The Journal called the Opposit. Paper, contains
the following article
" The Government of the Most Serene Grand
Duke has, on the 20th November,
" Ist, Signified to the Editor if the Opposition
Paper its most serious disappro!ratinn of the insetting
of the article contained in Nos. 245, 246, and 247,,
Upon the presert relations of France to Foreign
- Countries, and particularly to Germany ;' because it
riot only contains expressions and injurious opinions,
of the kind against which the Ordinance issued under
the date of the 3d of May, this year, in the Govern-
ment Paper, gives serious warning, but also attributed
to the actions of the High Allied Powers, motives
which are as improperly expressed as they are in
tl:t•mselves unfounded ; and because just complaints
have, in e'ect, been made against this unbecoming
article.
" 2dl), Threatened, in case of a repetition of well-
fniirided complaints of the same nature, that the
Paper shall be suppressed.

Opposition Paper, the official reprimand hereby pro-
nounced.—Weimar, Nov. 25."
STOCKHOLM, NOVEMBER 28.

Yesterday, as had been hnnonnced, the solemn
opening of the Diet of the Kingdom took place.—
The Court, the Supreme Tribunal, the Council of
State, acc. after attending Divine Service in St. Ni-
cholas Churi.h, proceeded to the Hall of the Diet, in
theyalace, where the ginister of StAe, Count Eng-
strom, read a Royal Letter, announcing that his
Majesty, on account of indisposition, was not able to
attend the opening of the Liet, but that he commis-
sioned the Duke of Suderrnania (Prince Oscar) to
read his speech, by which his Majesty intended to
give a new proof of his love to that Prince, and his
ce.lorieeoce in his people. The Hereditary Prince
Oscar hereupon read the Speech, which contained a
concise view of all that his Majesty has done for the
•iod of the country, and what he still intends to do;
and what related to the support of agriculture and
commerce, of the manufactories of cloth, &c. His
Majesty has aimed at improving the condition of the
troops by sea and land ; he has endeavoured to open
the way to promotion, to those who shed their blood
for their country, and to remove all the obstacles
which must oppose the soldier, whose fortune did not
Omit of his obtaining the rank of Colonel or Lieute-
nant Colonel. The pay of the Generals has been in-
creased, and provision made for their widows, as well
es the widows of other Otheers. The Lazarettos and
Hospitals, the Academies of Music and the Fine
Arts, have received sums of money for their support,
and the capital has been adorned with several new
buildings. His Majesty hal constantly endeavoured
to !Allow the general opinion and the spirit of the
times—not to suppress them. His Majesty, in pro.
poking to the consideration of the Diet a new and
very detailed plan of finance, is far from thinking it
so perfect as he could wish, but be thinks the means
he proposes are for the present best adapted to cir-1
cumstances ; and that it will be proper to make a
tend of them till the next Diet. His Majesty will be
happy if- this project can be useful to the Diet, and if
. their own' determinations should be found superior,
he will thank Paoviosees for having given their
meditation on this important subject, a more advan-
tageous direction. Let the slave," .says: his Ma-
jesty, ‘, who sinks beneath the weight of- temporary
embarrassment, seck in hope alone the jiiissibility of
relief; the: free citizen himself, .thelopuder of the
laws• which he obeys, himself the'difender of the
rights to which he appeals, meets the most difficult
conjunctures with composure, sure of conquering
them, as his fathers have done before him ; sure of
leaving this fruits of his cautions and of his fulfilled
duties as an inheritance to his posterity." Hereupon
the Chancellor Baron Wetterstcdt read the royal pro-
posals, of which the Land Marshal. and each of the
speakers, received copies from the hands of the
Crown Prince; they then replied to his Majesty's
Speech, and kissed the band of the Crown Prince.—
After this was over, the Court withdrew, add the
Deputies of the States repaired each to their particu.
lar places of meeting. In the evening there was a
splendid entertainment at the Palace, io•WhiciP al/
the States participated.

The King's Speech contains the following data :
g, The amount of the paper currency, which in
1802 was only 14,000,000 of Bank dollars, is now
about• 5U,000,000.

44 His Majesty has made many sacrifices to main-
tain the public credit, and by these, as well as by the
advantageous Treaties of Commerce concluded with
foreign Powers, has endeavoured to give new life to
trade. But bow can either natives or foreigners, says
his Majesty, have any confidence in a curreucy which
rises or falls SO per cent. in one month? In 1813
the value of corn imported was three millions of
Hansborgh Bank dollars f 8750,000). which proves
that much is still necessary to be done to encourage
agrisaltute. Yet while distress has visited other more
favoured hinds, .no inhabitant of Sweden has been
the pray of 'famine I nu sea has beheld the natives of
Scandinavia hasneo to distant countries, to find the
swags pf subsioence, which their 'country denied.
ee foreige Subsidiesi and payment of' foreign
debt, his Majesty has procured for the Kingdom,
within ass pears, a sum of near twenty-five Miiiiol2s
ot Bank dollars."

The levying.of the usual tales to the Crown, and
particularly taking the effects of the debtors in exe-
Ceiloay has been wholly stopped by his Majesty'u
conuniedi account of the great scarcity of usoni.y.

In the afflicting details which we yesterday laid
betoie our Readers, respecting the desolating hurri.
cane of the 21st of October, we were obliged to omit
the particulars of damage done at Barbadoes, owing
to the want of one paper in the file of American
Papers from which we made our extracts. That
omission we now supply.
Letters received at Nlrfolk, (North America) from
Btrhadoes, dated the 22d of October, and carried to
the former place by the British cutter George and Ro-
ert, state, that in the hurricane of the preceding day,
fourteen sail of vessels were driven on shore, the
greater part of which would be lost ; and that some
damage had been sustained in the interior. One let-
ter, dated Bridgetown, October 21, contains the fol.,
lowing paragraph :
" During the greater part of last night and this day, we have
experienced very tempestuous weather from various points of
the compass, and whilst it prevailed from the Southward, we
have to regret that several vessels were driven on shore. The
following are those that we have heard of t—Barque Crown
Prince; bril•s Adelphl and Greyhound; schooners Hawed.
lacy Nelson,and Fly ; sloops Mantas Spencer, Earl Sandwich,
and Economy; and sonic others whose names we have sot yet
been able to learn. We are informed that no lives were lost ea
thew vessels going ashore ; but one or two Negroes, who he.
seeded themselves to pr .cure WOW shingles that were laming
user the pier bead, w re drowned, owing to the tremendous
surge that they bad to encounter. A guard from the 63d Real.
matt has been sent :or the protection of the property that may
be saved from those wrecks, and the drums are now summoning
a pert of the Royal Regiment for the same purpose."
A letter irom Piiii4d-lphia. dated November 23,
mentions the arrival of the schooner Josephine, Cap-
tain Kira, in fiiteen days from Laguira, and twelve
from Porto Rico. The Captain stated, that on the
22d October there was a heavy gale, which drove
twelve Spanish ships on shore at Laguira, in which
one hundred•lives were lost.
The American Papers also furnish a confirmation
of our former accounts of a war between the United
States and the Seminole Indians being deemed inevi-
table. The grounds of this war, it will be recollected,
were correctly stated by us a few days ago. General
GAIN= made a demand upon the Seminoles for the
murderers of seven whites. They refused, and. in
reply, stated, that the Anseticans had killed ten of
their tribe, and demanded this balance to be given up
to them, as the only condition on which they would
make peace. The General immediately put his
troops in motion, and was shortly expected to be
joined by General JACRSoN.
Among other topics noticed in the American Pa-
pers and private letters, Ihe following are most de.
serving of attention.
The New Yid Goodie of the 22d ult. mentions a
report circulated with such circumstances as lo induce
a belief that the Government of the United States is
'44 determined to take immediate possession of Amelia
Island."

The Wallas:ft Casette presents the following pa-
ragraph :

,g Istroamsm.—liis circulated among the know-
ing ones of Washington, that the Spanish Minister
has been authorized by his master, Fza.tutioun VII.

to make an offer of Florida to the United States, upon
terms that our Government will find it advantageous
to accept. It is also conjectured the purchase will
speedily be effected."

The Minister of Portugal, the Chevalier CORYEA
DE SaKRA, has taken up his winter residence at
Washington.

In the Comasirsia/ Aftwtirff of the 21st ult. we
meet with the following paragraph In the last
Congress was passed • An Act to preserve snore
effectually the neutral relations of the United States e
we never recollect one instance of this Act having
been put in force, although opportunities enough
have not been wanting, till lately in the case of the
brig Bee, of Bristol, ft. I. which, it appears, was
seized by the revenue caner Vigilant, for augment.'
ing the number of her ciew and guns after leaving
port. Shall we ,guess from this instance, that Spain
and her rebellious colonies will be left to fight their
own battles, like a couple of pugilists within a circle
of spectators, till one or other ot them give up ? If
to obtain liberty, as it is calltuf, for the Patriots, was
the only prize to he contended fur, this might happen,
but the charms of plunder and booty are irresistible,"
—a pretty cotrect experi of the motives which induce
some of our own countrymen, as well as the Ameri-
cans, to take an active part in the controversy.
The only interesting intelligence from South Am.
rice is contained in the following letter kom New
York, dated November 23:
" A,71 red last evening the ship America. bream?. 97 days
from Pernambuco. The captain states, that the Patriotic nose
was pinks string* daily, sad that the *bolo of the emit ot

the America sailed. The markets were well supplied with all
kinds of provisions. Flour was selling at Pernambuco at IS dot.
lass and 75 cents. per barrel."

We beg our Readers to correct one error in the
STAR of yesterday—For 44 Kingston, (Jamaica) Oc-
tober 242," read Kingston, St. rincenes.

By accounts from Port Louis, (Isle of France)'of
the 26th August, we learn, that part of the town of
Putt Louis, which was consumed by fire in October,
151 6, had not been rebuilt, although there was no
want of materials fur that purpose. Lumber and
bricks had been imported in great quantities from
England, as also frames cf houses and window
frames, together with all sorts of kitchen furniture.
There are now fire companies established at Pot t
Louis, furnished with engines and fire-hooks, the good
effects of which have already been experienced.—
There was an alarming fire on the 2d of July list,
about two o'clock in the morning, which destroyed a
very valuable dwelling-house and magazine, with
several out-houses, and damaged the adjoining
building. There were 500 casks of claret, and 200
bales of cotton in the magazine, besides other merchan-
dise, all of which was consumed. The wind had
been very strong during the fore part of the night.
and blew hard when the alarm was first given, which
added much to the fears of the inhabitants, as the
fire was to windward; bat fortunately the wind fell
almost to a calm before the fire was at its height.—
The persons having charge of the fire engines and
hooks, were very active on this occasion.
Sixty-five English and French ships arrived at Port
Louis during the month of June last. from Europe.
Several American vessels arrived there in July and
August.

A Hamburgh Mad arrived at a late hour last
night, and from the Papers brought by it, we have
given some extracts in a a preceding column.
The abstract of the Speech of the KING of SWEDEN,
on the opening of the Diet of that Kingdom, will,
we think, be read with more than ordinary interest.
It breathes a spirit of Constitutional liberality and
deference which we do not often meet with in such
productions. His MAJESTY has constantly endea.
voured, be states, to follow the general opinion
and the spirit of the times—not to suppress them.
—To proposing to the consideration of the Diet a
new plan of finance, he professes himself far from
thinking it so perfect as he could wish, but trusts the
project will be of some use to the Din, as a basis for
their deliberations t and it their own determinations
should be found superior, his MAJESTY avows that
be will feel grateful to Puovinstrcs for having given
their meditation on this important subject a more ad-
vantageous direction. Many sacrifices, he states, have
been made by the Crown to maintain the public cre-
dit, and by these, as well as by advantageous trea.
ties of commerce, concluded with foreign Powers,
every thing has been done to give a new life to trade.
By means also of foreign subsidies and payment of fo-
rain dk, his MAJESTY has procured for the kingdom
within 'is years a sum of near twenty-five millions of
Bank dollars. The relief which his MAJESTY has
thus been enabled to give his subjects is very striking,
and may afford to other Governments, not very dif-
ferently situated, an instructive lesson.—" The levy-
ing of the usual taxes to the Crown, and particularly
tang the ewe o/she dekors in execution, has been wholly
stopped by his MAJESTY'S command, on account of
the great scarcity of money." What has been the
result ?..-A result which the King of SWEDEN may
may well be permitted to boast of—a While distress
has visited other more favoured lands no inhabitant
of Sweden bas bees the prey of famine—no sea has
beheld the natives of Scanainavia h asten to distant
countries, to find the means of subsistence, which
their own country denied."

We regret to have to add to the number of recent
losses at sea, that of his Majesty's ship Timm, which
was wrecked on the Island of Tristan da Cunha on
the Ist of October. Onfy the Captain, two Midship.
men, and about twenty-one of the crew, were saved,
and these have come home in his Majesty's ship
Mu.vu.tx, which arrived yesterday at Portsmouth.
Extract of a letter from the Agent to LLovu's, at
Poole, dated 15th December, half-past three. P.
el Within this hoot we have been visited by a most
tremendous storm of wind, rain, hail, thunder, and
lightning—the latter awful in the extreme. It is
now breaking a little away to the westward."

Sunday Mr. Htta., the King's Messenger, arrived
in town with dispatches from Cambray.
Yesterday morning Mr. Dykes, the King's Mes-
senger, returned to town from having taken the dis-
patches to the Princess of MILO announcing the
drath of the Princess CUARLOTtg.
The sciences have lately sustained a great In:s by
the death of the Alibe SCOPPAt at Naples. He was a
Nobleman of Messina, and Director of the Schools on
the English system, lately established in the king-
dem—he was in the very prime of life. His work,

LIMERICK, DECEMBER to.
On the evening of Sunday last, we were visitec
with a very heavy gale from S.W. to, N.N.W. Az
eight A.M. a vessel drove from her moorings
MARK. Fistiaer, and Mtatt's Quay, and ran foal
the brig Nancy, of Greenock, NICHOLAS Coss
Master, which carried away her bowsprit, sprites:
yard, covering board, topstreak, starboard chain.
plates, and stove her yern.boat and lung.hoat. TLe
Nancy also breaking loose, carried away the Lowset:t
and past of the carved work of the head of the brie
Hero, of Chepstow, which breaking loose, ran ua
board the sloop Raven, of Liverpool, and sem: her
stern ; and last evening the sloop Neptnee of Yar-
mouth, Jolts/ *Canby Master, arrived at the Quay,
having cut both her cables at Scatters., in teeg,le ct
wind, at ten A.M. yesterday. At a Lee h, or yes-
terday tl.eevind had not ceased to blow here, several
shop windows were closed, bolt this morning all is
again calm. The damage done its our harbour is,
however, but trivial ebbed compared with the felher-
ing melancholy intelligence which has just been com-
municated to the Chamber of Commerce of this City
'from their Agent at Scattery
SCATTERY, Dec. 8.-1 beg leave to state, that at
ten o'clock last night, wo were visited by a .c In re 7. d't
from S.W. to N.N.W. which continued welt unangted
violence, until day-fight this morning. The Wands-
letir and Minerva cruisers, with the blies the Jame;
Berridge and the Venerable, and the sloop 1'1(7,11e.
weathered out the gale in Scattery roads; the N-e-
-tone ran up the river at 9 A.M. this day, and 1 believe
must have parted her anchors. The Mary Connors,
from Glasgow, also weathered out the gale at the fcor
of Capp*, but I ant sorry to intortn sett, that see
M 'ry, Caneaes, for Galway, was drove on shore at
low water last night, between the Revenue Baat-hou.e
and Captain irwre's, where she sees store to pieces;
the crew and materials are saved.—The shop Uriret
and brig Fame, which lay in the Cre, k of Kilrush.
were driven to the opposite side. Tie Union has set.
lered materially, but the Fame has received little, it
any damage. The sloop Eozabetli and Sally, whirr.
WAS loaded 'in the Creek, was drove up under the CM
Watch House, at tl.e creek's mouth, and will he gie
off witticut injury. 'The William, Hero, and LiSer7
