March l1th, published in Christiana, referring TO
this matter remarks: 1t is high time decisive
step taken, in order as speedily as possible to
effect the relief of our deluded country - and

mended such course to DO pursued, but without
effect" "If,n saws the Dagblodet, 1.-THE govern
ment had acted promptly, in the matter great
deal of suffering might have been spared the poor
people. But better late than never. His Majesty
is expected to act promptly, and the agent with
kingiy power will probably soon arrive in San
Francisco. MANY NoRwEGIANs."
