According to private letters received from the
Hague of the III init. as foon rs his Maiefty the
King of Sweden received information of the libel
which Bonaparte cauied to be inherited in the
hfoniteur, he Immediately difpatched a courier
to his Charge d'Affares at Paris, MIR. Ackerbald,
with orders for him to quit France without TAX
irg leave. AT the fame time orders were fent to
Stockholm, intiniatng to Bonaparte's Charge d.
hffaires there, that his prefence would be diff
penfed with in Sweden. All political relations
have therefore ceafed between Sweden and
France but the Swedifh Conful, Gen. M. Seig-
Reul, continues fill to rede at Paris for the pro-
lection OF the commerce of the Swediih fubieSts
with France. 1t is, however, fnppofed upon
the Continent, that Napoleon, in fit Of PATTON,
will foon order him away, and, perhaps, declare
war again Sweden.

arranged between this Government and that of
Rutia, and It is even aflerted that money has al
ready been advanced to the RufliaE Govern
