San Carlos in• Madrid, until" liis tlep artere from
that capital. Your Excellency will see in t4iis
communication an unequivocal proof of the. frank;
ness with which the Government has acted in
:his•affair, and, in the declarations made to the
:said Duke : you will also .see therein a proof still
wore distinguished of the fidelity of the Govern-
went tai those principles which it has recognised,
--not choosing even to toter into explanations, •
lioWever flatter ing they might be, without the in-
tervention and concurrence of the British Cabinet,
as well as of those. other Cabinets which, haYing
engaged in this war,. are guided- by the same
principles of honour to defend a cause as just as
it is sacred.
" The Duke of San Carlos arrived at Araujuez
• in the night of the 4th instant,. and being pre-
tieilted to the Regency, he delivered-to them a
letter from the King of Spain, Don Ferdinand VII.

good, state of his health, and of that of his dear
brother and his uncle, the infants Don Carlos

ed, that. he bad been spontaneously invized
by the Eniperor. Napoleon, through the . tae-
thorn of his Aniba9sador, the Count de Lafo-

founded on the restoration of his Royal Person ;

States ; and exempt, from every clause ,rniconfor-
wable to the honour, the dignity, and interest of.
the Spanish nation ; in consequence of which,
his Majesty had authorised the Duke of San Car-
los to treat in the name of his Majesty, about. an
object so important, with Count Laforest, the.
: Plenipotentiary named by Napoleon to that effect ;
- and that this teaty being happily concluded, he-
had sent it to the Regency by the said Duke, in
order .that the ratifications might be drawn up iti
- due form. Your Excellency. will seeethis treat Tia
the copy subjoined.
"'The Regency, without vacillating, without

ment, treaty, or even form of truce, shall be en-

fect liberty; influenced also by the treaty with
