FROM A CORRESPONDENT.

A few days ago we called public attention to the af-
fairs of Sweden, by publishing the translation of a very
able paper in the Reprisentant. In some of the good
times of English policy that paper would have been
looked upon as deeply interesting. In the slight consi-
deration which is bestowed in this country on matters
connected with Sweden, the approaching struggle is
altogether lost sight of. The possibility—nay, the pro-
bability—is, that when the struggle arrives, things will be
conducted after this fashion : —The question being whe-
ther a certain dynasty should, or should not, be supported
in a neighbouring state, the HOLY ALLIANCE will move
a powerful force upon those points which may
best serve to menace Sweden, and impress her people
with alarm. The south will push somebody towards the
north on this occasion—for the tide of legitimacy can
set in all directions. At a proper period, the intended
PRINCE will be sent to England. Thence he will be con-
veyed, in an English ship, to Sweden; and it will be im-
pressed upon the Swedes that it would be a great in-
civility—in fact a thing not to be thought of—to refuse
a man presenting himself under such auspices, and with
so good a guarantee. When did England cheat any
body ?—or send from her shores a man who was intended
to break his word ?—or who ever broke it ? Never ! The
thing is preposterous But of course, when the individual
arrives in Sweden, he will go the way of all legitimate
flesh : he will break every engagement. A part of the
Swedes will naturally resist ; and, if they fail, take refuge
in hospitable England. Shortly afterwards they will try
to gain possession of some point upon the Swedish coast
—for instance, Bornholm. At Bornholm they will be
fired upon by the English ; because, when you have sent
out a Prince to break his oaths with another nation, the
first rule of the law of nations is, that you shall fire upon
those who try to attack that Prince. It is part of the
vulgar principle, that he who has a right to do the origi-
nal act, has a right to do the secondary. The Swedes
will complain that you have overturned their Government;
and the English Ministry will reply that they only fired
to preserve their neutrality ! The poor Swedes will re-
present that your cannon-shot had nothing neutral in their
composition ; and the English Government will prove, by
vast majorities in Parliament, that they had nothing in
view but the good of those they fired at, and that they did
nothing but what they were obliged to do in order to
maintain the reputation of British neutrality throughout
the world ! This is the way in which the thing is to be
done. If any body thinks the contrary, he is at least
bound to show some reason for his opinion.
