The gallant, but unfortunate King of Sweden,
has experienced some alleviation in his misfortunes.
by escaping from the power of Buonaparte, and,
as will be seen in this day's paper, has landed in England,
the only spot in Europe, which is completely
exempted from the grasp of tyranny. When we
consider the vigilance of Napoleon's emissaries
and spies, and subserviency of his vassal kings,
and rulers, we are astonished at the good fortune
of Gustavus. It is certain that without the con-
nivance of the Emperor of Russia, in whose do-
minions he embarked, the King of Sweden could
not have escaped; a circumstance calculated to
increase the discontents that already exist, between
Alexander and Napoleon.
