" I informed you many months ago what I con-
ceived to be the objects which Col. Adiersparre
had in view ; the deposition of Gustavus IV. and
the nomination of tho Prince of Atigustenberg as
his successor to the Crown of Sweden. In both
these objects, Col. Adlersparre hasigucceeded.
The king has informed the Diet, thit Ptrince An-
gustenburg accepts with sentiments •of gratitude
the highest dignity which the nation could con-
. ter, but declines interfering in State affairs, aintil
the restoration of peace, an event which, it
is to be hoped, will speedily happen. A tit:
gociation for the accomplishment of that de-
sirable object is opboed•at Fredericksham. The
negociators on the' part of Sweden aro Baron
Stedengk and Colonel Seholdebrand ; and on
the part of Russia, the Emperor's Minister for
Foreign Affairs, assisted by one of Ore Secreta-
ries. Considerable progress has been made in the
Degociation, and I am assured, from iniquestion-
able authority, that t'Ae only articles which pro-
duce a difference of opinion are, the proposi•sow'
for shutting the ports of Sweden against ships
freighted with ai sof British manufacture, and
British colonial produce; the possession of Aland,
and tbo boundaries of Russian Fieland, viz.
whether the river Remi or Cali: shall be the line of
demarkation ; but as both pasties seem to be ac-
tuated by the true spirit of conciliation, tio doubt
is entertained as to the result.
" The King having made a proposition ft the
maintenance of Gustavus, the Secret Cononiot:v
of the Diet have recommended in Anveritory to
be taken of all his effects ; bat is Zhu would take
too much time, it was resolved" that Gustavus is
himself to ,tve what property he has, and the
decide accordingly. Ile has abandoned
the idea of residing iu Wi-ingu, and as he is nut
permitted to proceed to Christianfeldt, it is thought
bewail/ take up his abode in Switzerland."

From the high prices at which the landed pro.
