COPY OF A NOTE FROM COUNT BOMANZOFF TO BARON

SCIIWERIN, BEARING DATE 9-`i 1 APRIL, 109.

The undersigned Minister for Foreign Affairs having re-
ported to his Majesty the Emperor, his Master, the conver-
sation which he had with Baron Schwerin, Master of the
ilorse, and Grand Master of the Ceremonies of the Order of
Sweden, has receised his Majesty's command to declare to
him in answer that his Imperial Majesty is animated by
the most lively desire to conclude a speedy peace with
Sweden. The interruptions of the military operations at a
moment when the success attained afforded the most flat-
tering,. hopes of gaining still greater advantages, cannot but
prove it in the most unquestionable manner; but his Ma-
jesty feel• extremely concerned to discern very clearly that
the Swedish Government- is not influenced by the same de-'
sire, but merely endeavours to protract matters, and thus to re-
move the salutary work of peace to a still greater distance. His
Majesty has also strong seasons, from MI the intelligence he re-
ceives from Sweden, to entertain a just distrust with regard to
the situation of the actual government of Sweden. All these
considerations impose on him the painful obligations to refuse
the proposed armistice, and to continue hostilities until the pe.
rind when a lawful government in Sweden shall acquaint hills
Oat it is sincerely and firmly determined to conclude peace on the
sole conditions which his imperial Majesty can accept, and which
are ;Arcady known to Sweden. This resolutina of his Majesty
is not by any means dictated by a de-ire to make new acquisi-
tions, and he declares himself ready to restore all that shall have
been occupied by his troops on the other side of Kalie.
The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity, &c. &c.
(Signed) Count NICHOLAS ItOMANZOLF.
