that of retarding its fall for a time. Although this

tem. which I wish to free from obstacles that prevent
its developement. In this situation I have inteirupted
every other business to devote myself exclusively to
the most important object, the plan of finance, which
will be submitted to you. This plan is the huh of
long meditations and calculations, which have ft.,
their object the internal resources of the country, and
the quantity of specie in circulation. You know,
Gentlemen and good Swedes, that the paper money
which, in ISO 2, comprising the securities for she debt
' of the State, did not exceed four millions of or. wns
(Banco), amounts now to about 90 millions. You
may judge from thence of the extent of the sacrifices
which .1 have been obliged to make to maintain the
valise of paper comparatively with foreign money.
" It is by these sacrifices, as wed as by advan.
tageous Commercial Treaties,coact uded with Foreign
Powers, I have endeavoured to give new lite Cu) cum.
merce ; but every unprejudiced man may easily judge
of the confidence which Swedes and foreigners can
place in a species of money, which, in the space of
one month, has varied from 30 per cent. between loss
and profit. If foreign commerce procures abun-
dance and ease to. a country, the natural proJuctions
of which are limited, it cannot be in the end advan-
tageous, when the people of this country do not
possess among themselves sufficient resources of nou-
risbnient.
" In ISIS the imyrtation of foreign grain amount-
ed to three millinus tie dollars of the Bank of Ham-
burgh, an incontestable: wool • that notwitlistsioding
the amelioration of agriculture, a great de .1 still re-
mains to be done for the encouragement of this im-
portant and first alimentary resource.
" The manutactureof cloths has also engaged my
attention ; and, finally. to give them more activity,
I have caused it to be made known, that in about
three sears 1 must putchase about three hundred
thousand yards et cloth far the army. I have assignea
on my privy purse relief for a great number of *rusts
andragricul-ural persons.
44 Tie land and sea forces have'been the object of
all my cares. I have ameliorated the situation of the
soldiers and their sulastiors. The aim of all my
efforts Iris been, at the carne time, to open the ways
of promotion to those who shed their blood fur their
country, and to remove all the obstacles which might
discourage the warriors whose fortune dues not allow
them to aspire to the rank of Colonel ot Lieutenant.
Colonel. With this view,. I shave pprchascd a great
part of these places. In the space of these last three
years, the army and the Pension Chest have received
about two millions of crowns /Banco) without pres-
sing in any manner upon the State Funds. A 51:4
of the line, of 80 tons, has been launched.
" The lazaretto, the hospitals, and other publ'e
establishments, the supply of grain for the capital, at
ail equitable price, have been alto the subject of my
solicitude ; and while countries much more favoured
by nature have suffered scarcity and famine, Sweden
has been so far lot tunate that none of its inhabitants
has been the victim of them, or been obliged to emi-
grate to a foreign country. No sea has seen' the
Scandinavians embarked for *emote ngions, in the
hope of übtaiaing subsistence there, boat want of it
io their own country
" I have adinii.teie.f,Cle t 1 men, the finds which
you have assigned fur the wants of the State, with all
the care with which a tender father could use in ma-
naging the property of his children. Besides the
support, maintenance, and pay of the army, which
my son conducted in Germany, I have procured for
you, in the interval et six years, by foreign aids, or
by the payment of our debts abroad, a surd of about
V. 5 millions of crowns (Banco).
a I am very far from thiuting that the plan of
finance which will be submitted to you possesses the
degree of perfection I wish to give it ; but I think,
at feast, that the expedients proposed are the 1110':t
suitable for the present, and that we should give them
a trial until the meeting of the next Diet. •
