On the 3crh tif Jane came the following Envoys

tiania : :namely, General Baron de.Steigentesch, for
. . ilt,,:ri: ; Major-Geirral Orioif, for Russia; Augus-
tns J. Forstvr, for England ; 4nd Major Baron de
Ma, ten., for Prussia. Some days afterwards, they
' tia..l an audience of his Majesty, and on the 7th inst.
presented the following—. i
NOTE 4.
46 The Undersigned, charged by:their respective Courts with
a•special Mission to his Highness Prince Christian Fre-
derick of Denmark, have the honour to address to him
the present Official Note!.
1‘ The cession of Norway; produced by the Treaty
ief Kiel, was gnat anteed b the four Powers, allies of
Sweden. That decree o policy was irrevocajelly
f.,
fixed. The Ailied Sovereigns consider the unineieeee
Norway to Sweden as one of the bases of the new
system of equilibrium—as a branch of indemnities
which it is impossible to replace by any other.
4, The events which latterly occurred in Norway,
the opposition which the decision of Europe found
there, and the resolution which his Highness has
taken to. ' himself at the head of that opposition,
determ. the Allies of Swed"n to rake the neces-
sary 4 '. for effecting the upion of Norway. It is
eii
with *is object that the undersigned 4aye repaired
I his Highness.
.{S They are charged to express to him the painful
impression which hi. proceedings have produced on
their Sovcri igns, to summon him formally to return
within the ii:;e of his most sacred duties; and to de,
clare.to him, that should he refuse to yield to the
genera: wish of Eutope, which recalls rim to Den-
mark, an i:vecittai war wiil alise in the North, and
arms will sit:fallibly produce what persuasion iii.s in
wain ai tctriptel.
66 For this purpose. the ermy of General Count
Beniogeen, as well as a corps of Prussian troops,
have been placed at the disposal of Sweden, and the
general blockade of N-rw.iy has been resolved upon
in common concert with Grs.at Britain.
6S At the same time, the King of Denmark, com-
premised in the eyes of Monarchs, the guarantees of
his word, and of the Treaty of Kiel, was justly irri-
tated against his late subjects for 41.1 non-execution
of his will. His M !jest} resolved in consequence,
through the. in termedium of the undersigned, to trans-
mit his final orders to the Prince, the heir of his
Crown, who, in qu lit} of first subject, is bound to
set the example of obedience to his Majesty's subjects
in None ay, Denies by birth, who, by refusing to re—
turn, will become guilty of rebellion; and to the
islorwegiacis, in fine, from whom, as a last proof of
his affection, he should endeavour to avert the hor-
rors of a destructive war.
4S The adoption of this resolution by his Danish
Majesty, and the orders which the undersigned have
received from their respective Courts, characterize
the nature of their special mission. The undersigned
deem themselves compelled to declare, that they are
by no means mediators between Norway and Swe-
den, but rather commissionersheralds at arms, (if
the expression maybe used), chrgeel with carrying
;into execution, in its full extent, the Treaty of Kiel,
and the stipulations guaranteed .by their Sovereigns.
However, the known character of his Highness, the
rectitude of his intentions, the, general esteem of En.
rope fur the Norwegian nation, anarthe wish. to effect,
•the union of the two kingdom without the effusion
of blood, have induced the undersigned to enter into
modifications, which., they , acknowledge,' sq. not
within tie litetal meaning of their inctruetions: they
°have yielded to the wish to furnish his Highness with
the most lonottrable means of descending from the
eminent place to which ciicUmetaeces bave unfortu-
, • lately raised him; and they bayeevi,theplea.spee lent
themselvei to every arrangement which cott)d pre.
vent the character of his Highness froni suffering,.
and to stipulate immunities for the Norwegian people.
They have thought, that in so deing, they have in nee
.respect departed from the liberel intentions of his
Swedish g jesty ; but they could not regard. the fol-
lowing arias gtments to which they have acceded as
articles stipulated and agreed upon, until they.had
received the assent, of that monat ch.
6S His Highness Prince Christian Frederick has
positively decl in d, that he could only replace in the
bends of the Diet the rights which be had received
from the nation. The convocation of the Diet was
in .consequence deemed necessary ; and the time for
effecting this convocation and securing its delibera-
tions, becemes the object of negotiation. A truce
*as propesed by his }! ghness : the undersigned
were anxious to. second his wishes; but the various
conditions which they proposed were all successively
rejected. Aol..ngth, upon mature deliberation, they
haye the honour to setbmit to his Highness the ex-
p:e.stor.o. :lyceums from which they cannot depart.
66 The 13 :see of the Armistice ere— •
' 64 1. A solemn engagement from his Highness to
the Kin? of Se eden and his august Allies, to resign
into the bends of the nation assembled by its repre-
sentatives, all the rights which he has-received froth
it, and to employ all his influence with tlni. people,
Idint'uce then, to consent to the union.
" 2. The country between the Glommen end the

. -

Swedish flontier shall be evacuated by the Norwe-
gian troops, as well as the isles of Walchoren, and
the tortresses of Frederickstadt, with its citadel, Fre-
derickshall, Fredrickstein, and Kcingsvingee. The
country snail be declared neutral, and the fortresses
shall be occupied by Swedish troops.
" 3. After the occupation of the fortresses, the.
blockade of Norway shall be raised, in respect to the
ports of Christiania, Christiansaid, and Bergen, with
the necessary modifications, and during the period
of the truce.
" After giving in thii ultimatum, with regard to
which the undersigned demand a categorical answer,
they also address themselves to his Highness, in order
to learn his resolution. in regard to the letter of his
Danish Majesty.
They have, at the same time, the honour to de-
dare to his Highness, that whatever may be his an-
swer to this official Note, they will consider their ne-
gociations as terminated, and will demaiid their pass-
ports, whether for the purpose of continuing to bring
About the union or the two Kingdoms in a pacific'
rmniner, or to follow up an inefEectuA negotiation by

their profound respect,

THE ANSWER OF HIS MAJESI7.

" To the note from you, Gentlemen, the Envoys
of the C-urts allied to Sweden, charged•with a spe-
cial mission to Norway, I hasten to reply contOrmably
with my duties to the people ..f Norway, and to the
regard due to the uyettures you are conuo;:sioired
to make.

46 The happiness of Norway is the sole object of
my actions. The Norwegian nation, delivered from
the oath of fidelity to the King of Denmark, and ihn
acknowledging his power to cede them in full sove-
reignty and property to the King of Sweden, as well
as justly irritated by learning it was a principal con-
' dition that Swedish troops sr•auld take possession of
b:Ttresses never occupied by Dani::r troops during
the union, wished to avail themselve, of those righti,
which in similar cases belong, according to public
opinion, to every nation.

" Aware of this general sentiment, which an in-
veterate hatred between bordering nations renS
mare marked than ever, I perceived that internal dis-
turbances and anarchy would result from a lOrced
union—and I put myself at the head of the. nation hi
order to prevera these calamities. . .
" The regard due to the Sovere;gnty which retides
in the nation itself,- made me assemble a Diet, and it
formed a Constitution calculated to consolidate the
happiness of the people. Their affection and confi-
dence offered me the Crown, which I then thought it
my duty to accept; and desirous of contributing to
the happiness of the people, I was persuaded that the
independence of Norway, under a Government which
the Nation itself had form;:d, and an oqt:flee with
Sweden guaranteed by the great Powers, which
should secure the repose of the North with that of the
Norwegian people, who wish only to live free among
their rocks, would be the most desirable state of things
for Norway.

a'l founded my hopes on the application, in our
favour, of the same princip:es in stilton. of which
such generous efforts had been lavished in Germany
and in Spain. The greatPowe: a of Europe have other-
wise decided ; the declarations which you have made,
persuade me that the safety of Norway demands that
we should yield to the law of the strongest ; and I
perceive that these same powers, not wishing to bring
the calamities of war on Norway, are desirous of at-
tending to every thing that may secure as much as
possible the happiness of Norway united to Sweden.
I even see it in my power to stipulate for the welfare
of Norway, by the sacrifice of a situation personally
flattering to me. Ido not hesitate to make such
sacrifice, in a manner worthy of a man of honour,
worthy of the crown which I wear, and of the people
who have conferred it on me.

" you have recognised that it is only into the hand's
of the Diet that I can resign my rights; and it is
also only that assembly of the representatives of the
nation which can decide, %atelier the nation should '
prefer an unequal struggle for its independence to the'
honourable conditions whieh shall be offered to Nor-
way as a kingdom united 4 :Sweden.
" I acknowledge it till my duty to make known'
to the nation the dangers't which it is exposed, an.
to represent to it the advantages which must be se.,
cured to it on its accedipg to a constitutional union
with Sweden ; hut you .know me sufficiently to be
convinced, that, faithful to my ensagements, I will
never separate my fate frdni its, in the event of a
brave though useless resistance against the united
forces of Europe, being preferred to an hoisour*le
reconciliation, for which I shall employ all my cre-
dit. It is to this 'effect that I have written the letter
to the King of Sweden, a copy of which is herewith
subjoined, and by which I accede to your first basis
for the truce which you also have deemed necessary,
and which I demand of the King of Sweden, on ho-1
nottrable and admissible conditions.
44 To the second basis of the truce, I reply, that if
the point at issue be the rupture of negotiations which
can alone lead to an amicable union, I will accede tce
the evacuation of the country, between the GlOmmen
and the Swedish frontier, as well as the isles of Nita-
*rite, and the fortresses of Frederickstecn and Fre-
deriestadt, by • the Norwegian troops, on condition
that the territory, as *ell as the fortresses, be neutral
during the enpLiice. . Kongsvinger being on the
north ;sank of ffie ClUmnaen, and .a league on this
sid2 the neu:ralised ground, I think it will not be pro-.
per to insist on its 'lratuatiou. fl.regard to the oc-
cupation of the f rtreists by givCai,kl) troopi,ldeeni.

den wish an amicable union atd not war, he will not
insist on this, and will accede to the proposal which I
have made to hint of leaving the two fortresses of
Fredeticsteen and Fredericstad in the custody of the
citizens of these cities. The evacuation of these two
fortresses by the Norwegian troops, which leaves them
without the necessary defence, will give every mili-
tary advantage to the Swedes ; and when I consider
the generous sentiments which should guide his Swe.
dish Majesty, I trust that that Monarch will at the
same time be satisfied to fix the neutral ground on the
cast bank of the Glommen to a circle of three leagues
around theca fortresses.

44 With respect to the thirdbasis, I must also observe
to you, that the proposed raising of the blockade of
Norway, which I consider as a condition ins-pal-Able
from the truce, and as an unequivocal mark of the
humanity and benevolence of the Allied Powers to-
wards the people of Norway, must also he extended
to all points of the,coast, if it is wi-hed that it be re-
garded as a real benefit. Any other condition would
give rise to embarrassments and perpetual quarrels,
which might too easily lead to a rupture of the armis-
tice, and of the negotiations const:quent thereon. I
have also demanded this of the King of Sweden, and
I hope that he will acknowledge the truth of all these
observations on the subject of the raising of the block-.
ade, if it be wished to avoid every thing that might
yet bring on a disastrous war in the North.
44 I will furnish Major-General Petersen and my
Aide-de-camp, Capt. liolsteen, with my full powers•
to conclude the truce at Fredericshald, or at Swine.
mund : and I sincerely wish that this negOciatiOn
may be happily terminated, and be only preliminary
to reconciliation and amicable union.
" I demand the guarantee of the Allied Powers
for the truce, arid for the propositions regarding the
bases of union, to which his Swedish Majesty shall
please to accede.
" On the subject of the king of Denmark's letter,'
as to which I abstain from all reflection, I shall beg
of you to take charge of my reply. It will contain in
.ew words the declarations which my present posi-
tion and my honour have required my making to
you, and of which you have acknowledged the
weight. It will shew his Majesty that it is impossible
for me to follow his orders until the Diet or the fate
of arms shall have decided the future condition of
Norway : and fur die rest I must leave it to his wis•
dom and his conscience* whether he judge it proper
to carry into effect his threats against me and the
Danish Officers, which, however, would change
greatly my personal situation, and the line of con-
duct which I have resolved to put sue.
46 This note being the last which I shall have to
hand over to you, Gcnzlemen, Envoys from the Al-
lied Courts, I seize this opportunity of begging you
to be persuaded of the very particular consideration
with which I subscribe mys'Al.

LETTER. TO THE KING OF SWEDEN.

" SIR AND BROTHER-There is nothing on earth
so valuable to me as the satisfaction of a good con-
science, This I have- never forfeited ; and I still
desire, that my conduct may be directed as hon3ur
and as duty prescribe.
66 It is with these sentiments I have been induced
to place myself at the head of a people who, released
from their allegiance to their King, sigh only for in-
dependence, and have tendered to me all their affec-
tions and confidence. I feive sworn to defend the
Constitution, and shall readily lay down my life in
support of their rights and independence; I have not
forgotten, however, that I am likewise responsible for
their happiness.
" Now that all Europe has declared against Nor-
way, against that cause which I defend with no other
means than those afforded by my-country, such con-
siderations present a necessity against which it would
be impossible to contend.
66 That I have never been misled by personal mo-
tives, I shall evince by restoring the crown into the
hands of the nation who conferred it on me. I choose
rather to save -Norway than to reign over her .—but
before I consent to separate myself from a people to
hom I am at present united by the most sacred
ties, I am anxious to secure their happiness by a gua-
rantee of the Constitution, and other stipulations, to
serve as bases to the union with Sweden. I shall,
assemble the Diet, and make the conditions known•
to the nation. I shall point out to them all the
petits to which they will be exposed by a brave hut
fruitless perseverance in the contest. If the nation
accept the conditions, I shall instantly abdicate the
Throne; it they reject them, my fate shall not be
separated from their's. Before, howevei, I convoke
the Diet, I desire that two important points may be
previously arranged ;
66 First, That the bases of the union be accepted
by Sweden, under,the guarantee of the four Powers
whose Envoys are present.
a Secondly, That the deliberations be free and
mature, and to this end that a suspension of hostili-
ties be agreed on.
I am sensible that the advantages to result•from
a suspension of arms demand sacrifices on my side.
These sacrifices are expressed in the pr..* of armis-
tice which I annex. The Envoys of the Allied
Powers have contended that the Swedish troops
should occupy the fortresses; but I have not been
able to coacede this point, both because the Cooen-
tution restrains me, and because I well knew, from
the character of my nation, that they would n-t set,
fer, without opposition, the entrance of Say fist
troops within their frontiers. lam couipeileci, t!•ele-
fore, to prefer the misfortunes of alowign to the hor-
rors of a civil war. I confidently rely,' however, on
your wisdom, Sir, in assenting to the means of avoid-
ing a war which would render the projected union
inadmissible, and entail upon the Swedish nation as
many calamities as on the people whom you desire
"to govern, and.whom you cann.,t conciliate so effec-
tgiilly.as by measure; of mildness, .by respect for
public opinion, and a teLoutien of the blockade;
measures which will be considered as derived from
your generosity, and your regard for the welfare of
sbispepple.
'• 66 My 'situation is painful, but my affection for the
Norivexians remains the 'One. •;31A1'
If lon AcceWlite. *Gm of the lt"rinlstice and the
bases of tlie union, I pledge my word to employ ail
the influence I possess in perau..dins the people of

Norway to solrnit to the no;on as the only means of
security in their power.

deserved it, in cheerfully subscribing myself,

NO 1 E TO THE ENVOYS CF THE ALLIED POWERS.
NOTE B.

" Although you, Gentlemen, envoys& the Allied
Powers, charged with a special nilsssion in gorway,
have declared that you ate not mediators between
Norway and Sweden, it is doubtless inseparable front
your character to be the guarantees of such stijiula.
lions as shall be agreed to b .tween the two kingdoms.
ft is with this vier that 1 invite you to give me Pie
assurance that you will guarantee the bakes of union
which the King of Sweden may accept, as well as the
armistice, in tbe points that may be definitively
arranged for the period of its doraiton. •

44 If the Commissioners of the Allied Powers ac.
quiesce, I am equally desirous that they should assist
in settling differences of a serious nature, which may
arise during the armistice ; and I shall submit to their
decision whether the period ought to be so far pro.
longed as to enable the Diet to close its deliberations
without interruption.
44 I require of you to guarantee, so long as the ar.
mistice shall continue, the raising of the blockade by
the maritime forces of England and Russia, in order
that commerce and free navigation, both with regard
to importation 'and exportation, be restored to &.e
ports of Norway, and likewise, tliarpermission to ship
grain and other provisions for Norway, be imrnedi.
ately given in Denmark, and in the ports of the Baltic,
as well as in England, Holland, and the White Sea.
If the exportation of corn from Archangel for the
' province of Drontheim, for Nordland, and Finmark
must be limited, I require 25,000 eetvers.
" I would again call your attention to the situation
of the King of Denmark, as it affects this country.
You will admit that the King of Denmark has dome
the utmost in his power to carry the treaty of Kiel
into effect. The evils which he assists in imposilg
upon his ancient subjects, who have given to him on.
exampled proofs of their fidelity, exceed those limits
which humanity prescribes to Sovereigns. It is fit
that he revoke those rigorous measures. The cir-
cumstances in which I am pl wed direct my conducti
vie of Denmark can have no influence on the
fate in Norway. It is consequently ruel to maim
him answerable; and I invite you to employ your
good offices with your respective Sovereign, to relieve
him tr• m phis obligation, and that his subjects, after
so tiler, sufferings, 'way have no more numerous And
foreign armies to maintain.
gg I require your answer to this rote, Gentlemen,
before you quit N accompanied, be u,sured,
by the good wishes of all those who have had the
opportunity of knowing you, and who have learned
to esr.....em you as highly as does, Your's, &c.

ANSWER OF THE ENVOYS TO HIS HIGHNESS
PRI..:CE CHRISTIAN FREDERICK.
• 44 The undersigned have received the communica,
tions which his Highness Prince Christian Frederick
of Denmark has transmitted to them. '

g 4 In presenting their note of the 7th ult. thry had
flattered themselves that in entering into the views of
his Highness for the convocation of the Diet, and the
negotiation of an armistice, they would probably
succeed in removing every considerable difficulty,
..ed nbtain a confidence which might admit their pro.
positions without restriction. N,t one of the three
points, however, submitted by the undersigned, ha;
been fully accepted as part of the bases of an armi.
stice. Each has suffered modifications which, if they
do not annul the general effect, at least render doubt-
ful the concurrence of his Swedish Majesty.

" Without entering into any details which could
only give rise to fresh discussions, they feel themselves
obliged to declare, that the c:mcebsi!,ns demanded as
bases of the union are not compensated by any advaa?
tages Afforded by the picipi,sed armistice.

" The undersigned are therefore.compelleil to rest
their holies of the success of their negotiation upon the
generosity of the King of Sweden ; An I painful as it is
to see all their efforts for the /CC' iroplishroe% of / pa-
cific union frustrated, they ate still nappy to submit
entirely to the conscience of his Swedish MAjesty the
acceptance of his Hi4liness's propcsitions, lit order
thereby to furnish him with an occasiOn of comm-tn-
ing by a signal benefit the exercise of h,s intice:lee
over Norway.
" With respect. to the guarantee of the bases of
union, the armistice, and Of all the points which sltall
be definitively arranged add accepteJ by Sweden, tl:c
unJes.zigned are convinced, that none (,t the Powers
of whom they are the representatives, noreven Swederi
hersiell, will object to this act of justice. Indeed, the
raking the blockade, if his Swedish Majcsty shall
consent to it, necessarily involves'the revocation of
all those belligerent measures w hich setae taken etgailVA:
airway. The observations added by his Highness
with respect to the painful situation of Denmark, in.
duce the undersigned to remark, that the resolution
of the Prince to place himself at the head of an illegi.
timate opposition, is the sole cause of the misfortunes
of his true country, and that he might at once have
spared t Denmark the suspicions of the Allied PJ wers,
and to the undersigned the chagrin of stating this in an
orticial note.

.4 At the close of this communication, the under.
signed have the honour to ask of his Highness, A 1,-t
proof of his (rankness, in the publication of t•.e,r otri.
vial notes as speedily as possible. They demand [hi::
oa the principle that Norway should be info' wed of
all the dangers to which she is exposed, and of the
real object of their mission.
66 The departure of the undersigned being irrevo.
cably fixed for Sunday, the 17th of July, timy have
the honour to present to his llighness, their h nuge,
and the reiterated assurances of their profound respect.
