NOTE FROM T}IR FRENCH MI NISTER, BARON AL- . uu LER, TO THE 14,1iNISTER or 6 - TATE , BARON D'ENOEsTEOM, DATED STOCKDOLsj, NI:WENDER 13, 1810. , , . . . ; "'Monsieur Le Bartiu, • ' I have several times redicted to your Excel - lcucy, that the evidently false interpretation given by Sweden to her engagements NVithlranCe would produce some serious and important event. i will Da lose, Monsieur Le Baron, in reminding yo(.i,of theexplariations, hitherto useless, the shot time which is allowed to me to lay before you the demands which I am charged to ' make to your Court. " His Ilajestythe Ernperw and King is inform :ed, that in contravention of the' Treaty of Paris, the most active commerce continues between Sweden and England ; that a regular correspond ence subsists between the two countries ; that packet boats come and return from England and Scotland to Gottenbtireh ; that there sail from Swedish ports, not merely some vessel; under a. simulated destination, butt iihniense convoys open ly directed for England. Incontestible accounts prove, that front the 20th to the '22d Sept. more titan 1500 vessels with English cargoes, destined for the Baltic and North sea, were in Gottenburgh Roads, and that the Swedish Minister opt confiri,. in himself to shutting his eyes upon this state 'of things, gave commercial perm'' ions to trade di rectly with England. His Majesty the Emperor and King, not only feels himself injured by so, manifest a violation of the Treaty of Paris, but considers it with a profound and legitimate re sentment, as one of the causer which, by prevent ing the concltision of peace with England, aggro:. yaws ands prolongs the misfortunes of E u r o pe.— If the British Goternment did not repose with se curity upon the fatal coodesceni t ion of. Sweden, the English vessels which -this' year penetrated into the Baltic in such nninhers, would not have entered it,..because no asylum would have been open to them ; they were sure of re• ceiving upon the Swedish side a friendly reception; • there they were'lurnished with water, provisions, wood,; there they could wait. and choose the oP portime moment for introducing their tnerchan dize upon the Continent,' anti every where this importation was favoured. His Majesty owes it to his dignity not to seller any !anger so striking an infractiou of ar treaty in which, hearkening but to sentiments , otesteem and affection for the Icing, he sliewed'hicoselfso generous to the Swedish nation. I`.r It. is certain Sir, that Sweden, by her coin , merciallelations with the English, renders the sacrifices and the efforts of the Continent useless; that in her pretended neutrality, she is the most tuiefol ally that ever the British governineot had ; that she thus constitutes herself the enemy of the Continental Powers, siter having adhered to their principles. But while . that France, Russia, 4kos7 WI., Prussia, and all the other countries of Ger. Many are suffering and imposing on themselves painful privations for the purchase of peace, it can not he expected that Sweden will for any longer time find in the .Violation of her promises the means of peaceably insuring her prosperity, and of obtaining immense riches for herself'. His Ma. jesty . the Einoeroe arid King, my master, desirous to chAng l e an order of things so opposite to the • system adopted by nearly the whole of Europe, has formally charged me to press his Swedish Majesty by the most lively inStances, to declare war against Englaed ; and at the same time to order the seizure of the Eoglish vessels in all his ports ; as likewise the coniiseatiou of all English merchandi'4 or co looial produce, wherever they away be fotind, or under whatever flag they may have, been imported, 'contrary to the tenor of the treaty, and posterior to the King's declaration, which interdicts the Uri tish commerce with his States. I have further to declare to your ExCellency, that hts Imperial and Royal Mejeity ettachet such importance to the propoSals which, in his name, I have just an nounced., dist he has expressly orde..ed toe, in case tlic King should not judge proper, fully and with out re:itrictioos, to consent to it, to withdraw myself without taking leave, five days after the (1;'..4! of the di.oatch, Which l'have the honour of addressing to pull.

" Oh ! give pie no sentiments. , ; it is from filets that we draw our proofs in matters of politics. Let us see these facts.

Alqnierl the King has nOt revolve, to ht at ‘var with England, M. Altptier shall set out immtAliately, and Sweden hball have war with Frank: and all her Allies.. Yes ; it is ; last ; I have not positively demanded lhe state of war fort;. this moment, but I am now forced (0 it by imaginable Mean'S. Sweden has already fattnd that 'she c a nnot rentain iii a mixed stab With • England, doing great injury to the Continent. 1t length thinus Have taken a general.develope= went, which requires a perfect equality of rnea stwes,- or a state of open hostility.. This is what all other powers have thought ought to be done. Russia, though stronger thou the rest. has only obtained peace with me on the condition (4 de claring war against England. AnStrlii, a power of the fwit order, if France did not exist, has frankly taken her resolution. I have been a king time the dupe of Russia and of you. She et 'length came to find, by the eatastrophe'of Hol land, that it tvas necessary to come to a deter mination, and she frankly adopted a state of war. Denmark has done SO, 101)g ago ; but with what title can I exact from that country what I cannot obtain from Sweden? I often say to myself, wll6, knows whether I shall always be on it good footing with Russia ? Who can read the chapter of events % .1,19 , it not one day he of the greatest interest to me to have a friendly power in the North, strong in its own resources, as well as by alliance ? But could it meanwhile be believed in Sweden, that I :Would relax any thing in my invariable princi ples in favour of the Yew Prince Royal ? On the contrary, the political crisis into which I have broughtmyself in her favour, gives the a : Stronger title. Meanwhile Sweden owes a' great obli gation to 'the pdrson of the Prince Royal ; for, without thatnhuld, (by no means influenced by, me), I should, two. mouths ago have takett the step which I now find .myself forced to d'o*. I nevertheless repent of this delay, which, on ac, count of the season, has been so beneficial for you ; not because I regret whatever good yon may have derived from it, but because yon hive used Inc: too ill. For a long time past, the office which was intended for you, waS found prepared in the bureau of Mons. the Puke de Cadorc, (an allirma ' tine reverence' from the Minister,) but I waited for the arrival of the Prince Royal, who is in structed in my way of thinking. Ali ! I know why you have not bests able to do it, I have told you'that I was on the 'point of embroil ing myself with Russia; I gave all Europe notice, that at this decisive moment my sys tem might he capable of modification. Besides' this, new complaints legainst Sweden reached me from sides. Ali ! I know what you have to say to me, 1 have reed all you have written.-- Well—be it so ;' there may have been some exag geration in the complaints, but. there still remains a sufficient quantity of truth. I wish.you had a better cause to defend. Oh, no ! the situation of the Prince Royal will not he so difficult, alt comes from litres there is nothing embarrassing in the choice. But yet, could they believe in Sweden that they might serve the enote of England, with out resentment on my part, 'because that I love and esteem the Prince Royal? " likewise love and esteem the Ring of I-lol land 5 he is my brother, and yet - I have broke with,him ; I lave silenced the voice of blood, to give ear to .that of mere' interest. If you were on my frontiers, I should witl.t regret be foreetito act as I . heve dent wi , h the Swiss I have caused some troops to march, and the Government his confiscated the English merclinudiee. " Let U$ resume ourselves at length, and let SWeden act as she' thinks most edsantageouS to her. I know that it is: out of my power to force her. Lei her - frankly. range herself on the side of England.against me, and my Allies,•if such be her interest, or let her unite with me against Ent land.

Open war, or constant friendship • th:s tn is my last word, my ultimate dechtratioo.— ! May 1 see you again under more favour able auspices'. " The Emperor left me without deigning to hear me farther. On leaving the Emperor's apart ment, I saw no one else in the other epartment, not even the officers on duty. I know not what had given cause to this extraordinary circum stance, whether it was by order, or proceeded from th,e•sinmtantows discretion of the Function hecanse that the Emperor had frequent Is. elevated his voice to shell a pitch, that it Was im possible not to hear him in the next room. " 1. heti etterwards a conference With the Ditke of Cadore, on parting from whom I set off for farii.. This conversation was nothing more than a repetition of What had passed Nvith the Empe ror, that my dispatch to your . Mejesty, and that of the Minister, Baron Akluier, Might agree as near ns possible Every thing having been said on this stibject, 1 could not forbear expressing to the Duke of Cadore, how sensibly I felt the harsh end violent form into which the Emperor had put his demand: The Minister laid great stress. on the satisfaction which I had (as he told me) in tem pering the Emperor's vivacity, especially towards the couelusiou , mind gaited several . passages which . expressed some. interest, and winch gave some hope (Or - the let tire.

He dwelt Much on the fact, which he . requests:d me to Make of consideration, that .the election of Monseigneur the Prince 'Royal, far from having provoked this step, on the Emperor's- part ehed retarded it for several.months, and had thereby: procured, for Sweden, a delay, doubly inspoetaut on, account of the season.
