it must have a meaning. The title of lieritier de

" This alteration does not appear is the treaty itself,
bat in the ratification of it, signed by the Emperor
NICROIAL at TOplits, 23rd July, 1838. The titles of
Lord of Armenia and Georgia are assumed in the
same set. Nose who have watched the uniforms
policy by which Russia has for more than a century
hem encroaching upon her soil/hams on all sides
can doubt the Mips of the Cita upon the Sandi-
madam Penissaa. With a Sent indnitely superior
to that of Sweden, and a rendezvous for his ships and
snake within a few hours' sail of the Swedish
capital; with the power of starving the north of
Norway by stopping its supplies of food; with
a dormant claim to the Norwegian throne ready to
be brought into play; NICHOLAB counts upon being
able at any time to bend to his purposes a King who
is an eyesore to all the old Monarchies of Europe,
The am of BenstartYrrz, by a mother sprung, like
der husband, from the middle classes, has °open-
. Mold in his owe perms marked alights from the
Legitimate Sovereigns of Europe. Whet in 1837 he
masts the tour of Germany, he was received at the
different Courts with scarcely common civility ; in
1821 the Royal Family of Prima rejected his over-
tures for a matrimonial alliance; when the Ex-King
of Swedes, Gummi IV., died, all the old Legiti-
mate Courts were ostentatious in their assumption
of mourning for him. Rude, there can be little
doubt, is availing itself at this moment of all
these circumstances to wheedle and bully the
King of Swat:fax, with a view to gain him in
the first instance to @observe its views against Reg-
lad and France, and in the second to increase its
inflame* over the governmeet of the Scandinavian
pinion* witk a view to its ultimate incorporation
with the empire. Russia counts also upon its mesa-
ducy in the councils of the royal family of Den-
mark, and the not very remote prospect of an oppor-
tunity to claim the succession to that throne. Russia,
Sweden, and Denmark command the Baltic; for the
emeriti's* power of Russia singly is as nothing. The
memo of Russian intrigues in the north, therefore,
while it would materially.antharram England in any
war in which we might be engaged, is pregnant with
obstructions to our commerce with the Baltic, un-
less the right steps were taken at the right time.
Our best, our only sure, reliance for counteracting
and defeating these intrigess Sinusoidal:66ly cultiva-
ting the goodwill born* by the Scandinavian peoples
to England. Policy dictates, of course, a friendly and
conciliating deportment towards their monarchs;
but the sorest guarantee for the good faith and
friendly offices of these monarchs will be found in their
consciousness that to ally themeless with Russia
spinet England and France will alienate and irri-
tate their subjects. The Suedes especially are natu-
rally and necessarily hostile to Eassia—the lost of
Finland they still consider the deepest wound ever
indicted ea their country. And no wonder : though
the extension of railroads sad meals is gradually
facilitating the intercourse between Stockholm and
the western districts of Scandiaavia, that capital still
derives its supplies of provisioss and firewood
almost exclusively from Fisland. The Mae of these
