The Orangenen, who pride themselves on their loyalty to kings, will be glad to bear that the temptations of the Papal Inbiles have. proved, that there is one uncompromising Abdiel among the monarchs in Europe. The Hamburger Borrespondent says that the King of Sweden and Norw y fully refused either 10 congratulate Loa XIII. upon his Jabiles or to and hire a present. A wedish diplomatist was interviewed by the Jubilea Committee, and ontreated to do his utmost to pravil upon the Swedish Government to expostulate with the King. It seeme, howevor, that the Government aTION heartily seconded the stalwart, old-fashioned Protestantism of its master. Our King is the monarch of a Protestant nation," is said to haremura been the official reply from Stockhulm, "and-be was no muse, and feels no obligation, to render slangha. housar to the Pope."
