ATTRACT or A LETTER FltO,At ITOCEIIOI.I4I DATED
THE 2SE9 OF NOVEMBER, I g tO.
64 In transmitting to you the Swedish declaration
of war against England, I wish to communicate to
you son*: details with regard to thirmotivcs which
bare induced Bonaparte to &de! it.
" Extremelyirritated by the loss of the Isle of Boor.
bon (seeing it thus every day becomes more.dillicult
to make good his promise to Franee, of preserving
her colonies), as well as by the resistance which he,
has met with in the Peninsula, Bonaparte sent for
the Baron de Idagerbjelke, the Swedish Minister at
Paris, and, in presence of Champagny alone, spoke
to him as follow& :—' The elertion of the Prince
of Punts Corr° to the throne of Sweden has alone
restrained my just resentment against your Court
for the last three months. It has not ceased to give ,
provocatioa to France shim 1809: at one time
preventing England from making peace fur three
years together ; and at another, seeking the alb.'
&nee and protection of France in order to desert it
afterwards. I knew (added Bunaparti ) how to
provide against the hatred of Gustavus Adolphus—
he was my declared enemy ;—while the present
Government of Sweden has only sought my.friend.
ship for the purpose of recovering Finland, an
event that will never take place. It has besides
continued so trade with Great Britain, in contra-
vinition of the Treaty of Peace with France, by
permitting colonial produce to be introdu&d into
Sweden, for the purpose of being afteraards re.
exported to the Continent!'
6' The Coino'il of State at Stockholm, and which
will surprise you still more, Bernadotte himself,
were of opinion, that war should nut be declared
against England. The declaration of the Danish
Minister, that he would depart from Sweden, if
Bunisparicii dem/mai, through his own Minister,
were not complied with, and the fear that the King,
would ex perienee the fate of the unfortunate Gusta-
♦ui Adolphus, should be have a war with France,
Russia, and Denmark, produced submission to the
pleasure of Bonaparte.
'6 In consequence of all this,' continued Bona-
parte, my, Minister at Stockholm has orders tui
demand, that war be declared against England—!
that English reatinfitetnres be burnt—and that!
Cutouial produce be subjected to a duty of 50
per rent.: and in cue of refuial, he must quilt
Stockholni immediately. It is 1 ..uho order it
suds is my pleasure.'-
" Whenever the Baron de Lagerhjelke attempt.
cd to eerily, Bonaparte ordered him to be silent,
crying, Hold your tongue!'
" The soundest and must numerous part of the
aation'highly disapprove of such a system.
" They cannot proceed to burn the English
Manufactures, and to impose a duty of 50 per cent.
oa colonial prninee, without first convokiug the.
states of the realm. The. Baron Dc Lagerbjdke,
having metttioued that objection to Bonaparte,
`Seim/ furatuswer, 'Let inc hear no more of these
silly (the expression is much more cuurso in the
French) laws of Swedeu.' •
64 It is &Airfoil here, that Bonaparte, during
e spring, will put the Swedish fleet in requisition
for the purpose of making it act nith that which
be is equipping in the 'reset ; but it is the general
opinion, at the same time, that this couutry will
. not act hostilely against England, if the latter domt
. net attack. her."
