Sivu 221 - Britain that he could not remain insensible of so unjust and unexampled an aggression on a sovereign connected with him by the ties of blood and friendship, and who was the most ancient ally of Russia. His Imperial Majesty informed the King of Sweden of this determination by a note, dated the 24th of September last, presented to the Swedish Ambassador.
Sivu 222 - Emperor is, however, far from regretting his moderation. He is, on the contrary, well pleased to recollect that he has employed every means that remained to him, for bringing back his Swedish Majesty to the only system of policy, which is consistent with the interests of his States ; but his Imperial Majesty owes it at least to his people and to the security of his dominions, • — which is, to a Sovereign, the highest of all laws, — no longer to leave the co-operation of Sweden and Russia a...
