livered to me, 1. a letter of cret:enee, to remove all
doubts as to" my person; and my ini,sion tv Pritiets

Luid to the Prince, which have been found among
my papers. 3. Forged passports, routes, orders
from the Minister of Marine and War, stalip,
seals, signature.s of the otlicers in the Department
of the Secretary of State, all of them seized at this
time I was artested, and which I carried with me,
.to convince the Prince of the means I had.- 4. As
to the furns
,necessary tor -the uncleitaking, I had
about 200,000 francs and eventually an unlimited
credit on the House of Marnsoff and Claney, of Lon-
don. Finally, the vessels that were necessary; viz.
the Incomparable, of 74 guns, the Dedaigneuse,. Of
50 guns, the Piquarite gathot, and a brig. This
squadron, which-is victealled for the months, waits
for my return on the coast of Quit,teson.
Thus pro.ided, after taking Lave of the King and
his Minister on the 24th of January, I left London
on the 26th for Plymouth, with Commodore Cock:-
barn, to whom the command of the squadron was
confided. M. Albert dz.. St. Bo:tnel 1.0 whom I
cornmueicated my plan, temained in Londoo to re-
ceive the passporrs, sramps, seals, Zrzc.
that were ordere,l. The departure of M. Albeit
de St. Ronnel was delayed by the indisposition
of the Marquis 'nf •WeileshT; he did not
me before the end of Feb,oau, and we sailed
some days at ter. I landed at Quaberon on the night
cf the gth of March.

" The English," said he,
.addres,:ing .himself to
me, " have done much injury to the Spanish nation.
They continue to cause blood to be 'shed in my
name. The English 21.1ini,t,:rs, •deceived try the
131 Se idea that I am den:film-3 here by force, have
prq)osed to me means •of escape. Thr.y li,ve sent
to toe an individual, who, under the pretext of
selling spine mbieas of art, engaged , to deliver to
me a message from his Nlajesty
__the King of Eng-
land." • '

Opportunity to repeat to. your Exeellitncy vt hat .
have alrradv had- 'the honour to communicate to yoe:
Prince Ferdinanil is animated with t he_ bt.st disposi-
tion ; he is profoundly itnpressed with the opinion
that his-Maj-tty the Emperor is his only support,
and his 15:s, proteC,tor. A prOfound sense of grati-
tude, the \visit and hope of being declared the
adopted son at his Majesty the Emperor—such are
the sentiments which lid the heart of his Highness ;
under such circumstances it was and,at the
time ',Vhen the Prince had nssenibled every p,,,r3nn
of dtstun ian in the ptovioce, a'. the Castle of Vll-
lancayi, to participate in the blilhant entertaiinnents
which he stee. in celebtation of their Majesties'
marriage. that the litron de Ktdli came to del:v,fr
his wicked and ridiculous messages. Assuredly no-
thing could have been more easily anticipated than
the reception he has experienced.
I request that your Excellency will transmit to me
a detailed acknoNAledgment of the receipt of the va-
rious articles which I
.have addressed 'a you.
I haste the honour to be, &c.

Q. What precautions did you adopt on your
landing to conceal o'e-documents explainirg the ob-
jeti of your. journey ?—A. I put the letter of cre-
dence in my cane. Tne two Jetters of his Maj,sty
the King of England were concealed in the lining of
my coat ; part of the diamonds were sewed tip iu
the collar of my stmont, and the waistband of my
smail-clothes. •.M. de St. Bonne' had the remain-
der. which he secreted in the same way, and in his
cr3eat.

coriouS arti,les to sell. I was in hopes to lor%e J,CR
able by these tiltlinS to deliver ni the Prince the
I,!tters with which I was Contruited, to put him taii
possession of my
.plan, and to obtain consent. I
could oWy communicate with the Prince Don An-
tonio and the Intendant. Prince Ferdinand refused
either to hear or see me. Indeed, I have rmison to
believe, from the suange•Manner in which my pro-
posals were received, that be sent inlorntition to the
Governor of the C in consequence of which I
was artesied.
Q. What means had you primed to convey Prince
Ferdinand to the coast, in else he consented to accom-
proy you Th.e object of my first jonroey to
Valancay w;ts to impart my plan to the Prince, acd.
in case, he agreed to it, to fix with him a time when

the relays we would haVe proceeded to a great dis-
tance frOm
.Valaticay bef .re he v, as missed.
Q. Whither did you intend to carry the Prince
. after you got on board ?—A. It was Marquis Wei-
lesJey.'s intention to send him to Spain. The Duke
of Kent was for_ sending him to Gibraltar. iilut
this plan disgosted me ; it was in fact tending him to
prison. I intended to propose to him make his own
choice, and, to carry him wherever he pleased, for I
was informed that Capt. Cockburn had orders to
obey my directions.
Q. `olio are the persons you intended to em-
ploy I.—A. M. Saint Bonnel was the only
,persc,o
o acquainted with my de:tigb. I did not intend to
look out for any one to assist me in executing it,
until I became acquainted with the Prince's deter-
ni'nation. I should. have employed but few. pt.:-

sons.
Q. Are you acquainted with the neighbourhood of
Valancai and the country you were to pass throuji ?

cellent maps at Paris on my arrival, 4hich woad
