THE NATIONAL REGISTER, twin», SUNDAY, JANUARY so, 1814. FABRICATED TREATY BETWE EN FERDINAND VII. AND IWO N A pARTE. The Papers last night contain, as coming from Lord Welling ton's head-quarters, a pretended treaty between Ferdinand VII. and Napoleon, by which the Spanish Monare, bound him self, on re-ascending his throne, to conclude an alliance with the latter, and to send away the English troops from Spain, Ceuta and Mahon. Whether this information really carne from Lord Wellington's head-quartets or first appeared in this metropolis, it is evident that it originated in the offices of the French police. The Plenipotentiary of Ferdinand VII. is represented to have been the Duke Del San Carlos, Grandee of Spain, who had shared his master's captivity, and was in Switzerland when it was thought proper to make him exert the influence which he possesses over his Sovereign's mind to induce that Prince to sign the treaty. To disprove this tale, it is only necessary to state, that no Duke of San Carlos was ever detained with Ferdinand VII. The Infant Don Carlos had, indeed, slimed his brother's confinement, but Napo leon would not have given him leave to repair to Switzerland, or employed him as his agent in this business, as his high spirit was too well known to encourage a belief that he would ever condescend to advise a base compl:ance with the wishes Sun rises, 7b. ie7m.
