• TREATY
BETWEEN TILTONAPAIITF AND •FERDINAND VII.

The follovting version:of-the above transaction
conies from Lord: Wellington's head-quarters, and
is suppoTed to be collected from the communica-,
tions on the subject, transmitted to the Noble Mfir-
qhess by the-Spanish Government.
Buonaparte is now well - known to have been,
Jong'eneditating the stratagem which he has lately
endeavoured to play off against Ferdinand, and he
imagined that he had reached the moment when
it was fully ripe for execution. The instruments
he employed in executing it were the Duke del St.
Carlos, a Grandee of Spain of the first class, and
Gen. Clarke, we believe the now soi-disant Duke
tic Feltre. It happened that the Duke dcl Carlos was
at the moment in Switzerland, where Buonaparte
bad permitted hint to reside for some time. 'He'
orderfd an express to be sept for him. ,We must
here obser‘vei that the Duke del Carlos was taken'
with Ferdinand at Bayonne, and that he has sirtce,
been a companion of Ferdinand's
_captiVity.. But
it is more essential to the present purpose,
_to .re-
mark that he was known to posseSs an extraordi-,
nary degree of influence over Ferdinand's
It is well known also that Buonaparte has fora.
length of time employed persons evho have inces-
santly inculcated on Ferdinand's fears, that the
pretended exertions of the English, for,what they
called the vindication, of the independence of Spain,
was only a cloak to their secret design of seizing
on the country far themselves. It is said, that
Ferdinand listened to these insidious suggestio'ns,
and yielded accordingly._ The Duke del Carlos
was then appointed Negociator on the part of
Ferdinand, and General Clarke on the part of Na-
poleon, and they were sent to the Chateau de Val-
leney
.to draw up articles, and to have the Treaty
signed. The substance of the condition was, that,
'in resuming the supreme authority in his domi-
nions,'Ferdinand should make an alliance with
Buonaparte, and drive the English from Spain,
Cents,. and Mahon.
