SWEDEN.
SPEECH OF THE ICING OF SWEDEN 04 THE cLos,
ING OF THE DIET, DECEMEEE 4R.
Though the fundamental compact Specifies only fotir
months for your being assembled, I have thought it tpy
duty to, field to your wishes, and to permit the conti-
nuance of your Sittingi for seven months more. Viewed
politically, much purprise might, perhaps, be on List
sight expressed at the length of tltis Session; but expe-
rience Offacts, and thehabit of considering great
are frequently wanting amidst the various interests
which belong to the social state of man. Conjunctures
also excreike a partictilar influence beyond every calcu-
lation and combination, and events, ss hich are some-
times the result of accident or of certain unforeseen
causes, deceive the efforts of the most consummate pru-
dence. If you have not on this occasion satisfied all
hopes, you have prepared for the ensiling Diet the
nv_•ans of establishing a financial amelioration, clainied
by all classes.
Liberty, in furnishing to man the knowledge of the
dignity of his being, has conferred on him the strength
and the resignation which are necessary for supporting
with patience the vicissitudes of life. But liberty soon
Clisapllears when Government is not invested wits an
authority of sufficient magnitude to preserve for the
people that which the people have acquired.
You have beheld the events by which the most flou-
rishing countries of Europe have been afflicted. When
states are convulsed, the
_people are in the end the
greatest sufferers. .This conviction ought to induce us
never to lose sight of the public 'welfare and tranquil-.•
lily. The first benefit which the people have 4 tight to
require of us is internal repoiei to obtain which the
Public vice calls upon us to execute, without
.distinc-
tion,•the laws which form the safeguard of the nation.
We experience the happy itiflueuce of an almost in-
sular position. If, however, the laws which govern us
have not acquired all the perfection which could be de-
sired, the Changes to be made must be the work of time.
To endeavour to accomplish those changes hastily,
would be to put to-hazard all present adrautages, apd
the finest bopeaCoy the futute. T.e precipitate the

Mal progress which belongs to the genius of our insti-
tutions, would be to expose them to those catastrophes of
which the present age has furnished striking examples.
I have followed the same circumspect system in the
application of ou'r reciprocal duties, and I have consi-,
tiered myself bound to refuse all partial interpretation
of our fundamental laws. Wishing only to retain my
legal powers witlmut any encroachment on yours, I
shall be always ready to enter into concert with you on
everything capable of giving greater clearness to our
compact, and thus leading us successively to atigiftent the
public prosperity in a perfectly united and solid manner.
Our exportation has been very active, and the balance
of commerce for this and the preceding years was to
our advantage. 'I he harvests have been abundant, and
yet the agriculturist is embarrassed. He will continue.
so to be until a new system of landed securities shall
place him in a more fixed situation than that in which'
he now stands. If the hope which I entertain of seeing
his situation improved be not realized, I shall again as-
semble around me the States-General, in order to pi 0-
pose to them measures, the efficacy of which cannot be
doubtful except with respect to persons whose relief is
not within the compass of our influence.
The Committee appointed to draw up the Ci.il Code
have terminated their labours. That code is submitted
to me and my councillhrs' examination. It will be pre-
sented to yoft next Session, with the ameliorations or
modifications which I may consider-proper to be intro-
duced into the-plan. The code of crimes and punish-
ments is also the subject of Iny solicitude. Its plan
will be characterized-by a regard to individual security
and public safety.
The sums which you have placed at my disposal for
the completion of the great works of the Canal of
Gotha, and for other enterprises of general interest,
appear to be sufficient, and i hope to be able to fulfil
your expectation an:l mine.
The improvement of the administration shews itself
in so evident a manner, that it is impossible for the ob-
server, of even the least penetration, not to recognize
its progress. Happy the nations which are thus enabled,
in the, bosom of public peace, to advance their well-
being and simplify their institutions. .
The systenrut neutrality which my Government has
traced out for itself, with respect to all affairs which do
not immediately and essentially affect the existence of
the two kingdoms, assures us that our neutrality will
continue to be respected. Nothing shall be neglected
• on our pair to prolong its duration. The relations of
amity which exist with all the Powers of Europe are
the augury of that durable peace which forms the ob-
ject of our wishes.
I thank you, Gentlemen, for the numerous 'proofs of
affection
.and devotion which you have given to me,
and to all the members of my family. I regret that the
breaking up of the Diet, joined to the bad season, should
have presented an obstacle to the execution of the wish
you manifested for the coronation of the Queen, my
spouse. That wish shall be satisfied on the next meet-
ing-of the States-Gerieral.
On your return to your homes and to the bosoms of
your families, endeavour to strengthen public peace and
union. Be fiiends, be Swedes. Let that proud name
remind you, that constancy is the greatest of all pow ers;
but that weakness and discord, by destroying States,
undermine the freedom olniankind.
I repeat to you, Gentlemen, the assurances of my good
wishes and Royal sentiments.

THE GREEKS-LORD BYRON.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
CORFU, DECEMBER T.

You will be happy to hear that Corinth has at length
fallen positively, and is now garrisoned by the Greek
A naval victory has also been gained by them in the,
sicinity of Vohi, in v.hich they have taken a corvette,
a brig, and four transport,. We had 'a Greek brig be-
longing to the squadron that obtained the victory, at
Corfu two days since: she had been up the Gulph, ex-
pecting to find a Turkish vessel off 13oyana, but was dis-
appointed ; he, however, landed her men, and carried
off a large flock of sheep, and anchored here, in the
hope of being allowed to dispose of them ; but this, it
appears, could not be permitted, and she therefore sailed
to the Southward without delay.
A very important point for the Greeks is, that the
last bills, to the amount of nearly 40,0(X) dollars, sent
by Green and others to Constantinople, for supplies fur-
nished to Patras, have come back protested.
The Turks have given up the siege of Missolonghi.—
We have not the pat ticulars ; but I. believe there is little
doubt of the fact. It is aho pretty generally believed,
that Omar Brione is upon the point of revolt; and
that he has already made proposals on the subject to
the Greeks.

Mr. is now here, on his way from Lord Byron
to the Greek Committee. His Lordship has advanced
'20,000 dollars in aid of the Gieek fleet. Mr. is but
just returned front Greece, wheie he remained three
months :—his accoullt c:itaffairs is most favourable.
