We have received some German and
Dutch papers, the latter of 26th nit. con-
tanning the Paris news TO the 22d. The
Conferences at Erfur,h have brokenup. The
royal vassals whom Bonaparte had convened
there have returned to their respective
homes, having received the commands OF
their liege Lord, who has returned to his

Napoleon reached st. Clouti. On the next
dav he hcld a council, when the Expose, or
Speech. from the throne. with which, the
session of the legislative body is usually op-
ened, was no doubt prepared. That event
WAS fixed for the esd. Napoleon would pro
baby set out soon after for Esyonne, to di-
rect the operations of the French army
against Spain Preparations had been made
for his reception ut the castle of Merac,
near Bayonne. for which place the imperi-
al guards, the precursors of all his military
movements, were under marching orders at
Paris on the 22d To render the whole Of
his forces disposable against Spain, and to
enable him to direct his undivided atten
ton, energies and strength, against that
country, appear to have been the object Of
his visit to Erfurth, and that object, we may
infer rom the foreign Journals, he accom-
lplishcd--for although the emperor Of Aus
tria did not degrade himself By doing ho-
! mage III person at Erfurth, we fear that he
will not interfere to defeat the execution of
the horrible threat which the atrocious usur-
per has denounced against Spain The

stated in the Papers of the 2lst to have pas

Goth and 30th it is asserted, an army of not
less than 100000 men vas to enter that
country. On the 18th, Marshal Lefebvre,
arrived at Bordeaux for the same des-

in the same direction through that CITY,
