CHRISTIANIA, NOVEMBER W.
Speech of his Royal Highness the Crown Prince,
at the close of the National Norwegian Aisembly,
on the 26th November, 1814:

66 Gentlemen,—You have witnessed the paternal
intentions of the King, in the sanction of that con-
stitutional law which guarantees the liberty of the
Norwegian people. It, in passing rapidly from an
absolute government, to ene founded on the faws,
the wishes which you have expressed have been some.'
times mixed with fears and disquietudes; they must
be ascribed to the recollection of times and of rela-
tions which no longer exist. You were animated with
the zeal of defending the rights of the people; the
King was desirous of recognizing them, and he was
induced so to do, as much by his particular sentiments
as by the free constitution of Sweden.
14 The people who have attentively observed your
deliberations, will acknowledge in their progress and
result the sacredness of the promises of the King and
his respect for the national liberty ; they will see that
the wisdom of 114 Majesty has preserved you from
the two rocks of anarchy and of despotism.
66 Satisfied with a successive increase in our corn.
merce and agriculture, we shall never desire the
glory of holding in the ntry of the world, any '
other place than that ofillit:ppy people.
64 But, whilst peace Is oar only object, we ought
not to forget that the most effectual means of attain•
ing it depends on our energy. The duty of defending
the country, which stimulates the warrior in his noble
career, entitles him to the just consideration of his
fellow-citizens ; it is the most gratifying recompense
the soldier 'can receive for the privations to which he
devotes himself.
" The King, accustomed to govern a free people, '
has recognised, with a lively satisfaction, the rights
which the constitution gives to that resptct.ible class
of agriculturists, whose industry supplies the cities,
and whose arms assist in defending the country.
a Gentlemen, the duties of the Extraordinary As-
sembly of Sterthing being concluded, I announce to
you, in the name of the King, and by virtue of the
power which gives to. his Majesty the constitutional
sompact, that the Seision is terminated : in returning
to your peaceful habitations, each of you, strong in
the testimony of his conscience, and happy in having.
insured the independence of your country and the
liberty of your FA:ow-citizens, wilt always remember
that union and order coestitute the force of a State,
and that i!s existence and prosperity require the sub-
mission of all individuals to the mere d commands of
1 the law.
a The first duty of a Prince is, to cause this Sove-
reign of Kings and of people to Ise. religiously re-
spected. The ancient inhabitants of the North have
never conferred the title of good on mildness destitute
of energy. Stiew yourselves the worthy desceadants
of those respectable ancestors ! Like theni, make the
good of your country the object of your lives ; like
them, teach your childien that the most sure guaran-
tee of their rights is the scrupulous discharge of their
duties. Resume the functions which y,:u have quit-
ted, to answer to the call of public confidence. The
' fear of Gots is the only one that free men twilit to
acknowledge. May it be the companion of your la.
' boors and the rule of your actions ! Goodness will
dwell in the midst of you, and the liberty bf Scandi.
oavia will be as imperishable as its Mountains.
U May GOD watch over the King, and protect his
two kingdoms, and retain you, Gentlemen, in his holy
and worthy keeping !"
SPEECH ADDRESSED HY THE PRESIDENT OF THE DIET,
TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE CROWN PRINCE IN THE
SIT USG OF THE CLOSE OF THE DIET.
le The important transactions, ever-memorable in
the annals of the Ninth, for which this Extraordinary
Diet was assembled, are terminated ; and in conse.
quence the Diet is closed, by order of the King.
61 It was with circumspection, and mit without
anxiety, that the Representatives of the Norwegian
people proceeded in their deliberations ; and that they
decreed the union Which has been so happily conclud-
ed between Norway and; Sweden. They knew not,
they could Die know, the intentions of the King;
e,h. bipinees before them was a revolution which
tded tbelate ads, present generation, all of ge.
thine in come. The IF** transmitted to, them

able man, .whore appeAance inspired confidence,
whose mode of acting gained the complete esteem
and approbation of the 17eputies. A mutual solicl4l
tude for the glory and prosperity of the two kin„r*donts
has produced the union; concord and reciprocal cares
will consolidate it ; such are our wishes—such akui
our hopes. .
44. Your Royal Highness, during your residence
amongst us, has given us unequivocal proofs of your
regard for the right: of the nation, of your solicitude
for its glory . and felicity: You have been able to
judge for yourself that rectitude, moderation, and
thinness, are the principal traits of the national cha.
racter. Important occupations now recal your Royal
Highness to the country of our brethren. May you
and your son, the hereditary Prince, who excites such
hish hopes, condescend to be the interpreter to our
King and common father, of the sentiments, the
wishes, and the hopes of the nation, and be pleased
to assist him in maintaining its rights. Convinced of
this truth, that whosoever forms his resolution with,
wisdom and prudence, afterwards persists in it with un-
alterable firmness, be pleased, Sir, to assure the King,
that'he has acquired a people whose attachment and
fidelity it will depend upon himself to render im-
movable. Be pleased, also, Sir, to inform the faith-
ful Swedish nation, that the northern and western
,frontiers of Sweden are inhabited by a nation of bro-
thers, who in future will only labour for the happiness,
the security, and the glory of the two countries.
64 Colleagues and Fellow-citizens !—We return to
our homes to devote ourselves to our peaceful em-
ployments. Guided by the love of our country, we
have decreed the union of Norway with Sweden. As
good patriots, we will co-operate, with unalterable
constancy, towards its confirmation. We will explain
to our fellow-citizens the equitable intentions of Go-
vernment. and will not omit to point out to them that
they have with the King a friend and intercessor, who
will watch over their liberty and iudependenec—a
hero who is their best safeguard..
66 Sir, when you shall return to Norway. which we
hope will be soon, and that our hopes will be confir-
med, the happy Norwegians, full of joy, will press in
crowds around your steps, and wilt present to you the
most sincere testimonies of their affection and atten-
tion."

DUTCH PAPERS.

CHRISTIANIA. NOV. 29:

. .
The greatest tranquillity and satisfaction reigns in
Norway. At a tire which brake out in Christiania
during the night, the Crown Prince was very active,
and his humane conduct gained him in a still higher
degree the affections of the citizens.

WARSAW. DECEMBER S.
The revenue of the Crown lands of the King of
Satony, in the Duchy of Wafsaw, are now levied for
the account of our Government, and the Saxon Cham-
ber of Domains in this city is abolisheA.
On the Ist Prince Constantine reviewed the
cavalry, .and on the '2d the cavalry. The organiza-
tion of a Polish army will shortly be commenced.
BRUSSEIS. DECEMBER 17.
The last accounts from Ghent confirm those of the
day before yesterday, The American Ministers h
had another very long conference with the English.
in the hotel of the later, at the conclusion cf which
a state messenger was sent to London with dispatches,
which are supposed to he of the highest importance.
The nest interview will be in the hotel of the Ame-
rican Ministers.

It is positively affirmed, that in the new instruc-
tions brought by the Fingal, the American Govern-
ment yelds very much in respect to several points,
and it is equally believed, the English Government
is ready to make some sacrifices to bring about peace.
The reports from the Trench frontiers still speak
of military preparations. A. distinguished General
was expected at Lisle to inspect the troops, arsenals„l
&c. Though these measures extend from Dunkirk'
to Strasburg!), they seem to be viewed with indif-
ference by the Allied-Powers ; only k is said that the
Riissizn army under General Kleist Von Nollendorf,
which in the Government of the Middle and Lower
Rhine, will concentrate itself more in its canton-
ments, in order to be able to observe what passes on
the French frontiers

Within these two days a courier is arrived from
London, and another from Vienna ; • the dispatches
of. the latter must have been of great importance.
By a Decree oc the Prince Sovereign, the removal
in the whole or to part into Foreign countries, of es-
tablishments of commerce,manotactories, &c. in Bel-
gium, as well as the exportation oaf all machinery be-
longing to them, and the decoying the. manufactu-
rers, workmen, &c. to go and settle in foreign Coins-
tries, is prohibited.
Another Decree allows the importation from to.
reign countries of all Indian white calicoes into Bel-
gium free of duty, in older to be painted or printed
in the calico printing manufactories of Belgium, to
be re-exported after being printed. They must pass
by; Osteud, Bruges, Antwerp, Ghent, or Ans, near
Liege.

VIENNA, DECEMBER 8.
It had bees reported for some days,. that the inter►
position of the Ennporors of Austria and Russia was
merely political. Nothing is more ridiculous than
this report ; the two Sovereigns have not ceased to'
see each other. These Princes have repeatedly declared
in the presence of a great many persons, that they
arc indissolubly united—but the deliberations upon
so many different interests require time. The Con-
gress, besides, will make use as mach as possible of
the means of convention ; the grounds of its resolu-
tions will be published (they are already under the
press.) One of the first publications will relate to the
Princes of the Rhenish Confederation, whose domi.
nions, as a certain party affirms, and a number of
which, according to. Baron de Stein's work, on the
Central Administration, is six, are to be considered

as conquests made by the Allies, and which they
may, therefore, dispose of at pleasure.

VIENNA, DECEMBER 7.
The Russian Government is said to have proposed
to make Thorn and Cracow Palish Hans Towns. Al
is tespect to Poland the happy sent has not yet
been accomplished which was for eight or an
days ago, and indeed as almost certain,
the most likely cause is said yo he the late accounts
from America.
IleLositowl, ma its kdvenaries think now that the
,orolosee of mace with 411MiCA is vanished, and the
7 7. •

continuation of the war with the.thited States h;g1111
probable, will no longer be able to act with the LA
energy for the maintenance of the ancient or,'
things and the balance of Europe—but• till till
ment at least aothing has occurred from which i
be inferred, that England will not conttnue to
port the great part which it has taken upon ittel
the Congress, and prosecute it with► its aecustoue,
firmness.
A marriage is spoken of betweensbe Crown -
of Wirsesuburg and a Northrrn Princess. •
