Sir James wrote the following answer:

St. James's Place, London, 6th April 1811.

SIR,

I have received the honour of your Serene Highness's letter
respecting Major Nordenfeldts, and inclosing one from Mr.
Harrison of the Treasury, which I shall have great pleasure in
delivering to Major Nordenfeldts, should I meet with him on his
way from Colberg, and I shall also use my endeavours to
facilitate his means of returning to England.

I have the honour to be,
With the highest respect, &c.
JAMES SAUMAREZ.

To his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick.

The deposed King of Sweden, after having spent the winter in England,
was embarked on board the Horatio to return to the Continent, but
choosing to remain longer than necessary on board that ship, Sir James
wrote instructions how to act respecting him; but he had fortunately
disembarked before Sir James's arrival in the Baltic. He sailed from
the Downs on the 28th of April and arrived at Gothenburg on the 2nd of
May 1811, where he was received joyfully by the Swedes, although they
could not publicly give vent to their feelings.

On Sir James's arrival he wrote the following letter to the Admiralty:

Victory, in Wingo Sound, 3rd May 1811.

I have the honour to acquaint you with my arrival here
yesterday morning, after a short passage of only four days from
the Downs. Admiral Reynolds arrived here with the detachment
from Hosley Bay ten days before, and Admiral Dixon yesterday
evening. The weather proving unfavourable, I have received no
communication from Gothenburg, except by a letter from Mr.
Consul Smith, informing me that, on his having signified my
arrival to the Governor, he immediately despatched a courier to
Stockholm, agreeably to orders he had received from thence, and
that when the courier reached Stockholm, it would determine the
commander-in-chief Count Essen's journey to Gothenburg, which
had been postponed until the account of my arrival was
received.

The Consul adds, that everything was very tranquil hitherto,
and that I should see him soon on board the Victory. I
received letters from Mr. Fenwick informing me that the Danes
were fitting out more than double the number of privateers and
armed vessels than they did last year, intending, if possible,
to obstruct the passage of the convoys t
