OF THE TRUE INTERESTS OF SWEDEN. AND THF.
NECES‘zITY THAT SHE SHOULD RETURN TO HER

LZGITIMATE SOVEREIGNS

BY M. LE .CHEVALIER. D** DE ST" A** .j

pitnty, laid a criminal hand on him who hail not
ceased to load them with benefits; a prison be-
.roMe the asylnin of the ilinstrioas son of the great

Ciistavns.
Enr(Te has been deceived as to the cause and
efr,..cts of the Readation Of 1809, ih Sweden ;
the..,secrrt movers were interested to keep it in the
sllade. Uet ns tear the veil which has hidden 'it

frtnr. all eves,
Gtvoavos Adolphus owes his misfortunes solely
to the relieions observance which he had- pre-
scribed to himselt", of the principles which had
k!etermined the Treaty of Piluitz. Ile had per-
:trivet! that the cause of. the Bottelton;; was the
vaose of all,Sovereigns, nod not being able alone
to delend'it, he had at least refused to introduce
in his States the Contioerwil System, which had
for ()bier!' to consolidate the power of the
Ustr.ner.
So noble a character was dangerous to hint who
Tom sworn the destruction of all thrones, and the
renovation of all dynasties. lie had recourse to
vorrnotion, and soon a spark of the revolutionary
fire 1 gilled up a horrible Conflagration through
all Sweden. Admiral Cranstedt—the ungrateful
Cranstedt quitting the line of his .deity, forget-
ting what he owed to the Memory of Ins hene-
factor, Gustavus 111. put into the hands of the
]tu(sian Generals the fine and imposing fortress
of -Syeabourg, the rampart of the kingdom (1).
This unexpected event produced a great sensa-
all_Siveden ; minds were disturbed ; the
ill-disposed inspired a certain distrust into the
most generous souls ; and in spite of the wise
dispositions of the King—in spite of the con-
stao cy and coorage_with which he struggled against
the united cfforts of Russia and Denmark, all his
o'perations were calttmoiated.
After enure months of a difEcult government,
Custlivus Adolphus saw the sacred oaths which
,
.united his army of Norway, broken. Alta.l:,oly
the regiments of his guards, forgetting- what they
owed to their rennWn, had lied hOlfor the ehelltiCS
of their King. Licuteratit-Colonel Adlesparre,
-.fast raised the standard of revolt ; at the head of
:A:3;9 men he marched to the capital----a handful of
malcotoents. the scum of the people raised cries
of joy at this news, and swore to overthrow the
Throne. The 13th of March, 1809, at the mo.
whet, the Icing, who had reached Stock_
,bolm .the evening before, was about to recal the
brave soldiers. whom crime had misled, to their
ditty—he saw in his apartments his own staff lay
raki,:al hands Ott hiS" august person : it was in
yain he drew his s'vord to punish treason ; he was
disarmed by numbers. 1 o thlfi extremity., the
intrepid son of Gustavus 111. hireaking from •the
hands of his assassins.
,seized the Sword of Ge-
neral Stormfeldt„who had entered with the crowd,
but it was• Soon snatched from his hands. Sbon
!e-anintated,by a sopernatural force, the King
;again
.seizul the weapon which hail been ilk=

!toms of the apartment which had not been
pbseryed by the factiops. Ile would have
succeeded, and virtue• would have trittninhed

The first did not dare:tolitt his hand against his
miocr„ but the second. who was large and robust,
after having warded with his lett hand, the thrust
'which ‘vcittld hare rakers his life, seized his King,
and held hint fist grasped, till the moment when

claim as legitimate heir to the throne, a young
Prince born amongst them, and whom so noisy .

are not, perhaps, absolutely strangers to the fall
of Gustavus IV. and the accusation of their con-
science alone produced in them the desire to expel
from the palace of Stockholm the silent witness of
their crime, the latitaer of their'comitry.
•Ssi edes arise t_ 'tally complain of your jost af-
flictiou while it is-Yet tune ; tear the act of abdi-
cation which grief wrung front the hands Of your
Bing, pronoonce the oath of a new alliance, 'mid
heroine again what you Nrer e under a Government
essentially just and paternal.'
'You do not, nor will ever know all the outrages
which viSue Kint antlered in the Castles of Droo _
nisigkolin and f.;sipsholot ; there is a hind of tor-
sore for feclieg minds iahove all human still, ring :
Sil!Vesoasag: and his dreadfUl iig:nts knew all its
theory ; and he who reigned. over you twenty
wears for yosir liappintes, drank large di aughts in
the cup of :giiet. The germ of Revolutions is
' amongst you ; a fortunate soldier reposes on the
traces of-the throne—once a declared enemy of all
'Sovereigns, he now aspires-to reign ; resnember
that be cannot establish his rile amongst you but
in the midst of blood and carnage; however mode-
rate Ire turfy be, the pride of your Barons can ot-
ver forget the Obscurity of his birth ; the Sove-
rt igns of, Europe, will never bestow ma, him that
degree oleonsideratiou which belongs by so mail
titles to your legitimate Kings. Europe will ne-
ver lose the recollection that he wits the apostle of
dethocratical principles : Christianity will not be-
lieve his oaths who made-his faith bend before the
hope of possessing a throne.
It is iii vain. that he has made himself itlastrious
by his sword ; it is in vain' that he trittinphed iii
your ranks ; it is in vainothat be has aggrandised
your territory by treaties ; the greater he is, the
more magnanimous he should spew him,elt ; let
him be the first Captain of the armies of his legi-
timate Sovereign ; let hint become the friend, the
most zealous defender of Gustavus Adolphus,
these will be rewards worthy of his anibition.—.
But if resting his rights nit the.r-ebellion .of the
minority of the States, he consent to remain
among yon the brand of civil discord ; if he
aspire to seize the sceptre of the Vasa ; if he af-
flict his King eveo in his dearest affections ; if he
pursue hint in every place, Of refuge ;' if he seize
the goods which have falleu to him by the death
of his august mother ; if be pay foreign journal-
ists to pour on all Isis actions, the poison of cm-
hnny ; if he stifle the emulation of the young
Prince Gostarns,' at the nit:anent he springs for-
ward into public life, at the amine:lt when he is
about to prove that he is the descendant of heroes,
_his conduct is atrocious, the imulous work of per-
fidious counsellors.
Swedes, listen to the voice of honour ; become
again in the eyes of all nations, what you were at
tl:e end of the last century. ; imitate the example
of France. Ali ! we, aiso had seen the throne of
the lilies °vet sureed ; we saw a sacrilegious hand
Ltill on our !tines. We saw a Foreign Barbarian
establish over our sons a dreadful domitration ; he
had also; this Foreigner, done great things. He
had decttplcd our territory ; he hadspread throueh
all the earth tie glory of the French name,—
Happy, if instead of aspiring to the first rank, he
had shewn himself a faithful subject ;-.he would
not now be wandering over the face of the waves
to seek an asylum, which might take him from
the just. fury of the people whom be haS ravaged,
and the, Sovereigns whom be has debased.
He has fallen—this proud ruler has fallen in an
eternal fall ; and the son of St. Louis at last
conies to dry our tears, and heal the wounds of
, our hearts.

In effect, can the Allied Monarchs, rdter havirg

adopted the principle of" the legitimity of SOve-
reigns, in the order of ?lit:cession to the throne,
leave Marshal Bernadotte in Sweden After
having united their efforts by the most .holy of
crusades, to stifle the hydra of Revolutions, will
they suffer a new Revolution to 'germinate in a
comer of butope ? This cannot be expected.—

Let tic leave to Asia the sudden spectacle of
those military expeditions, which make the sworll
tlie.only title to; the Throne. Holland, Spain,
Westpl;alia, Sicily,. Italy, and France have seen
Aetz; men reigning over them ; all these States are
now replaced' under the tutelary sceptre of their
Kings. Sweden
.alone offers the spectacle of a
motley..poliey.; it alone is in open opposition
with tile European system, to say nothing more
of it.. it meditate
.on its position, it will soon
perceive that there is an absolute necessity of re-
turning to its legitimate Sovereigns ; no irresolu-
tion, and above all, let it not wait till the Allied
Princes command the Marshal Bert4dotte to retire
into the class* citizens. Imasion and Civil war
may. be the consequence of the desperation
,of the
guilty faction ; it is thus that it would he true to
inaintain that convulsions are always fatal
and disastrous to nations, and that the late eter-s
nal laws of order are not violated with impunity.'
