Svetccuor.st, Dsc. 12.—thse of the vessels belbng-
log to the Russian squadron has again pet Into Got-

There has just been published here the following re-
' rentable report of what has occurred in Ow Govern.
Meet of .the kingdom since the last Diet, signed by
his Majesty the King, and the. Chancellor Baron
Wellerstedt
" During the period which has elapsed since the
• kit assembly of the States; the general peace, end
the amicable relations of the kingdom With Foreign
. Powers, have afforded his Majesty a happy-opportn.
shy to direct his exertions and cares to the promo.
tion of trade end industry, and of the internal admi-
t istration. Though the rapid transition from war to
. peace, particularly after the violent convulsions
. +which have distinguished the last 20 years, has also
bad a proportionate influence on the trade of Swedes,
end the revenue of its customs, yet his Majesty has
had the satisfaction to find that this influence, which
is to strikl6 in the richer European States, has not
been considerably injurious to Sweden.—lt was to be
. foreseen that the transit trade, after the re.establish-
meet of peace in Europe, should return to its ancient
channels, and consequently Sweden could not remain
the only channel ; and that notwithstanding the men-
sum which the King has been forced to take, from
time to time, for maintaining the value of the currency,
aecolding•to the wish of the Diet, have been added to
this, yet the revenue of the customs has even exceeded
the sum upon which the States had calculated.
66 Attentive to profit by every opportunity to pro.
care new advantages to the trade of the Kingdom,
Ids Majesty has concluded a Treaty of Commerce
. with the United States of North America, founded on
a.perfect equality of rights and privileges. Though
this. Treaty, with the exception of some less import-
. attt points which were to be the subject of a new
negotiation, has been already ratified by the Presi.
dent of the United States, yet it could not be pub-
lished, on account of the negotiation still pending,
but his Majesty hopes we shall soon be able to make
it known.
" A Treaty has been concluded with the Court of
Russia, respecting the commercial relations between
Sweden and Finland, the ratification of which will
shortly be exchanged, and his Majesty is convinced
that the Diet will learn with pleasure, the equity,
and at the same time the advantages of the principles
• on which this Treaty is founded.
• "To fulfil the obligations of which his Majesty
acquainted the States at the last Diet, the Duchy of
• Pomerania and the Island of Itugen were given up to
the Prussian Government in October, 1815; several
payments have been made by Prussia on account of
. the sum agreed upon, and the arrears are relative
principally to accounts still to be settled with the in-
. habitants of Pomerania, many of which were as on-
, expected by his Majesty, as their amount is exag-
gerated. As the negocistion has now taken a deci-
.sive turn his Majesty confidently hopes that it will be
.speedily concluded in a satisfactoiy manner.
64 Ills Majesty has the satisfaction to be able to
ennounce to the States, that the Foreign Debt of the
Kingdom in Ilamburgh, Holland, Genoa, and Ant-
••irrerp, bas been paid in the manner prescribed by the
Diet.

" The Loan in Leipsic is the only one which has
tot been paid. iiis Majesty has, however, the best
founded hopes, that ,t ith the exact observance of the
principles of payment prescribed by the States in the
years 1812 and 1816, this also will not be long de-
layed ; and thus the promise fulfilled which his Ma-
jesty and the Crown Prince made to the States at
their last meeting, namely, to pay off the whole
.foreign debt, which was so oppressive to the king-
tioso, so disproportioned to its powers, and the inte-
rest of which would have absorbed near two-thirds
of the sum now granted, or abate ,eight hundred
thousand via-dollars in cash.".
Mis Majesty then proceeds to dilVelop what has
been done is the various beasaboantthe internal ad-
snioistration. •

FROM THE FREECHE lotion/Inas, Dec. 41.—1 t is
it'll positively asserted at the head-quarters of the
Duke of Wellington, that up to this moment no di-
minution of the Army of Occupation is thought of.
The report of the approaching departure of the
Danish, Sazon, and Hanoverian contingents, has
wholly died away. These corps are to receive, in
the course of the neat month, some detachments to
Ell op their complement. It is supposed that the
Allied Powers will resolve upon nothing in this
respect before the end of the present sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies at Paris. The measeres for
placing the troops of the Army of Occupation le.
barracks are contineed along the whole line.
