ANHOLT M.4IL.

STOCKIKOLN) JAN. 9.—His Loyal Majesty's health
being now so far re-establisfed, that his Majesty
conceives himself able to rename the functions of
Government, his Majesty thought proper, in oot-
formity to his resolution, transmitted to his Royal
Highness, the Crown Prince, to appoint the 7th of
this month for that purpose. For this purpose all
the Members of the Council of State, and the Secre-
taries of State, at half-past ten o'clock on that day,
waited upon his Royal Highness, the Crown Prince,
when his Excellency, Count Gyllenberg, Minister of
theJusticiary department, explained to hisltoyal High-
ness the sentiments of respectful esteem and gratitude
with which the Members of the Council were filled
during the time that his Royal highness had directed
the national affairs, which sentiments never would
forsate them. His Royal Highness was to reply to
this Address in the most gracious terms, and where-
upon the Crown Prince, accompanied by the afore-
said Lords and Gentlemen, repaired to his Royal
Majesty, to whom he read the statement of the pub-
lic basiness, hereafter following in this Paper, from
the 17th of March last. His Royal Majesty, over-
powered with the most lively sensations, embraced
the Crown Prince, and declared that he could not
express all that his heart felt on this occasion to-
wards him, but left the internal satisfaction winch
his Royal Highness must derive from past times, to
tell him all that his Royal Majesty's gratitude, and
the well-founded establishment of the kingdom's
welfare require towards him.
The following is the substance of the Crown Prince's
Address:—

" His Royal Highness! tates, that his :11.vatsTx,
by adopting the Continental s) stem and declaring
war against England, had ruined the produce
of the customs. That more than two mil-
lions of rix-dollars had been employtd in re.
crafting the army, repairing the fortresses and flee';
that Swedish commerce had been reduced to a mere
coasting trade ; that the Danish cruisers had given
great cause for complaint ; that the oruisers under'
the French flag had committed great injuries, which
his MAJESTY, the Emperor of the French had gua-
ranteed to redress ; that fifty American ships, driven
by stress of weathr upon their Swedish coasts, had
been released ; that Sweden was ou the most amica-
ble footing with Prussia, Russia, Austria, and
Turkey ; that Swedish intercourse has entirely ceased
with Southern America, owing to the civil war which
rages there. His Highness, after stating the exte-
rior relations of Sweden, proceeds by saying, That
lie has adopted measeres to encourage the manufac-
tures of linen' growth of hemp, &c. &c. &c. ; that
he has carried into execution the solemn declaration
of the States, sanctioned by his M tJESTY, in re-
gard to a national armament, and had ordered the
embodying of 15 out of the 50,000 men placed at his
MAJESTY' disposal; that the disturbances in Scanva
had been quelled ; that the regular army, and army of
reserve, had been new clothed and armed, and the
pensions granted to Officers and soldiers wounded in
the late war augmented.
f" Your MAJESTY will perceive by this statement,
that notwithstanding the calumniators of Sweden'
may say it would require 60 years to organize an
army of 60,000 men, she could accomplish it before
next April. The object of this augmentation is
purely defensive. Sweden has no other wish than •!
that of being able to preserve her liberty and laws.
"The King of SWEDEN has published an act of grace ;
to the mntineers in the district of Malmo, promising
oblivion of their faults on returning to their duty."

64 The peace, so confidently spoken of by the
last accounts from St. Petersburgh, appears to have
vanished, and a battle to have taken place between
the Turks and the Russians, in which the former I
suffered considerably ; the whole of their army,
which was on an island in the Danube, amounting to
W,OOO mem have laid down their arms." I

BERLIN, jAN.2.—Reports having spread abroad
concerning private recruiting for an independent
corps having taken place in this City, his Majesty
has deemed it necessary to have strict enquiry made
into the matter, and from which it appears that an
Officer in the army has formed an idea of raising an
independent corps in the event of a war breaking
out, if he could obtain the Royal permission for
such purpose, and that he had not only expressed
such intention, but had also given information to
people out of employ, in case of war taking place,
to apply to him, and in consequence of which, his
Royal Majesty has condemned him for such otlenee
to a year's imprisonment in the fortress of Glatz.
One of his friends, who was acquainted with his
intention, but without participating in its exe-
cution, has received orders to retire to his estate,
and not to leave it without permission.—The
Commissary of Justice, M. Bartels, who had been
advocate for the first-mentioned person in seve-
ral law processes, was also arrested at the commence-
ment of the investigation, but released in a few hours,
it appearing he had not the slightest knowledge of
the business • and, as might be conjectured from his
known *tin:able chaNter, never would have take

the slightest concern in it, and for which cause his
Royal Majesty has given command to justify him by
a due and proper declaration thereof.
Ilaussmv, Dzc. 25.—We are informed from Os.
tend, that an English ship, of 500 tons Wain*,
'with 70 men, and 12 guns, from the West Indies:
had been captured and brought into the said hart.
boar. The value of this prize is estimatated at sere-
ral million of livres.
