spite of his character. The r2itilt from this narrative is
that the dissentious between CHARLES and his Son. were fo.
meuted by the intrigues of the Emperor NAPOLEON, an
that having thus divided the kingdom, and distracted the
Court, he endeavoured to obtain admission in the charactv•
of an arbiter of their differences. In plain words,
created an anarchy, a confusion, a general dissolution o
ail law and government, in order that the Spanish peopl,-
mig,ht be wearied by the scene of disorder presented !,;
them, and call in his assistance for their relief. The pa-
triotism of the Spanish people defeated his ambitious pur-
pose, and rendered it necessary for him to conquer the
kingdom, which he had previously determined he would
only steal.

This pariciilal attempt of Prince FERDINAND is imputed
to the seductions of England and English Counsels. We
conceive it unnecessary to say even a word upon this sub-
ject. It is not consistent with the principles of our ordi-
nary administration, nor would it be pardoned in any Mi-
nistry, thus to foment domestic disorders, and family feuds,
in the household of sovereigns. Such purposes may be
compatible with French intrigue, but if an English agent
were to conduct himself upon such principles, he would be
visited by the most exemplary punishment. Not a man in
tha kingdom would be found to stand up in his defence.
Upon the whole, this Report k replete with fallacies. There
a.-e parts of it, however, which are more important than
its misrepresentations. Snell are those passages ,in which
some light is thrown on the future intentions of the Em-
peror NAeoLcoN. By the collation of those parts, it is the
evident deii.,;n of the French Elll'EnOß to reduce Aus:ria
to the standard of a secondary power in Germany. In a
conversation with the King of BAVARIA, he is stated to
have said, that he would render him greater than any 01
ancestors,—that he hereafter shou:d be a match for the
renperor FRA7Zcri, and that Amnia. should a very
short period cease to have the power of troubling the re-
pose of Germany.

lallm:retl ckfener: of the innocence of the i'rench Govern-
/nenil ail desi;;;ns againit Turkey. It vsol:14 f;cem from

of fact, r'e he!ieve that Allis is tree. Tur',i.ev has been a

The Empeior Af.L.-;AN DEns to all appearance, has ai;reed,
that if l'rance allow him to pursue his dcs:,4ii3 on Turkey,
