The Statesman.

a war for a cause not immediately concerning Swe.
den, without the consent of the Diet, this successor
to the Throne would have been greatly endangered
;„ etrter case, the not obtaining of Norway, or the
loss of any considerable part of the army.
T was, doubtless, a most difficult task, and
it must be owned that he has contrived to perfom it
with uncommon ability, particularly by acquiring
in the meeting at Abe the personal friendship and
esteem of the Emperor Alexander. The Nobility
toots its influence more and more, ind lost consi.
tlerably even at the last Diet. Impoverished by the
fondness for external splendour, encouraged, per.
haps, by the Goveroment itself, it is continually
siokitte, and tries to maintain itself by alliances
with lich merclvints who, then, as well as in Den-
mark and Norway, are daily rising in consideration ;
though Fabian Fersen was made this year Knight of
the Order of the Seraphim, this party is likewise
falling into insignificance, and the prowl Countess
Piper is so shunned that she is - now confined
to the society of her former Governess.—
Hoe ever, there are still observed about the
Crown Prince many descendants of the first fa-
milie., as, for example, a young Count l3rahe, the
la,t drsceerlant of this celebrated family, who are
0.11011 4 oughts by the Royal Family, the nation re-
proaches t im with having given the Norwegians such
great privileges; and this very reproach accords with
his %sidles to procure them similar privileges at the
earnest of the Nobility. The King, formerly dis-
tinguished as an intrepid warrior, and as an able and
upright statesman, is justly rejoiced at the laurels
with which, as it is stated in the addresses, his
adopted son adorns his grey hairs. The Prince has
also found means to please the Queen; and she not I
only sees in him her support against a hostile party,
but is taken with his obliging and respectful man-
ners. IVhether the retirement of the Crown
Princess has been caused by misunderstanding
With the Princess, the Princess Sophia Albertina
and other ladies, who were proud of their high
birth, is not now a subject of enquiry, bat many
reports on her conduct are asaredly unfounded.l
—Prince Oscar is an amiable Prince, who has al-
rewly gained great perfection in the Swedish lan-
guage. lie has acquired much valuable knowledge
and dexterity in bodily exercises ; he studi: s con-1
swirly, and particularly applies to the serious anti
mathematical sciences. Ile is educated with great
strictness, and, it is said, for instance, that he was
once put under arrest for having been present at a
ball without his father's knowledge. The nation is •
estremely attached to him."

of the cat I,enter's premises and the adjoining cow-

property promiscuously out of their windows into

Anti-Attrition has no smell with it, remedies the
defects of bnd tanning, and preserves leather from the
ill effects of bad blacking, at the same lime that
boots and shoes, when blackened twice or three times
after being rubbed with Anti-Attoition they will ap-
pear more ben utiful— will last one-third longer than
they otherwise would do, and one half-crown boa of
