All this from the letter of the Queen of Spain, detailing her interview with the Duc de Cadore, who sent for her in the Emperor’s name on January 15, 1811, and administered this bitter message to her, for her husband’s benefit. See the letter given in Miot’s Mémoires, iii. 171-2. Cf. Napoleon’s dispatch to Laforest, ambassador at Madrid, Correspondance, 17,111.
