Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Princeton (New Jersey) to his friend in this town, dated July 19.

This day has been ratified in Congress, a Treaty of Amity and Commerce between the United States and the King of Sweden. This treaty was concluded at Paris the 3d of April, and signed by Dr. Franklin, who was constituted Minister Plenipotentiary for that purpose, by a commission issued the 8th of September last, in behalf of the United States, and by Count Gustavus Philip de Crevecoeur, Minister Plenipotentiary in behalf of the King of Sweden.

This Treaty, like those with France and Holland, has for its basis the most perfect equality and reciprocity; and for its object the mutual benefit and advantage of both nations.
