to free the country from the oppression of its tyrants, he did
nut make every exertion to correct the vices which exist in
the interior administration, and to raise this magnanimous
and grievous nation to the high degree of splendour and
power to which it is entitled by the fruitfulness of its soil,
the henigiiity of its climate, the extension of its coasts, and

which have constantly opposed the progress of our agricul-

contributions called alcubuiri,, cicadas, and milleaes—imposts
which, obstructing the ii.terior circulation, and pressing un-
equally on the productions of the hind, on manufactures,
and, in general, on all objects of commerce, not only have
banished from our unfortunate country that liberty withont

Under circumstances so deplorable, or rather
desperate, without pecuniary resources, exhausted,
drained, and depopulated, it is not easy to see what
terms can be obtained from ALVIANDEIt, ex-
cept such as he may be pleased spontaneously to
grant. Assuredly none can be extorted from him.
We may safely antic:pate the cession of all the pro-
vinces that his arms have conquered. Sweden, then,
whoever may nominally reign at present, or may
eventually succeed to the throne, most sir.k to a
level with the weakest European kingdoms; even
with the revolutionary ones of Wiitensberg. or of
Westphalia. Nothing. indeed, except the naval
protection of Great Britain, or the more po-verful
support of ICAP,OLEON, can, according to all ap-
pearances, prealitit Sweden from being, on the first
rapture with Russia, overrun, subjected, and swal.

'"and by shutting every Swedish port against as. le
a word, by sulmaittitig to all the privations and
sacrifices, under which Denmark, Prussia. sod even
Russia herself, continue to retain the name of

the imprudence of GUSTAVUS IV. and the errors of
the present British Ministers, will conduct the only
Baltic power, which, up to this times hie continued
