on real Prim ch karts; that it would awake two).
lections dangerous to you—recollectiens of liberty
and glory."
On the charge of libellist, applied .to the Crown
Prince, by Donaparte or his scribes our author ob-
serves as follows:
o The Imperial Gazette-writer, or the Journalist-
Emperor, affirms, with unequalled impudence, that
the Prince Royal of Sweden for souse time past has
subscribed with his name, writings which deserve to
be characterised as libels, and that he employs merce-
nary authors for their. production. The Prince Royal,
however, has no oCcason to borrow the pen of any
man : he knows how to wield the pen as well as the
swot d ; and with both he has directed destructive
blows against you.
" Since Sweden entered the coalition, only a small
lium'ber of documents on the general affairs of Europe
have appeared with the signature of the Prince Royal.
The two letters to the Emperor Napoleon, inserted
in the Report of the Minister for. Foreign 4f fair:, on the
relations between Sweden and France ; the ProclaMation
to the Swedish army which defends the frontiers ;
that to the Combined Army of the North of Ger-
many,* thatio the Saxons ; together with the let-
ter to the Emperor Napoleon, of the 2sd of March,
1813, are, I believe, the only writings authentically
published underthe'name of his Royal Highness.
4. Instead of vague abuse, why don't you reprint
them. to the Manifests., accompanied with notes, to
persuade your. readers that they are really libels
You dare not ! There is, especially, in the letter of
!the 23d _of March, wherewithal to dispel all the im-
postures with which Bonaparte is surrounded. That
document forms an epoch in the annals of diplomacy.
IC is replete with great truths, delivered in a grand
Viand majestic mariner."
'6 It is useless here to remind the reader of all the
libels which Bonaparte has written, or caused to be
written, against the Sqvereigns of Europe. They are
deposited in, the, geeiteur and the other Parisian
Journals; for, ge nobody in France dares now-a-days
deliver an independent
.opinion on public affairs, we
may be sure that very thing of this sort, hazarded
by these journals,'is diCtated by the Government—
and the Government is. Bonaparte.. It is notorious,
that not only as Consul, but as Emperor, he has kept
Barrere' in pay—his old friend, and the orator of Res
hespierte—as the writer of his newspaper articles and
political' pamphlets."
Speaking of the discourses, the manifestoes, and the
bulletins of Bonaparte, it is justly 'observed, " l his
man is consummate in hypocrisy, while net the slave
of his passions. There is no name, however sacred,
beginning with those of GOD amid of PROVIDINC4
which he has not profaned, for the premotion of his
sinister ends ; no noble sentiment to which he has not
appealed ; no hope dux to humanity, with which he
has not sported.*

In the course of his observations on the career of
the Crown Prince, during the French revolution, and
after Bonaparte had assumed the supreme power, the
author relates the following anecdote : The Crown
Prince, then General Bernadotte, did not act against
the usurper, but he did not conceal his sentiments.—
Bonaparte feared him, and neglected no means of
disarming his opposition, and of preventing the true
friends of thew country trom rallying around, him.—
During one of those ceremonies which Bonaparte
stitoted, to habituate the French to the return of
monarchical forms, he observed with satisfaction to
General Bernadotte,- 4-Every thing reverts into the
old order of things,'• cYes, Citizen Consul,' replied
the latter,•4 every thing does revert; nothing is want-
ing theretabut a million of Frenchmen, who perished
for the cause of liberty"'

Bernadotte, like other French Generals, was deco-
rated With •titles under the new regime, and on this
topic, we extract the tollowing.ncute remark
4, Amidst this new formation of elevated ranks,
those which were appropriated to victorious captains
were almost those exclusively which had-within them
a principle of reality. In almost all Couniriesit was
the brilliance of martial exploits whfch founded the
first nobility. The French Generals were rewarded
for having served France ; others were so for having
become the docile instruments of the schemes of Bo-
naparte."

After passing a high encomium on the disinteres-
tedness, the urbanity, and moderation displayed by
the Crown Prince, during the campaigns of a twenty
years' war, which had generally assumed the charac-
ter of a gloomy violence, the author proceeds,, as
folio ws :

" You make A merit of not having retained the
rrince Royal in France, when he was invited to the 1
succession to the Swedish throne. No doubt, after
Laving usurped the sole disposal of the existence of
io man.y.millions of Frenchmen, whom you permit
3:either to think, act, write, speak, nor even breathe
freely, you might as well extend your claims thus far
also : alter other unheard-of vielences, you might
have practised this too. Why, then, don't you also
boast of not having caused the Prince Royal to be
assassinated at the moment of his departure ? We
know you wished to cause the destruction of Moreau,
I.)tit that you dared not. Perhaps, also, on second
thoughts, you deemed it less dangerous to have an
:antagovist without, than to raise up one within
'France, or to. push a man of energy to extremities."
,•• 13ut what indiscreet& of hypocrisy was it which
induced:you to reproach the Prince Royal for having
adapted the religion established in Sweden for three'
centuries past? Truly, the zealous Catholic most
feel highly edified ! • The reproach well becomes
you,. mouth, who were a renegado in Egypt; the im-
postor who wished to pass for a prophet of Mahomet
—the same man who, returned to France, affected
great zeal tor the re-establishment of Catholicism—
teho engaged the Sovereign Pontiff, by the hope of
restorieg peace to the Church, to sanction by his be-
nedictions your elevation to the throne ; who, in re-
turn, despoiled the venerable old man of all his
States, dragged him into captivity, where he still
groans; who were excommunicated, and are so still,
!Or the new concordat which you have dared to pub-
lish is only a new imposture. Bonaparte has, in turn,
flattered Mahometans, Catholics, Protestants, Jews,
even Philosophers, by proclaiming universal tole-
rance ; he has deceived them all ; and- whatever be
t!.e religious opinions of men, they must all agree in
abhorring one with whom religion has never been any
thing else but the mask of hypocrisy, and the engine
of his infernal policy.
6' The reproach of having robbed France of Gua-
daloupe does not affect the Prince Royal alone, but
