SWEDISH DECLARATION.

From the moment hi. Swediffi Majefty had determined upon
taking a part In the coalition againft the ufurpations of Napoleon
Bonaparte, his Majelty had Seed his attention upon the preferva-
atm of the Electoral polfrffions of tire King of England upon the
Continent, which bad been evacuated by the French troops
Ready to enter them with a Swedifh and Ruffian army, united un-
der his orders, his Majelty haßened, upon the firft intelligence of
the movement of a Pruffun corps towards that country, to en-
quire Into the intentions of his Prulßan Makity, and in full con.
Adence to demand of him, whether the march of bis troops had
the fame objea as that of the combined army, namely, that of re-
acting the Electorate of Hanover to Its legitimate poffeffor, and
In that cafe to concert with his Pruffian Mainly the joint meafurcs
to be taken. The King of Pruffia, from that period, evaded en-
tering into any explanation relative to this important oiled, and
that in a manner far from friendly. The irrefolution finer mani-
felled bf this Sovereign, in joining the cattle of the Miles, could
not but tend to augment his Majelty's fulpizion ; and his Majeity
did not helitate to anticipate events, in canting it to be publicly
made known, at a period when the intentions of the Court of
PrufSa, with refpeift to the States of his Britannic Majeity, could
only be matter of conjedure, that the country of Lauenburg
ilhould RIB remain under the protcalon of Swedina troops, until
a convention for that purpofe was concluded with the King of
England. It was the foie right of this Monarch only, as prop►inor
of the country, to decide upon the future fate of his hereditary
Rates: every arrangement, therefore, relative thereunto, between
France and ?ruffle, was inadmiffible.

0 It was, notwithitanding, upon this arrangement, that the King
of Prurta, in his proclamation of January ay, which was pub.
tithed loon after, endeavoured to affert his right to the complete oc-
cupation of the Eledorate of Hanover. The reiterated protella.
dons made by the Court of Berlin on this oecafion, of being in-
ducal to take this step merely to fare that country from greater
esiernitles, ought to have been received as a guarantee for it future
independence. This language, however, did not hit long: initead
of regarding the Eledtorate as a depot till the return of a general
peace, as his Penman Majefty had foleninly announced in the pro-
clamation before cited, a new proclamation, 'Surd from Berlin,
dated April 1, annouoeed, on the contrary, the definitive union
of there provinces to the Proffian Monarchy ; a mature which
the Court of Berlin pretended was founded upon the right of coy
qucit, and a formal treaty with France.
In this Itate of things the King, faithful to his engagements
with his Britannic Majesty, thought he could nut oft too much
cireumfpcdtion when the abandoning of the German States of his
ally became the fulled of confideratlon, which being once deli-
vered from the pretence of the Swediftt troops, mull Coon have
fallen under the power of the Pt %Alien.. His Majefty, therefore
confining himfelf to the protedion of the countries on this fide of
the Elbe, on his departure front Ratzeburg, declared, that having
left in this duchy a corps of Swedes, under the orders of the aid-
de-camp, General Commandant, Count Lowenhichn, he Ihould
look upon any attack upon there troops, and the independence of
the country, as a meafure of aggreffion againft his own States
This declaration has been repeatedly made, end particularly in the
letter of Count Lowenheihn, dated April s 3, totbe Pruffian Mili-
tary Commandants in Hanover, and the country of Mark
Count Lowenheilm faid exprefsly that he had the ftrieteft orders
to defend Lauenburg againft any foreign troops that Mould attempt
to enter it. Notwithflanding this, a detached corps of Peen! ens

periority of their soothers, they took forcible poffiffion of the

" Under the prefent etretunitanees, the King coold not regard
this 'Went mature othenvile than as an adt of tuatllity on the
put of his Prulian fifakfty; malignantly lataa ordered an ems-
buy) to be laid upon al/ the Perdition vetch in tberiUdifir ports.
" If his Maiefty has fo long delayed to refeot the outrages com-
mitted upon him and his Allies by the Court of Bann, it has
atifen from hls hiajtity's conaant wllk to avoid every thing that
might lead to a rupture as long u potable. The intimate connec-
tion fubfiiting between the King of Profile and Napoleon Bona-
parte, the declared enemy of the arm &lard Cater, the exelullon
of the BAP& commerce from the ports and rivers cribs North of
Germany, together with the unjult authority eftabillbed In the
Ekdlarate of Hanover—all there were (Aldan indications of
the real fyftem of hk laid Majefty ; and the attack which has barn
jun made upon the Swedifh troops in Lauenburgh has put the
keel to it.

• The under fined, fpecially charged by the King, his make,
to treat with the accredited Mini Hers of the two allied Carom,
has received hia Majeftes exprefs orders to expok the above men-
tioned fads, in order to enlighten the public opinion upon the pre-

A very melancholy and fatal accident occurred at
Brighton on Monday afternoon. As Lieutenant
WEIAYSS, of the tft Dragoon Guards, Rationed in
that town and barracks, was taking an ailing on
horfeback, in company with another officer, his horfe
fuddenly took fright, and ran off with him. The
terrified animal, after galloping for Come diftance
with increafing fury and fpeed, was making towards
a gate, of no common height, evidently with the in.
tention of attempting the leap, when, to avoid the
(hock, his rider threw himfelf from the Caddie. The
Lieutenant was taken up infenfible ; but, on chirur.
gical alliance being procured, he prefently reco-
vered his reafon, and, as the fkull was not fraelured,
no apprehenfions were entertained. The accident
happened about two o'clock, and not until nearly
four hours fubfequently did any fymptoms appear of
the brain having received any violent concuftion. He
expired at nine o'clock in the evening. The head of
the deceafed was opened on Tuefday, when feve•
ral of the (mallet veffels on the brain were found to
have been ruptured, from which the blood had gra.
dually oozed, and occafioned his death.
