in:ives of the Swedish nation, that 1 address myse!t.
The King deigned to propose me as mccessor to 'the
throne ; you confirmed that choice by an elettion,
free and unanimous, and his Majesty this•darindis-
solubly binds the ties which already attach me. to
you. So many favours, such esteem and confidence,
impose on me the greatest obligations ; I feel them.
sensibly, and am firmly resolved to fulfil them. Bred
in camps, I bring you a'fronk and loyal soul, an ab-
solute devotedness to the King, my august father, an
ardent desire to do every thing for the happiness of
my new country;. with sUch intentions I hope to do
good.
" Sound policy, that, alone which the laws of Goa
authorise,must lAave for its basis justice and truth ;
such are the principles of the King : they shall also
be mine. 1 have beheld war close at hand ; I know
all its ravages ; there is no' conquest which can
console a country for the blood of its children shed
in a foreign land. I have seen the great Emperor
of the French, so often crowned with the laurels of
vi6nry, surrounded by his invincible armies, sigh
after the olive of peace. Yes, Gentlemen, peace is
alone the glorious objet of a wise and enlightened
Government ;- it is not the extent of a-state which
constitutes its force and independence ; it is its laws,
its industry, 'its.couunerce, and above all its national
spirit. Sweden; it is true, has sustained great losses;
but the honour of the Swedish name has 'not ,suf-
fered the least attaint. Let us submit, Gentlemen,
io'the deci•ees of P'iov.idence; and let us recoiled
that it, has left us a soil sufficient, to supply Our
'wants, and iron to defend it."
