GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS, &c.

" We hereby make known, that as it appertains
to our Kingly office to watch over the general
tranquillity of our kingdom, and to prevent fuel'
incroachments,,which may have dangerous con.
fequences for that tranquillity, and for the future
(lability of the. Government, we cannot forbear to
dire& a painful attention to the occurrences, which
were fo unexpeeed that the laws had not provided
againft them, the poffibility of • which, however,
experience has (hewn, a That Noblemen thould
renounce their nobility, and the rights connefled
with it." Such a conduet betrays a contempt for
an ancient inflitution, which was here, as well as
in other countries, intended as a dillinguiffied re-
ward for loyalty, valour, and bravery, with other
civil virtues, or for the ftrongeft encouragement to
walk in the footfteps of diftinguilhed anceflors.—
' Although it can neither now, nor for the future, be
feared, that the firft of the States of Sweden fhould
renounce generally their honourable rights, which
are founded in the noble duties, the fulfillment of
which binds them to the King, to the Country,
and to the Conftitution, yet the lawr neither can,
nor mull allow one or more Members of this Order
to arrogate a right, which could not he exercifed
by all, with'.ut dellroying the foundations on
which the Conflitution refts—For the preferva-
tion of the facrednefs of the fundamental laws
in their whole extent, for the maintenance of
an order, in conformity to them, and the true
:Ipirit of civil fiviety, which they ought to inftafe
into every Swede, we declare, that every Swedifb
Nobleman who !hall for the future renounce his
Nobility, whether hereditary, or conferred upon
himfeif, or a right which duly and legally belongs
to the Knighthood or Nobility, Mall not, from
this hour, be conGderesl by us or our fuecelfors as
a good Cubit& and attached to the form of Go-
vernment, nor (hall enjoy any of the privileges of
the inhabitants of the kingdom in that quality ;
but fuel' an one (hall be obliged immediately to
retire from the kingdom, and he (hall not be per.
milted to reticle or fojourn within the limits of
Sweden, or the Countries or Provinces fubje4 to
its Crown. Wherefore, &c.
" Given at the Place of Stocl.hul,ll, Jan. s 6, 18o2."

Hattovr a, Fr R. 19.—0 n the 12th the following
ordonnance appeared here As the infeaion
among horned cattle, which had broken out in the
Eleelorate of Saxony, in Anhalt-Deftau, and Bern-
burgh, and alto in the duchy of Magdeburgh, has
now altogether difappeared ; the prohibition iifued
in this refpc& on the sd of Dec. laft, may therefore
be removed, and the trade and dealing in cattle and
Iheep, raw hides, and other articles from the ftid
Provinces, be again rendered free, in the fame man-
ner as they esilled at the time of the Prohibition :
yet the Prohibition muff be underftood to be re-
newed, the moment any appearances of the laid
malady (ball be oblerved in the neighbourhood."

According to the defign of that Gentleman, and

feriptions; and it is hoped that by the beginning
of the year :Bog, this beautiful building will be
opened to the fubfaibers, and the ftrangers of all
