I cannot explain how Swedenborg came to know the contents of that letter, but I can affirm on my honor, that neither Count H---- (as the writer of the article states) nor any other person intercepted, or read, the queen's letters.

The senate allowed her to write to her brother in perfect security, considering the correspondence as of no interest to the State.

It is evident that the author of the said article is ignorant of the character of Count H----.

This honored gentleman, who has done many important services to his country, unites the qualities of a noble heart to gifts of mind, and his great age has not yet weakened these precious possessions.
During his whole administration he added the weight of scrupulous integrity to his enlightened policy and openly declared himself the enemy of all secret intrigues and underhand dealings, which he regarded as unworthy means to attain an end.

Neither did the writer of that article understand the Assessor Swedenborg.
