Stran 153 - It was with this hope that I arrived in Sweden. — I found a nation generally attached to France ; but still more to its...
Stran 153 - ... of this people ; yet always preserving the remembrance of its first affections, and never losing sight of the glory of France, nor of the sincere attachment which it has vowed to your Majesty ; an attachment founded on a confraternity in arms, which so many great deeds have illustrated.
Stran 50 - In large bodies the circulation of power must be less vigorous at the extremities. Nature has said it. The Turk cannot govern Egypt, and Arabia, and...
Stran 217 - Swedes are, like you, members of the Scandinavian family ; and battles between the two nations are equally repugnant to nature, to reason, and to sound policy. Norwegians ! Suffer not yourselves to be heated by the instigations of the individuals who have only their personal interest in view.

Stran 193 - Permit me to remind you, Sire, of the little value your Majesty attached to it, at times when a reciprocity of sentiment would have been very useful to Sweden. When the King, after having lost Finland, wrote to your Majesty to beg you to preserve for Sweden the Isles of Aland, you replied to him, ' apply to the Emperor Alexander — he is great and generous...
Stran 139 - The cruisers under the French flag have given an unlimited extension to their letters of marque; the injuries which they have done us have been the object of our complaints. The justice and loyalty of his Majesty the Emperor of the French have guaranteed their redress. " The protections given by friendly...
