In the former, the Prince of ASTURIAS, after many flattering professions of bis confidence In the Emperor, requests the honour of an alli ance with his fancily, declaring that he will ever refuse with invincible constancy to ally himself to any female whatever, without the consent and positive approbation of his Imperial Majesty, fr 9 whom alone he expects the. choice of a WM. 6 The French paper says, " This letter was re ceived by the Emperor when, at Funtaiiibleau, Ir.. ,i the Prince of ASTURIAS, of mhons he scarce (q knew the existence. No step had preceded it, and hie Majeity saw distinctly that it was intend ed to gipe to the _affairs of Spain a direction op posite to is interests; for the . persons wbo had Iscluedd the Prince of AVIURIAS to mate this dc. ailed, knew well that the Empotor had no Prin. cogs- to give in marriage.

In this letter the KiiVinforms him, that be had discovered that a most dreadful spi rit of intrigue had penetrated into the very ints. tier of hit palece, and that lia t ildest son, the pre semptive li air to the throne, formed a plot to dethrone binyand had even gone so far as to at tempt the Woof his mother. " The Emperor could no longer doubt the ex istence'of daueerous intrigues, and recognized the plot, of England, notwithstanding the obscurity in which it wee endeavoured to envelope them.— He insosediall* determined to cause his troopi to *arch, to be einu(p i for every teen:, and to sup port the army which he had in Portugal., Forty thousand men were directed to repair to Spain, and this precaution was useful, since three months afterwards the events at A ranjus took place, and the Emperor received the letters aid pieces found in the Woad part." eibillb t • 'No. I. is s letter from• Bing Cuaatis IV. to the Em peror. dated March 19, 1808, and expressing the resolution of the *user, to suer the Palace of Piaci to resign, ac riording to his No. .111. banal:natter from King °HAULM' IV. to the Selperer, dated Araisjues, March • 27, 1802, declaring his reo*tiost, in emwerpreoce of the infirm state of 61$ health, to alldlease his Gram, and seek a milder climate. 310. 111. 1 Oother letter froirKieg Ca ARLES to the Em riesysl.didoted March 97, 1808, with his proteitatius against .

Were you consulted with by any, of his Ma. jesty's'Ministcts previously to the sailing of the. Expedition ? I was not consulted by any of his Majesty's Ministers, but I had ,a conversation with Lord Castlereagh at Deal, Which, I did nut. consider to be otbbial, it was merely accidental. Did that conversation regard the, EsPetliti6ol It (lid. Have the goodness to state the substance of that conversation, and thesdate of it t—lt first related. to the state of the weather, which 1 represented as a very uufavourable batch of weather at that sea. son of the year ' • the date I believe was the 24th of July, the day before I received my orders to pro. ceed off Walcheren. Ilia Lordship mentioned to me then the object of tiserEapedition, and spoke of the measures to be pursued. I observed to his Lordship, that if the fleet of the enemy at Antwerp was considered the great object of the kixpetlitiou, thit I toped **should not find ourielees involved in the siege of Ifjushing,,nr the operations in Wal , .. elteren, but 'ffipeittsithbuld proceed on to the ultimate *get wi*lkt delay. On his Lord .ship gatadillalat sae as to as; knowledge of Wel chered, I iaformed him that 1 bad nu other than what I procured fronf.the charts, add that 1 conceived from that knowledge, that the better way probably . vroald be top up the East Scheldt; his Lordship replied, that that had been in con. temptation, but that it had been given op on a further consideration. 1•010 represented, from the veryebad batch of smOer we had it that time, I much feared, vales 'a ilvourable changq took place, that we ran great risk by carrying a fleet so very numerous epos that coast, for that certainly the weather was of $ worse stamp than we might reasonably have expected at that season of the year. That war the substance of tile conversation that I had with Lord Castlereagh. . Can you state what further conversation took place, in consequence of your suggestion that no time should be Ist in the attack of Walchereti and Flushing ?—Lord Castlereagh rather heard what I bad to• say, than eppeared desirous, I thought, of asking me particularly, not do I re. member if he made any observation upon tbat subject. Do you know whether any plan was concerted for 'the attack of Antwerp ?—No, I do not.— I knew that Antwerp was the ultimate ob. ject of the Expedition, brit as to trip plan, I knew not of any, except that I utideretood part of the fleet 'were to have gnhe up the West Scheldt, ,but tho mode of attack upon An.. twerp I did not know, nor did I even know at that time the plate at which it. was ithetsded to disembark the army. In the first question I was asked, whether I was consulted by his Majesty's Ministers; I should state, I was sent for to town, and was informed by the First Lord of the Admi. ratty that I was to go upon the Expetil'ion, but I was net °molted ; I was nets, Wormed that I was tugs, and what the object of the Expedition was, and the Officers that were going, but I woo asked no question. [A great part of the remainder of the Evidence relates to the piogress of the Naval part of the Ex pedition, which has already been fully detailed. We.shall extract the most interesting passages.) Were you acquainted with the state of Lille, and the boom across the rivet it that place ? 1 ,had the advantage only of seeing Lillo within a few miles from the chip in which my flag was hoisted, and on my approaching nearer it in veal ler vessels, I was never nearer I presume than three miles and a heifer four mile," ; the boom was early thrown across, I am not certain of the day, for I am not sure that we perceived it immediately; but I think it must have been thrown across the 14th of August. , ' . Dofou mean that it was not thrown across the river earlier than the 14th of August ? Their flotilla retired to Liltu on the 11th, on the arri val of our flotilla, and, I think, en the 13th went above the boom. I think on the 13th or the 14th the boom wet thrown across, when their flotilla was all above the boom. It was then that the boom was closed ; probap bly it had been • constructed some timetefore ?—I presume it is always in construction ready to be thrown across. Were you consulted with respect to the poisi bility of forcing the passage ?...I was present at a conversation on the subject of Lille and Lief. kenshoeik with my Lord Chatham , Sir Richard I Sseacban, *and ieterel. geoerol_ Officer!, on the 26th of August. . 1 State what took place in that conversation ? It respected the advance of the army, and the measures to be taken for getting possession of Lillo and Liefkenshoeik ; but the navigation be. ins open to where the river narrows, a little below Doel, it Was considered by Sir Richard Strachan that no farther measures could be taken in prosecution of the ultimate object but in con. junction with the army. Was it your opinion that the boom could have been forced ? If the boom could have been forced, I see no possible good that could have re sulted from it, except the forts of Lillo and . Lief. kenshoeik could have been taken possession of. Supposiqg it possible for the shipping •to have proceeded up tkeScheldttOwiteds Antwerp, in case the army were compelled to retreat, would it have been possible for the large vessels to have effected their retreat except with a very favourable wind? I hold it impossible for the fleet to have passed up the Scheldt, unaccompanied by the army. Their return in the event of the army retreating, in that narrow navigation, must have been greatly depen. _a _La --- .L.... ....:...... r-..- T I._ s!-__ AL— —L.----11 THE gTATFSMAN. r"itii , Vittfilie • SO the army ?'

Hare you any reason:to think that the far Botts of Lilio and Liefkenshoeik wet, tiol state of defence, and that they were net per with a sulficient number of guns at the time sailing of the Expedition ?—No, I have no, meant to allude to troops, which I was of op; the country was almost destitute of at the tit our first arrival. p '. ~ Then you have no reason to think that th were not in a perfect state of defence witb h to their works at the time•of your first •art No, certainly not. • .
