This was one of the PODs in my failed multi-POD thread.
so to quote myself from the thread:
"1: Sweden keeps St. Barthelemy AND Guadeloupe [8]"
"[8] Basically Sweden never sells or gives away St. Barthelemy and Guadeloupe remains with the Swedish to the present due to them not acquiring Norway as a compensation for Finland, they don't give it back to France and they're recognised as Swedish territory by the new treaty resulting in Norwegian Independence."
So... is this plausible
(Norwegian Independence was a separate POD within the Multi-POD scenario, just ignore that for this thread.)
Oh, and just to give some background:
"By the Anglo-Swedish alliance of 3 March 1813, Britain ceded it to Sweden for a brief period of 15 months. During this time, the British administration remained in place and British governors continued to govern the island. In the Treaty of Paris of 1814, Sweden ceded Guadeloupe once more to France. An ensuing settlement between Sweden and the British gave rise to the Guadeloupe Fund. The Treaty of Vienna in 1815 definitively acknowledged French control of Guadeloupe."

): he was quite good in emphasizing his service to Sweden while never forgetting his own interests. For example, as a compensation for Pomerania Sweden received from Prussia 3.5 million thalers and release from paying compensation to Denmark. For brokering this deal Bernadotte, by a secret item of the Swedish-Prussian agreement, got 1.5 millions personally. Well, he needed the funds to maintain himself and his family.
