DICLARATION OF lIWZDEN.
" We, Guftavus Adolphus, by the Grace of CON
King of Sweden, the Goths and Vandals, Heir of
Denmark and Norway, Duke of Slcfwig and Hol-
llein, &c. kc. declare, and make known, that when
we entered upon the Government of our Kingdom.
the unfortunate French Revolution had prevailed for
fame years, while the molt fanguinary and unheard
of fcenes which had been there perpetrated, had
fprsad difcord, infurragion, and war, over the great-
eft part of Europe. During the woe (weeding
years. the French Revolution never tufa to threa-
ten an interruption of the general tranquillity. and
to excite the attention of every country. Trolling is
the fidelity of the Swedills nation, and favoured by
its diftance from France, we witncffed, without alarm',
the furious zeal of the rations, and their tyranny
over a divided Rate, perfuading ourfelves, that the
experience of there great calamities, produced by
dillinfion and oligarchy, might at length be the
means of refloring order, and an equitable govern-
ment, for the fecurity of the French people, and oche(
Rates. This pleating hope was not fulfilled; the go-
vernment was indeed frequently changed ,• but the
fundamental principles, to dangerous to all Europe,
Rill remained unaltered. They were not only re-
tained under the Confular Government, but in pro-
portion as power came into the hands of the Fir&
Conful, his ideas of law and jultice were diminifbed
every thing was now facrificed to that ambition,
which ufurped an authority over the rights of na-
tions and treaties, and even over that refpee which
all Governments wills to preferve for theinfelves,
The blood of one of the worthy defendants of the
ancient and honourable family of France was not
long fine filed by the hand of violence. This fhock-
ing circumftance wet not only a fpecimen of the
idea which the French Government entertained of

law and equity, but alto a molt difgulling pidure of
the fyftem it had adopted ; and, in every Tepee. af-
fording a fignal warning to all Governments. While
this encroachment furnilled the great Rates with fuck
a view, as enabled them to draw the molt genuine
conclufions refpeding the irrefiftible power of Frances
the (mailer Lite. were converted into provinces, by
violence or intrigue ; and the danger appeared not
left general than overwhelming, as it feerned that fe-
entity againft theft menaces was no longer to be
found in any diftance from the fcenes of anion.
4' The molt juftifiable claims, made by us upon the
French Government, were fruitlefs, in obtaining in-
demnities for the demands made by (everal of oar '
fubjeds, relpetting unlawful captures, arbitrary
freightage, and an illegal embargo—as the lawlefs
proceedings of the French Government were carried .
to fuch a pitch, as to lay the Swedifh commerce un-
der confiderable embarraffment in the French ports.
during the (pace of nine months. Such proceedings
could only increafe the apprehenfions entertained of
this dangerous condud, and excite, alit doubtlefs has
in every loyal Swede, a with for the organization of
an adequate counterpoife againft a power which had
fo rafbly committed 'deli* in its endeavours to obtain
a fuperiority, and availed itfelf of every unjuft means
to obtain the end propofed.
44 But as no (late was powerful enough to efcape
the effetds of there pradices, we hoped that the gene-
ral experience of theft outrages, would finally unite,
and concur in their efforts to remove this common
nuifance, and effeftually to refift that power the &-
jai of which was, by degrees, to fubjugate all others.
"This period has at length arrived. and the graft&
powers in Europe have taken the field, to fupport
their own dignity and independence. We have united
ourfelves with them in every *earthy and friendly
conneftion, and, for the purpofe of 'haring
.in all
undertakings, have drawn clofer the ties of amity ;
and we hope, with the affinance of Paovietsce, to
contribute to the reftorati on of the general tranquil.
lity. With this view, we have now patted over, with
a part of our army, to Pomerania, there to unite our
power with the Ruffian forces; and, further, to aft
with energy in filch a manner as circumftances may
require.
4. In confequence of this laudable and weighty de-
termination, we fully Gaped to be accompanied by
the bleffings and prayers of our faithful fub)efts, as
it is our purpofe to contend for the future indepen-
dence, and the honour of the Swedifh name. And
(ince it has been our care, that, during our abfence,
the adminifiration of public affairs (hould be prefers.
ed, and carried on without obliruftion, in its ufual
cantle, we have gracioully thought proper to eftablifh
a Regency, and to nominate and appoint, as Mem-
bers of the fame.. the Swedifh Baron Wrangle, Bai-
liff of the Empire, Prefident, &c. Sm.; Count Chatles
Axel, Major General, &c. ; Count Samuel 'Vas,
Lieutenant General, and Infpedor of the Cavalry.
&c.; Baron Brock Cedes-Mom, Prefident of our
Chancery, and Commandant of the Order of the
Northern Star; Baton Frederick William Ehren-
, helm, our Chancellor of the Court; and our Adju-
r I Cant Generals of the Fleets and Armies.

" Our gracious will and pleafure, therefore. is,
that all our loving ftshjeas and faithful (secants, of
high and low elegise, !hall yield the fame obedience
and obfequioufnefs to the Regency appointed in our
Royal Name, as to outfelves. To this end, all whom
it may concern are commanded to conform them.
(elves ; and for the better fecurity of the fame, we
have, with our own hand, figned this prefect, and
verified it with our Royal Stal.
