ST.ATA PAPER.

The undersigned, charged by his Royal Highness
the Princeßegent of England with a special mission
to the Nor.vegiaris, Id !loped, that on his a, rival
here, he would have found the Representatives of tire
Nat'on still sitting. That Assembly having, however,
been dissolved, and most of its Members returned to
their homes, he has been under the necessity of putting
this Declaration into the hands of the Government
w!,ich he found established at Christiana ; but he de-
clares, at the same time, that in doing so, he does not
in any degree acknowledge its competence or legiti,
wracy on the part of this Government.
It is well known, that by the Treaty Between
Great Britain and Sweden, it-was stipulated that the
former Power should assist the views of Sweden in
procuring the annexation of Norway, by concert anti
naval co-operation; whilst the King of Sweden ea.
gaged, that the union should take place with every
possible regard and consideration for the happiness
and liberty of the people of Norway.
• It is further notorious, that by the Treaty of Kiel;
;Denmark covenanted to cede the province of Nor•
way in full sovereignty to Sweden, on condition that
Sweden should restore the captured fortresses and
conquered province of Holstein, and cede on her
part Swedish Pomerania ro Denmark, and procure
the other advantages for Denmark which are therein
stipulated.
In consequence of this Treaty, the King of Den-
mark issiied orders for the delivery of the Norwegian
fortresses, and for the cession of the province to' Swe-
den : but Prince Christian, who had been appointed
by the King of Denmark Governor of Norway, as
soon as he understood it was in contemplation of the
King of Denmark to cede Norway to bweden, re-
solved to encourage in the Norwegians a spirit of uni-
versal resistance against the cession, and to place
himself at the head of that people ; and in conse-
quence thereof, he issued several Proclamations, sum-
moned a Diet of the Norwegians to assemble, and
deputed Mr. Anker to England, with instructions to
' procure, if possible, the accrision of the British Go-
vernment to the independence of Norway.
The Earl of Liverpool having admitted Mr. Anker
to a conference, his Lordship explained to him the
situation and determination of the British Govern-
meat: Mr. Anker was, in consequence there it, de-
sired to return to Norway.
After this detail, it only remains for the under-
&pied to say, that the object of his mission to Nor-
way is, to explain to Prince Christian and the Nor-
wegians the situation of the British Government, with
regard to its engagements with Sweden and the AI bed
Powers, and its firm determination to act up to those
engagements with sincerity and vigour; leaving i: to
the choice of the people of Norway, vine', r, lacing
informed of the disposition of Sweden to consult their
wishes 'and happiness, they will take advantage of the
present disposition. of Great Britain, to mediate in
their favour, for securing an adequate security to the
'Constit aional Privileges they may wish to enjoy i or
whether they will run the risk of a contest with those
Powers and their Allies, who have disi•arched wissioos
to Denmark to enforce the Treaty of
