About twelve o'clock, the Tonnant's barge reached the Notiliumberland. Bertrand stepped first upon deck, Bun naparte next, mounting the side of the ship with the activity of a ,eaman.

(I was originally in that service myself.) Atter tak leave of the Officers who had accompanied him from the Bellerophon, and embracing the nephew ofJosephine ) who was not going to St. Helena, he went into the after-cabin, where, besides his principal com panio•-5, were assembled Lord Keith, Sir G.

Tl►e Countess Montholon is a very interesting woman; s•.e said little. Bertiand asked what we should have done had we taken Luonapatte at sea ? As we are now doing, was the reply. Lord Keith took leave, in the afternoon, of Buonaparte, and returned on 'maid the 'Formant.. Lord Lowther and the lion. Mr. Lyttleton now entered into very earnest conversation with him, which continued tor two hours. As he was very communicative e and seemed desirous of a very free conversation with these two accom plished young Noblemen, they availed themselves of the opportunity, and entered into a review of much of his con duct. We unde rs t an d th a t th e y asked him how he came to com mit the impolicy 4 attacking . Spain—the motives for the rieihn and Milan Decrees—the war against Itussia—the re fusal of the terms of peace offered him before the first cap ture of Paris, &c. To all these questions we hear he gave full answers, not avoiding, but rather encouraging the dis cussion. At the expiration of two hours, Lord Lowther and Mr. Lyttleton ttilik leave of them, and went ashore. ' His cabin in the Northumberland is fitted up with great elegance. His bed is peculiarly handsome, and the linen 517 upon it is very fine. His toilet is of silver. Among other articles upon it is a magnificent snuff-box, upon which is embossed in gold an eagle with a crown flying from Elba to the coast of Fiance—the eagle just seeing the coast of France, and the respective distances are admirably executed. The Valet de Chambres are particularly fine men. They and all about him always address him by the title of Em- peror. The Bellerophon, Tonnant, and Eurotas, returned to Ply mouth Sound last Tuesday.

The principal time for beholding Ilia whole figure has generally been a little before six o'cipck, just previouse to his dinner hour, in which time the mass of surrounding boats exceeded both in breadth and length every thing that can he imagined concerning it, particularly on Monday, when 1000 boats, and. 10,000 persons, at least, were supposed to be congregated, partly attracted by the ex imperial phenomentm, and partly by a wish to see the break water, only a few hundred yards from the Bellerophon, where. to their surprise, they found a supply of porter, bis cuits, fruit, and even tea, coffee, and cream; on which, after viewing the chief object, several thousands landed at low water, absolutely covering its extent with population. On Sunday a large portion of the spectators not only took 01' their hats, but cheered him, apparently with the view of soothing his fallen fortunes, and treating him with respect and consideration. 4)n Monday, the future destination of Buonapaite was officially communicated to him and his tie neral Officers, by Admiral Lord Viscount Keith and Sir H. Banbury, Under Secretary .of State for the War Depart ment, which be heard with grief of the most acute descrip tion, exclaiming inarticulately, that his wish bad been and was to don/lei/ink it) England, under any tarred/a/Ice its Go. vet mnent might think proper, but that be never would IJe carried to St. Helena alive; and pnblicly. •declaring, them rather than he removed from-the Bellerophon, he would haver himself shot through the head by his Marshals. Bertraod cried bitterly, on learning his own fate and that of his mas - I ter. Madame Bertrand became so much affected, that Art lattempted to drown herself, but was prevented when in tht! ! act of leaping overboard. " The demeanour of Buonapaite, ever since the above communication, has been sullen asset dissatisfied ; and he declined gratifying his visitors any mo re with a sight of lois form, except for about floret minutes on ! the same day, when the boats were kept at a great distance. 'On Tuesday orders came down for restraining all boats to a cable and a half distance from the Bellerophon, when the captive complaining that he was indisposed, closely confined i himself to his cabin, from which indescribable disapponot- I! ment was occasioned to those who bad gone out to see him, The precaution adopted with respect to the boats arose, we i understand, flout a foreign spy's being de te c ted hover in g ! around the ship, with letters addressed to Buonapa , te, ard without a passport, who could give no account of himsclt.
