dran•ly after the !ysitli of Jeri, the Emperor in rde

part, ,hould nish to repair tire wrong which we rosy
hays done them. The interest of the State will at
last rise supen•ir to all diffetessces and petty qua"-
rels; These wete the Ltriptror's own words, in Lin
ordws. Arimated by such sentiments, the Em-
peror ordered the miltrary operations for the siege
of Stralsund. to be discontinued,. emir khe mortars
and cannon which were sent frinn Stettin for that
pu rinse, to be scot back. He wrote to General
Monier in the following words: • I already regret
what bas been done. I em sorry that the flue
suburb of Stralsund is burnt. Is it our business to
• hurt Sweden ? This is a mere dream. It is our bu-
siness to protea, not to do her any injury. In the
latter, let us be as moderate as possiole. Propose
to the Governor of Stralsund an Armistice, or a ces-
sation of hostilities, in order to ease the burden, and
lessen the calamities of a war, wlsikh i consider as
wicked, because it i. inipolitie.' On the Bth, the
Armistice was coneuded between Marshal Met-
tier and Bayou Von Lbien. Annexed is a Copy of
