The following is copy of letter received
yesterday, that handed about at Madrid
purporting to be addressed by Bonaparte to
the Prince OF Asturias. Whether it was
written to that Prince previously or subse-
quently to the discovery of the conspiracy,
wehave not been able precisely to ascertain,
as no date appeared on the copy.
" Bokoved Prince,
"Receive from the hand of the Count of
Haro, the sword which the interest of nv
Empire, the honor of the Spaniards, and the
opinion OF your excellent accomplishments
require to be made over to the Chief of the
rooPS destined to revenge our arms for the
repeated grievances with which our enemies
have thought proper to outrage them. One
day you will govern the people you now fiv
to conquer, and France will have in YOU a
friend to distinguish among your neighbors,
to concur with us, suppressing in their origin,
and chastising those that NAV be disposed to
promote discord. I have therefore thought
proper to command General Jnnot to make
known to the army, that your sacred person
placed at its head, repres nts m..e, and
that OF your Father, my dear Ally. | am
proud in promising myself, that by these
| means that friendship which / SO much va
lue will be increased.
