SWEDISH DECL,IRATION.

From the momenthis SWedish Majesty had de-
termined upon taking a part in the Coalition against
the usurpations of-NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, his Ma,
• jesty had fixed his attention upon the 'preservation
of the Elecloral Poisessions of the KING of ENG-
LAND upon the Continent, Which-bad been evacuated
by the French Trodps. Ready to enter than with
a Swedish and Russian Army, united under his or-
ders, his Majesty hastened, upon the first intelligence
,of the movement of a Prussian Corps towards that
Country, to inquire into the intentions' of his Prns,
sian. Majesty, and in full confidence to demand of
him, whether the march of his Troops had the same
object as that of the combined Army,. namely, that
of restoring the Electorate of Hanover to its legiti-
mate Possessor, azu in that case to concert with his
Prussian Majesty the joint measures to be taken. The
KING of P.sus,snt, from that period, evaded entering
into any explanation relative to this important objet`,
And that in mannerfar'fromfriendly. The irreso-
lution ;ince manifested by this Sovereign, in joining •
"the cause of tha Allies, could not but tend to mg-
tient his Majesty's Suspicion; and his Majesty did
not hesitate to anticipate events, in.causitig it to be
publicly made knoWn,, at a period when the inter=
tions "of the Cow t of Priissia with respect to the States
pf his Britannic Majesty could only be matter of Con-

jeaure, that the Country of Lauenburgh should still
remain under the prote&ion of the Swedish Troops;
until a Convention for that purpose was concluded
-i.vith the KING of ENqLAND It was the Bole right
of this Monarch only, as Proprietor of the Country,
to decide upon the future fate' of his ,Herpditary.
States~ every arrangement, therefore, relative there-
unto; between France and Prussia, .was inadmissible.

" It wAs, notwithstanding, upon this arrange-

ine-nt, that the KING of. PRUSSIA, in his Proelama-
'tion of January 27, which was published soon after,
endeavoured to assert his right to the complete oc-
cupation of the Eletiorate of Hanover. The reiter-
ated protestations made by the Court of Berlin on
this occasion; of being induced to take this, step
merely to save the Country from greater calamities,
ought to have been received asa guarantee for its
future independence. This language, however, did
riot last long ;_ instead of regarding the Eleaorate as
a depiit till the return of a General Peace, as his

Prussian 3,lajesty had solemnly announced in _the
.Proclamation -before cited, 'a new Proclamation,
issued,' from Berlin, dated Aptil 1, announced; on the
contrary, the definitive unio►, of these Provinces, to

the Prussian Monarchy ; a measure which the Court
of Berlin pretended was founded upon the right of
conquest, and a formal Treaty with France.
" In this state of things, the King, faithful to his
engagements with his Britannic Majesty, thought
he could not use too much circum-Speaion when the
abandoning of the German States of his Ally became
the subje& of consideration, which being once de-
livered from the presence of the SwedishTioops, must
soon have fallen under the power of the Prussians.
His Majesty, therefore, confining himself to- the pro-,
teaion of the Countries on-this side of the ,Elbe, on
his departuie from Ratzburgh, declarid, that hav-
ing left. in this Dutchy a Corps of Swedes, un-
der the orders of the Aid-de-Camp; General-
Commandont, Count 1/OWENHIEL)T, he should
look upon any attack upon these Troops, and
the independence of the Country, as a measure of
aggression against his own States. This Declaration

has been repeatedly made; and particularly in the

letter of•COunt LOWENIIIELM, a, to the
Prussian Military pornthandants in kianover; and
the Country of Mark. 'Count LOWENIIIELM said
expressly, that he had the stri&est orders' to defend
Lauenburgh against any Foreign Troops that should
attempt to enter it. Notivithstanding this,
belled Corps of Prussians passed that 14rontier at
Marienstadt, on the 23d of this month, and in spite
of the brave Tesistance of the Swedish Troops, by the
superiority of their numbers,' they took forcible pos-
session of the Country.

". Under the present circumstances the King could
not regard' this violent measure otherwise than as an
a& of hostility on the part of His Prussian Majesty ;
consequently he has ordered, an embargo to be laid
upon all the Prussian Vessels in the Swedish Ports.
If His Majesty has soilong delayed to resent
the outrages committed upon him and his Allies 43.
.the Court Of Berlin, it has arisen from His Majesty's
constant wish to avoid every thing that might lead to
a rupture as long a$ possible: The intimate connec-
tion subsisting,betwecn the KING of PRUSSIA and
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, the declared enemy of the
three allied Courts ; the exclusion of the English
commerce from ;the Ports and Rivers of the • North.
of Germany, together with the unjust authority.
established in the Electorate of Hanover—all these
were sufficient indications of the-real 'system' of his
said-Majesty ; and the attack which has been just
Made upon the Swedish Troops in Lauenburgh has,
put the last seal-to it.

" The Undersigned, specially charged by the King,
his master, to treat with the accredited Ministers of
the two allied Courts, has received his Majesty's ex-
press orders to expose the above-mentioned fads, in
order to enlighten the public Opinion upon .the pre-
sent situation of affairs betwetn the Courts of Stock=
holm and Berlin.

" Count DE FERSEN,.Grand Marshal of Sveden."
