LETTER TROIA HIS EXCELLENCY DON JOSEPH LUYANT)O
TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE AMOASSADDD OP HIS BRI-
TANNIC MAJESTY, DATED MADRID, JAN. 10, 1814.
" SlR—The Regency of the Kingdom orders me
to communicate to your Excellency every thing that
has occurred since the arrival of the Duke of San
Carlos in Madrid, until his departure from that capi.
rah Your Excellency will see in this communication
an unequivocal proof of the frankness with which the
Government has acted in this affair, and in the de-
chu-atiens made to the said Duke; you will see there-
in a prof still more distinguished of the fidelity of
the Government to those principles which it has re
cognised—not even choosing to enter into explana-
tions, however flattering they might be, without the
intervention and coneurreAce of the British C..biuet,
as well as those other Cabinets which, having engaged
in this war, are guided by the same principles of ho-
nour to defend a cause as just as it is sacred.
" The Duke of San Carlos arrived at Aranjuez in
the night of the 4th instatr, and being presented to
the Regency, he delivered to them a letter frorn•the
King of Spain, Don Ferdinand VII. dated Valerc iy,
in which, atter mentioning the good state of his health
and of that of his dear brother and his uncle, the In-
fants Don Carlos and Don Antonio, who were with
him; and manifesting, that he was acquainted and
satisfied with the sacrifices which the nation had made
for his Royal Person—with the brave and unaltcra'ale
constancy of his faithful subjects—the persevering as-
sistance of England—the admirable conduct of her
General in Chief, Lord Weliineten, and of the Spa-
nish Generals who had distinguished themselves—his
Majesty declared, that he had been spontaneously in-
vited by the Emperor Napoleon, through the ruediure
of his Ambassador, the Count Laforest, to adjust
Treaty of Peace, upan propositions founded on the
restoration ()ibis Royal Person—the integrity and in-
dependence of the Spanish States—and exempt lion)
every clause unconfin elahle to the honour, the dig-
nity, and the interest of the- Spanish Nation: in con-.
sequence of -which, his Majesty had authorised the
Duke of San Carlos to treat in the name of his Ma.
jesty, about an object so important, with Conntel.a.
forest, the Plenipotentiary named by Napoleon to that
effect; arid that this Treaty being happily concluded,
he had sent it to the Regency by the said Di.kke, in
order that the ratifications rright be drawn up in due
form.— Your Excellency will see this Treaty in the
copy subjoined.
" The Regency, without vacillating, without en:
tering into any explanation or analysis of the articles
of the Treaty, solely looking to the Decree of the Ge-
neral and Extraordinary Cortes of the Ist of January,
1811, which ordains that no egnernent, treaty, or
even form of truce, shall he entered into with France
until his Majesty is at perfect liberty; influenced alto
by the Treaty with Great Britain, of which one of the
articles prescribes, that there shall not be peace with
France, without the intervention of that Power; con-
fided themselves to giving ,-as their only reply to tire
Duke of San Carl's, litter for his Majesty, in which
the above-named Decree was inserted ; and his Ma-
jesty was informed, that it was impossible to ratify
such a Treaty, which, besides, was entirely null in
all its parts.
" Notwithstanding that this transaction was com-
pletely terminated in the above manner, the Regency
have thought it their ditty to communicate the same
to the Cabinet of their Allies, thus proving the recti-•
tude of their principles. It is in pursuance of their
orders, therefore, that 1 have the honour to beg yaw
Excellency to transmit this document for the informa-
tion of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of
Great Britain. The Regency view only in this new
step of Napoleon, the disgraceful necessity in which
he has seen himself placed, of recanting the very prin-
ciples which he had proclaimed with .so much arro-
gance. The Regency further feel themselves com-
pelled to devote all their cares to the continuance of
the war, deeply convinced that its result moist be for-
tunate; and, encouraged by the idea of the difficult
situation of France, announced by propositions and
measures so contrary to the haughty character of her
Chief. The Regency flatter themselves, in short, that
Britain, animated by thy same sentiments, will feel
convinced of :he necessity of continuing the sante
efforts till the Chief who governs France shall be re-
duced to an incapacity of again disturbing the tran-
quillity of Europe, so many years the victim of his
insatiable ambition.—l have the honour to be, &c.
