The following is the note published by the king of Sweden, on the subject of the empress of Russia's refusal to receive the ambassador appointed to communicate his intended marriage to her imperial majesty: "The king of Sweden thought it his duty on the occasion of his lately agreed on marriage, to give a princess (the empress of Russia) who is his near relation and ally, the same proof of his attention as he readily shewed towards their Danish and Prussian ministers, to whom he is likewise attached by the ties of friendship and good neighbourhood. It was, therefore, with the utmost astonishment, that his majesty saw this attention by no means returned by the empress of Russia. The king has accordingly resolved, for the future, not to receive from the Russian Court any of those particular missions, which concern family events, and which have ever before been in use between the two respective courts, but which the king has now abolished for ever."
