For all the saottfices l *mew wo have conttibited
to the general deliverance of Europe, we hare de•
sired no other reward, but-the future peace and tran.
quality of the Scindinatiatt Peninsula. It was to
facilitate the happy unionof Norway,to Sweden, and
to_ cement it by all the principles of honour and.good
faith, that we consented to restore to theiciag of
Denmark the most valuable of his,COntinental pos.
sessions, conquered and then occupied by Our ile.
torious troops and those of our Allies. It was in
consideration of this object, so much desired, that we
hastened at once to put a stop to the payment of all
the contributions which had already been imposed on
the Danish. provinces ; that we solemnly renounced
•ill. the old claims which we were entitled to MaltiCon
the Court of Copenhagen in favour of our subjects,
and that we,added to these disinterested conditions of
peace offers still more considerable, andsacrifices very
painful to our heart, es an ulterior indemnity for the
peaceable cession of Norway.
