The object of the interview was to acquaint me i that a messenger ar rived this morning, who had brought the confirmation of the dis position of his Swedish Majesty to t•o•nperate with his Britannic sa.jesty for the COMM) interest, incase that his assistance should be wanted* in other words, that Swedish troops were read-• tr, re place those of the English Government hi Zealand, if the lat ter were obliged, on account of the capitulation, or another desthation, to evamite that island. Mr. Canning concluded by proposing to me to avail myself of the departure of Mr. Merry to press my Conn to accede to an arrangement, the refa,:al of which would unavoidably he follow ed by the Swedish co-operation, and to represent to my Court the urgent neces.ity of coming speedily to some preliminary ac commodation.

Permit me, Sir, to apply direct to you, to require of you WU cially an explanation, which it is important for my Court to ob tain in nn authentic manner. The English tiovernment had thought proper to make a proposition to my Court, in part, on the threat of a co-operation of Sweden in the hostile measures of Great Britain ag - ainst Denmark. Vie Cabinet of London dares to assert, that his Simelish Majeg v has otfered to cause the English troops in Zealand to be replaced by part of his own troops, in case that the former should he obliged to eva cuate that island. The loyalty of the Sovereign, w hose inten tions it is thus attempted to calumniate, and the nature of the relations which subsist between Denmark and Sweden, sufficient ly prove the falsity of that insidious assertion. But we shall Ikel great sathfaetion to be authorized by his Swedish Majesty himself, to answer by a formal and flat denial, an insinuation more injurious to hire than it is to u•. This, Sir, is the only motive which induces me to demand of you a frank and positiy e explanation on this subject. I take leave to request you still send it me by the bearer of this letter, Mr. Holster, Lieutenant of the Royal Navy..
