SIR HUDSON LOWE AND BARON DE LAS CASES. f=2122 Our rtatfrs are aware that Count Las Casas was induced by his attachment to the late Emperor Napoleon to accompany hint to St. Hclena—,and those who have read " A Voice from St. Helena," will not fw.get the cruelty and brutality with which he was treated by Sir Hudson Lowe. The Count's son, forgetting that cowardice and cruelty are usually the inmates of the same breast, bus attempted to provoke hint to place himself in such a situation as might have enabled a pistol-ball to have done a of justice, which the law thrbids.—Wc subjoin the account given by the junior Las Cases, as well a s that which appeals ttom the Gallant 111ajor General linnsclt Ocronen, M DEAII FRIEND,-1 term it regulate to make a column meatier. to • at, on the inatant, relative to an occult - dice in aluch I 1.4. concerned; and 1 shall plotted, without further preface, to ewe. an the subject of it. Yesterday I nag :gator .Gen. Sir I I awns Lowe, in Paddington Green, as he was about to enter a haelnry wawa. When an al tercation ensued, dming wad' I struck bun across the shoulders with a horwwhip which I held in my hand. Having thus chas tised him, I mgaotly poxicratxl my card, bat he thought lit to t:.row it away, withoor deigning to read it. Upon this I tendered ban a second address, and afterwarela a third, all of which he ni hate manner threw away. His set vant maid, however, who had by ii..., time come out of the house, picked up my catila, and canard them into his residence, when the hackney coach crow on; and I prom:tied on flit wiry. 11 ' Yew persons bat myself and my lather are fully acquainted with the cruel p formations which I have received from this. man. During our detention at St. Helen, we were &masted in the must brutal manner. and subsequently kept in dose corditienrent during taw month, aa seetet, and treated precisely like cx i 11l a 1 hat still more tended to augment this cruelty, was my health Uni t ; at that time in a very precarious state, from the effects prialueed by a tropical climate upon a constitution naturally weak. fhis air, repiesented to Sr Iludwn Lowe by the ph) *clans, WllO explicitly made known to him that it was esaentially twee:- tary to die recovery of my health, that I slioald be allowed to retain to Europe, that I might receive the benefit of my natal air. Such a measure, however, would have been in (hied op position to the secrecy in which lie was desirous of enveloping all the proccedinga on the island. Ile demanded of Mr. B. O'alurra, en official report upon the state of my health. Mr. O'Meara, who uniformly conducted himself towards every one of us us became a man of honour and humanity, delivered in to Sir lindsim Lowe. a report witch was dictated by his conscience; but the Governor moved deal' to every representation of feeling and of tiuth, and iiiy Other and tin) sett were ordered off to the Cape of Good Hope, where we were detained 115 prisoners tor a:veti months, ow II ig to the instructions forwarded by Sir II ottani Lowe. This captivity, coupled with the separation irom its fa• lady and hits country, the :maim' anguish that succeedtd, the weak :.Late of health and the age of my father, have been the smarms of those inlifinities under which lie now labours, and which continue to bear lion down to lii• gnu c. After our departure from St. Helena, Sr Hudson Lowe pro ce,red to employ those means, with which he was so conversant, 19 h'aelen my father's character and render hone an objector sub p:CiMl to Napoleon and the French .officers on the island. Among other things lie stated to General Betrand that Count Las Caa.. had confeaatal that 1 tell and other attendants upon Napoleon had CIICIted every endeavour to ruin lino (Su Ilialmo Lowe) in the opinloa of his captive. by seeking to make lam regard the pe on and them:nom of Sir Hudson Lowe •• through a veil of blood."

Lowc to infoim him, that if he would give his word to act like a man of honour, I should always be ready to answer to him. An evciiing paper published tlie following state ment: •• About nine o'clock on Tuesday morning last, Sir Hudson Lowe had ordered a hackney-chaise to the dour of a house in Pad dington Green, and was on the point of entering it, when lie was rudely ran against by a young man of slight Mott stature and 111C*11uppcarmtce, who, instead of manifesting any concern at what occurred, immediately exclaimed in a foreign accent, What do you mean, Sir, by insulting me ?" .• Do you lIICall to insult me ?" '• Insult you!" replied Sir Ilud on Lowe, •• Why, you ran directly up against me!" The young person persisting, however, to talk in the ante strange manner as it hardly in his senstea Sir II utlani Lowe, without regarding him, proceeded to step into his carriage, when he felt that a stroke had been made at him with a small whip by the young man. who instantly withdrew out of his reach. Sir 11. Lowe having an umbrella in his hand, turned round and purated hint whit the intention of striking him with it, whets a second person, appa rently an Englislinftni, anti a bystander, suddenly sprang for ward between Sir Ifutison Lowe and the young man, and forcibly prevented it. Sir 11. Lowe, finding himself thus oppmmed, re turned to the carriage, and was M the act of stepping into it, when the young pelson mine forward, with a and in Ms hand anti Sir 11. Lowe taking no notice of hum timecard was thrown into ti:Ca/1111V. and itotan ly flung back, without being ever, looked at. Sir li. Lowe hail not at this time, the slightest knowledge or suspicion who the young man was, and could not conceive him to be a gentleman. On his return to the house sonic time alter, Sir If. Lowe found that two cards had been picked up in front of the door, and on them was written the name of ilartm E. de Las Cases, I hig tavern, Ilolywell,strtet. This young man had left St. Helena, a mere boy, between five issid six years befitre, and was not in t he least degree recognizable by Sir H. Lowe. It WAS afterwards ascertained, that both the young man and the per on who had interposed to protect him had het ti lying in wait near the door for some time previously, and evea called the preceding day at the house, to require for Sir Lowe, refusing to leave their names. Sir 11. Lowe now feeling it hail been a premeditated attack upon him, arising out of the performance of his public duties—viewing also the trea cherous manner in which he had been assailed, without any preemie: notice being given of the name, quality, or motives ut the aggrossors—and having gootind to believe the whole to be the eff.et of an unprincipled combination, made an immediate communication on the subject to Government, and to the proper legal authorities, which led to a warrant being issued for the appiebension us the Las Cases, who has since disappeared."
