Toutts, APRIL 4.•--The Emperor arrited in this-
town yesterday, at half-past twelve o'clock; he did
not stop, but passed through it, 'attended by► his
Guard of Honour, commanded by M. D. CONTADU,
Two hours before, a Spanish Ambassador had ar-
rived; he was a grandee of the first class, decorated
with all the orders, he was going to Paris with a
letter from the new King FERDINAND, to the Em-
peror of the French. Marshal Dunoc, who was in
the first carriage, alighted, and received the letter,
which he delivered to his Majesty, who, having
read it, replied, that he would give an audience to
the Ambassador at the next stage. Several peti-
tions were presented to his Majesty, which be re-
ceived with condescension. The Ambassador left
his carriage, and tools a cabriolet to follow the
Emperor. On the preceding evening, the whole
city of Tours was illuminated, and all the. Magi:
strates assembled at the Palace of the Archbishop,
supposing that his Majesty would alight there. The
Emperor sent Marshal Duaoc to the Archbishop to
express his concern that, he could not stop at Tours.

Posse, t.—Letters from- Madrid, which
we taie received, dated the 23d, 24th, and 25th
March, contain the details of the great events which
have taken place in that
.country: the followiug ap-
pear to us. the most worthy of notice. There was
grttatest agitation both at Madrid and Aranjuez,
on the night between the i sth and igth March.
The Prince of Peace, who was arrested by the mal-
contents, whose numbers had been increased by a
considerable number of the Guards, felt that he was
in the most imminent danger. The Prince of As-
turias with difficulty got to him. The Minister,
his enemy, begged his life. The Prince .proteiffed
hnn, though not without some danger to himself,
and cenduaed him to the guard house. Madrid for
four days was subject to no kind of police. No
murder • was committed, but eleven houses were
pillaged, viz. those of the mother, brothers, and
relatives of the. Prince of Peace, and those of the
two Ministers, .SOLER and SPINosA. The re-esta-
blishment of tranquillity did not begin to take place
at Madrid until the arrival of the King, who was
loudly called for by the people. The Proclamations
of FERDINAND VII. commanding the people to re-
ceive the French as brothers, was received with ac-
clam:aims. They were considered as deliverers
from the time of their arrival ; peace, enthusiasm,
and hope pervaded every breast.

A report was spread, that. the mother of the
Prince of Peai,e had fallen a sacriee to the grief,
wilich she felt at this drea.lful catastrophi-. On the
first day of the insurreelion at Aranjuez, some shots
•
wore fired from the Pilau. of the Prince of. Peace,,
but no one •,•:is

MADRID) MARCH 21.-;,--On the tech March, the
day before the'ahclication of the late King, he or-
dered the following Proclamation to be published :
" His Majesty having received intelligence that.
the French Troops willwill~ shortly pass through Ma-
drid, on their march to Cadiz, deigns to communi-
cate this circumstance to his C,onncil, and, at the
same time, declare his royal will, that the'French
Troops should be treated with all the friendship and
kindness which is due to the Army of the Emperor

cil have therefore issued the present Proclarnation,
and rely upon 'the loyalty of the people for a Aria.
obedience to the orders of the King.
(Signed) "BA RT1101.9 MEW Da ,Muses.''.

A Pamphlet has just been published hero, and
distributed in great numbers: it contains a detailed

acconnt of the political career of the Prince of Peace.
The following is an extract from it :

" Don 11,1mium, GODOY was born at Baditioz, of
st_ noble family. His studies were first directed to
the military acieucel and he entered early in life

into the Garde: du corps. One of his relation.? %lite,
enjoyed the favour of their Majesties, presented Bien
lo the Queen. He pleased her Majesty much
by the elegance of his make, and the grace
with which -he played upon the guitar, and
she procured him a high commission in the Guatds•
He was soon distinguished by the then Prime Nf inig-
ter, Count FLoaAna BLANCA, and was represented
as a young man likely to be of essential service to
Spain, from the knowledge he had obtained of
the politics of foreign Courts. The favour of the.
Xing soon followed that of the Queen and Ptittle
Minister, and he was shortly after created a Gran'
dee of Spain, Duke cif Alcudia, and Commander in
Chief of all the Armies of Spain. The disgrace of
the Prime Minister soon followed, end Don Goma'
having succeeded in re-establishing peambetween
France and Spain, be took the title of Prince of
Peace. But a most unexampled favour completed
his extraordindey good fortune. The. King granted
him the daughter of the infant Don Louts in mar-
riage, and he thus became united to the blood
royal. The Prince of Peace, it is said, was the
richest individual in Europe. There was a report
that by was married to a woman of the name of
LA TUDO, by whom he had children, but it
was probably unfounded, as she always has lived
with him as a mistress. The departure of Don*
na Ton° friun Aranjuez, in a post-carriage, wag
the signal of the Insurrection which took place there..
The people thinking that the Mistress of the Primi.
Minister was about to quit Spain *WI immens•
riches, stopped her carriage, crying out, 144.
live the King, and death to GoDeT."

This publication also contains some d4teilg ad*
private lite of the Prince: it states him io be disw*
lute, proud, venal, and avaricious; that he lavishi&
richei only, upon courresans•nithat be hesitated at 00,
means that could gratify his ambition. Thero
other details which excite the greiitest horror, but
must be recolleaed that this work was publiated tl.
day after the frill of the Minister.
