree'sing yinir Work a more'
holy zeal ; which could hicrt. increaseront Obligations and our
derotedness to our new country ddring the year; that haCee
elapsed since that Zveneseintidestitig to o,pr heart. We have
exerted ourself to fulfil towards that never to be forgotten and
ever beloved Prince, all the duties of a faithful snbject and
an affectionate son; and have daily received in his paternal,
never changing tenderness, the noblest recoMpence of our"
endeavours.. This happiness we are no longer to eniay.
Death has deprived us of him who in this world was -attached
to us with the most faithful love. From our filial bosom,
front' the arms of an inconsolable consort; from the circle of
Sorrowing relations, from a people of whom lie has been
twice the deliverer, he departed With the calmness of a sage,
with the peace of a good conscience, attended wjth the con-
solations of religion, and the tears of gratitude, to receive-his'
eternal reward in 'a better world. We have received his last
blessing upon you, which lie pronounced on the verge of life
with the same energy as in his most rigorous days; and in his
dying hand we took the sacred oath, to inherit, together with
his'Crown, his tender 'cares for the country, his ardent wishes
for. yoUr welfare.

" As we how, in consevence of this afllicting
.event,
ascend the united thrones of Sweden !tad Norway, to govern
both kingdoms according to the fundamental laws of each,
whieh were approved by the Estates of the Swedish Diet on
the tlth of August, and• by the Storthing of the. kingdo►n of
Norway on the 31st. of July, 1815, we have given the Royal
Declaration, fixed by the King and the States of the King-;
door, on the decision of the Piet of the id of May, 1810.
"Since we first trod on Swedish ground it has been our
higlieSt care to defend your liberty, your privileges. and the
independence of the kingdom. Providence crowned our en.
deasousl with success; In the present melancholy hour it
was therefore our first duty, as well as our first thought, to
implore its powerful support •in our future actions. From
your unanimity and patriotism we expect the most powerful
• assistance'. In faithful union with yoarKing, who is bound
to you by the laws. you . will continue to be free and inde-
pendent : in this manner yo❑ will most worthily liorione the
memory of the Ptiuce whom we lament, and may his blessed
spirit for ever protect a happy people, who can say upon his
grave; with pure heartfelt gratitude, ' Through him we pos-
sessed the laws which we oursel►es made, the free soil which
covers the bones of our fathers, and the heightened prospect
of our future lot, which his virtues and his self-denial have
prepared for us.' We remain well affected to you all and
each, with our Royal favour, and recommend you to God the
Almighty. " CHARLES JOHN. •

Mourning commenced.
His Majesty had caused the Estates of the King-
dom to 'be summoned on the 7th to appear in the
Hall of the Diet, in pleno plenorum, to take the
oaTh of allegiance.

They accordingly appeared with the .Land.
Marshal Count Sandels, and aCI the Speakers at
their bead. • At one o'clock, the King, aCcOrn-
panied by- the. Crown Prince, repaired there in
solemn, procession, and being seated on •the
Throne, and his Excellency the Marshal of the.
Kingdom, Count Esse, having desired to be heard,
the Antic Chancellor Baron Weterstedt read.the
Declaration, pronounced and signed by the King,
the Crown. Prince kneeled before the Throne, and.
. with his hand resting on the Bible, took the oath
of alleg;ance, which was read to hint by the Mi-
nister of State, Count .Eingertitroni, on which hisßoyal
Higliness kissed the King's hand. In the
.same manner the oath was -taken by the Estates
of the Kingdom (it being read by Count Enger-
strum) by the organ of the Laml-Marthal,-thr
Archbishop, the Sneakers of the Estates of •the
Peasants and Citizens, and of the tour Estates at
the saute time, upon which the 'Land Marshal,

EXECUTION Ol' THI, TIM RAWLINSONS,

TUB LIGHTERNIF.N.

A more affecting andlamentable scene has not
been observed on alike occasion, for a length of
time, than that which took place this morning, in
front of Newgate, bet tveen William Henry Raw-
ninon and his brother, Johnßowliwolk,,who suf-
fered the sentence of the law in presetwe of a
large concourse of spectators,- amongst whom
were observed an jn2mense ntinibCr of lightermen.
These two unfortunate :young men, for the. clinic
which they had committed, .and of which "they
were convicted in January " for
having stolen from the barge of Mr. Edt- aril Sage
a considerable quantity -of goods, consisting of
lace, boots,"' &c. &c. Were brouOit opqn the
scaffold a few 'seconds before eight o'clock.--
'Wiltiam Henry Rawlin,nn made his- appearance
first, and after the execntioner had with caution
affixed the rope, his hro her then cane forward,
weeping, bitterly on approaching close to Wil-
liam, *hose cap had pre, ionsly been drawn over
his face, 116 requested-that he might- salute his
yowler brother, which was Otte by again re-
' moving the cap, and both shook hands.- This
was truly melancholy.. They then remained abOut
three minutes in prayer, attended by the Ordinary
,of Newgate, when the drop gave way, and both
were • larinched into eternity : they died. without-
the least struggle.--Since the order for theirexe-
eution had been made known to them, it seems
that they had become extremely penitent, and
were perfectly resigned to their fate. A brother
or these two unfortunate young men, about hi
months ago, suffered also in front of Neivgate,
for nearly a' similar offence, which he had com-
mitted on the river Thames.

Mr. ASH E'S FIN.AL SUBSCRIPTION CONCERT On
IVeduesday crowned his 4rilliatit exertions for the
season, with a phalanx of eminent ,talent and jo-
dicious selection. Among the former 'must be
reckoned FODOR, A MBROGaTTI,, BOCIISA, and

uubouncled app6use- and admiration.. The vocal
part of the Concert counneneed with: tin Elegy to

BRT,T, A. LODER, and BEDFORD, with. refined

choly recollection of the deplorable event it re-
corded, and the idea of the situation the ammo-
plisiied composer. held, as Musical Preceptress to
her Itoy4l Highness—all combined to produce
those high-wrought sensations, which must be
felt to be conceived. In a Fantasia, which closed
