THURSDAY, JVNE 17, 1813.

Last night, previous to another very long dis-
cussion on the East-India nesolotiOns -(for the
Company, out of compassion to Our ignorant mer-
chants, stick with most laudable tenacity to•the
losihg trade of India), further papers relative to,our
engagements with Sweden and Russia vtere laid
before both Houses, and are contained in another
part of this Paper. As these documents will come
under the consideration of Parliament to-morrow,
it may be allowed us to take a view, a priori, of
some of the Opposition reasoning on the subject.
It is unnecessary to premise, that the conduct of
Ministers, in concluding a Treaty with SWeden,
is most bitterly censured—it• would have been the
same thing.had they come to an agreement with
Denmark. It will, however, we imagine, not
he denied, that to accoMmodate the differ-
ent views of these
.States, so as. to l)iW them
together t,vithin the common bond of alliance,
was a wark. beyond the capacity of our
Rulers. All their efforts to 'unite Denmark. and
Sweden for the promotion of the interests of
&trope,. and the ia dividual advantages 1)1 their
-own subjects, htive been vaiu, tto:1 ben)re they are
blamed for this, it is incumbent on their acc,aSert4'
to show (though some of them make light of per:
forming, impossibirties) that the thing was within
the verge of poisihility. Ministers could not ac-
complish this de•;irableeeVeat, and they had, of
course, to make their Cleetion as to which power
they should conciliate,. and hi stating the question
thus, we concede much to their adversaries, for it
wonld not be difficult to prove that no eonces-
sions'would have made Denmark our friend. • But
supposing that they had the power of electiortythe
point at istie is,. did they or did they not,, act
wisely in preferring the alliance of-Sweden,: Let
us draw a parallel between the countries, and the
truth of the position, that Sweden, either in the
event of peace or war, is of infinitely greater value
ter' us than Denmark, Will appear itt a moment.
The dominions of Denmark are principally Con-
tinental, and being therefore at the tnerey- of
BUONAPAPTE, the King of thai. country is.not
free agent—he is, as he has been, • the tool of
France, and one of the steppingstones to. the
aggrandisement of the dynasty of
.:KAPOLEON.
Sweden`, (eXcePt 011 the si(leAf Fhtlanci where she-,
is safe,)like Britain, blessed.by.the circumference
of a protecting element, is independent, 01141 May
defy the menaces of the Tyrant. Deernark was
our enemy, and the enemy of Our Allies.. Sweden
we found in the closest onion with Russia, and
preparing to fight in resistance to the system aim-
ed at the vital interests of Brit*, into which
system Denna] k bad readily fallen. Miring the
last campaign Denmaik continued to be unfavour-
ably disposed to` the grand confederacy. Swe•
den, on the contrary, by taking an imposing atti-
tude, 'created a diversion in favour of Ressia, and
detained from adVuncing into that country.a Corps
of 30,000 Frcmchmen. ShOuld the effuirS. of Eu-
rope, be accommodated (which is far from pro,
buble), the friendship subsisting between this
country and Sweden will 1w productive of the nt-
most advantages 46 both, and it is the interests
of both to pursue the saute course of policy..—
Denmark could have no such mutual objects, de-
sires, or relations with weden earl, in Spite ~
of .BUONAPATITE, trade with usH-Denmark could
not. Through Sweden we. arc and shall be able
to pour the fruits of. our. ind=n3try; our manufac,
tures, and colonial produce, into the vast empire
of Russia, and thence into Cier;nany—Den-'
mark,. under the dread of •LouNAPAIVr:::, offers no
such facilities.— Frani impro.i;tg the coisdition
`of Sweden we have • nothing to, fen the richer
we make her; the more benefit. shall we de-
rive from the interchange 'of comModities and a
trade mutually tulvant;•tcous. The vaiii!rs against
Ministers talk as if all that Wa3 coutr:%ted to be
given to Sweden had been giveti, while she had not
fulfilled any part of the bargain on the Other side
and thence arguing on the candid suspicion that
the .Crown Prince is perfidious;'they arrive at the',
delightful conclusion, that 'our Government have
been betrayed into an absurd and injurious agree-
Now the fact appears to be.,, that Sweden

fought, Cinadalonpe is not snrrendered Norway.
