STOCKUOLM, Nov 2.s—The following are some I
details of the solemn eatraace of his Highness the
Prince Royal into this capital : it took place yes.
terday, at two in.the afternoon.
His Royal Highness arrived by the Nore-zois
where he was complimented by the Governor of the
city, the Magistrates, and 513 elders. On a signal
being given, a salute of 198 cannon announced the
entrance of his Ilighttese into the capital. The Go-
vernor, the Magistrates, and the body of citizens,
preceded the carriage of the Hereditary Prince, and '
the cavalcade proceeded to the palace, passing.
through the finest streets. .
'the Greed Marshal of the Court, and the
Gentlemen, drew •p un arriving at the foot of the
staircase, and formed an avenue for his Royal
Highness, who was accompanied by the Count
D'Esseu. The hlarshel of the Court, and the
King's Household, were in the grand dinuereliall,
and the Prince Koyal passed through the chamber
of audience, and arrived at the Privy-chamber of
the King. His Majesty was surrounded by the
Lords of kingdom, his Council of state, the
Officers of his Guard, and the Members of the Diet.
[Hie Royal Highness then pronounced theaddress
to his Majesty, which we have formerly given.)
On the 31st, a numerous deputation of the States
of the kingdom had an audience of his Royal
Highness in the Palace, both to present him with
the act of election, and to receive the signature of
his Highness to the act of guarantee, which the
States had drawn sp. The Deputation was headed
by the Baron de Fleming, Marshal of the Nobi-
lity, who addressed to his Highness a speech, of
which the following arc the principal passages
it Must Serene Prince, Prince RoYil Elect of
Sweden ! a people weakened, but not subdued by.
misfortune ; a people who once beheld glory united
to its name, and victory faithful to its colours, still
in possession of its independence and its honour;
this day entrusts the direction of its future destinies
to a hero, a statesman, and a friend to humanity.
" Clothed with these glorious titles, your High.
ntss is about to receive the hereditary rights to the
throne of the Charleses and of the Gustavuses, a
sceptre which the last of their descendants still
hears ; that King who, venerable both by his vir-
tues and his age, invokes as a support to his throne
and his kingdom, the heroic arm of your Highness,
and who offers to you the same place in his heart
which he had given to a prince cherished by the
Swedish people.
" Animated by these sentiments, the States of
Sweden approach, for the first time, him among
the heroes of Europe, to whom, with a rare una-
pimity,they have entrusted that which they hold most
dear upon earth—•their country. They approach a
Prince who has attracted their regard amidst a peo-
ple whom Swedeo considers as its most ancient and
most faithful ally—of a people whose friendship
unconquered excites in our hearts glorious recol-
kctions.
".Most Serene Prince, if the force of laws, if
the sanctity of the social union, the protection of
hainattity, the.guarantee of truth, and of justice ;
in short, if the general improvement, whether by
• 'intellect or by rnu►ais,.are the advantages which a'
feet and generous nation demands of him who must
°lib day govern them ; it is, on the other hand, the
most•saeted duty of that nation to come before•
your Highness with an entire love, a generous
• self-denial' a fidelity immoveable, and a zealous
obedience. Full of these thoughts, the States of the
Kingdom present to your highness the solemn act
by which they give to you and your descendants an
• hereditary right to the ancient 'throne of ,Sweden,
' after your Royal Highness shall have deigned to
• subscribe the deed of grant, which will always have
for its hest guarantee, the virtues which *Europe
• recognizes in your person.
" How solemn, how affecting this moment ! May
It be consecrated for ever by the happiness of Swe.
, den, and by the blessings of all future genera-
tions!
" The States of the Kingdom beg most humbly
to be admitted to partake of the goodness of your
Royal Highness."
His Highness condescended to reply by a speech
in French, of which the Chamberlain Luveuhicli»
read a translation.
" Good Lords and Men of Sweden !
•r A premature death has destroyed the hopes
-which Sevaleu had attached to the person af Prince
Charles Augustus. Ho desired the happiness of his
country. The tears which flow at his tomb prove
the gratitude of the nation. Happy the princes
who leave behind them such regrets !
44 Afteehaving from my youth served the mm.
. try which gave me. birth, I wished to terminate my
days in repose, when Sweden offered me the here.
stitary succession to tho throne of her kings.
" In the consent of a justly venerated King, in .
the free and unanimous choice of -a celebrated tia-
. tion, I believed that I saw the decision of Provi.
*nee ; it was my duty to obey : my soul rose to the
height of my new destiny. On setting foot on the
territory of Sweden, I was already entirely a
Swede ; was so from the moment when I had sa-
erificed every thing to reply to your confidence--from
she moment-when I had, if I may so speak, com-
menced a new existence which it was my duty to
consecrate to you.
.1 do not conceal from myself
the difficulties inseparable from the high dignity to
which 1 have been called.: but I shall think myself
sufficiently rewarded, .•tf I can contribute to the
prosperity of our country. That great object shall
snffer no aliminatior, at least while I um supported
by all the Swedet
.11eateat has given us the best of
Kings ; let minim towards him the duties of love, of
respect, and obedience. May every partial interest
disappear before the grand interest of the nation ;
may the greatest union reign among all orders of.
the State! Gentlemen, you are about to return to
your homes ; carry with you, preserve theirigon-
cord and tranquillity ; these dispositions alone con-
solidate the prosperity and independence of our

common country.
66 I receive with gratitude the expression of your
marl! for my person ; I &verve them by the at.
ticbutent. and sifscese filardithip which I swear to
each ce you. , .
46 I remain, good Lords sod Wu of Sweden,
your affectiouste Priucs." •
