SWEDEN

(nom OUL CORRESPON)SENT)

STOCILISOiMiJov. 19.
We hive nothing fresh. here to communicate ;
- you know elm* of the ,step the Government bas
bees forced to take againit English ships, namely,
to shut the Swedish ports. Several ..of the first
merchants have applied to the King, its order to
know whether the packets are to proceed to Got-
• teuburgh. as heretofore. The answer they received
was; that, as the English packets were not ships of
war. or merchantrueu, and are prohibited from tak-
ing on board any thing but passengers, their lug-
gage. and the mail, they alone have a right to put
into a Swedish port, provided such port be situated
abo►e Landscrona. However, some think that
Russia will reuionstrate against this proceeding.
—You can hardly imagine bow dull every person
is here : few frequent the public places of amuse-
ment.. and livery one seems to be absorbed in
..thoughts about the new King. The Prince of
Augustenburg, arready elected, mid who accepted
of the Crown on the event of a pence, is expected
here.—A d..put'atien of tight Members of the Diet,
and a long suite of the principal Officers of the
Court, are setting out to receive him at Gotten-
burgh, and troops are ordered to be at that place
to pay him military bonen:v.—General Baron
Adlersparre is to proceed to Norway, to the Prince,
■nd to iuforni him of the preparations. On the
other hand, hie Excellency Count Ruth, Senator
of the Kingdom, Count Delogardie, Colonel of the
King's Body Gnard, and the tint(' Nobleman in
rank ; Admiral Baron Stedinck, brother to the
Ambassador at St. Petersburg'', have deduct] '
them.elves in favour of the accession of the son of
Gustavus. It is cenfidently reported that the Eno-
peror Alexantle! (though insane of the t or.
ticks of the Treaty of Peace he stipulates not to in-
terfere in the internal government of Sweden),
covertly favours the election of the son of Gusta-
vus. and, with the circa of making the Queen
of Gustavus, who is Alexander's sister.iu.law.
more sl sae sire;—if this party should succeed,
it is thought that the answer given by Prince
Angusteaburg, with respect to the words, " when-
" ever a peace shall take place."- will be con-
strued to menu a General Peace in Europe,
and that he will receive an indemnification for
the artifice practised upon him. The demands
of Denmark having been received, and amongst
others, two millions of rig-dollars, for the fleet
the English took, • verbal explanation became
indispensable ; after much preliminary discus-
sion. the Danes agreed to send their Ambas-
sador. Berea Gyldencrone. to Jonkoping. Ac-
conliegly. Chevalier Adlerbergl a was ordered to
repair thither, and Woolly set out on his joura
asy ; but informatiat being received that the De-
sists A•sh•aeador had just left Copenhagen, the
etiquette of the Court obliged Chevalier Arlin-berg
to stop half way, so that the two Ambassadors
should .arrive at Jonkopieg at nearly the same
time. An inventory is making of all the property
belonging to the late King Gustavus Adolphus.
in order to ascertain this sum which should be
allowed him for msintena•ce. Applications had
repeatedly been made to hint to state the exact
amoosit of his property. but he did not condescend
to comply. lie still resides at Gripshelm. It is
said that-the Diet will break up on the Ist of the
ensuiog month.

I beg Ikea to inform you, there is a report in
circulation here, that the former King, Gustavus,
is dead, and that there is some disturbance at
Stockholm ; indeed, It is expected some material
change is about to take place.—Every thing is
quiet at Gottenburgh ; the Officers of the English
ships land. and frs gurney come to town in phiin
clothes, it being the sespirst of the Governor for
them not to appear in uniform. Admiral Dis.kson
is arrived from the Reit, and commands its Ilawk

a great deal of ice here now. The packets are ex-
pected to continue corning here all the winter.

LONDON,
SATURDAY. DitcEmane 1.

Two Gottenburgh Mails arrived last morning,
with letters and papers from that city, to the 22d
last. The Congress, for negociating a peace be-
tween Denmark and Sweden, commenced its sit-
tings at Jonkoping on the 10th. The Prince of
AVOUSTENOCIGH was expected at Gottenburgh, to
make some flintier arrangements respecting his
succession to the throne of Swedes.

The follnivii.g Circula► Lette► has been sent to

to be in the interest of Mintstcrs :

" Sir,
" Your most faithful sad obedient Sexist,
"SPLSCER pEacevAL.-

A notice of this kind is not new, but it is rather
uunsual to send it so long before the day of trial.
—When the great distance of time, until the
meeting of Parliament, an interval of nearly two
months, is considered, we cannot conceive how
positive end satisfactory answers can be expected.
Many, who are' disposed to obey the call, may net be
able to auswer fur the possession of the means, at so
remote a time. Others, who are not actually heuod
to the Minister, and are influenced by measures, not
men, may complain that they are in darkness, and
must have some light before they can make up
their minds. Marquis Watt.tster, it is true, is
arrived; but those who think he can work miracles
may wish to see him completely is office, before
they declare themselves. We cannot be persuaded
these is a man of common sense, in society, who, left
to the free exercise of his judgment, would support
ths Cabinet from which Mr. CANNING and Lord
Cori EREAGH have been removed. Mr. Peace-
Wit admitted its total debility and incapacity, by
his application to Lords Gatuvitt.x and GILET.
Surely, turn, before he issued his circular letter, he
ought to hare shewn to the world, the substitutes
whom he had prodded in the place of these noble-
men.-4le should leave completed his new Cabinet,
and exhibited his plan in full activity, both with
regard to men and measures, and. then he might
have fairly sail, " here is my system, if you Mile
to support it, ypu must 'be in your plaice in
the House of Commons. on the 234 of January
next." But-to call upon men now to declare
themselves, is to invite them t 6 walk in the dark,
to pledge themselves to Ministers and measures
not within their contemplation. Under these cir-
cumstaaces we consider the circular letter of Mr.
PERCSVAL as premature, and a proof of the anx-
iety of his mind, and of his fears for his perma-
nence in office. We trust we maybe allowed to hope
that in the event of the answers proving unfavour-
able, he %sill hose sufficient. feeling for his country,
to induce him to throw up his brief. and descend
from an emineuce to winch he never should have
aspired.
