Let the Swedish Monarch return to his country armed with these powerful docurnents f and they will prove more effective than the sword. Let them be., republished and circulated among its subjeefs be fore his arrival, and when they read the e , warm , ex pressions of their murdered Sovereign's gratitude, for the unbounded marks of affection which daring his life they lavished -with his son, and the *voluntary • promises of support with which they loaded TAvus's youth, shame itself, if not feeling and ho- - nour will arm them in his cause. Then will the Usurper's throne crumble into dust, and the Swedish Crown will once more glitter round the br'ows of 1116 posterity of the immortal VASA. We close our translations from these important State PaperF, never before known in this country, by a striking passage from -the last speech of GusT.A:vAs 111. to the Diet in 17D2, a short time before he was mur dered. In it shines the father, the patriot, and the Dlonarch. , ' Whilst, as the first citizen of the natiop,and the person with whom the prosperity of the state and the common weal connect you most intimately, I am, in the name of our country, to ex press sentiments of gratitude equally worthy cf you as of my self, how deeply must not my heart be moved by the pledges of affection which I and my son have received from you during the sittings of this Diet ? What additional energy must not-his love, confidence, and esteem for this loyal people, derive from-the proofs of attachmt!nt which it lavishes on his infancy ! You have observed his presence at your discussions; I have early initiated him in the knowledge of the awful duties, which Providence may one dr . .'" call on Li rn to perform. I wished to teach him the exercise of the important functions which will be en trusted to his care, and from the threshold of his existence to make him duly appreciate the people whom he is to govern, love its laws, and respect its freedom. You have anticipated my ;a ternal hope, and, outrunning time, have hastened the moment when you long to enable him to supply future successors to my throne. These anxious cares on your part, would excite in my breast an inerease of gratitude, were it not already overflowing With that sentiment towards you." Thursday we received letters from the Levant, among which was, the following : 64 Constantio:cple, Jan. 5. " News we have none-.—Peace with Russia is conedentiv ex pected, but no Ambassador has yet arrived to treat with the Vizier. The necessities of the Government are so great, that the State Officers are at present not paid, but the Sultan is a man of uncommon resources and energy. He is about 95 years of age, remarkably pure in his personal conduct, and of 'Bur pri:ing sp ed and secrecy in his measures. He is the chief person himself in all the deliberations of the government, and treq tently acts withuut intOrming his Ministers. This kind of treatment had become necessary in consequence of the late Sultans leaving too much to the management of their officers. No one now dares to traffic for his own private gain.—He is am p( cted by the Janissaries to be a favourer of the new system ; but the events -if the war have might that corps to repent of the dethronement of Sr:Lim.

MONDAY., MARCH 18. • • - ~ MUTINY BILL. . The Earl cif Livx arooe moved the third reading of the Mutiny Bill; and observe I with respect to the stiegestion.t . of the:EarT of Radnor; on Friday, that they should be full.? .considered by Government in the interval between this and next year. The Bill was read a third tjuise Earf STA Ntio then ,propesed, by way of rider, the same • clause which he moved In the Committee on Friday. His Lord. ship entered into a statei . nen! at considcrable length of the case of the Catholic soldier in Ireland, whi !) led to the recent order issued by the Earl of Harrington; the case of a Catholic ;artillery man at Woolwich, who it was stated had confined for a short time in the guard-rootn,-for refusing to attend the worship of the Established Church ; and the ease of two Irish Catholic Priests in Sicily, -whom it was stated had been sent out of the cantonments-of the army by order at Sir John Stuart, and argued from these cases the necessity of making a positive enactment, in.ord:m that those persons it) the army who were Catholics or Di,senters, should Lot be impeded m attending religious wor ship conformably to their opinions. ' . The Eatt.of Li v al'oo e opposed the clause. Earl rA N HOPE replied, and-declined dividing tho House. '1 'he clause was negatived. The Bill ...vas passed, and a Message, communicating tile, agreement of the House to the Bill, scut to the CUDIMODS••••• Adjourned. THIIR SDAY, 114 . Mtcy Alr The House again entered on the P.anbury Peerage rause. After Earl RADNOR gnd Lord REDESDALF. had spoken at great lonzth against the claims of the petitioner, the farther dis• cussion was 4cljourned till Monday. Lord HOLLAND moved for a Committee to examine matters touching the case of ti^ n tan who e led in ►ye Marshalsee Prison, from want. '1 he Noble Lord said, he must now in candour -admit, that had he hecti on the Jury, he should not have concurred in the verdict they had given. Agreed to nem. did. DOLLARS. Lord GRI±NVILLtt was aware of the high importance of the suh4ect for yvhich their Lordshys were ; , rineipally assembled, and should not take up much of their time in what he felt it necessary to suggest previously. But he ceuki apt help, in a s; , ecial manner, to solicit the attention of' the House to a pro• ceeding the most extraordinary he belioed of any that eater occurred in this country—wit waa that in which the Governor and Directors of the Bank had presumed to exercise the highest act of Royal authority, iq altering the value of the current coin of the country ; an ;tilt by which all ideas of the monarchy were confeended. It any thing could render such a proceeding more alarming, it was, that it was said to have been adopted by this advice of the Privy Council, and that too at a time w'a it , it was notorious that the other House of Parliament way ..ctualiy engaged on the very same subject...He was aware, indeed, of a wretched quibble which might be resorted to, in a denial that dollars were the legal current cam of the kingdom; hut such evasion was unworthy of notice. it was plain that a private Company, who could not reasonably be b'amed if they preferred their own interest to that of the State or the Community, had, with the consent or by the advice of the Ptivy Council, made 'an alteration in the current coin of the realm, which may ha attended with, or lead to, the most fatal Cqnsequenees. His I.ordship concluded with moving, that there be laid before the House a C Tr of the Notice issued by the Governor and Direr. tors of the sank, relative to the alteration in the value of doliars. Lord BATHURST stated, that the measure complained of was certainly adoptc:cl with the censcrit of his Majegy's Minirers, who should hold themselves responsible whenever the question should come to be discussed. It was in fact a measure of tie. cessity, arising from the advanced price of silver. Lord STAN do PE reprobated the measure of the. Bank and of the Ministers, and deprecated the mischief which might pot,. sibly ariso from the sordid speculations of men who should he acquainted with measures of such a nature, concerted between such parties as Privy Coui.ciltors and: Bank Directors. Lord' Gitan vit.t.e Moved, that in Aahiress be presented to his Royal Higlines- the Prince Regent, requesting that his Royal iligimess would c, , rnmand co it- laid betore the House Copies of ail the Correspolideuce between the aovernor Di: - ectors of the 134nk and his Majniuy's w. the sub. • jest of Altr4ing this corrcut value 1.41.141-Spleil ~.
