The unfortunate hostilities which prevail between
the Swedish Government and the iiiettle of Norway
having gives a peculiar interest, to the Ogees which

Oddrufalla. the Swedish. seeepi.art.on the Norwegian
frontier (aseehich, as we are mlol:flied by the last
ligffeihi, the King Of Sweatt( is taking the recreation
lief sea-bathing), is 's considerable town, with a har-
bour communicating with several bays, formed by
,the different islands lying before it. The whole dis-
trict is in the highest degree pictureaeue and Amen-
tie. The hills ard islands are partly. asked rocks.
and partly overgrown with trees; and the sea winds
in such a singular manner between the rocks, and
round the islands, that it has the appearance of see&
rat small likes. From chit part to Norway, the
country is' more agreeable than most districts of
Sweden. The roads, however, are hilly, and pass
over and amongst romantic rocks, of singular shapes.
'They lead through Stromstadt to Frederickshall, the
!first town beyond the Norwegian frontier; and which
has also just become remarkable in history, from
being the first which has offered allegiance to the
Swedish Government. The whole of the territory.
alluded to has such an air of grendeur as is scarcely
equalled by any other parts of Europe.
Fredgrichrhall is situated on the Sivinsuad, it the
point where the river Tiatedal falls into it. To sr.
A.leit at the toed from the Biiedith side yotrdemintd
1a lofty mountain, fromwhich the place and isallaneist I
country afford a delightful view. FredeiickahaU is I
but a straggling place, maim bottom of the amona-
tain; on whose summit stands the Celebrated fretless
of Fredericksham. The town, however, is open, neat.
'end Elean, and contains a number of wood houses.
The fortress ittat mentiosed, obi Leaders know, was

AU the Pompons trophies and inscription's which fot-
merly stood there, are now demolished; and nothing,
is to be seen tint a enxiden cross,- painted white, on
which we read—" The BMge, 1718."
Moss, the road to which it stated in the last Swe-.
dish Bulletin to have been laid open to the invaders,
is a place so insignificant as to be scarcely at all
known, farther than being a town between Fred*,
ricksh;ll and Christiania, the capital of Norway....
It is, nevertheless, a piece of opulence, as it contains
a number of sawing-mills raid iron-founderies. It is
'situated on a bay, called Clivistianiaford ; and the
mills are turned by powerful streams, perpetually
rushing from the.mountaies. It can offer no resist-
ance to the armies, who will pus through it to the'
capital.
C4rististsia, the capital of Norway, Is the great
depot for the best deal timber, owing, it is said, this,
superiority teethe accuracy of its estanns-mills, which
divide the ptank with uncommon uniformity. There
is something whimsical in the mode of keeping and
settling acciaonts with the country people pho come
to market with the wood :—They deliver over their
boards to the Overseers, who mark on their backs,
with chalk, in letters and fighrek, the place to which
the boards were brought, arid the nuitiber of them.
It is a singular'enough sight to see those boon hurry
(away with all possible expedition to the ceuntiog-
houses of the Merril-ants in the Quarrel., with this
gois
lima species 9f obligation on their shoulders. By
stopping on their '.ersty, cc eulogies ilb-1111i Other
'business, they might rub out the marks on their coats,
sad thus extinguish for ever all evidence.of the debt.
When they appeal. before the treastner.at the count-
inghouse, they have no nectuion to say a single
word ; they present their shoulders, and rue itnitre.,
diately paid-, the brush, which the treasurer applies
to his shotiklers, is the boor's acquittance.
It May nor be generally kown, that the tenth' of
all sawed timber as Noway belonged to the King
of DINMAILIC, and formed a considerable put of his
revenue.

The Court of Madrid has applied to our Govern-
ment that several Spaniards resident in this territory'
should be delivered up. and among others some com-
mercial gentlemen, who have bees established here
for more than ten yaaa. The Portuguese Adminis-
tration, convinced of the honour and fidelity of these
persons, has not complied with the demand. but has
required that they should quit the country within the
germ of twenty days.
MADRID? AUGUST IL
All the officers belonging to the department of the
Secretary of State, and which were appointed during
the absence .cf the King, five only excepted. have been
dismissed, and the others procured as substitutes have
no merit to justify their nomination. The city isful.
of spies, and much jealousy has been excited by th.
notice taken of Charles IV. and of the pretensions hi
has made to the throne. The discontent is great, ants
it exists even with those who have heretofore co-opt-
rated fur the ruin of the public liberty. The clergy
alone continue obstinate and insolent in the bighes
degree.---It is believed that the principal designed the
reestablishment of the Inquisition was by such has,
