piwer at home; hal also to enable him to re-enslave his
former subjects in the New World. His former friend soil
benefactor, Napoleon, having, by this time, disappeared
from the scene of action, Ferdinand deemed no Sovereign
so suitable for his double purpose as the potent and mag-
nanimous Emperor.. of All the Russia', and, for this
reason, he resolved to throw himself ioto his arms, by
establishing with him a connection of the most intimate
and binding Irind. Conformably to this plan, he addressed
theßnsgiaa Autocrat, unbosomed himself to him, explained
his difficulties rind rmha rrrrr meets. end feelingly suppli:
e tea his kind friendship and powerful support. The prays*
was &anted, and in the first letter King Ferdinand very
frankly boasts, that since he bad obtained the wish-for
friendship and support, `•he had felt the good effects of
it in London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and Constantinople."
Time intimate connection, thus formed, led to a request, of
the part of King Ferdinand, to be allowed to build a Navy
for Spain in the Baltic, and thus ended in the tale of a
Russian squadron, most of the ships of which, it will be
'remembered by onr readers, turned out, oa arriving at
oldie, to be rotten. _ . .

In order to promote the good understanding thus established'
the Emperor Alexander sent of to the Court of Madrid, as his
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, M. Tatis-
cher. This diplomatist arrived at Madrid, and by the
23d of March, Rill. the dale of the first letter, we now pnblish,
he and his wife had gained such en ascendancy overKiug Fee
dinand and his Councils, that nothing was done in Madrid
except through Russian influence.
The leading feature of these documents is a decided hos.
fility to Crett Britain, and a disposition to prevent till
South American States from becoming independent. The
writer complains of the Lima England has caused Spain,
With at a false friend and open enemy," and this just at
theilose of the first
.Peninsular war; anll expresses his
tinxinua wish, " that the ravages of the ambition of tbe
Islonders should be effectually slopped."
