The Swedish diplomatist La',opened% is about to
prebliek a pamphlet on the relation between Sweden
and the Wooer's Powers, which is calculated to
throw mach new light on the negotiations which pre-
sided sad led to the treaty of November. Accord-
Log to this authority, both the Lag and the Crows
Penes Charles were from the very beginning of the
Oriental complication of affairs perfectly aware of
the nosseity of &Wide:stag the traditional policy of
King Charles John, and making an alliance with the
Winters Powers, although each a step must oats.
rally be only taken with the greatest caution, to
evade the attacks of the opposition press, which would
sot fail teeny oat at seeing the traditions of 1812
abandoned.
It i. trot that the offer of the Aland Islands was
rejected by Sweden in the intone of 1864, after the
implore and destruotion of Somareund; bet it wan foe
the same reason that Proles sod Ragland aban-
doned them, cooly, that they were considered
airenabie without the possession of Finland. The
treaty of the god of D.-cember, 1864, had the effort
of lantana' K•ag Ow to come toward mote
boldly than he had hitherto done, being led to believe
that Austria was going to take an souse pert is the
war. In the smooth of March last jeer the 'nota-
tions were opened at Paris by Count Tascher (the
grand master of the hoosehold of the Empties
Eugenie), who is alike related to the present dyes,•
tie, of France and Sweden. King Omar demanded
a guarantee for the menaced posae,sion of his terri-
tory end a powerfel material support. In conse-
quence of this • lively correepoadenee took plate
between the Emperor of the French and the King
and the Crown Prince of Sweden, sad • detailed
report of tie resources of Sweden was tramemitted
to Paris. Tbo King demanded pecuniary subsidies
and an army of • hundred thonsaed men, the opera-
tions of whom should be shared sad supported by
sixty. thousand Swedes. If they sooesedi d in eon-
quenag Fiened, it was to be gives again to Sweden.
L the meantime, when the negotiation bad
seeded thee far, the allies decided as eciatteing their
operations for the year 1866 to the Crimea, with
merely • demonstration in the Baltic. The real balsa
fide Baltic campaign wee adjourned, and it was only
after the fall of Sebastopol that the negotiations
with Sweden were renewed by the memorable
oinks of General Canrobert to Stockholm, which
led to the conclusion of the treaty of November,
which, however, is only to be coasidered in the light
of • provisional one ; and there is every reason to
believe that if the conferences at Pans are broken
off, and hostilities r*commeace, Swedes will boldly
throw off her neutrality, and take an active and
honourable part in the campaign, for which every
preparation has been making toes long time, both as
regards the navy, the land forces, sad the artillery.
