It was nevertheless to be presumed, that this
:fortunate situation, affording Sweden the means of
recruiting her strength, exhausted by a destructive
war, would not be of long duration. The Emperor

of policy, every feeling of dignity, must disappear
before tie omnipotence of arms, and an unbiotling :

a In the beginning of November, 1810, and a
few days before the separation of the States of the
realm, a dispatch arrived from the Baron de Lagerb-j
jelke at Paris. It detailed a conversation which he
bad had with the Emperor of the Preach; the result
of which-eras, that your Majesty wooki have to
choose bet Ween the interruption of your relation,
with France, and a format declaration of war against
England. Baron Alquier, IMP French Minister at
Stockholm, presented a mote to the same effect, and
demanded a categorial answer within five days,
. threatening to quit Sweden should the Government
not obey the will of his master.
66 When your Majesty, at a esoment• so urgent,
I took a view of the internee and external situation of
• your kingdom, yon saw no means *hick could
enable yea to adept a free decision. The Conti.
nental Powers then followed solely the impulse
of France ; and the season of the year removed
}every hope of being assisted by England, in the
event of the kingdom being attacked during the
Course of the winter. The shortness of the tern
find for ',tubing an answer, did not admit of at.
certaining the sentiments of the neighbouring States;.
and the resources of the realm, both in money, and
in the means of defence, were so limited, that there
was no nattering prospect of being able to secure
the integrity and independence of Sweden. The
Prince Royal, penetrated with
.the necessity of sav-
ing the State, imposed silence on Ms affections, and
solemnly declared, that your Majesty ought to dis-
miss all consideration of his peculiar situation, and
of his past connections, and that he would execute
with zeal and fidelity whatever your Majesty might
enjoin for maintaining the honour and independence
of the kingdom.

campaign should open on the Rhine! Oh silly (pilot,
