Foreign papers contain, since some time, news
from Sweden, which, in many respects merit to
come to the knowledge of the nation. One men,
tons that seditious movements are seen in the
country; another goes still further, and carries
the absurdIty even 10 quote the article which
is to be found below here.
1t may be, that the Editor Of that article has
been misguided by the controversies in writing
which have appeared amongst us; and which
when they fell into the hands of foreigners, ca
silly may either give them an incorrect idea of
the integrity and characi er of the Swedish natl.
on, or make those who wish to do us misch ief
fancy that they cen find, within the nation, blind
instruments for the kndling Of variance and dis.
cord and ior the promoting of plans which their
hatred and Jealousy against Sweden may inspire
1t is the Al'gemeine Ziet,ne. No. 328, which.
under date of the 24'h November last, cites the
following;
