TITS return of Mr. PIERROTINT frqm Sweden
gave rise to a report that a rupture was on the eve
Of taking place between this Country and-Sweden,

chants upon the - sUbjecet. ,:rhe 'following 'Letter,
however, which Was communicated to them frOnl
authority, tended toremove, thpir apprehensions

" The Swedish. Frigate (Freya) proceeds immediately
from Sheerriess to the Nore, where such Vessels as mean
_ _ _

.to avail themselves of her convoy are to assemble before Noon-
day next, on which day she will sail for Sweden. 1 have
thought it necessary to communicate
,this to you for your
own information ; and, in order that it may Iye made known
to all thine whom it may concern—you are nut to inter from
the sailing of this Frigate, that there is any apprehension of
a rupture ,between Great Britain and Sweden ; on the con-
trary, the two Countries haVe never been on better terms----
You will, therefore, be so good as to eontratt,:t every report
of an,opposite nature."

WE lire glad to find that the Writers of Opposi-
tion are,senaible,ofthe,impossibility of contradiainq
the assertion, titat•to the condn& of the ?att.,
seers, the tergiversation of Russia is to be trp.cod.—
They nu longer deny the (Ife(Yi, but employ them-
selves in vindicating the causes .which produced it.

It appears further, that Russia f‘ tsicuited; too .raise

by the late Ministers. This new fact Is gratuitously

vassing the question " on its own merits, without
regard to partieularMinisters."—lt is enough tor-us
that they wish for the adoption of this mode.
One of The Papers, adverting to the ridiculous
.charge ,of annoying Me Russian trade, says, that
this, at least, belongs to the PreSt'llt Ministers, Whir).
