Extract OF private letter OF %oth DeC Ho
"-'rhe public attention is at this mo-
menl powerfully excited by the disappearance
of Col Gustasson, (Ex-King of Sweden) whom
it was customary to see almost daily within our
walls. His hotel is situated at Cassel, parish
comprehended within the Notifications Of Ma
yence His attendants assert that he went TO
his son who resides at Carlsruhe with his mo-
Their, and that from thence they both departed
for Russia Well informed persons say that
Gustavus was very intimate with Prince Con-
s,an,ine, and kept up regular correspondence
with him."
The house of H olstein Go'torp, which reigns
in Russia. is branch Of the House OF Olden-
burg which reigns in Denmark, and which also
reigned in Sweden until the moment when
Marshal Bernadotte succeeded Charles XIII.
Bernadot,e, man of plebian birth, but raised
TO high dignity by his courage and military ia
Tents, and afterwards called to the throne by the
free suffrages ofthe Swedish nation, had, in the
eyes of the Holy Alliance, but slender title to
the rank he now occupies The attacks made
upon him in several publications, and the re.
ception given by several Courts to the Son OF
the dethroned King, must have made him feel
more than once that his situation was delicate;
but the Emperor Alexander pledged himself to
afford him support, although the former King
was Of his own family, and he fulfilled his pro-
mise with religious fidelity. The death OF this
powerful monarch is, therefore, most impor-
tant event for the actual King Of Sweden.
