The Gazette of the 15th contains the following
official afticlet 14 Stettliolso, Marcia S.
" This asticle states leendhorn's denunciation,
which, though (Maim Ito* a source deserving of
little credit; was hoWever' too serious not to call for
an examination into its troth. It then mentions the
addresses to the Crown Nate, ia. which be was re-
quested to convey the untimenta of their loyalty.to
his Majesty. All hive humbly requested, that the
most energetic measures may be . adopted against
those whom the law shall find guilty t and all'express
their horror at those who, in their intßotent madness,
should attempt to attack a Coisstitotton founded on
thelove of the Swedish People, in their most lively
gratitude for services performed% on die national
Will, expressed by the Representatives of the People,.
and with their approbation, is firmly secured against'
all change of sentiment—against all the calculations
of faction.'

The Military Deputies were introdaced -by
Coast Stedingk, accompauied by Field-Marshal
Count Essea, who capreued their attachment in the
waraseu terms.
" His Royal Highness, in his answer, said, after
thanking them fur what they had done—' What will
this weak and contemptible handful of restless men
have, who seem to conspire in the dark to distal!) the
public tranquillity I If their plans have been merely
against my life and that of my Son, I should not
deign to pay any regard to thins. lam a soldier,
sad have long learned to despise life; but they want
to shake your fundamental laws, to attack your ho-
nour and freedom; therefore I mat rise to defend
them. The tree choice of the nation has called me
to the Throne of Sweden. The Army knows that I
did not seek this honour; but I have justified it by
defending your choice. I thereby at the same time
defend 1,-ur rights, and will continue to do, by es-
ening all the faculties which nature has given me,
and which perhaps have procured me some feputa-
tioa. Truly, I did not coins among you to gratify
a vain pride—for myself I have gained glory enough.
The happiness of Sweden is the sole object of my
sitertions, • the sole spring of my actions. I desire
freedom for you, I desire glory fur you, I desire your
welfare, and in spite of all the attempts that may
be made I shall succeed in securing to you this
most valuable possession to all honest men.'—He
concludes by telling tlom, if ever he forgets his duty,
to turn against him the arms which they now offer
f 4. his defence. —ff Attempts have been made to
make some of my brethren in arms suspected, far
from me be so odious a thought. The brave man
can never be perjured; honour and loyalty have
their abode under the coats and in the breasts of
the soldier.'

.‘ One of the most remarkable speeches of his
Royal Highness, is that to the Deputation of the
. Citizens, of which the following are passages:—
" ' For some months loose reports have been cir-
eplated in the country. Sometimes they said the•
king was dead. then my son was dying. then my life
was in dangers this was done to alarm the country.
Some later denunciitioas have attracted the attention
of the Police and of the government. Judicial in-
!pities are institeted, and the criminals, or the fakir
informers will be punished. I could forgive the au-
thors of these reports, if they only aimed at my hie ;
but they seek to overturn your liberty, your Coml.
cation, your national honour, in short, every thing
that is most sacred to the honest citizen.

" ' They have ventured to mix the names of a
Family which you have excluded from the Throne.
You know yourselves, Gentlemen, - that I did not
cause their fate.
