His brother Locien, theh residing in
Italy, bad . beautiful daughter Charloste,
quite a brilliant girl. Napoleon sent for
her to make him visit. His eagle eye
watched Very word and action. After a
short sojourn amid the spIendors Of the
Parisiap court, she, having no idea Of the
purpose of her visit, was placed in car
riage and sent home. She woald not do.
Napoleon was disappointed, for he shrank
frop the odium of de.hroning the Spanish
.Bourbots.
He appointed an interview with both
Charles Nv. and Ferdinand at Bayo q
small town At Che foot Of the Pyrenees.
Napoleon and Josephine arrived there on
the 18th of April, lSoG. Charles ". With
his wife Louisa, and Ferdinand their SOD,
also FASTENED there TO meet the arbiter Of
their des:inies. They had several inter,
views, during one Of which the mother as
sailed her sou with epithets of vi.upera'
ton, which wouldhayc disgraced the mar
ket place, and the king in his rage, came
near breaking the young mans head with
his gold headed cane. AS Napoleon left
the room of this disgraceful scene, he
said:
What a mother! What son! How
utter,is the degeneracv of this Court
What / am doing now, in certain point
Of view, is not good. know that we'll
enough. But policy demands that /
should not leave in my rear, and that, too,
so near Paris, dy nasty inimical to mine"
The old king, conscious Of the hostility
Of his subjects, and Of his inability to re.
tain the throne against the intrigues OF
Ferdinand, was ready to make any ar.
rangeuents with Napoleon, in the abdica.
.ion of the crown, if hs could only keep
that crown from his hated son. He
therefore, as the lawful sovereign, ceded
the crown Of Spain to Napoleon, in ex.
change for magnificent castle, ample
hunting grounds, and money enough for
the gratiicution Of all his voluptuoas de.
sires. Ferdinand aud bis brothers sold
out all their claims for a beautiful chateau,
a. Voleneey, aud afterwards at Navarro,
with an annual income Of 500 900 for
Ferdinand, and $4,000 for each Of his
brothers.
The cour,ly Talleyrand was appointed
to receive the princess, and, with all his
a'luring attentions, to minister to their
pleasures. Napoleon also wrote to him
II desire the princes be received with
out external pomp, but heartily, aud with
sympathy, and that you do everything in
your power to amuse them. If the Prince
OF Asturias (Ferdinand) should fall in
love with some pretty woman, it would
not be arniss, especially il we are sure Of
her. As he has thrown himself into my
arms, and has promised to do nothing
without my orders, l have adopted the
plan of sending him to country seat,
and surrounding him with pleasure and
surreillance.' ~' -.
He then wrote to his brother Joseph, At
that time King Of Naples:
"charles ". has celed to me all his
RICH. 10 the crown Of Spain. This crown
l have destined for you. The kingdom of
Naples cannot be compared with Spain.

h're,enue Of 10000 900, besides the colo.
nies in America. Madrid is but three
days journey from France. Naples is at
the other end Of the world, desire, :herc.

this letter, you will commit the regency Of
Narles to whomsoever you please, and
Sc. out for Bayonne BY the shortest rou.e
possible keep,h secret from, everybody
As it is, it will only be suspected too soon.>
