Let the Swedish Monarch return to his country
armed with these powerful docurnentsfand they will
prove more effective than the sword. Let them be.,
republished and circulated among its subjeefs be
fore his arrival, and when they read thee, warm ,
ex-
pressions of their murdered Sovereign's gratitude,
for the unbounded marks of affection which daring
his life they lavished
-with
his son, and the *voluntary •
promises of support with which they loaded
TAvus's youth, shame itself, if not feeling and ho- -
nour will arm them in his cause. Then will the
Usurper's throne crumble into dust, and the Swedish
Crown will once more glitter round the br'ows of
1116 posterity of the immortal VASA. We close our
translations from these important State PaperF,
never before known in this country, by a striking
passage from -the last speech of GusT.A:vAs 111. to
the Diet in 17D2, a short time before he was mur-
dered. In it shines the father, the patriot, and the
Dlonarch.

, '

Whilst, as the first citizen of the natiop,and the person with
whom the prosperity of the state and the common weal connect
you most intimately, I am, in the name of our country, to ex-
press sentiments of gratitude equally worthy cf you as of my-
self, how deeply must not my heart be moved by the
pledges of affection which I and my son have received from you
during the sittings of this Diet ? What additional energy must
not-his love, confidence, and esteem for this loyal people, derive
from-the proofs of attachmt!nt which it lavishes on his infancy !
You have observed his presence at your discussions; I have
early initiated him in the knowledge of the awful duties, which
Providence may one dr..'" call on Li rn to perform. I wished to teach
him the exercise of the important functions which will be en-
trusted to his care, and from the threshold of his existence to
make him duly appreciate the people whom he is to govern, love
its laws, and respect its freedom. You have anticipated my ;a-
ternal hope, and, outrunning time, have hastened the moment
when you long to enable him to supply future successors to my
throne. These anxious cares on your part, would excite in my
breast an inerease of gratitude, were it not already overflowing
With that sentiment towards you."

Thursday we received letters from the Levant,
among which was, the following :

64 Constantio:cple, Jan. 5.

" News we have none-.—Peace with Russia is conedentiv ex-
pected, but no Ambassador has yet arrived to treat with the
Vizier. The necessities of the Government are so great, that
the State Officers are at present not paid, but the Sultan is a
man of uncommon resources and energy. He is about 95 years
of age, remarkably pure in his personal conduct, and of 'Bur-
pri:ing sp ed and secrecy in his measures. He is the chief
person himself in all the deliberations of the government, and
treq tently acts withuut intOrming his Ministers. This kind of
treatment had become necessary in consequence of the late
Sultans leaving too much to the management of their officers.
No one now dares to traffic for his own private gain.—He is am-
p( cted by the Janissaries to be a favourer of the new system ;
but the events -if the war have might that corps to repent of
the dethronement of Sr:Lim. The gr.atest . defect in the cha-
racter of MA I/U.40;1D is paid to be a slight tincture of superFti.
Con. rie is ve; y religious, and has great faith in the power of
the Projahet's Auteriereacel tite downy of the Otto:Aiwa
empire.
