Full Text

M. DE KANTZOW, has been recognised by the Executive as Minister Resident from the Court of Sweden in the U. States.

The occasion of his arrival & reception might be improved to impress, still more forcibly, on the public mind, the inexpediency of the course pursued by the Senate of the United States, in refusing to reciprocate the friendly overture of Sweden for an interchange of ministers. The decision of that body in this respect, however, has been so generally condemned by all parties in the United States, that it would be a waste of words to say any thing more on that head. We have no doubt, that at the next session, when a renomination of a minister shall be made, as no doubt it will, a deliberate consideration will induce the Grand Executive Council of the Union to reverse their decision, and enable the U States to comply with the usage of friendly nations, by interchanging Ministers with a friendly power with whom it is its interest to be in perfect amity.
