The Emperor Napoleon left Paris on the 2d of April, for Bordeaux. On the road he was met by the Ambassador from the new king of Spain—who presented his credentials to him as he sat in his coach. The Emperor informed him that he would give him an audience in the first city at which he might stop. The Ambassador was necessitated to change his carriage, to endeavor to keep up with him. Napoleon proceeded to Bordeaux, where he visited the different public buildings, the river, &c.
The late king of Spain had published a Proclamation declaring that he had voluntarily abdicated the throne in favor of his son Ferdinand, whom he called on all his subjects to obey—at the same time he recommended to his son to keep in office the old unsuspected public servants.
King Ferdinand had proceeded to Victoria, (which is 155 miles N. of Madrid, 32 S. E. of Bilboa,) to meet the Emperor Napoleon, and conduct him to Madrid, where it is expected the marriage of the king with the Emperor's niece, will be solemnised—& the coronation take place.
The Prince of Peace had not been punished, nor even tried—and nothing criminal had been found against persons at first suspected as connected with him.
