An once/owns activity prevails mom Mintoritidt
gives occasion for many agreeable reports respecting
the nuances.

FROM THE RHINE. ;EIRITARY es.

Many of the Dlptities to the Conven;:on •trine

It is affirmed, that the agreement among the Alßel
Powers, respecting the future residence of the pri-
sons banished from France, concerns only those two
classes, included in the Royal Ordonnance of the
24th of July ; but not those who, though out mea
tioned in the Ordonnance, are excluded Irian tar
amnesty. It is not known whether Any new arrange-
ments will be made respecting the latter.
According to accounts from Strasburg, the public
trial of General Gruyer, who is in the militia y prism
there, has not yet commenced. This GebetAl was, iO
March 1815, Ccrnmander in Chief ..f the Depart-
ment of the Upper SAone—he is a mei imrious soldier,
covered with wound's.

The unhappy infatuation which at that time pre.
%railed in the French army, carried him away with it.
Even before the 20th of March, when Generals
Brayer, Mouton, Davernet, &c. at Lyons, and also
Ney, had given the example of treason, and toe je•
.surtection had braen out in the Departments of
Burgundy, Gruyer published in his division, the
proclamations of Napoleon and Ney, instead of the
commands of the King. This fact is now adduced
:!gainst him, and caused his arrest at the end of 1815.
The preliminary examinations had begun some time,
when Gruyer invoked in his fast, 4r, the amnesty
passed by the Chambers, at the dtsile of the Ring.
l'he trial is suspended till the answer of the Govern.
trent is known. Similar appeals, k is said, have
;een made by Generals and Officers, who have been
a I sted in other mum departments,
upon which
the answer of the Minister of Was is waited for. In
,iii these cases the chief qttestion is, whether the Jo.
ii, ial proceedings against the accused began before
r the publication of the law of amnesty or not; and
-
' this question must be eecided, in the list resoit, by
Cie Minister of Justice.— (Algot:eine Ziiiung, 4trtbs

NUREMLIF.RG, MARCH 6.
By the last decision of the Swedish Ole, the stve•
dith army amounts to between fifty and sixty thou:

from a population of 1,640,000—in time of
1y 38,819 ; Norway, with 870,000 or .880,(i.
johabitants, bas 12,000 irgular troops; and Sw,•ch.
am, with two and a half millions of inhabitants.
Thus in every 73d man is a soldier, in Der .
marks every sistrainthp and in time of war every fort v
forth man, but in Sweden every forty-second matt.
van Norway was
.united with Sweden, the army
coosiged of 1995 men in-the‘ artillery, 1380 cavalry,
04'20,456 infantry ; but the Diet, justly considering
forth to be great for the population and resources
situ country, appointed a Committee to draw up a
rain, which the Diet has adopted. By this the army
Is-aivittediato the field army, which is 12,000 strong,

Cartrials'
The service in the held army (or regulars) is flied
sew years, but for the cavalry and horse-artillery,'
eight years. The young men are liable to be drawn
"Igo they have completed their 22d year. When
they have been five years in the regulars they go into
the landwehr, and as they grow older into the land-
atom, of which the coast guards form a division.—
It is free from all military exercises in time of peace,
and cannot be called out except in castes of urgent
necessity in time of war.
By thelast accounts of the deliberations of the Diet,
which come to the beginning of February, the chief
object was still the new regulation of the finances,
and a second plan drawn up by the Lagthing ( Le-
islative Body) was unanimously rejected by the
iet. The Diet was to be closed en the 16th o)f Fe
hoary, and it was hoped that the generally-beloved
Gown Prince would be in Christiania, according to
lit promise, to close the Diet himself. In all the
toirnsof Norway, but particularly in the Capital, the
%thof January, the birth•.lay ,f the Cr. .wn Prince,
was celebrated with universal joy, and every where
the most unequivocal proofs were given of love and
aucbmeat to his person.

COVSNT-GARDSN THEATRII.—Mr. SHERIDAN'S ex-
Idlest comedy, The School for Scandal, was repre.,
seated on Saturday night. The attention of the
theatrical world—of all those who have seen and ad-
mired Miss O'NelLL's great powers as a tragic ac-
iftll--was excited, in an extraordinary degree, on
his Occasion; when she, who had so often o beguiled
hot our tears," by an unrivalled display of tender-
, pathos, and sensibility, now stood forward to
Prove the versatility of her talents, and to claim the
mae pre-eminence in Comedy, which she had previ-
ously established in Tragedy. We were alarmed lest
11, thing like a failure should take place. The
nem, however, has set our fears and apprehensions,
at ftst. Miss O'NEILL's Lady Teazle is "an admirable
piece of acting. Her personation of this difficult
character has shewn, that she can eneer us as much
by her good humour as she can depress us by her
grief.. Her performance was, throughout, received
Ir_llltb rapture, by a most crowded audience. CHAELES

Peals of applause, shouts, and the waving of hats,

*hid seemed to affect her deeply, and when the
"lied, was anaounced for repetitiOas it was in the
Midst of acclamations.
