DUTCH PAPERS.

• WIDEN, APiteti liA. ~ .-
Our last acckutts from t4isenhaiee state that the
account of Prince Christian-hiving been declared;
Prince Regent of Norway, was incorrect. Mr. C.
Anker, and some other persons of rank intended to
accompany him totrekswold, slier his return from
Dronthe:m, and there have hint proclaimed Sovereign,'
of Norway; but it appearing that the Notables Ai
' Drontheim had avoided making a premature decla-
ration on this head, Professor Svertrup made to the
Prince a speech of two hours long, to persusde him
that the renunciation of the King of Denmark enti-
tled the Norwegians to exercise the rights of men
and citizens ; and, notwithstanding the desire which
the Prince shewed of being invested with the sove-
reign power, the Demosthenes of the North conver-
ted him into a zealous partizan of democracy. The
Prince embraced him, called him his best friar,, and
induced him to explain his principles the next day to
Messrs. Anker and the other Members of an Assem-
bly summoned to put in execution the project of those
Gentlemen. The orator brought them all over !is
his opinions ; they resolved on convokipg a National.
Assembly at Erekswold on the 10th of A pril, and
that the Prince should be tiU then simply Regent of
the Kingdom, at the head of a Council of seventeen
Members. Mr. Bsileff, of Christiana, was appointed
Minister of the Home Department, and the old Ge-
neral Harthausen Minister of the Finances. Count
Wedel Jarlesberg, and Mr. Hoist, by birth a Nor-
wegian (now General in the Swedish service) were
banished.
There was a general enthusiasm in all ranks which I
made the militia flock to the frontiers ; but no hosti.
lities bad yet taken place, though Field Marshal
Count Essen was receiving large reinforcerriekts of
Swedish troops that came in waggons. Norway had
received provisions not only by English speculators
bus also by Swedes, under a permission, •by which
the Swedish (government thought to lessen the exas-
peration which its plan of starvation l•ad excited.
BRUSSEL", APRIL 22. '
On the 4th of April Bonaparte published the fol-
lowing Order of the Day at Foutainbleau to the
Army :
44 The Emperor thanks the Army for the attach-
ment it has shewn to him, and above all, because it
acknowledges that France resides in him, and not in
the people in the capital. The soldier who follows
the fortune of his General has honour and conscience
(religion). The Duke of Ragusa has not inspired
his brothers in arms with these feelings : he is gone
over to the Allies. The Emperor cannot approve
the conditions on which he has taken this s;ep : he
cannot accept his life and liberti. as a boon from a
subject,
i( The Senate has allowed itself to dispose of the
(government of France : it has forgotten that it is in.
debted for the kmwer which it now abuses to the Em-
peror alone k ;hat he saved a part of its members out
of the storms of the Revotation, raised another part
frwn nothing to greatness, and protected them against
the hatred of the nation. '
