Out of a population of 1, 630, 000 there are, perhaps, about 80, 000 or 100, 000 Swedish proprietors, who entertain the same desires with Polish pro- prietors in the Ukrain or Volhynia, and would naturally be glad to have Finland reunited to their mother country. On the other hand, the Finnish proprietors will all say to you, what one of the late deputies to the Landtag said to me : ' Finland is a very small country, and as it is impossible for us to be quite independent, we get the nearest app...roach to it from the Eussian Government, which allows us to manage our own affairs as we please. We have our Landtag in our capital of Helsingfors, where the four Estates, the nobles, clergy, merchants, and peasants, meet to make our laws and impose taxes ; we have our little army and fleet ; our language and our religion are inviolate ; the Kussian service is open to our youth ; and, what is more, as we are a very poor country, we have a rich protector to fall back upon for our corn supply in case of dearth.
