DE.C'LARATION OF SWEDEN.-

" WE, Gusr.ti,tis ADorrznkTs, by the Ci.ace of.
God King of Sweden, the. Goths , and :Vandal,
Heir Of, tentilark and Not way, Duke of Sle.s•A ig
and HolStein, &c. &.-c. declare, and ...make known;
that when We entered upon the Goverunient of otii-•
KingdoM,.• the unfortunate Frenck,Revolution
_had
,prevailed for:some years, while the, ,most sangut-
naryand-unheard-Of scenes which had been there
„perpetrated, had spread distord, instirreaton, 'and
war,
.over the,...greatest pFrOf -.Europe. "During
the. nine"succeeding , Years, the French Revolution
never ceased to threaten an interruption of the
general tranquillity, •and to excite the attention of
every Country-c.: -Trusting .'in the fidelity-of the:
S Wed ish ;Nation, and favoured :by . its distances from.
France,- we witnessed, without alarm, the Anions,
•zeal of the fiialrOxiS; and their t3;ratitiy over a divided
State, persuading, :Our,rlVes, that the experience
'Of 'these great , produced: by • dissention•
and oligarehy,
„might at length be the means of
restoring order, and an equitable , government,
for the security Or the. French people, and other'
'States. . This pleasing hope was not fulfilled : the .
Gdvernment *as indeed frequently changed ; but
the • fundamentSl principles; so 'dangerous to, all
Europe; still' remained unaltered. They Were 'not
only retained under the Consular, GOVernMent, but
•
in propoftion as power came into. the hands-of the
First Consul, his ideas of law and. justice were di-
minished : every thing was. now sacrificed to that-
ambition which . usurped: an authority. over the
rights of nations and . treaties, and even Over that
respe3 which gall Governments wish to preserve for
themselves'. The blood of one of the worthy de-
scendants of the ancient and honourable family of
France Was not. long since shed by the hand of vio-
Tence. This shocking circumstance was- not only a
specithen of the ideas which the French Govern-
ment entertained of law and equity, butalsO a..,most
disgusting piCture of the .system it had adopted ; •
,and, in every .respeta, affording a signal warning
to all dovernments.. While this encroachment
furnished the great States ;with such a view as
enabled them to draw the-..most genuine conclu-
,sions respe6ting the irresistible potter of France,
.the smaller StateS were converted into provinces, .
by violence or intrigue ; and the danger appeared
not less general, than overwhelming, as it seemed
that security against these menaces vas no longer
tobe found: in,,any- distance „from- the scenes of
.• .

The most justifiable claims, made by us upon
the French Government, were fruitless, in obtain-
ing indemnities for the demands made by several of
our subjeEts, respeAing unlawful captures, arbi-
trary freightage, and an- illegal- embargo—as the
lawless proceedings of the French, Goyernment
were carried to such a- pitch,,
_as to lay the Swedish
commerce under 'considerable ernbarrastnent in the
French ports, during the space of nine- months.
Stich proceedings, could. of ly:increase the apprehen-
sions entertained of this dangerous conduct; and ex-
cite, as it dotibtless has in every
,loyal Swede, a wish
for the organization of an adequate counterpoise
against a Power which had so rashly committed itself
in lts.endeavours to obtain a §uperiority, and availed
itself of every unjust means to, obtain the end pro-
tosed •

But as no State was powerful enough to escape
the effe&s of these praaices, we hoped, that the
general experience of these outrages would finally
unite, and concur in . their- efforts to remove this
common nuisance, and effeaually to resist that
',Power, the object of which was, by degrees, to
subjugate all others.
". This period has at- length arrived, and the
greatest Powers in Europe have _taken the field, to
support their own dignity and independence. We
have United ourselves with them in every worthy
.and friendly conneetion, and, for the purpose of
sharing in all undertakings, have drawn closer'the
ties o?aniity; and we hope, with the assistance of
Providence, to contribute to the restoration of the
general tranquillity. With this view, we hay now
passed over, with.a part, of our Army, to P-omerania,
there to unite our power with the Russian forces ;
mad, further, to as with .energy in -such a manner
as circumstances may require. '

" In -consequence of this laudable and weighty
determination, we fully expea to be accompanied. by
the_ blessings and-prayers.of ourfaithful subje&s, as
it is ;Our purpose to contend for the future inde,
-ptbdence and the honour of the Swedish name.
And Since it has, been our'care; that, during our
absence, ,the administration of public affairs should
be preserVed, and. carried -.on .without obstruction,
'in its usual cour§e, we have graciously thought
proper to establigh.a Re.gency,..and to nominate arid
appoint, as,l'oleinbers of the same, the Swedish Ba-
ron WRANGLE4::BaiIiff of the. Empire.; President,
&c. ,Bz.c„:s Count CHARLES, AXEL, Major-Gene-
ral, &e: ; Count SAMUEL UGLA,S, Lieutenant-Ge-
neral, and inspeCtor of the Cavalry; Rce..;. Baron

ceyy, and Conatriandant cif the °rider of the North-
ern Star BarPll FEEDERICK WILLIOX EHREN-
IrztNi, our Chancellor of, the Court ; arid our Ad-
jutant-Generals of the Fleets and Armies.

Our ..gracious will .and pleasure; therefore, is,
that all our loving subjeels and faithful servants,
of high and low degree, shall yield the.same obe-
dience and obseqnionsnest :to the Regency appointed
In cur Royal Name,

all whom it may concern are commanded td con-
fOrili themselves ;. and for .the better security of the
same, we have with our own hand, signed this pre-
