The King of Sweden, in the follow
ing speech, delivered to the Diet, on
the 18th of Angus ;sa1roposed the
Prince of Pontc Corvc, Bernadotte)
as proper person to be chosen Crown
Prince of Sweden.
At a period when, after long Ses-
sion the last Diet separated. the fairest
prospect of peace opened for Sweden;
after long series Of severe misfor-
tunes, lasting tranquility seemed to
nave obtained for this kingdom. Three
treaties of Peace had secured the do
minion which remained at the end of
destructive war, and generous
Prince, placed near the Throne, pro.
missed powerfully to support thcy-con.'
sti,ution formed by the states1o of the
Empire, and every thing Promised to
we'll disposed Swedish cixizens certain
ipdemnihcation for past misfortunes.
His Royal MaissY fondly shared in
the pleasing b(Psln which his faithful
subjects ind@gel on this head, when
one of ~ unexpected blows, with
which Providence at times DESTROYS
the hopes of men, anuihilated ours.
The Grown Prince Charles Augustus
was no more, and his death shrouded
the future destinies of Sweden in a
dreadful gloom. His Royal Majesty,
with mind deeply affected by loss,
universally SO severely felt, vet mind
tul OF his roy al duty, contemplated the
state ofpublic affairs, & felt thorough:
ly convinced, that for the preservation
of the independence Of the Swedish
empire, it became indispensibly neccs-
sary to secure, without the least delay,
the succession 10 the Throne, which
appeared to him the only means ofpre-
serving the tranquility of the Empire.
by a firm and wise government, found
ed on the fundamental laws of the con-
stitution of our country. Deeply i'm
pressed with those sentimentf, his ma
Jesty perceived with pleasure that the
voice of his people, equally aware OF
the necessity speedily TO choose sue
cessor to the Swedish Throne, loudly
and unanimously declared in favour of
the Prince Of Ponte Corvo. Brilliant
exploits have illustrated his name as
warrior, at the same time that eminent
talents mark MIN one Of the most skill
ful statesmen OF orr age. Ugiversal-
ly admired for the probity of his char
acter and the mildDess of his temper,
he found opportunities even in the
/ mids. Of the misfortunes Of war, TO
shew his attachment to the Swedish ma
! ton. by the kind and friendly manner
. Ia which he treated the Swedish oiii-
; GERS and soldiers whom the chance q
!. war subjected to ais power. All these
: circumstances and considerations sould
{ not but tx his Msjcsty's attention and
= determine his resolution, when th'
: question was, to propose a s1cce9soi

AWFUL AND EXTRAORDINARY

In the thunder storm of Wednesday morn. last
as four teams passing alosg the road at the
east end ct Mr.. Amos Slaymaker's place (eading
to K near the turnpike. they all at the same
instant streck with lightning. One of the teams
mad hive horses, belonging to Christian Wilmer
tChckeys j the whole five were killed. The
three other teams had each four horses. They
belonged to the following named persons, viz
JACOB Brsnt, Jacob Haldeman and Jacob Baker,
and each Of these teams had thee horses xii
led The drivers we're all Oh their saddle
horses. Three Of the saddle horses were killed,
and the fourth escaped but what is most extra
ordinary aud Providentsl is the circumstance,
that not one OF the drivers appears to be injured
by the lightning. One is somewhat hurt by tie
tall Of his horse.
Marvellous IS this relation may appear, we
can voueh for its authenticity in every particular
We have it from undoubted authority.
The teams all appear to have beer struck at
the same moment. They were folio wing each
other in close order.
