jesty the King of Sweden. I request, in consequence I that your Ex.
cellency winsend me back my passport's, of which intend to avail

Extract of a diipatch to the King from Baron de Lagerbjelke, Swedish
Minister at Paris, dated October 26, 1810 :
notwithstanding all the personal prejudices of which 1 had just
been the object, it would have been easy f 4.4 me to have prepared my-
self against a scene but little agreeable. The nature of my conferences
with the Duke ofCatiore; the precipitate departure of M. de Czerois.

ened on commercial accounts • the advantage gained in Portugal,
by which it was nodoubt intended to profit, t hear down the Eng-
lish on alt points at once; all these circumstances united, had given
me sufficient insight t 6 judge what the object of the audience would
be ; but 1 acknowledge, that 1 did not expect s.) violent an explosion.
1 had never beheld the Emperor in anger ; but he was so at this time,
to a point which surpasses all imagination.
I was introduced a little atter nine o'clock in tly, morning. I found

it, adding a complimeat.. Without m,king anv reply thereto, the
Emperor went 00. (Every break •in the Empeior's des nurse, will
sufficiently explain to your Majesty the nature of the. short replies
which I endeavoured to make 'in .the intervals). "t Oh; ho 1 Mon
