WAsHINcyoN, March IL
We have seen in Of the Northern prints an
L.
paper il, iAs D,ssI,ci, that oar governments hsd
refused to make treaty Oh eomrneice d amty with
Sweden.
sueh vsriety Of rumors circulate 10 the atmos.
phere of this city, and its sisters George own and
Aiexandria, by which sometimes ourselves
hab.e to be m,sied, that We should not think i, We
eessary TO notice this because, neither or false
1t 10 nninaportant, aad would convey no charge
paiust the governments bot that 1t is stated with
an cir Of authority which entities it, pethaps, 10
notice.
We do not believe the statement TO be true, be.
cause we have not heard that tbs Sw edish minister
rosss sS,s the necessary powers to negocate such
lreay, and If he do not. Of course the government
bad lao opportunity TO refuse TO Degocate such
treaty, as is ssid 10 have been proposed. Tho'if
such an invitation had been given 10 the government
L. might have been declined on Various grounds -
Il il possible, for instance, that our Minister 10 Got,
,esyurg may be charged with Instructions nsgoc-
Ate treaty there Whether he be rot, the facts III,
the appointment OF Minister Of the h.gies, grade
10 eden, rad the consent to negotiate with
envy within its 10 nIinons, Sufficiently indcau ,e
ofthe disposition Of our government to be terms
of arpity with Sweden, and binHt the point Of the
cussuon unjast.y r.aie against ths!p OF different
Jjppos,tcn.
Coupled witA the statement we hive alluded to,
was another--that government bad rsceEtly re-
fused TO receive minister from Spain. This state
,,eut has probably better foundation than the 9TH
