Aasittlnoff, NAY 13.—The Swedish Government openly
follows in the track opened by the English for Commercial put,:
poses with the New, Statei of South America. Several adven-
tures are preparing in the Swedish ports for Colombia and Bra-
and Government is very well disposed to grant the corn-
Lacrce all the necessary protection. 'Some time has already
elapsed sigee a Swedish Agent set out for America, and the
narninatiP n,of.several Consuls for different American ports is
spoken of-as being very near at hand. The formal acknosvledg-
(4ol oribe. independence of therNew States does not meet with
