THE STATFSM AN.

STOCKHOLM, 'AVG. 15.—His Royal Majesty
has sent to the Diet the following message relative
to the pension which the States are to allow to the
late King, Gustavus Adolphus, his Queen, and
children :

" The period is now fast approaching, when a Prince,
who lately govertsed Sweden, but whose claims to the S wedish
crown have.been eoletunly cancelled by the unanimous reso-
intim of the States of the Realm. must absent himself from
this couistry. Their own spontaneous wishes agree on this
point with what the public tranquillity and security requires.
His Royal Majesty has taken the advice of the Secret Com-
mittee on a subject of se mach importance, which, however,
the state of public affairs does not yet permit his blajesty
to communicate to the Diet, and he therefore confines him-
self at present to the question—' What pension or yearly
allowance are the States of the Realm willing to grant to
their late King, his Queen, and children ?' Which question
being answered. another will occur relative to the country
which it will be most proper to amigo for the midence of
Gustavus Adolphus and his family.
" His Majesty does not deem it superfluous to add some
observation which the States are to bear in mind in their deli-
benstion on this subject. The States cannot but be aware, that
their decision most bear the,inmp of d igaified generosity, which
becomes a noble-minded nation, that misfot tam craves respect.
and that humanity itself commands forgiveness and oblivion of
the past. His Royal AMje•ty is anxiously desirous that the
States of the Realm, by dividing the subject under discu,sion,
no these principles should meet his wishes, and thus give a
pledge to Europe of the purity of the motives which in-
duced Sweden to revive her system of Government, and re-
new the structure of the State. '.• CHA REES."
