Sr. Hitexma.—The island 'of St. Helena was dis covered in 1502 by Joan Di NOVA, who gave it its present name because he first saw it (on his return from India to Lisbon) on the 3d of May, a day ton secreted to the memory of the religions Empress He lena, the mother of Constantine, the first Christian !Emperor. It has nn islands near it, but stands in an equal distance between the ports of Rio Grande, in Brazil, and Cape Negro, on the coast of Afiica. It lies in 16 degrees of southern latitude, and from the lutme.t promontory of South Africa, 22 degrees lon- Oude. It is distant from the Land's End in Eng land 4:;00 English miles, and from the Cape of Good Hope 1740. It is but small, not exceeding 30 Eoglish miles its circumference, but so excessively high, itr.q it . often veils its head in the clo:tds, which send down sulficient moisture to cool the sun's ardour. Neverthe'.ess, the land is not more eminent in its height than the sea is profound in its depth, being so deep, that itoffords ill anchorage, except at the north west, where it is hut '2O fathoms • and from its great profundity, the flax and refltix seldom appear. The land is so steep on all sides, that it can hardly be ascended, insomuch that the sail its thus describe the I access to it: " That i;•is such, that a man may choose! whether he will break his heart in going up, or his neck in corning down it t " 1).2% being once up, scarcely any place can yield a finer prospect. The land, on the top, is very plain and even, without any hills,— It has some serii.:s, which are sweet at their rising, but running through the salt hills they become brack ish. The valley where t'.‘e church stands is extremely pleasant ; so full of rare fruit-trees and plains, that it appears like a well-cultivated garden. A sweet sprihg, rising at some distance .froin the church, diffuses itself, in many.yretty rivulets, through the valley, watering the several parts of it, and refreshing each plant and tree. The island allow; great store of pheasants, pouts, quails, partridges, hogs, and goats, the letter of which are called Cab, itra, :ind have manes like horses, and long beards which flail t.in the greund The herbs that grow isere are all soveretth remedies against the scurvy -a distemper which seldom tails to attack a pan of the creOs of those ships which are homeward-bound from the East In dies.

Ezehequtr Bilis 416 As we stated yesterday, the srrsng.eia i t,111"F COW. plete for instantly dispatching BONAPARTE. and his handful -of attendants, w St. Helena. Yesterday afternoon Sir Gioaoa COCKBURN took his Sul leave of the Lords of the Admiralty, previous to his de. pasture for Plymouth, to take the command of the NORTHUMBERLAND. He left town in the course of the n;ght. hit as our Port letters do not mention the arrival of the NoRTUUMBERLAND at Plymouth, ore presume that the necessary arrangements for her outfit at Portsmouth were not completed as soon as expected. Colonel Sir HENRY BUNBURY, the Under Secretary id State for the War Department, and Admiral Lord KLITH, are expected in Town in the course of to-day. Oa Monday, it is understood, they executed their im portant mission of communicating to BONAPARTE that he was regarded in no other light by the British Go vernment than in that of a French General, and would be treated with no greater courtesy than 'an officer of that rank who had voluntarily surrendered himself to the enemy duritig the war. We understand that BOPAVAIITE had intimated his intention to remonstrate in something like a formal Protest against his being disposed of at St. Helena. Sir Hyrax BuNnunir and Lori KEITH are expeeted in town to-clay with this precious specimen of special pleading and Corsican logic, as it will doubtlesi be. We are at a loss to conceive upon what authority, drawn from the law of nations. BONAPARTIC and his dapper little Councillor Monsieur L o is Cass. can re. 'Monstrati against the treatment the former is about to receive. Setting aside for an instant the recollec tion of hit enormities, which we are still prepared to contend pot him out of the pale of 'social relations, be is about to receive the mildest and Most generous treatment whiCh prisoners of war arcentitled to, and we speak frum the authority of Gnunos, PUFFEN. DORY, and Varrat.. _ Ail these.writers are agreed, that the termination of the war does not, 'Oar fade, imply a general ex ' change of prisoners. VATTSL. in particular, who is a favourite with all Jacobins, and .wlio, we appre hend, will be strongly dwelt upon by I I -MIA P.% Wl' R, on Ciis refation, says expressly, (Book 111. c. viii. .f 153.) that a State is entitled to detiiin I..iison i:re of war in captivity until a ransom or satisfac tion is made fur giving them up. in a subsequent section ihe same writer enforces the doctrine, that the lawftil Stivereign of a prisoner of war is bound to of ply for his'llberty, and to satisfy the dentate' made by' his captors fur his release. • We appeehea;therelore,:t that, to use a homely es. pressiti, Dim A PANTS C 2 111161 help l itAssit . He is, in abort, cur prisouir of war, until his-lawli! sign • . . is pleased to apply for his liberation, and satisfies us' for all the expenses we have been put to on account of the hostilities of..that,Bovereign or the nation over which he presides. This is piccisely the doctrine of the greatest Civi lians of modern Eutote ; and they add n dicturnt which, we hope, our statesmen will rigorously enforce upon France, namely, that dui ing the captivity of a prisoner of war, his nation is bound to provide for his maintenance. We have read and heard some rubbish about BONAPARTE, from the moment of his ara ral at Plymouth, being entitled to the benefit of our Habeas Corpus Act : the wise heads 'who vend such nonsense forget that we have an Alien Act in full force, which, in the case of fdteigners, suspends road them, nearly all the privileges of the British Constitution. We are surprised that none of the French vagabonds, with the title of Generals, who have polluted the British soil, during the war, have not thooglit of this notable expedient of getting leave to return to . FrinSe by a writ of Ilaheas Corpus, before., No fresh Paris Papers have *cached us to.day a nor have we, through any private channel, received any farther a c counts respecting the French army. Is it to be brought to that condition in which it may serve the State and - maintain public peace and secu rity ? - eir is it Sidi to give law to France, and threaten the safety and independence of surmund ing kingdoms ? If the 111NQ can govern the Army, then, in restoring him, we have regained Peace, or such a reasonahlt probability of it as IS COUSiVeta : ikitik the experience of the world—but if the .Army govern the KING. or if he have con ceived the 'union, that he must secure Minis-lt by adopting their system, by up, as far as he can, the place of Bosmeaure in their minds, and by be coming, a King of eft Warriors, whom the Usurper lett —if this b.: their actual prevalence, or his view of it— then would it be must absurd to negotiate with tile. Koa, for whist must depend upcn the pleasure )1 the Army.. The assemblage on the Loire is either Literally the head-quarters of the French Army, or it is that concentration, to which all the other corps look. Svelter marched to it, as soon as he bad 'made his noamial submission to the King; the troops irons the northern coast moved towards it, as it instinc tively : CLAUSAL fashioned Lis conduct by that of DAVOUST ; and BRUNE ; whin expelled tows Mar seilles, tried to reach him, notwithstanding his white .-.2;kide. The conduct of the KiNo to the army on the I...ire is, tht:rtfore, a criteiiiai of the sitnatinn in which France must stand toward the Allies—“ marshals us the way that we should go."- 7 Nuw, it we look to the journals for this, what do we find ? Not that the army is to be divided amongst various gar. risons, in doing which there Alight have been an op. portuoity for disarming it, but that it is to go 'iota cantonments. It is to seilislia ono body; f or a Com. ilia ndse is uppoioted to the whole of it, instead of DAvoust. The new Chief, as we stated yesterday, is to be filactioNA D i a soldier of the Bonaparsian school, but cne who did not break the faith he pledged to Loos upon his return. As far then as regards personal fidelity, the change has been well made, but that the disposition of the Commander of a French army is no security for its conduct we need go back only a few •montlis to know. IslAcooN4D commanded the army,' that went over to BONA PA RTE, as soon as it saw him, and escorted him into Park, which it had left with the loudest promises to defend Louts ! The act of retaining this army is, therefore, not palliated by the change of a Commander; and that act, we say, should prevent the Allies from eqnsidering Loma XV Il L as capable, in his present circumstances, of keeping Peace with them. Kew, &rum I.—Yesterday morn;ng the Dukes of YORK and fiRNT came to the l'alace to p.ty their respects to the QUEEN; and to enquire alter her Ma.
