EX-KING OF SWEDEN.

" Many Journals having inserted articles con-
cerning Prince Gustavus, son of Gitsiavos Adol-
phus, the Eourth.(Gtistafsson), former King of
Sweden, it is necessary to explain what has been
said respecting this 'young Prince, and the public
ought Ito longer to be ig,iorant of all the unlaw-
ful and unjustifiable transactions of the last three
ye,rS.
" It i 3 tirntt to make known that secret in-
triglws were enyloyed to separate the Prince from
his father., to whom he owes not only the attach-
ment and respect that nature inspires us with for
our plartnits, but, moreover, a feeling of personal
gratitude toe/aids his fattier, who had made over
to him s acid plrt of the cwisiderahle property
devolved on hits trout his 'mutter of blessed
mot y, flit. defunct Quern of Swed,,n, and the re-
mainder of which he divided among his other
children.
Prince Gustavus's father, who id the year
1812 was separated from the queen. his Consort,
gave her, as the mother of his children, the most
unequivocal proof of his confidence by trusting to
her Majesty, not only the education of the Prin-
cesses, htit ale 4.11 Prince Gustas us also; however,
under thr,e conditions, viz. Ist, that their educa-
tion should he conformahli: to the religion in which
they were horn; 2d, to the rank they held in:the
world ; and 341, to the duties they may (Me day be
.called upon to Willi,
" The ateereafterwards received a new mark
of confidence from her former Consort, by his
giving up to her the administration of the airove-
mentioned inheritance, relinquished in favour of
his children, which was paid by &tie Swedish Go-
vernment, and placed at the disposal of her Nl.jesty.

" But from that moment she seemed resolved to
act absolutely contrary to the tenotir of conditions
prescribed to her, exactly in the same manner as
her son, who, agreeably to such, was otm his com-
ing of age (i. e. at seventeen) to present himself
tolmia father, ?.nd concert with him as to his fir tire
,destiny, hut refused .so doing at time time, declar,
ing himself incapable ; and rejected the impor-
tunities of • his father, his friend and benefactor.
Instigated by his royal mother, he persisted in
disobeying the repeated orders of his Sire, alleg-
ing as a reason that be had promised his mother,
upon his honour, not to leave her until he had at-
tained his t wenty-first year--a singular example
of a young Prince, who refusing his majority,
acts with the disobedience that a son might
more readily do if he were of age. It would
be revolting and contrary to nature, to charge
this once virtuous and so Aemlicot a son
entirely with such an offence ; it would be even
unjust to say, before it could be evidently proved,
that the Queen-Mother of this Prince had acted
only froM herself ; yet, it must be known, that
she betowed her confidence, and, still mote,
committed the charge and education of her sun,
with which she alone was entrusted, into the
hands of a Calvinist, of a republican, and strand,
ger ; who, moreoeer, possesses no acknowledged
title that could distinguish or recommend him
in any way for the situation of Prince Gastavus's
Governor.

" Let nobody allege the name of the fatnous
Laharpe, on the side of that of the Emperor
Alexander, to prove a paradox ; for Laharpe was
but Alexander's teacher, and not his governor.
Let no one abuse any more the name of the Em-
peror Alexander, by representing it in family
dissensions, as it cannot appear consonant with
the dignity that characterizes a great Sovereign.
" It has been said in the Gazettes lately, that
the Emperor of Russia bad appointed ('rinseGus-
tavus Governor of one of his provinces ; at an-
other time, that he was going to Eoghtild, with
the Emperor's permission, to finish his Studies,
and to be allowed by hint '2OOOl. sterling fur the
expenses of his removal, which would indicate
that the Prince had not a sufficiency to provide
for it himself.

" Let us, therefore, put a stop to so many
weakly grounded novelties, and endeavour, at
least, to develop the truth, and not believe it
impossible that the Emperor Alexander would
carry dissimulation so tar as not to give any ad-
vice at all to' Prince Gustavus's Nato of his good
intentions towards his son, while he is in painful
anxiety for the termination of the same son's dis-
obedience."

Basle, June 1, 1819.

The King of PausstA has recently met with an
ankward accident. Diverting himself in descend-
ing a Russian mountain (a pastime well known in
Paris), his Majesty's sledge was overturned, by
which he bruised his face, and broke the lower
part of are bride of his nose. The broken pieces
of bone, however, were immediately extracted,
and no serious consequences were anticipated,from
the circumstance.

We received this niorning the Paris Papers of
Wednesday last. In the Chamber of Deputies, on
Tuesday, the Marquess DEssoLtis, Minister for
Foreign Affairs, presented a projet for exchang-
ing the Crown Estates of Neuilly and Villiers
with the Duke of ORLEANS, for the buildings
litelouging to his Serene Highness at Yatis,
between the Louvre and the Thuil!tries, it be-
ing intended to unite those Palaces without
delay. The projet was ordered
.to he referred to
the Bureaux. The Chamber then resumed and
terminated the discussion on the Pindge: of the
Department 01 Marine and Colonies, which Was
agreed to, and commenced the discussion on the
Budget of the Ministry of Finance,. which was
adjourned till Wednesday.—Tbe following are
extracts :--

" PARES, JUNE 9.—The King transacted busi-
ness yesterday with the Marquess I.)ssollcs. His
Majesty had also a long conference with the
Cardinal (le Perigord.
" Some of the Journals have stated, that all the
English Officers at Paris had been recalled to
England. 'lbis report is totally destitute of
foundation.

" According to the last accounts from Arles,
the locusts, so fu from diminishing, continued
to increase ; no less than six hundred quintals of
them were destroyed, hut their eggs being depo-
sited on all sides, the new locusts have succeeded
those that perished.
" According to the Genoa Gazette, the Emperor
and Empress of Austria were tO piolong their stay',
at Naples till the Ist inst.
" France has at the present moment 246 ships
of war, including 4S ships of the line and 29 fri-
gates. There are now building 11 ships of the
line and 4 frigates.
" A person digging tip potatoes about three
weeks since at Nixeville (Meuse), found 4S gold
and o—silver coins, of Henry 2d, Chatles sth,
Francis Ist,' and the Princes of Burgundy and
Lorraine.

" CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 27.-The situation
of this capital is truly deplorable;. a revolt of the
troops, their sanguinary combats, set ions appre-
hensions of the plague, the streets deserted, and
the blood running in diTerent quarters. Such is
the afflicting picture that Constantinople at this
Moment presents. Yesterday the whole city was
in the most dreadful agitation, in consequence of
the sanguinary conflicts between the Janissaries
and .ilcumbaridschi. Cannon resounded in all
quarters, and numbers on both sidei were killed
and wounded.

" STOCKHOLM, MAY 25 is understood
that the King has addressed a Letter to the
Prince Regent of England,' in which he com-
plains, of the ascendancy assumed by the Great

tine, which was stationed last week in this port,
has retired to the Danish coast."

Ttie Fut.ips.—Ytstcrttay a;ternoon and this
morning the most unfavourable reports were

circulated with a view to depress the Stocks ; for
a time they had the desired effect, as Consols left
off yesterday at 656, and Uranium 14 discount.
They opened this morning, Consols 694, Umniutu
11- discount ; but the Contractor having made his
deposit of 'Orr cent. on the amount of the Loan
he holds, and the Subscribers haviag paid about
two-thirds of their deposits by twelve o'clock, the
deception was discovered, and Consols immediately 4
rose to 69, and Omniuw to tlis. The Con.rac-
tor then offered to 'advance any sums the (louse
wanted-, at 4 per cent. •

The Opposition %Writeis bestow high eu!ogiums
On the Speech of Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH on the
Foreign Enlistment Bill. We respect the learn-
ing., relents, and oratorical powers of the Honour-
able Member, IN( we consider his Speech as mut
eloquent compared with the his-

tot ical illustration and sound argun►ents of Alr.

us, that in reference to the interposition of France,
het kve'en its and 016 Ameri,'au Colonies, and did
language then held by the British Government kJ
consequenee, we bad repeatedly urged the same
ins:once and the same reasoning. Mr. CANNING,
however, threw out additional lights, and advanced
unanswerable arguments on the subject. He clearly
proved that we should desert our own formes'
reasoning, and imitate the conduct of France,
if we did not maintain a strict neutraiity
on the present occasion ; while the dignity wit!).
which he rejected the idea of profiting by ilia
Weakness of Spain, and the energy with which lie
pressed the propriety of not assisting her eneruiel,
on that very ground, place his ch3racter as high
in moral estimation, as it has always been held ja
point of political knowledge, acute sagacity, atw
gumentative, and splendid eloquence.

The recent Dinner at Carlton Hotise, to which
some ok_tlie higher-chs,acters of Opposition were
invited, and who of course accepted the invita'
Lion, seems to have given great uneasiness to The
Morning Chronicle, which, this day vents its spleen
against " the insidiousness and indecorum of Cita

rumours" to which that acceptance has given •oa-
casion. It is an old rerwirk, that "he who labours

hard to clear himself of a crime he is not chargell
with, renders himself saspectahie." Now, wes
sonless, that we have not heard of. -the rilnicmt* '
in question, but as far as we can guess from ti
mysterious agonies at The Chronicle, their tend.
ency is to iusiouve, that the Opposition Members

therefore, upon the Parliamentary authority of Mr•
TIRRNEY, has no reason to be offended at the
supposition dint any of the Party " was to be
expected to she w their liberality and taste" on the
occasion, to use the words of The Chronicle, upon
other motives 'though we can,►ot see much lib ralitaj
in their aceeptiog an invitation from the reigoing
