-■ '^AtS period when, after along OesiiqpJlhe last
Dietseparated, the fairest prosper t of posts opened.
lor Sweden ; aftsr a Jong tenet of severe misfor
tunes, lasting trsnrjwlity teemed to have obtained
for (bit kingdom. Three treaties of peart' had Re
fund the dominion which remained at the eiid of a
most destructive war, and a generous Prinre, placed
near the throne, promised powerfully to suppoitthe
nstitution formed by the states of the empire, am]
y thing promised to well-disposed Swedish cili
s certain indemnification for past misfortunes.—
is royal majesty fondly shared in the pleasing
bopain which his faithful subjects indulged on this
bead, when one of those unexpected blows, with
which Providence at times destroys the hopes of
: men, annihilated ours. The Crown Prince Charles
Augustus was no more, and his death shrouded the
.future destinies of Sweden in a dreadful gloom. His
royal majesty, with a mind deeply aliened by a loss
Universally so severely felt, yet mindful of his royal
v fluty, contemplated the state of publick affairs, and
^feU thUfnughly convinced, that for the preservation
^ of the Wdependenee of the Swedish empire, it be
came inmspensibly necessary to secure, without the
least delay, the succession to the throne, which ap
peared to him the only means of preserving the
tranquility of the empire, by a firm and wise go
veniment, tounded on the fundamental laws of the
constitution of our country. Deeply impressed with
4f those sentiments his majesty "perceived with plea
Mp that the voice of his people, equally aware of
■'We necessity speedily to choose a successor to the
ft. Swedish throne,^loudly and unanimously declared in
favour of the prince of Ponte Corvo. Brifliant ex
. pluits have illustrated his name as a warrior, at the
same tin'ie that eminent talents mark hitn one of the
^piost skilful statesmen of our age. Universally ali
en iredior the probity of his character and the mild
,,n»s»of his temper, he found opportunities even in
.the midst df the misfortunes of war, to shew his ut
tarhment to the Swedish nation, hy the kind and
friendly manner in whirh lie treated the Swedish
> officers and soldiers whom the chanre of war sub
: Ejected to his power. All these circumstances 'and
jfi considerations coold sot but fix his majesty's at-i
' teniinn and determine, bis resolution, when the
question was, to propose a successor to the Swedish
throne. •*. # , <.' "
Yet hit royal majesty r.as not tailed to take on
is. important qfusiion the sense of the {tales of
! empire, and of the secret committee of theroun
instate, a large majority of the former, and the
unanimous opinions of the latter perlet tly coincided
with hi* majesty’s sentiments on this point. His roy
al majesty thinks, (hat by confiding (he future desti
hies of Sweden to the Prince of Ponte Corvn, los
sell earned military fame, while on the on* side it
Secured the independence of the state, will on llie u
ther hand render it superfluous for him to engage in
«|tesb wars ; that his strong mind, tutored by long
' ' axperienre, will maintain national tranquility and
* Older, and secure to our laithful subjects a lung and
Undisturbed enjoyment of the blessings of peace ; and
lastly, that his son will remove in future times that
uncertainty of succession to the throne which some
late lamentable events bad rendered still more im ;
portent to this country.
“ From all these considerations, his royal msjes- '
ty feels obliged to propose to the assembled stati s of
the empire, his serene highness John Baptist Juli „
W Bernadotte, prince of Ponte Corvn, us crown'
prince of Sweden, and his royal majesty’s succes
sor to the Swedish throne. His royal majesty must,
however, expressly add the reservation, that should
the said prince be chosen by the slaves of the em
. ^rtre successor to the Swedish throne, be must, pur
suant to the fundamental laws of their kingdom, be*-!
• fere be arrives on Swedish ground, adopt the tenets
of the pure evangeliral creed, and also sign a simt
lar assurance, as the stales of the empire formed
for the late crown prince. Mis royal majesty bag
ho# pel formed the doty prescribed to him by the
Constitution of the Realm, and now expects the
resolution of the States. A>lay the rboice which
- they are about to make, secure the glory and pros*
" peri ty of opr beloved country, and thus fulfil the
most earnest wish, which his royal majesty can e
• ver entertain.

V; i r •’ More of General Sarrazin.
Mr. ''Editor—Having often had the honour of
rndversiiig with general Sarrazin since he arrived
in London, I see it incumbent on me to .state what
I think of him. GetieralrSarrazin acknowledges
that fort he purpose of obtaining the rank of general
■ wf division, be published a flattering, address to Bu
oOparteat the lime of his rorronation,. which if h«'
had ndt known that gcnerfl, he must have suppos
ed ynn intended to have turned him into ridicule.—
So lar from it, however, be sent a message by hit'
librarian, Rippault, “ that be was pleased with it,_
•nd had given orders that the manuscript should be
deposited in hvs private library.” It is the iptenti*
On of geneva! Sarrazin to atone for this error by a
Jail
aitbful statement of the conduct of that extraordi
nary man. His biographical note, which has been
submitted to the perusal of persons most respectable
WHf aciroiint of their rank and talents, has been high*
Hrapproved wL>.' Within one month after general
*^Mrrazin's arrmn in this country, he put into the
af government very circumstantial observa
Biiticrs and the coast

frdin the Scheldt to Trieste; the organization and

wbap it is Known, that l!l|tnaparle hat established i
oyertjie whole country a police almost above enm
| prehension: Bribes, promises^ and threats, are
employed according to circumstances: and almost
always with 'success, not utily th the recesses of
domestic life, but even in the midst of those court <
that preserve a shadow of independence, A single
fact will explain this enigma. In 1796', &>napuiir,
tbo' commander m chief of the aroiyuf Italy,
was only allowed by the directory 40,000 francs (a t
bout'17001.) a year. At this very time lie gave
100,000 francs (upwards of 40001) a month, to
a private secretary of tha'Austrhm minister Thur
got. The consequence was, that he obtained the
most minute information respecting the state of the
armies, the orders they received,-the several peri
oJs in 4»hich the reinforcements were -sent off,
&c. &c.
1 could also collect from gen. Sarrazin, that it
was a very pievaleut opinion in France, that the
absurd pretensions of Bonaparte to Heroine sove
reign of the ocean, would one day prove fatal to
i;is power.
| Me also says, that it is well known that Bonapar
te holds the house of Lorraine in ntter abhorrence ;
and that in marrying the arch-duchess, be had only
the secondary object in view, of emptying the for
ces of that power in the execution of his plans a
gainst the continent. Ilis principal object was
to^cajole England by this most extraordinary mar
riage; which, far from affording security Hgainst
the ambition of Bonaparte, should only be ronsi- |
dered as a most dangerous snare; the climax uf the I
wise policy of this man, whose friendship is infi
nitely more dangerous to Eugland, than his vain
and ineffectual boasting.
LAW INl RLLIGENCE.
Court or Kings Bench, Aug. 7.
INSURANCE CASE.- barratry.
Wright vs Palmer.
This was an action on a policy of insurance to
recover from the underwriters.
The Attorney-general staled the case,from which
it appeared that ll.e policy of insuruuce in question
was for the ship’s voyage to mid from the coast oi
Africa. The ship went to the coast «f Africa, hut
her captain, (Hemming*) while there, commenced a
very dissolute sort of lite, living in a most extrava
gant manner, connecting himself with one of tire
native women, and ultimately brought his affairs to
such a pitch, that be was either ashamed or airaiu
ni lacing bis owners in London. Having remained
on the coast So long as he found it convenient 01
pleasurable, or nil he was mused to some sense in
bis situation, he then set . sail firr other clime*,
changed the name of the ship to that ol Los Altr
tus, end mi: Stquemlv arrived at St. I'limnas's.
where he becalm quite a tiezo man, in every sense ol
the worn m km* himseli a , o.opiate Spaniard.
changing hi* iiMoeto that of Z). « Jotzdr Mum, •»
sumin* ttie Spanish <'r .s*, mustaihi •». . us well
as the Spanish religion ! Here Dan Juei dt Main, a
lias captain (h-rnaiiogs, agreed lor ibe sale of his
ship, with some roan, having a confounded long
Sp .msh name, who lor such a purchase gave the
Don Captain a loll drawn on some D ai in Portugal,
tut who, on the loll bring piesentrd f,-r acceptance,
t ri fused to put his name to it! The Don Captain was
; to get 110 redress, so that he hart lost his ship,
it being wrung from him by a deeper knave than
himself. Here then was a knave without ihe fruits
of his knavciy. The next thiu Don Jtszde Main
did, was to write to bis owneis in Loudon, telling
them where he was, and how hardly he had been
Nsed. He told them that he left the coast of Africa,
and went to St. Thomas’ for their good ; that the
new had been so mutinous as to ohlige him to sell
the ship, which he did for their good ; in fact, every
thing he hud done was solely lor their good! But
the learned gentleman said here arose the difficulty,
lie had no proofs to establish this case of barratry
on the part of rapt. Hammings, not being able to
find one of the sailors, and the captain’s own letters
could not be giveu in evidence. The captain had
gone to America, and probably he would never be
seen again in England.
Lord Ellenboiougb observed, lhat from wbat had
been stated, it would be impossible to make out the
barratry, and to establish the action.
The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited.
