Royal departed this day on their return to Stockholm.
it is thought they will not go by Christiania, although
the most perfect tranquillity now reigns in the interior.
The discontent of the peasants was not directed against 1,
the Royal Government, but against the Diet or St or.
thing. Thy peasants• of Norway, brave and free,
bate long formed a party in opposition to the mer-
chants and fond-holders ; they reproach the new
'Constitution with having given to these classes a dan-
gerods preponderance in the Diet—it is for this that
theywodld not hesitate to assist the Royal Power in
extending itself. lint no disposition to violence, of
act' of °resit?, was manifested by, this good, reli!l
gioni,. and truly enlightened People., The present'
'-cionditiest of Norway offers mock embarrassment.--r

ble 'to pey 041 r-taxes, and base been compelled to
pawn thelt furtlitere, and even their beds... To re cue
them from this dreadful situation, lb* Wag had ad.-
'vanced, from his private funds, a loan of 20,000
,Crowns.
The Mont of money, Which is generally felt, hes
also drawn thg attention of our Monarch daring bii

tin oinvest of a million; elf beak crowns; without
ipetting ,other, money into clicalation ; and in the
amitti dose tki eschaup of the pepir is not improved
' With respect to foreign eenceros,in, proportion to the
diminution o( this mass. Our, foreign commerce is
not more fieerisbing, and all Our mercbendise, with
the exception of dried !lays ,Pat little veal

The King bits called the attention of the Diet
the distress arising from this state of things in the'
several districts of the kingdom, that meant should-
be promptly adopted for correcting ibis evil.
