" Venerable Father and Lord--I deposited in the r , .%-al hands of your Majesty on the Ist instant, the renunciation of the: Crown in your favour. I have believed it to be obligatory upon 're to modify the renunciation by such conditions as were agreeable to the respect due to your Majesty, to the tranquillity of my demi talons, and to the preservation of my honour and character. It is not without great astonishment, that I have seen indignation pro &seed in the royal mind of your Majesty, by modifications dic tated by prudence, and called for by the love that I bear to my subjects. Without any other ground, your Majesty thought proper to Insult me in the presence of my venerable Mother, and of the Em peror, by appellations the most humiliating; and not content with this, you require my renunciation without any conditions or re strictions, under pain that I, and those who composed my council, should be treated as conspirators. In such a situation of things, I make the renunciation which your Majesty commands that you may return to the Government of Spain, in the state in which you were on the 19th March, when your Majesty made the spon taneous abdication of your Crown in my favour. " May GOD preserve the valuable life of your Majesty many years, which is the prayer of your loving and dutiful son, prostrate at your royal feet. (Signed) " TIRDINAND. " Bayonne, 6th May, 1108." No. Xi. Note of the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, M. de Chant pagny, in Reply to one from D. Pedro Cevallos, in which it is complained, that a Cabinet Courier dispatched by order of Ferdinand the Vllth with Documents for Madrid, had been detained, and in which he applied for Passports for another. " The Minister for Foreign Affairs has received the Note which Seignor de Cevallos did him the honour to address to him, complaining of the obstruction of the courier of his Excellency. This measure was occasioned by a notification, that his Imperial Majesty had required, that no other King should be acknow ledged than Charles the IV. From this results as a necessary consequence, that the Emperor cannot admit in his territory any act in the nature of a passport given in the name of any other King, and for the same reason that the Minister could not coun tersign the new passport which Seignor Cevallos had sent him.— But he hastens to apprise you, that all the letters which the cou rier conveyed, and which have been detained, have been put into the hands of the French Postmaster, who will provide that they shall be sent to Burgos and Madrid with the greatest punctuality, and the same will be done as to all others, that the Spaniards, whether in France or Spain, choose to have conveyed, either by the ordinary post, or by a French Courier. All will be trans ported to their respective destinations with the most scrupulous exactness, and the correspondence between the two States, far from experiencing any interruption, will acquire new activity. " M. de Champagny, in sending this note to Seignor De Ceval los, has the honour to assure bins of his high consideration*. " Bayonne, April 29, 1808." • While the Emperor intreated the King to reneunce the throne in hi favour, no difficulty was made in countersigning the passports that I gave in his Royal name, but as soon as the French Government saw its hopes disappointed, it refused passports to every dispatch. No. XII. Resignation by Seignor D. Pedro Cevallos of his Office of Minis ter for Foreign Affairs, into the hands of Joseph Napoleon, on the 28th of July. Sir—At the time your Majesty had the goodness to invite me to continue in the employment of Minister for Foreign Affairs, I believed that I ought to submit to your notice some reflections, according to which your Majesty could neither have the least cc.nfidence in me, or I the least security in your Majesty's pro tection, since I found myself injured, and easefully watched by the Emperor your august brother, whose influence over your Majes ty's mind entild be in no respect favourable to me. 4 ' Your Majesty persisted in your resolution, telling me that you were anxious to have near you persons possessing the esteem of the nation; but I having no other wish than to return to my na tive land, which had been denied me after two in nths applica tion to his Imperial and Royal Majesty, it was necessary for me to accept the nomination of your Majesty, to put an end to the lamentable separation from my family, and my fellow countrymen, reserving always the right which no one can renounce, of adhering to the vote of the majority of the nation, in case it should nat be disposed to acknowledge your Majesty for their Sovereign. " To your Majesty I have since shewn, that Spain is almost unanimously opposed to recognize you as King; and if this claim be wanting to you, there Is no other by which your Majesty can continue Sovereign of these kingdoms. Thus circumstanced, I should be a traitor to my own principles, if I were to continue to exercise a Ministerial capacity, accepted under sush circum stances, and not from a devise to have any influence in the Go- vernment of your Majesty, which I renounce from this moment, to go into retirement, where I will consecrate to my unhappy country my wishes and tears for its calamities and distresses, which I should be glad to remove, for the happiness of a nation noble, generous, loyal, and brave. APPENDIX Respecting the manner in which the Grand Duke of Berg obtain• ed by surprise an order from the Junta of Government to deli ver over to him the person of the prisoner D. Manuel Godoy. " Ever dace the Grand Duke of Berg, Lieutenant-General of the armies of the Emperor, set his foot on the territory of Spain, he endeavoured, by every possible artifice, to impress a general opinion, that he came for our happiness, and to effect certain useful reforms in our Government ; studiously giving it out, that he would protect the cause of the Prince of Asturias, and that he would oppose the Prince of Peace, who was the object of univer sal hatred with the nation. Neither did he neglect to give forth some hints of the great influence of the Queen in public effairs. It was very well known that this only was necessary to captivate the affections of the oppressed Spaniards; and SiRCC his mission bad for its object what we have since seer., it must be acknow ledged, that the calculations of the Emperor of the French his Muter were well-grounded. " As, however, all things in this world are subject to change, the ever-memorable movements at Aranjuez occurred, and sub verted all this plan. Scarcely had the Grand Duke of Berg be come acquainted with them, than he alters his scheme, and ap peared to take a great interest in the fate of Don Manuel Godoy, with whom he held correspondence of the nearest intimacy, al though he was not personally known to him. It was not conceal ed from Isis sagacity, that the Royal Parents took great interest in the protection of their favourite. Then it was that he began to take the most efficacious measures to liberate Godoy from prison; but all this was ineffectual as long as their beloved king Ferdinand VII. remained as Madrid. " The Grand Duke of Berg was not dismayed by this cir• eumstence; but scarcely had his Majesty arrived at Burgos, when he renewed his application to obtain what he had long wished; threatening, in case a negative was given, that he would use the fore* at his disposal to effect his purpose. " The Junta, nevertheless, resisted Isis first application, and consulted the King as to what they ought to do in such crirical circumstances. His Majesty was pleased to acquaint tlicrn with the answer he had given on the same subject to the Emperor of the French, who had himself solicited the release of the prisoner; and which answer is as fn lows: • The Crand Puke of Berg and the Ambassador of your Im perial and Royal Majesty have, on different occasions, made ver bal applications that von Manuel Godoy, prisoner Inc a crime against the Stxe in the Royal Palace of Villaviciosa, should be put at the disposal of your Majesty. • Nothing would be more agreeably personally to myself than to accede to your wishes, but the consequences would be so se rious if I were to do so, that I thiek it right to submit them to the prudent consideration of your Majesty. ' Consistently with one of the duties of my situation, which is to administer justice to my people, I have ordered the most dignified of the tribunals of my kinBdorn to judge Don Alannel Godoy ac cording to the laws. I have promised to my people that I would Publish the rail! of &process on which depends the honour of a great number of my subjects, and the preservation of the rights of any Crown. Throughout the whole extent of my dominions, there is not a single district, however small. which has not addres sed complaints to the throne against the prhoner. An my subjects have signified their joy in a remarkable from the moment that they were inforred (tithe arrest of Dos ' 7s luel Godoy, and t„...„.• • she deetkon thisan have their ey es icause Your Majesty, a wise legislator anti a great warrior, can easily determine tie weight of these considerations; but if your Majesty feel yourself interested in the life of D. Manuel Godoy, I give you my royal word, that if, after a full examination of his case, be should be condemned to death, I will remit that punishment, in consequence of the interposition of your Imperial Majesty. May GOD preserve the life of your Imperial Majesty many years." (Signed) ' FERDINAND.. ' Vittoria, April IS, IttOn.' " The Royal order of the same date also apprised the Junta, that if the Grand Duke of Berg renewed ids applications in favour of Godoy, he should be answered, that this business wus in treaty be tween the two Sovereigns, and that the result depended exclusive ly on the decision of the King. His Majesty having been informed that his royal parents (ill informed no doubt) had complained to the Grand Duke of the ill treatment of the Prince of Peace in his prison, his Majesty commanded me, notwithstanding his convic tion of the delicate treatment observed by the Marouis Castelar, that I should direct him, that the greatest care shou:d be taken of the health of the prisoner, which I did under the same date. " Scarcely had the Emperor received the letter of the King, when with his accustomed haughtiness he abused it, and wrote to the Grand Duke of Berg, truing him that the Prince of Asturias had put prisoner, Don Manuel Godoy, at his disposal, and cons mandiag him vigorously to claim the surrender of his person. No thing more was necessary for Murat, whose character is naturally daring and violent, and he sent the following note to the Junta:— The Finywror and King having informed his Imperial and Royal Hig:iness the Grand Duke of Berg, that his Royal High ! ness the Prince of Asturias had just written him, telling him that , be referred the fate of the Prince of Peace to his disposal; his Highness in consequence directs me to inform the Junta of the in ' tentions of the Emperor, on ateourt of which I repeat the request for the delivery of the person of the Prince, that he may be sent 1 into France.' ' This detc rtnin at ion of his Royal Highness the Prince of Astu rias, net -hips, has not yet reached the Junta. In this case it ap pears that his Royal Highness-must wait for the answer of his Majesty the Emperor; but the Junta will see, that to answer the Prince of Asturias will be to decide a differew_ question, and it is known that his Imperial Majesty cannot recognize as King any other than Charles IV. ' I beg the Junta to take this note into their consideration, and to have the goodnessto answer me on the subject, in order to give an explanation to his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke, of their decision. ... • The Government and the Spanish nation will see in this reso lution of his imperial Majesty, only a new proof of the interest he takes in Spain; because, in removing to a distance the Prince of Peace, he wishes to deprive malevolence itself of the possible belief that King Charles will restore to power and to confidence one whom he has resigned for ever ; and further, the Junta of Government certainiy will de justice to the exhalted sentiments of his Majesty the Emperor, who would not abandon his faithful ally. I have the honour to offer to the Junta the assurance of my high consideration. ' The General in Chief of the Etat Major• General, Madrid, April CO, 1808. • AvorsTo BELLIARD. " He added, verbally, to this note such atrocious and unheard of threats, that the Junta, no doubt fearful lest they should be rea lized, and that the tranquillity of Madrid would be shaken, had the weakness to accede to the proposition, and commanded the Marquis de Castelar, by order of the King, the same night, to de liver up the prisoner, which, In fact, was done with great repug nance on his part, and on the part of all the Office s who bad him in custody. " A proper regard for truth requires that it should be said, that Don Francisco Gil, Secretary of State and of Marine-kill:in., and in consequence Member of the Junta of Cover: matt, oppte.ed the surrender of the prisoner, because it was nut authorized by the King. • " It is difficult to conceive how, after such din rt aces as those that are stated, the Junta of Government should proceed to in form the Council and the public, by the means of two Exraordi- Rary Gazettes, that the Prince of Peace had been delivered up by order of the King. The same difficulty recurs, how this • Junta could endeavour to excuse its weakness, distorting expressions of the official correspondence; as for example, a passage in the Dispatch addressed to the Council, which this Tribunal, in its Manifest, folio 14 of the Qr.arto, cites in the following terms : ' As to what respects the prisoner Don Manuel Godoi, the King commands me to inform the Juitta, In order that they may make the proper use of this notice, that his hlajosty esteems too highly the wish expressed by theEznperor of the French, not to gratify it, extending at the same time generwity In favour of a criminal who had offended the Royal Person.' " With little reflection, it ought to have oreurred to them, that this supposed order was not intended to give liberty to the prisoner, but that the King was disposed to extend gent osity towards him out of respect to the Emperor. In order to kre.w what species of generosity this was, it was only necessary to rieur to the decree which his Majesty addressed to the Council, and which it has in serted, folio 15 of the same edition. Under the same date of the 18th of April. a royal order was addressed to the Marquis de Cas telar, notwithstanding his Majesty's firm persuasion that his Royal Parents laboured ender a mistake, direcrlng that every care should be taken of the health of the prisoner; and if at the same time the King had commanded that the Junta of Gevern:a.nt should have set him at liberty,such a precaution with regard to his health would have been idle and ridiculous. Besides this, v. hen the Junta of Government gave an account to the King of the considerations and motives that they had for setting the prisoner at liberty, which are the same that have been stated, his Majesty commanded mt to reply in the following terms • The King is trade acquainted with the motives, the Junta of Government had for the delivery of the prisoner without his oidee " The two chief Officers of the first Secretary of State, and Of the Cabinet of his Majesty, and his Secret:a-it a of Decrees, Dom Eusebio de Bardaxi y Azara, and Don Luis de Onis (through whose hands they were passed) certify this statement of the Junta, and cf the reply of the King. , " I have considered it to be my duty to publish these transar tiona, that the whole nation may be informed of the circumstances w:iich occasioned the surrender of Don Manuel Godol, which is falsely attributed to his Majesty, who never could think of aban doning the solemn promise he gave to his beloved people, to judge him according to the laws and that we should on this account be More strongly confirmed in the ardent affection we cherish for our beloved King Ferdinand VII. whom Goo restore as soon as possible, for the completion of our happinees.

No !evolution in France ought to be believed, but on the most authentic testi mony. Old men and women cannot cause one. Those who are in otfices, both civil and military, being the creatures of the tyrant, have an interest in supporting him ; for in no other state of things can they secure what they imagine to be their interest ; and the sol diers, who alone have power under a military govern ment, are in foreign countries brutalized by the free gratification of their passions, and by the acquisition of plunder. France will not rise till the Spanish forces enter to release their beloved Ferdinand, and deliver good Frenchmen from the tyrant who disgraces and oppresses them. MADRID, SEPTEMBER 14. It is affirmed that the sailors of the Toulon squa dron are in a state of insurrection, and that it is the cause of the departure of the English squadron from Cadiz. It is necessary that we should be on mir guard against such intelligence, which the French themselves spread, in order that we may sink into an apathy, and indulge a confidence not only imprudent, but even so pernicious, that under the present circumstances EVENI ‘G STAR.

The re port is unfounded. The UNICORN left Bilboa on the', 2d instant, but only brings a confirmation of the ex pulsion of the enemy from that place. General MERLE retired rapidly on Vittoria, tvith little more than 2000 men- This post is of such im portance, that it was expected the enemy would make the greatest exertions to re-occupy it. It was under- stood at Bilboa that 12,000 men had been detached from BILSSIERES'S army for that purpose, but means were adopting to defeat the object of the enemy. A general engagement was expected every day, and two English frigates, the Cossacx and IRIS, remained off Bilboa to bring over the official details. BLAKE'S army is estimated at 80,000 men—that of the enemy at about half that number. The principal intelligence brought by the Heligo land Mail was the fact we gave yesterday—that the Russian Directing Senate had protested against the EmPEnon's journey to meet NAPOLEON. What may result from the rejection of this hint time alone can spew. The length and importance of the Exposition by DON PEDRO egvAttos, obliges us to confine our ex- 1 tracts from this Mail to a few paragraphs. A park ofartillery which requires 2700 horses to trans port it, is in full march to Erfurth. Is this intended to dazzle the eyes of ALEXANDER with the warlike re sources of the great Nation, or is the annihilation of the Austrian Monarchy to be one of the first objects of the renewed cc,alition between France and Russia ? An article in the Hamburgh Correrponcleaten, dently of French dictation, labours to make it appear, that Russia derives great benefit from her present connection with France, and that the peace of the Continent is not likely to be disturbed. Another ar• tide asserts, that there is no probability of any rup ture between Russia and Austria. The jealousy and Suspicion which BONAPARTE entertains of Austria, is , manifested not only in the Paris Papers, but in all those Journals over which he has any controul. It had been asserted in the French Papers, that the Em peror of AusrmA intended to be present at the inter view between the Emperor ALEXANDIR and BONA. PARTE ; but these papers state that this rumour is not confirmed. It is stated in some accounts, that the object of BONAPARTE, in this interview, was to iaduce the Emperor ALSZANDIER to compel Austria to enter into a triple alliance. There is little doubt, that the overwhelming or the overawing of Austria will be matter of discussion at the interview, if the Emperor ALEXANDER can so far degrade himself as to bec ome the abject tool of BONAPARTE. The wretched King of PRUSSIA has been obliged to dismiss one of his Ministers, because he had rendered himself obnoxious to NAPOLEON. FREDERICK had solicited to be admitted intp the Confederation of the Rhine. His request was ref. sed, and an intimation superadded, that the Frei - ch would not evacuate Prussia for the present! Private letters from the Elbe, dated the 20th and 23d ult. state that the Spanish troops in the North o f Europe were daily arriving at Harburg, on the Elbe, to be embarked for France as prisoners of war. Th e y are treated with brutal severity by their French teas. ters : many of them are tied down in waggons, a n d their only food is bread and water. One of the private letters from the vicir.itr Hamburgh, states, that an American ship 1 ,. sail from Hamburgh about the 10th of Octacr, 4 special leave of the French Government. As the Con su l at that place, Mr. FORBES, IS a most determined Anti. - Englishman, or rather an avowed enemy of the Bti• tish, it might net be amiss that some of our cruizeis should be on the look-out for this vessel. A Gentleman, who recently quitted the Island of Teneriffe, arrived in town yesterday. By him we leans, that the Governor who had been imprisoned, was tried by a Court-martial, and feuntfuilty. He k was a partizan of the French, and written tt Spain, assuring the Provisional Government that the people would not acknowledge FERDINAND VII.

" There is no person at Madrid who can assume such a title ; the undersigned is the only accredited agent as Charge des Affaires from the Court of Vienna. He has never received any letters from his Court of the import of the said translation ; much less has he written such. In consequence, he is obliged publicly to protest against the insinuation, as to the origin of what is there said, and against those articles and that intelligence being attributed to an agent from the Court of Vienna in this sapitaL 1 Madrid, Sept. 19, 1805.

All the Court Officers, therefore, made their ap pearance; and for the ceremony, in the balcony a rich canopy was erected, under which was plated a portrait of his Majesty, with the accustomed Royal body guard. " To the right of the picture stood the said Marquis, accom panied by the Council of State, M.

" It is not easy to express the feelings of all these individuals, who at the same time that they shed tears of joy at witnessing the enthusiasm of this loyal and illustrious city, and at beholding them selves relieved from the oppression they had suffered durint four months, were at the same time deprived of the sweet object of ' their desires, deeming themselves orphans through the absence of the most beloved of Sovereigns, whom they had the happiness to serve.
