+" Since the GOODNESS between the En-
peror Alexander and Bernadotte has in
creased to SO great degree as TO leave
scarcely any hope ola reconciliation, we
are not little curious to ascertain the
policy England will observe, should the
party among the Swedish nobility who
mediate the overthrow of Bernadotte re-
ceive support and encouragement from
Russia. The light in which the Swedish
Monarch is regarded by the other Powers
of Europe, is best known by the fact, that
he has already addressed himself TO three
different Courts in order to obtain the
hand of princess for his son Oscar, and
has received a refusal from them ALL
These three Courts are Prussia, Mecklen-
burg-Schwerin, and Hesse- Cassel."
The accounts Of certain harsh proceed.

rid, to be without foundation. M. Pizarrc

he had remained unmolested ever since
the period Of his dismission from the ad
ninisttation. 1t is also untrue, that M
Onis was stopped by royal order a
ValladoIid, Cd his way to the capital.
