SWEDEN. This wretched country has
fallen under the government of one OF Boz
nspatte's li~eutenants which has caused US to
ieel in this remote part of the world further
effects of the Emperor's love for the Ame-
ricans." One hundred and thirty Of our
vessels have been seized. This is a pretty
decent grab, for the apostate Bernadohe, to.
wards %replenishing a beggarly exchequer.
If we put these vessels with their cargoes
down at only Fifty Thousand Dollars each,
they W i'll amountto 81. Millions, Five Hun
d,ed Thousand Dollars! This is the effect
of the continental system, for the success of
which Mr.. Jefferson and his party, are con.
stan,ly praying, if they are not pied ged to
aid it, and which that Philosopher I've have
been told) calmly calls more municipal
regulations" OF which we have no just cause
to complain. As the writer of the letter
from Sweden Justly remarks, there is not a
spot in all Europe where American pro.
perty is exempt from seizure or sequestra-
tion, except Great. Britain-he might have
added parts of Spain and Portugal, but they,
fthe British forces were Withdrawn, would
most probably fall under the power of Ma.
poleon !; and the same system of plumber
inevitabl, follow-With these facts before
us, we find men who are labouring with all
the art that ingenuity can suggest, to de-
prive us of the only trade which we have
left-who would deprive US of market for
ALL the -four, wheat, corn, rice, lumber and
naval stores that our country exports. For
we assert, without the fear of contradiction,
that neither France nor her dependencies,
are customers for one d2Hay's North of the
articles which we have enumerated-be-
sides these, Great. Britain, her colonies and
dependencies, with Spain and Portugaltakc
a very considerable proportion of tobacco,
cotton, aud many other articles. Almost
ruined by the plundering and sequestrating
systems of France, and her vassal states,
aided by the folly of our own measures, it
seems as if the party in power are resolved
not 70 stop, until they have made the ruin
of the country complete. And all this with
the view to bring down the power OF Great

The Scheme of the above Lottery is al.
lowed by the bes, Judges to be as advanta-
geousiy arranged for the interest Of adyen-
turers as any ever offered to the public.
The proportion of prizes is much greater
than customary-the blanks not being near
two to one prize. 1t affords also many
strong inducements to purchase early, in-
asmuch as the first three thousand tickets
that are drawn will be entitled TO twelve
dollars each and the highest prizei is liable
to come out of the wheel on the next or
any day following. The great encourage
ment which has been already given to this
Lottery affords a reasonable expectation
that the drawing will commence at an carly
period.
But independent of all the advantages
peculiar to the scheme itself: The great
and good purpose for which this Lottery
has been authorised, viz. ITO preserve the
genuine vaccine matter and TO distribute it
free of every expence," ought alone to IN
duce the public to give it every possible
encouragement without delay. 1t is well
known that many persons have Of late fallen
victims to the Small Pox by a misplaced
confidence in spurious matter instead OF
using the genuine vaccine ; SO that already
the Kline Pock has been brough. into dis
repute, in many places, and the old inocu-
lation has been again unhappily substituted
in its stead. If therefore the people OF the
United States are unwilling to reIinqpish
the advantages of the Kline Pock, or wish
to enjoy the benefit Of this discovery, di-
vested of the dangers and difficulties which
have hitherto accompanied il, they must
support vaccine institutions such as the one
now contemplated to be established-these
institutions by giving a free circulation to
the genuine vaccine matter, win greatly
facilitate its use, and by preventing tie
mistakes go liable to occur from using Inc
proper or spurious matter, they will engage
the confidence of the public in this invalu-
able remedy, and finally, it is confidently
believed, they will proveto be the means
of extirpating the Small Pox entirely from
among US.
