To whom do you al lude, when you speak of the King of Swedeo—the late or the present ? But was not the latter rsired to the throne by the unanimous wish of the Nobles and the people, of the Court and the town, as et were, from a hatred of your principles said of our alliance.' And the !ate King, on the was h e n u t Sour most faithful friend and your firm uliy ? Has lie nut sacootieed to you his crown, hie policy, the blood of his siihjets, and the wealth of his people ?

You shew at least a great deal of com plaisance and good nature! Unfortunate Gustavus ! If, in thy hauiehitient, thou readest this speech, what will not be thy astonishment and thy grief, not to find in it the slightest expression of re;rat ? England, to whom thou hart satrifierd thy throne and thy family, deigns not even to honour thee with regret : thou hest been abandoned. denied loin the moment whets thou ceawdit to reign.

(Monitenr.)—There is in this paragraph much bad filth. At the very moment when the kiiig spoke thus from his throne, his troops were slum cloning Badaj.a. and the left bank of the Testi., to throw thems. lees on Lisbon. leaving uncovered the Sierra Morena, and all Andalusia. If you had wished not to have to regret that Sweden should fiod it necessary to paichaae peace by considerable sacrifices, you should have landed 40,030 men in Finland. If you had wished to succour Austria, you should have sent 40,000 men to Trieste or to Ramburgh. And if, when you knew that the battle of Ratisbon had fixed the fate of Austria, you had wished to succour the Slumlords, your army at Watcher's should have bets on the field of battle at Talavera. But the fame of the success and glory of France excites in your hearts a rage so violent a shock so tumultuous of all the feelings of hatred and fury, that they rise, u it were, in clouds of smoke, which obscure your sight. You no longer think of what may be useful to you, but only of what may satisfy your rage. You must have murders and confiagratioaa. Thus it was that when, at Tilsit. peace came for the consolation of Europe. and caused tranquillity to succeed to carnage. you shuddered at be holding the prosperity of the Continent, like the devils in Milton, ea beholding the happiness of the first pair: and, to dissipate your sombre spleen, you have procured yourselves the horrid spectacle of the burning of Copenhagen. You have just seen two great nations concur to terminate the war. and presently, to console yourselves for the cessa tion of the-e calamities, you recur to new sceoespf de-tructiou sod of massacre I Since such is your justititi, Glow it; but spare your irony to the wretches *llOll2 yod MO. Now that the two Castile% La Mancha.

You talk of political assenibliet to men who have no oth•r spring of action. no other energy, than fanaticism and intperatition. Where are these Cortes to meet, milers on board your fleets? But you belicve nut a wor.l of what pm tell us, and Loudon believes it still less. There are too many English in Spain fur you to deceive yOur nation on the true state of affairs in that country.

They pay for them with their own Mood." This passage coin pl etea the developernent of your conduct, and furnishes ev?ry thinking man with a new subject of in tle.liction against you. We remark in the same pavoraph another pros titution of the sovereign power.,--It soaks of Fer dinand VII. sa if the King Cliaddltit- did no longer exist, or as if the son could be Possessed of any right, during the father's hie. What would George 111. say, were the PribiX of %Vales, with this speech in his hand, to ascend the Throne joill4f. at the head of the guards at Windsor, alliefthe people of London, he confined Isis and blihd aged father in the Tower? We cannot deny that Europe would be authorized to say, in wee a Ms. 4. Yaw have well desereed this."—What doctrine for a King who has a iOlll 40 years old ! What error! What immorality! • Thus, because the conseqiience of a revolution of valets end of guards has been, that 4 king, spotless on the throne, ha: been precipitated from it by his son, you acknowledge Ferdinand VII ! This word alone, sufficiently explains your intrigues is the uffsire of Spain. You acknowledge Ferdinand, because you have seduced those aron•id him, and that you have made use of the Dellufaute. do to drag him into Wets agai.ist his (ether and his mother. under the pretext nt attacking the Prince of Peace. The .plan settled by your parti sans was, that i:nmed:ately KM* Ovules was de. throned, the places should have be •n provided with ammunition, and strengthened ; troops marched towards the Pyrenees have changed afterwards the system, and concluded the peace with England. You, knew sufficiently the elm rector of the Emperor of the - #tench, to be con vinced that be would not agree, and that France would attack Spain ; and ou thought that the latte► wonld be com.,,elled to ii.row herself iuto your arms, and become your ►lave ! Behold the knot and the secret of the affairs of Spain !—Your partisans have openly displayed their plots. Your dreadful intrigues had succeeded an arming tin. son against the father. King Charles, pereiv.tig his life threatened, called for the support of I.i, ally, and the assistance of his army ; and he come with the Queen, to .044, in the bosom of the French army, a shelter from the fury of the mob. Were it pos.ible even to think that a son was copatile of posses..ing any right to the throne during the life of his feller, hes not Ferdinand rcnouured all hit rights ? And lies not his renunciation hetn uncoustraired and voluntary ? This speech will ever remain famous, as ■ monument of iiiconsist eney, and of that corruption of political morals which foretels the dissolution of governments, and the downrell of thrones The King of Sweden, the most faithful ails of England, is overthrown—inalesil of supporting h'm, of extending to him the hand of assistance, or, at least, of averting the eye from so afilicting a spectacle, they acknowledge and they approve, in this speech, every thing Om has taken place in Sweden. They afterwards acknowledge, during the father's life, the rights of the son, who has never yet reigned. One of the principal traits in the English charac ter is this facility of ',laying with that, than which nothing more sacred exits ! Gustavus IV. is de throned, and immediately he is denied and dis owned ! Yen say with Peter—" I know not the man whom ye speak of." Charles IV. is deposed, and you acknowledged a right in the mob to settle the throne. In a word, you call a legitimate govern ment, and treat as such, a factions set, who style themselves Jelin, and who speak in the name of Ferdinand the VII. who disowns them. and who abhors wretches, whose nuly wish is to ruin their country for the advantage of England, whilst the authority of the name of Ferdinand was used only by vagabonds. We have disdained to be explicit ; but since this name is uttered (tont the summit of the Throne of England. it will perhaps be not deemed unseason able to place before the public, all the documents concerning this cause.
