LONDON,
TI✓EDNESD.4Y, FEBRUARY 25, 1818.

The Paris Papers of Sunday last, which were
due this morning, have not come to hand.

The last intelligence from Sweden stares, that
" the cut-purse of the Empire' and the Rnle," has
succeeded the late Usurper, and 'has proclaimed
himself King of that Coueary ! !,! Mc Morning
Chronicle, which is always disposed to throw ri-
dicule upon legitimate Authority, in referring to
our objections to the intrusion of a low-born

Alien on the Government of an ancient nation,
said " this is a seasonable exposition-of the sen-
timents of a part, at least, of the British Cabi-
net." We trust, however, that our sentiments
on the subject are supported by the whole of the
British 'Cabinet, for having.restored the lawful
King of France to his Throne, it is impossible
that it should not he adverse to the eleva-
tion of an obtrusive Usurper. '' But," says The
Chronicle, " a nation is only disgraced by hav-
ing a :Sovereign forced upon them
.by foreign
Bayonet's." And was not the Ex-Serjeant Bur(4-
tv,knorTe forced upon Sweden by the (error of
French army, which frightened the late Dotard,
the DULC SULIURMANIA, WllO usurped the
throne of his Nephew, au& compelled hint to de-
nominate the Serjeant CROWN PRINCE ? Is it to
be supposed that though the late -King, as he
called himself, might usurp the throne himself,
he could voluntarily sub:ait to disgrace his family,
and insult the Swedish nation, by the appointment
of such a revolutionary upstart as his Successor ?
In fact, the timid Dotard *as ensnared by French
intrigue, and obliged to submit to the terrors of a
French army, and in effect therefore, as to the
Swedish. Nation, '' a Sovereign was forced upon-
them by foreign Bayonets." But what will The
Chroniclesay to the case of Norway,which this very
BERNADOTTE wrested from its lawful Sovereign,
contrary lathe wisitss of the People, who anxiously
cleiired to remain attached to Denmark; and ido-
lized the CrtowN l'articß of that Countty
" Great Wits have short memories ;" but as The
Chronicle has do such proverbial plea in its favour,
and is rather supported by the converse of the
proposition, it cannot have forgotten thi; glaring
act of unjust usurpation; and then what becomes
of its consistency when it attempts to justify Ow
elevation of a French Adventurer over an insulter(,
oppressed, and, we trust, an indignant People ?
But the Swedes ought to be left to themselves, on
this most important and interesting .opportunity,
to assert their own rights and vindicate their na-
tional character. No other Governracnt should
interfere ; and if any other should disgrace itself
by attempting to' t.ivet the chains thrown Oyer
Sweden by a Rev,4otiOnary Ruffian, it must take
the consequence of .supporting principles that may
finally lead to its own destroctinn.

Though. we yesterday inserted a comprehensive
abstract *of The Report of the Secret Committee
of tire House of Lords, yet as it is a National
Document, we deeM it our duty to give it this
day in its fid! P.trligtrtentary extent, It is so
complete an, exposition of the dangers that might
' have arisen -if Government and the AlogistracY
had not stopped the evil in due time, that none
hut the Factious and the Seditious, except infleed
fools and idiots, can
,blame Ministers for *the
Nil which theymeted on the occasion, or conceive
that they are not entitled to'the grmitude of all
well disposed people, .;A mongrel Paper of this
