In the address to the King of Sweden, by the Speaker of the House of Peasants of that Kingdom, assembled in Diet, we find the following Passage: "A sincere and substantial proof of your Majesty's love to your subjects and of your Majesty's Zeal to promote their happiness, for which we cannot sufficiently express our Gratitude, is to see the northern countries, which have lain hitherto wild, uncultivated, and uninhabited, known by the Name of the Lapmarchen, wear at present a quite different Face. They are now covered with dwellings, the lands are cultivated, and, for the first time since the creation of the World, this new people appear in the Diet with us by their representatives. How agreeable would it be to us, how would it rejoice our hearts to see our dear country extend its bounds more and more, by the draining of moors and other lands covered with water, and the peopling of deserts."
