considered as an interesting document in
whatever light it may be viewed.
PARIS, Sept. l.
The reply Of Ferdinand TO the communica-
ton Of the Duke d'Angoueme, has been look
ed for here with great anxiety. Il appears
that this answer destroys all hope Of arrange |
ment. 1t was given oR the 23d, the last day
Of the term granted by his Royal Highness,
and, il is said, is couched in very strong Ian
guage. The King, who wrote it with his
own hand, declares, if we are accurately In
formed,
That he has never ceased to enjoy perso-
nal liberty until the appearance Of thea rench
troops into Spain.
20. That the blood which has been shed in
| this unjust war, will recoil upon the head q
Louis XVIII, and all Frenchmen.
THAT they are responsible before God for
all the evils that may happen either to Ferdl-
nand or his family.
That the king relies confidently on the
Intervention of England.
