Exiraa of a Letter, dated Etoc icliOlm, Mardi 17.
°'. You "You will pibbably have heard before now of the
i n H ..
L Revolutioere. The King arrivedin the city from
his country seat at Aga, at seven in the evening of
12th ; he slept in town. In the morning of the•

`. 12th, ,the Guar& Marched out of town, and the
c King and Royal Family were to join them on the
I 13th, in .order to proCeed tinitardi the itisurgentS.
On. the 13th, at twelve o'clock, the time appointed,
for the,carriages to be at the Palace, Major-General
lAcllercreutz, Colonel Jagerhorn, and others, went-to
the .King'S apartment, and Adlercreutz told the
1 King.that he must not depart. The King drew his
sword, and on their laying holdof his person,• he de-
fended himself bravely, and was on the point of. kll-
itig Adlercreutz. No soldiers were in the Palace,
because it was reported that the King had in the:
`night returned to Haga. In the nett room to ,that
where the King was, was a setvant'called a Chamber
Hazard oft he King, whose name is Selling. On hear-
ing the nbise in the room,' he wished to open the
door, but it was locked ; be then broke open the door,
and with his sabre in hand was going to cut . Adler-
creutz down, but theisabre was wrested from his
hand. In the mean time, the unfortunate Monarch,
Without hat or sword, ran down the so called Queen's
Stairs; there they followed him, and lie-tobk away
the sword. from Colonel Man, and cut the
-hand of one 'Count Snoilsky. He .defended him-
self a long time ; -but at. last, altnnsl fainting, they
carried him up to his room. He expressed, .at first,
i .attottiOtment at their conduct, and still kept say-
., itiptiettiples:arestid will everremain the
same. In the night he was carried out to Droning-
holm. On the lat it a great force of the cuirassiets
and artillery WEI; sent to Haga, where the Queen
and her Citildren were, and still are. Adlercreutz
was immediately appointed the Commander, Adiu-
tam-Generai, and field-;Marshal ; Count Klingspor,
Lord (.40vernor of Stockholm ; Baron 'Lagerielke,
Chancellor orthe Court. The former Lord Governor
of , Stockholm,' Count Ugglas, has lost - his place;
.every think is quiet here. A publication was issued ,
' 611 the I 3 th,. that ail taverns and public houses should
bti' lint: up precis4y, at nine o'clock in the evening;
at. ,the duty laid on by the King for carrying on the
w' was was taken off.• The regiment of the King's
Of., .' guard,'-which was disgraced in Finland, have
i,
reesiived their_ colours, and are re-instated in their
. taolc: The Queen and her children are pot allowed
I,o;tiee the King, and, in a word, no one is allowed
.4come near the' Castle, where a great number of
gnus 'are placed. A Diet is appointed for theist of
,May. The Duke of Sudermania, it is said, will keep.
-on friendly terms with England ; but I hardly think
Buonaparte will suffer it. Major Delagrange is sent
to Dentnetk, and from thence to Paris; Major Ar-
ivedson to St. Pettersburgh ; and a Messenger from
the Secretary of State's Office to England. I have
spoken to one of the persons who attended one day
on the King at Drottengholm ; he told me that the
King ate but little, and that he often went back-
' ward and forward, and clasped his hands together,
and lifted up his eyes, as if he were praying. Thus
this Monarch, adored in prosperity, is abandoned
by all. Gud kelp him !"

Sir FaANCts, BURDETT) in the speech which he
delis erect on Tuesday last in Westminster-hall, was
very severe in HIS comments on those Noblemen' and
Geetlemen who devote a great part of their time and
forttitie to agricultural pursuits, and expressed much
Shiprie that such at propensity should be so much
applauded; when they might, instead of attending
to cultivation and the improvement of cattle, to etn-
pley theibselves in political flatters. • ihe 'Baronet
'proceeded to observe, that if some General JUNOT
or Dike'Of ABHANTEe should beCome master of the
Country; these' Noblememmight perhaps still be al-
low,ed 'to follow their agrichltural experiments, that
he Might be übliged to them-for their diligence,'
and pl.:A.A•with the discoveries they Made, but that
t lip: kvotild most prebanly be-compelled to account
to tint for the pronts. Mr. Wrirtnue.in very pro-
perly opposed these opinninS, _anti teferring to the
late art present Duke. of liEnvoilb; and other dis-
tinguished characters, observed, that it was possible
for fecieto' bo'attentive to the political_ interests
. of
their Country, while they ;were anxious to promote
the- nopertant phrpose of agric9lture. But -It' is
somewhat strange that both Mr. WillTilltsAD and
.qtr litntEsiTT, while they adverted to
such subjt,:..,t,' did not retleCt upon the CQnSe-
IttenOs which might immediately hoa themselves,
if their- C:juntry should unhappily to the
protid foot of a conqueror.'' 'Can they suppose that

of jeatousy to a LsUctiessful invader, and that theyand
Men of heir description would be the first sacrifices.
This is not the time to give. countenance to 'hosts
principles which overtureed the legitimate monarchy
Of France, which have subverted
~so 'many ancient
G m overnenti. in Europe, and which have.'elevated
men to Thrones and Principalities who have no
outer claims to distiAtion than their total devotion
to a military D hose ambit leo would never be

homage to what was alleged to be the public senti-
ment; are so flute :initaole to the generosity of Ale
British charailca, that it is probable tew more of
them will take place. - Englishmen disdain to aid
an insulting triumph, and. are rather inclined to
booth than embitter the feelings of those who suffer
under,misfortune, whether" deserved or not. We
hope therefore that party spirit will submit to the
national seotiment, which is too liberal to approve of
such persevering hostility. . • ,
