P. •Grant, Esq. ' The arrival of Major Moodie, with dispatches fur Lord Bethune, from Sir H. Lowe, at St. Helena, has excitt some speculation in the City, coincident as it is with the account of the lauding of a sailor at that island. Ihe sailor had been one of the crew of the Northumberland man of war, which . car ried Bunn:Tarte from Europe to St. Helena, and in that situation had formed an acquaintance with. Buena parte's servants. This .sailor afterwards beenme.one of the crew of an East ludiamats, which being at St. I Ic lena, the sailor, in the night, contrived to swim from the vessel, clamber up the rocks, visit, and pass some hours gaily among 'Been:waste's domestics. This he did two several nights without being discovered er noticed ; but in conversation on board of ship he boasted of his adroitness, and told confidentially to his mess mates what he had done Knowledge of the transac tion transpinel : he was arrested and examined, and conducted home to England in confinement ; but it has not appeared that he had any sinister intention, or more in view than an innocent frolic. It is not be- Roved Buonaparte knew of his being among his servants. However, the occurrence ie supposed to have demon strated the possibility of -Buoneparte's escape on board of any English vessel, the Captain of which might be inclieacd -14 .ft bribe, or otherwise, to , convey him to Europe or America. Indeed, it is reported several such occurrences have taken place at St.-I•lelena, as have induced Hudson Lowe to declare to the Go vernment at berme, that if vessels are allowed to come to that island as at present, be cannot answer for the security of his prisoner. It is reported in the city that. Major Moodie is come home to make representations on this.eubject, and it isempposed another place a re freshment will be assigned fur our East Indiatnene .Exerss I NFURNIATIONS..--- In consequence .of in formations exhibited lest week before J.
