SEv1LLr. ftne 1.--On the 18th inst, an
anonymous letter was received here, written
at Bavonne, and dated the 10Th May, which
says the prince of EeuHhatel, and the high
steward Duroc, with . number of Generals
and Aids-de- Cansp went onthe 16tha league
from Bavonne, to receive Ferdinand 9TH,
and accompanied him to the house which
was intended for his residence The empe-
ror came immediately to visit him with a
great retinue, and was received by Ferdi-.
nand at the door where they embraced, Ma
poIeon assuring him that they were friends.
The visit beng ended, he invited him 10
dine at 5 in the afternoon, leaving at his de-
parture a guard of honor and at four IN the
afternoon he sent his coach to bring him
Afterwards the emperor and Ferdinand 7th
had various conferences, IN one OF which
the former offered the latter, the crown of
Etruria and to marry him TO his niece but
Ferdinand refused to agree to his proposal
and persisted in his refusal at other meetings
lat some of which the minister OF state,
Cevallos assisted.
-Four days after, the guard of honor de-
parted, leaving only one soldier of the na-
tional guard oil Bayonne, and the coach was
also taken away. Conferences became We
rs frequent, and Napoleon made the gran
dees responsible with their heads for the per-
sor of their master. All these conferences
were for no other purpose than to gain time
for the arrival Of the other royal personages
sA-notw outstanding that, Napoleon had all
ready intinaated to Ferdinand, the extinc-
stion of the dynasty of the Bourbons but
ske insisted that he should accept the king
dom of Etruria, to which Ferdinand-anew
replied, that he disregarded all Crowns but
his own, that ne wished only fer the power
OF making his nation happy, and TO Gle q
naeng the SpANIARDS,
On the 9th there was a Grand Council, at
which the Emperor, Charles 4ta and his
Own son Ferdinand, the Queen, the insaIit
Don Carlos, and all the Grandees and Til
nisters OF the two nations who were at Bay
onne assisted, and which lasted five hours
and az half ysrious points were discussed,
end Napoleon then offered to Fernnand 9TH
the crown Of Naples, and to the. Infant Don
Carlos, that Of Etrnrla. Rut these offers
like the former, were disdsined, and toe ,si-
Mister Cevallcs having taken up the dis
course, spoke with boldncss tathe Emperor
upon principles of diplomacy for FIVE quar-
tiers Of an hour, but without effect; the en-
peror ordered him to retire. The minister
Gomez Labrador insisted fer some tinleson
the principles of Cevallos, but at last the ex-
tinction Of the dipsstv was resolved upon,
and 6 hours were given to Ferdinand 9Th, to
make his remuneration. This was done IN
the following words
