The election of Bernadotte to the kingdom of Sweden, is no less ex traordinary in its causes, thari even tually it will become in its conse quences it may lead to effects which will not only perpetuate the power of Bonaptfrte, but give it a new force and character. The best ground of hope, in the actual condition of af fairs, was that the power of France would necessarily fall to pieces ; that it was attached to the person of Bo naparte, and moreover, and perhaps chiefly, that it Was of a nature and kind which could not reach this country. Any thing that takes away this ground of hope, and in any way diminishes it, adu3 to the gloom of the future prospect. It is a serious addition to our calamity, when we see it striking root, and providing for its permanence and augmentation. Louis the 14th thought he had ef fected much, and Europe was justly alarmed, when he forced his Nephew a Frenchman, on the vacant throne ol the Spaniards, What are we now to think of the Emperor Napoleon, who has filled almost every throne in Europe with his brothers or ser vants ? Such was the policy of the Feudal system. It united every one in the same interest of mutual assist ance towards their common defence. The assault of the principal is the at tack of the whole. Every one de fends the svhole system as if it were his own fief. Faith and friendship may certainly be sufficient securities for a confederacy ; but interest is in finitely better. With respect to the causes of this revolution, they may be found in the former and present state Of Sweden and the Swedish people. Sweden, like all other northern powers, possessed a constitution of comparative Liberty ; the diet was free, and the king on his coronation, was sworn to maintain the rights of the people, and their liberties, as es tablished by the laws. Sweden, however, being in the neighborhood of Russia, who before the revolution was the most ambiti ous and restless power in the world, was continually agitated by a Russi an party, and it thus required gieat abilities, and was a work of infinite difficulty, to keep her in her due po sition, and. not to have her forced in to the adoption of whatever Russia wished. As a counterbalance to this Rus sian power, the former kings of Swe den had recourse to France, who willingly received her advances un der the notion that Sweden was the natural and most suitable check to Russia and her advancing power to wards the north of Europe. Swe den therefore had two parties ; a French party and a Russian party, who mutually opposed each other, and if they had been well managed might have been so directed as to work out the public good between them. The king, however, deemed him self to have no kingdom and no crown whilst he had any difficulty in governing—whilst he was obliged to consult the existing parties, and oc casionally found his «ill opposed, under the cover of the nghts of the people and of the diet. The king of Sweden, however, saw nothing a- round him but absolute monarchies. He did not see the king of Denmark or Empress Catharine perplexed by the opposition of their people or no bles. The king of Sweden, there fore resolved to get rid of this Con stitution, and render his crown and kingdom what he saw were the crowns and kingdoms of his neigh bors. He had no sooner adopted this resolution, than he went to France to consult with the French ministry and government, the means of effecting it. The French Minis ters very naturally concurred in a measure, which, by emancipating Sweden from all Russian interests and connexions, rendered her a more equal opponent to that ambitious power ; and thereby, a more efficient member of the balance of the North. On his return from Paris, the king having previously arranged every thing, called a meeting of the diet, -i as if on some most important busi ness. Upon the meeting, which from the -expectation excited from the extraordinary summons, was ve ry full, the Chancellor, in order to take Up a necessary interval of time, entered into a long account of the state of the kingdom. The king himself entered as he concluded, and briefly told the diet, that in such a state of things it was necessary to alter, or rather do away entirely the existing constitution ; that the popu lar liberties only fomented and che rished parties, which rendered the sovereignty a burden to him ; th^t he was resolved, therefore, not to be less a king than his neighbors, and had brought with him the scheme of a new constitution, and a deed of re nunciation of all their popular rights, which he required them to sign be fore he lef. the hall of the assembly ; he added, that in order to prevent a- ny riots, he had ordefed the Hall of the diet tube surrounded by cannon with lighted matches, and none of themembeis of the diet would ho allowed to leave the Hall, or to pass the guard, till they had signed and sworn their acceptance and renunci ation. What were men to do in this situ alien ?—It is unnecessary to add, that the king’s wishes were accom plished, and the liberties of a brave people thus forced from them at the mouth of the cannon. To the long disgrace of the peo ple of Sweden, the king ?tas permit ted to reign two or three years after this atrocious felony on the rights of his people. He at length, how ever, met his deserts, and died under the blow of one of his subjects. The late king of Sweden succeed ed to the throne and new constituti- n procured by the fraud of his fa ther, and therefore succeeded to the popular dislike, or at least indiffer ence, which such a conduct was cal culated to perpetuate. To this cause of indifference the late king soon ad ded one of personal defence—He a- dopted the French war, and having once adopted it, persevered in it to the manifest ruin of his kingdom, and in decided opposition to the public voice -—Had he remained king ano ther year, Sweden would have been extinguished as one of the kingdoms of the north. Hence the indifference with which the Swedes beheld the deposition of this king, and hence the equal or greater indifference with which they have beheld, in the election of Berna dotte, the deposition of his whole fa mily and the introduction of another. Such have been the causes of this tranquil revolution. As to the consequences, though they are certainly rather eventual than immediate, they are not of the less importance to a state which, as not of the creature of a day, should extend its prudence with its natural duration, and provide for itself more remotely than is required of an indi vidual. These consequences are of two kinds ; those which affect our com merce, and those which affect our na tional safety. May not Sweden, in conjunction with denmark, shut the sound against the English trade ? May she not, and will she not prevent the supply of naval stores, of timber, &c. The most serious consideration however is that it throws into the pnwer of Bonaparte a nati on of seamen, a people born to the ocean in almost an equal degree with Englishmen themselves ; it is not possible that with such resources France can long want a navy—Hol land and Sweden in this point of view, are of infinitely more importance than all the Italian and Mediterra nean conquests. The greatest difficulty of Bona parte has been to man his navy— There have been such vast calls on the population of France to supply the army, that the fleets of France when ever they have been able to es cape out of port, have always been found insufficiently manned. A population like that of Sweden, a Nothern people born on the shore of the Sea, is therefore of infinite value to the views of Bonaparte.— And what we have justly to dread from this kind of people, so employ ed, wc may in some degree be ena bled to estimate, by recalling to me mory, what infinite trouble the Dutch gavt us at the commence ment of the war ; and what has been the only characterestic reputation of a Northern people. The name of Van Tromp is as little forgotten in England as in Holland. HOLLAND. How its incorporation with France may affect England. The subject has been handled with great candor and ability by an En glishman journalist. Tie views the consequences to England with live ly apprehension.—He peceive3 the naval resources of that country, and he perceives that they ate to be di rected by the gigantic intellectof Na poleon—whose ambition, he says i3 of a higher order than to aim barely at governing countries. “ What he aims at, is commanding the world ; levelling old establishments ; putting down what ever opposed him; revo lutionizing the world ; in the accom plishment of which views he has been most wonderfully aided by most of the old establishments themselves. Indeed he is not so much the leader of an army as the agent of a moral principle. To do what he has done, he must be a great captain ; but if arms alone had aided him he would at this day have been, at most, the commander of a brigade and per haps not that. He would very like it, feel humilitated at the tho’t, but it 13 nevertheless true, that ev<ry man who views withaphilosophiceye what is now going on in the world, looks upon Napoleon os nothing more than an unconscious instrument for giving effect to a great pervading principle.” He then argues, that the progress of this principle would continue were Napoleon cut off to-morrow :—That the robber is supported for sake of the robbery-i-the public plunder or emolument. In Holland, he thinks that the mass of the people will be pleased with the change ; for whtn the English army landed in Zealand none of the Dutch came to join it. la Holland, the author imagines that Bonaparte will makehisgreatest preparations—for invading England. The effect, he intimates, of an hun dred ships of war poured out of the rivers of Holland, aided bv the Bou logne flotilla, the Brest fleet, naval armaments at Rnchfort, Ferrol and Lisbon, with troops on board ; the effect of such combination, will not be to make the English lttugh. And this combination is “ much less im probable than was the battle of Wag- ram, the conquest of Vienna, and the last marriage of Napoleon.” Looking at the vast means of their enemy, the English have certainly no phantom to combat, but a force capable of overwhelming them. * ENGLAND. Liverpool, Gth Oct. 1810. The unhappy state in which the monied and commercial interests of this country at present stand, has sensibly affected our prices and caus ed several forced sales to be made, which have further depressed our cotton market. Good Uplands have been sold at 13d. and we cannot quote higher than 14d. unless it was lor a few picked bags of a favourite mark, for which, perhaps 14 1-2 might be given. The same remark may be applied to New-Orlcans, which may be es timated at 14d a 16d per lb. Until we have something more decided in the mercantile world, we can do lit tle more than quote prices, as vari ous shocks, which almost every mail brings, prevent us from forming an accurate judgment of our future pros pects. Rice 20s a 21s per cwt; Tar 2G a 27s ; Turpentine 1G a 17s 3d per cut; Wheat 14 a 14s Gd per 70 lbs. and Flour 58s a GOs per barrel; Flax seed has been sold as high as G8s per hhd. and 70s is expected. WEST-INDIES. INSURRECTION IN GAUDALOUPE. Sr. John’s (Antigua.) Oct. 11. Accounts from Gauualoupe, we are sorry to state announce the discove ry of a Conspiracy to regain the pos session of that Island for its former master, Bonaparte. The particulars are not kn: wn here, and perhaps, for obvious reasons, are but partially known even at Gaudaloupe to tl a mass of the inhabitants; from wb;.c lias transpired it appears clear, that a number ol the principal merchant-* have countenanced this act of trea son to the British government, an t for which offence a very considera ble number of them have received orders to leave the Colony, w'uhin a fortnight. The disqovthgyls said to have been made in cffiSlwjmcnce « f the apprehension of a youjfg man in the employ of Elba 3 and Crufts, of St. Bartholomews, under circum stances that led to a suspicion of his being engaged in an attempt to lo> merit disturbances, in whose posses sion a number of papers containing plans, proclamations, !kc» together with a very considerable sum of mo ney, supposed to be intended to bribe the soldiery, were found. la what manner the insurrection was t ( > have been conducted we have not learnt, hut it was evidently the in tention ol those concerned to have restored the Colony to the dominion ol Bonaparte, ii' it had succeeded— Accounts received some time back from Mr. Jackson, announce the ar rival in America of a number of French emissaries, whose ultimate destination seems to have been to sow the seeds of commotion, v here-* ver there was the least probability ol success. It is not improbable that the armaments which have for some ime past been preparing at Toulon,, the Scheldt and the Texcl, nave sum : connection with these treasonable ef forts DOMESTIC. The following Extracts are taken from the- Communicjt'on of the Governor of North- Carolina to both branches of the Legislature of that state, now in session. “ Such has been the unyielding in justice of foreign nations, as to ren der it Indispensably necessary that the State Governments should pay the most unceasing and devoted at tention to the perfecting of that por* tion of the national force, placed by the Constitution of the United States under their authority, for its efficient organization and preparation for service. Without this attention pro perly applied, the General Govern ment must continue to negotiate fee bly, or resort to the expensive and hazardous alternative of raising 1* large standing force. The States are- therefore bound, by their respect for the character and rights of tile nati on, by their respect and attachment to the principles of our Republican Institutions, to place the national force, the Militia, on a footing to produce the most imposing effect.— It is in vain that the government of the United States have uniformly acted with the most scrupulous im partiality between the belligerent na tions of the world—In vain have they sought to procure respect lor our rights, by the most sedulous care to perform all those offices of friend ship and hospitality, consistent with our neutral situation—-those right* have been disregarded and trampled upon ; and we may safely say, ne ver will be respected Init in propor tion as we show our ability and de termination to as.sert, and to main tain and defend them. And from whatever motives may proceed ti e late indication of a disposition in one of the belligerents to relax hit system of injustice, it is our duty lie prepared for events. Without this preparation, the endeavors to encfcase the wealth of our citizens, and improve the face of our country, become criminal, as only adding to the temptation held out to the ava rice and ambition of. governments less scrupulous than our own in the means of aggrandizement. “ The education of our youth of both sexes, as indissolubly connec ted with the vital principles of cur Institutions, will deserve an impor tant place in your deliberations.—• Those of us who can look hack hut a few years, must view with heart felt satrfaction, the multiplied facili ties afforded at this time for procur ing a virtuous education, beyond what then existed among us.—-But I tryst we shall never consider our task as finished, until preparation shall be made, and opportunity affor ded for the most obscure members of society to procure such a poi tion of instruction for their offspring T*
