629.—Extracts from the Jour.
nal of a French Traveller on the day on whist
King Ferdinand left Madrid

" March 20.—1 t is nine o'clock in the morning, and I write
with a heart overwhelmed with grief. I have just seen the
King and all the Royal Family depart, without one efibrt be,
ing made by the terrified inhabitants of the capital to pre-
vent it.

" It was precisely eight o'clock when King Ferdinand was
conveyed from his Palace in a sedan chair, as far as the avenue
of lilacs (a promenade made according to a plan projected by
Joseph Bitonaparte) ; there he waited for his carriages, and
thence he. was secretly conducted to the road leading to the
bridge of Toledo.

" The King, pale, dejected, and exhausted, was in the first
carriage with the young Queen, who wept, and appeared in
great consternation. The two Infants, with their families, as
also the Infant of Portugal, followed in three private carriages ;
they appeared equally overwhelmed with sorrow. There were
six other carriages for the Court suite.
" There were but few persons assembled on the spot where
I was ; but most of those who witnessed this mournful spec_
tacle, with sorrowful accents bade farewell to their Sove-
reign ; and I, although I was not born a Spaniard, could
not refrain front tears, as much on account of the evils re-
served for the Royal Family as of the apathy of the inhabitants
of Madrid.
" The King and his suite, at the moment I saw them; were
only escorted by a detachment of the Sugunta cavalry,
about forty men of the mounted National Guard, and sixteen
Monntain Chasseurs • but on the Place of the Constitution,
there were from 7 to WOO Infantry and Cavalry, with two pieces
of cannon, who proceeded to the Bridge of Toledo, to join the

Royal convoy. At the bridge where the escort was to form
in order, much confusion prevailed. The blockade of nume-
rous carriages, the parting of many of the wives of the Na-
tional Guard, the 'exclamations, " Liberty for ever ! Indepen-
dence for ever !" al' ogether exhibited a scene which deeply af-
fected my heart.
" A great number of the shops were still closed at 10 o'clock,
and many persons would not believe the King's departure ; but
those who did not doubt of its having taken place, were pene-
trated with intense sorrow. Some iihed hitter but fruitless tears,
others reproached themselves wolf the total disregard which the
capital had shewn towards the King and the Royal Family ; in
fact, the 20th of March will be a day of ill omen in the annals

of to-day contain nothing but declamations
of Spanish
.lohuirsntoarly. s .
,
against the French Government, and the decree for the forma-
tion
of a third army of reserve, composed of the 9th and 10th
military districts, comprising all Andalusia, under the orders of ;
Lieut.-General Villa Campa. It is a fine thing to form armies
of reserve, but at the same time soldiers are wanting to corn-
pose them, and this want will be felt in the formation of a third,
as was the case with the two former.
" March 21.—Two companies of the National Guard came
in yesterday evening from Valdemoros ; the. Count d'Abisbal
having caused them to retrograde and wait for the departure
of the Cortes.
" In spite of all that has been said and repeated of the de-
feats of Bessieres, this Chief re-entered Guadalaxara on the
10th. He had made prisoners from three to four hundred
troops who. wore in that town. His First Adjutancy, Isodro, at
the head of a a handful of men, twice passed through that town,
and after having taken seven sappers and an officer, he with-
drew to decoy the enemy about a league and a half from Al-
cala, where he defeated them. The Constitutionalists lost 60
men killed and 60 taken prisoners.
" Ten o'Clock P. M.—We have just learned that the august
Captives, although they set °flat eight o'clock in the morning,
only arrived at Aranjuez at eight in the evening.
The Royal convoy is numerous, and proceeded but slowly
lon the first day. The National Guard became so fatigued,
it is said, that they compelled the King's carriages tb stop
several times, complaining that they were not able to follow
them.
" Madrid will soon have no other Journals than Marios
(viejo y nnevo ) ; the four Ministerial Journals follow their
patrons to Seville. The Patriot, (Opposition Journal) has
not been published the last two days ; and the King's Advo-
cate, doubtless, dares not say any thing for fear of the Diable
Boiteux ; this is the nickname given to l'Abisbal, who is in
fact lame.
" March 22.—Bessi6res is now almost entirely master of the
environs of the capital ; nothing can oppose his movements ;
the small proportion of cavalry which was watching him has
been recalled, to form part of the Royal escort. After hav-
ing gained several advantages over the Constitutionalists,
whom he moreover treated with great generosity, he holds him-
self in Guadalaxara, with the intention, doubtless, of marching
upon Madrid.
" The Cortes set of to-morrow with the Council of State and
several functionaries; but the most mutes of the Deputies,
such as Salvato, Gonzales, Alonzo, and others, have already
left the capital under various pretexts, chiefly, as the ysaid,
to regulate their family affairs ere they went to Seville.
" It is affirmed that the Royalist Chiefs are combining their
movements, in order to surprise the Deputies on their route;
with a view, in the first place, to keep them as hostages to gua-
ranty the safety of the King and,Royal Family, and also to pa-
ralyze the course of the Constittitional system.
" It is in order to fulfil thjs plan that Bessieres is occupied in
assembling all his forces, and those of the other several
Royalist Chiefs, while 12,000 insurgents of the kingdom
of Valencia will descend into Andalusia' to cut off' the retreat
of the convoys which will leave Madrid. The horrible pro-
ett which the Revolutionists have avowed, viz. to cut the

throats of the King and the Princes if the escort were attacked,
has induced a determination to let It proceed to Saville, unless
an occasion offers to deliver the Royal Family without expos-
ing them.
" The Government has received dispatches today, which con-
firm the entrance of the Royalists into Oviedo, where theyin-
stantly liberated all who were imprisoned on account of political
opinions ; and afterwards took possession of all the arms and
warlike stores. It is affirmed, that they have effected a junc-
tion with the lluronians (in Galicia), forming altogether a corps
of upwards of 10,000 resolute men. It is said that General
Morino and Palarca have received orders to proceed and sups
presS this insurrection; but they have scarcely any troops at
their disposal. -
" The report having been spread this evening, that the French
troops had entered Spain, and that it was even believed that
they had reached Vitteria, the Li
is beraux and their Journals an-
nounce, that a revolution about to be declared throughout
France i • that Paris, Bordeaux, and Lyons have hoisted the tri-
coloredfiag, and that the army of the Pyrenees has received
orders to retrograde.
" The ferocious character of the Count • del'Abisbal inspires
here great terror ; the National Guards who have remained at
Madrid support as tyrannical will but impatiently. He has
just.ordered an investigation into the conduct of the Govern-
ment of Guadalaxara, and the officers who were in garrison in
that town, for not having made resistance when Bessieres en-
tered ; and although they are in the power of this Royalist
Chief', yet he causes the proceedings against them to be followed
up.—'l he provincial deputations, which are under his military
command, have received instructions from del'Abisbal, which
it will be impossible for them to execute under present cir-
cumstances, either as respects the levy of contributions or new
conscripts.
" It is added that the Count del'Abisbal, after the departure
of the last convoys for Seville, will establish at Toledo the head-
quarters of the first army of reserve which is under his orders;
in this case Madrid will be entirely abandoned.
" We are astonished here that the French Liberal Papers
venture to boast of the measures of the Spanish Revolutionists,
and eulogize the Expalador and Universe!. It is not then
known in Paris that these Journals are filled with the grossest
invectives against the person of the King of France and his
family.
" March 23, Two 0' Clock, p. M.-The Cortes, whirls de-
parted to-day, are accompanied by the two companies of the
National Guards who returned from Valdemoros, and 30 horse.
The number of carriages in which the Deputies, the Functio-
naries, and their baggage are, conveyed, is very considerable,
and another convoy will set off to-morrow. The garrison of
the capital is now very weak ; it is mainly composed of con-
, scripts who are not even clothed.
"Phe enumeration made by the Journals of the French
troops which compose die two erodes, and the statement of the
order in which they, will enter Spain, have excited great sense-
. tint, and no belief is now given to the rumours of en insurrec-
tion in France and the assassination of Louis XVIII. which
have been hawked about during four days past, on the audio-
. rity of pretended letters from French refugees on the frontiers.
It is this evening announced as positive, that (in conse-
. quence of the combined movements of die Royalist Chiefs,
spoken of above,) a column of Royalists, about :;000 strong,
have become masters of Talavera la Reins ; and that they will
post themselves on the route to Seville, to attack the convoys
which leave Madrid. At SeVerl o'clock this evening, some
cavalry arrived at the Porte d'Alcala, who formed part of i.e.':
troops sent against Bessieres, and whom this Chief defeated."
