~ OF ms forces, The /,resunittuous eI/icctd-
f'ona Of the enemy hare been SignaUy dis
dffioinfed. The enthusiasm, pffhe Russian
ma ron has increased with the contest and
the dangers with which it is surrounded.
They have Submitted TO sacrifices without
an example in the history of civilized ma
tons and entertain confident hope,
that the determined PERSEVERANCE of his
Imperial majesty will be crowned with
ultimate success and the contest in its
result have the effect of establishing, upon
foundation never to be shaken, the indie
hendence 6 security of the Russian empire.
The proof Of confd.nce Ihave received in
the measure ot sending the Russian fleet 10
the PORTS Of this country, is in the highest
degree gratifying and his imperial majes-
ty may most fully rely on my fred ,determi
nation TO AFFORD him my most cordial suf-
lfoTf IN the great contest in which he is en-
gaged."I
In the pleasure which his royal highaess
appears to feel at the conclusion of peace
with Sweden amply participate because
in forming connexions of friendship " it'll that
country, his royal highness has been gra
oiously pleased virtually TO acknowledge
The GROWN PRINCE of Sweden in that capa-
city ; G has therein done aIf.act which etfec
tuaily removes all our appfehensions, foun
ded on the doctrine sometimes promulgated
respecting the usNrhotion of Bonaparte and
OF those who have been elevated by him.
The only persons, who will feel mortified
upon this occasion, are those, who, about
two years ago, SO vilihed Bernadotte who
called HIN serjeant of Sans Culottes who
expressed theis hope, their base and cow
adlv hope, that the Swedes would cut his
throat ; and who predicted every thing un-
fortunate and infamous to Sweden if he
we're suffered to remain. These gentle
| men, these hirelings, these vile traders in
politics, will now lose ne time in discover
| ing that the man, whom they represented
as monster, is now a very worthy gentle
man, and they will bear in mind, chat to
call him names nozo, would subject them
to pretty fair chance of sojourning in
Newgate or in Lincoln Jail.
l told them OF this at the time that they
were treating him with such scandalous
abuse told them that should see the
day when they would not dare TO speak of
my old brother sergeant with dis,rspcct. My
prediction is already verified: dare them
to repeat what they said of him two wear.

and tf1endsh1t. which his royal hiehness
has been graciously pleased to establish
between our king & a crown, the successor
to which was once, and not long ago, a
SERGEANT. and, of course, once q. private
soldier, delights me to the heart. Il pleases
ne much more than the treaty formed With
Russia and 1t does so because think that
IL tends more to the good, not only of the
people of England, but of mankind in gene.
raj 1t says, in language that nothing can
resist. that great talents and great virtues
are not to be borne down by either pride
or intrigue.
Very different indeed are nv feelings
with respect &c what his royal III siiiess has
been pleased to say in regard to the war in
Russia. And can hardly believe my eyes,
when read that the regent has told the
parliament that the resistance which has
been made to the French in Russia, f" can
not fail to excite sentiments of ias,inp nd
1iiTafton - so far am L iron, entertaining
SUCH sentiment, that am really afraid to
express the sentiments that / entertain up
on the subject; and / am sure that the rea
uerwlll agree with mein expressing an anx-
lous nope, that such a resistance as the Rus
SLAMS have made to the French, would not
content his royal highness in case of an in
vssion OF England (; that England in such
case, would net be defe.'ded as Russia has
oecn defended that it would not be defended
laying waste the country and setting
hre to the capital; that the " euthnsiast.''
OF English people would be shown by rushing
10 the Held to meet the enemy, and not by
the DurRing OF houses: that the sort of - sa-
crWces which Englshmen would be dis
posed to make would be that of their own

aren, their aged parents, the blind, the
iame, the bed ridden, the women i'm child

before fought their battles; and not and
not the sacrifice of the Olives of all these to
their own personal safety, or out of revenge

that the circumstance of me Russian feet

though 1t may be, as the regent says it is,
proof of the cars confidence, highly gra-

no very good proof Of his confidence in his !
