S4A BtIONAPA'RTE. A very curious and elite. wining book has fallen int! , our hands, treating of this extraordinary man. It -is the Epistolary Journal of a Surgeon on board the North a:lobed:lnd. The &tails are interesting, and place Butt emparte in a tolerably favourable light, and they have every :tope:trance of authenticity ; indeed; if otherwise, there. are. hundreds of persons implicated in them who cefuld contradict them. Fouche is detested by Buona.:' •parte's adherents, who describe the abdication in favour . of Nappleon the Second to have been brought about by Fouthe's forging &letter from the Austrian-Minister to himself, expressing the resolution of the Emperor of • Austria, to get rid' of •the Traitor (Buonaparte), and 'to leave France to choose between Napoleon the Second . and a Republic. Napoleon swallowed the bait, and ab dicated ;,it then turned out, that the Emperor of Aus; tria had.not power, if he had will to establish his little Grandson and thy* Fouche hoped, bongre malgre, to X 4 up 'a %Iwo . Mk. Talleyrand's talents-arc fully admit= ted by Bertrand, Las Cams, and Madame Bertrand if. he had been • with the 'e mperor, they had all teen then at 'Buis instead of on hoard the Northutnber • j„, at?ti*„antlFrlince had never changedlter Master. Tolley iand was distuissed front the Emperer'S confidence at the time of the Invasion of Spain, not beCtinse he dis eppnwel of thomeasure,, on the contrary, he strenuously ;advised it, boldly assigning as. a reason, that he did not think his own life 'safe while a Bourbon reigned in Europe. • tralleYrand and Fouche are described by Ber trend as endeayouritq; to hang each other, and the Ge neral seemed to wish they might both succeed. There were three. little Bertrands all inoculated (boys and girl) with a military spirit, and constantly galloping anti chatiln,g on the deck, ala Hussar. Bertrand, Lax Cans, , &e, talked very freely about the Generals, and Marshals of France. Maseena had amassed the most money by the Revolution.—Macdonald the least ; the former was t. fencing burster. Bertrand spoke Well of Davoust, and evattjystified his conduct at HamburPh ; but strongly reprobated Ney's behaviour at •Waterloo ; and in coin . paring . Napoleon and Ney, he looked .up to Heaven and down on. the earth, and said the . difference was equal. Soult was, an eXeellent • offitmr.—Ney brave to • a fault-but Suchet possessed more information, ad d• ress, and politiptl sagacity than any Marshal in France. Buonaparte was generally quiet rather reserved, asking questions 'but never inviting any. He asked the chap tain of the ship if be wax J: Puritan and - a Midahip plan how Brace he had served : to which he replied wipe years,, but that ha had pissed _three of them . - ca, a prison at Verdun. where he . ,avis when the •Em : peror went to. Ramie. Buonaparte shrugged his should ' era and said nothing. He breakihsted on meat, Claret and coffee, took much snuff, but never offered any.— General arul Madame Montholon were companions of Buonaparte, the General was his Aide-de-Camp, and it is singular that Buonaparte served in the same capacity under the General's father during the • Revolutionary War.—Madanie Bertrand described the little Napoleon as very .beautiful—but Buonaparte scribed him in English as resembling himself only in the tipper part of his form, saying, a - He has one grand big head." Las Camas altered to qualify his Master to read an English Newspaper in a. month, but the Em . parer replied, that though they thought him very clever he could not do every thing. When be learned from Cap tain Beatty, of the Marines, that he was at the Siege of Acre lie pulled him by the ear, saying, "Aht Yon rogue, you rogue, were yon there He then enquired after Sir Sidney Smith, and repro-. hinted Barbary Ping' hs fully avowed his intention of invading'En;land en person' in 1805. Aware of the weakness of has flotilla, he sent Admiral Villeneuve with the Spanish and French fleet to sail apparently • for Martinique, by way of diversion.. Ho was then to swede Nelson, and return to the English channel, and . the flotilla *Wilt to put forth from Ostend, Boulogne, Dunkirk, &c.: the intention was to dash at , the capi• tal. by way of Chatham ; but Villeneuve, after being defeated by Sir Robert Calder, sailed contrary to or ders fir Cadiz ;—and, exclaimed Napoleon, " He might as well have gcne to the East Indies." Buonaparte was a great ohner on board the Northumberland, often reclining on a sufa, quitting the card table early, and not appearing till eleven an the morning; frequently breakfasting in bed, and amusing himself with a novel. The conjectures in England as to his probably termi nating his own existence, reached him, and he replied, " No, no, I have not enough of the Roman in me to destroy myself."—He apolte of Mr.Whitbreud's death, , and was inclined to attribute it to our foggy climate and gave this decided opinion on suicide:—" Suicid; ir a crane the most revolting to my feelings;—nor does any reason prevent itself to my tmdervtandiug, by which it can be justified. It certainly originates in that spe cies of fear, which .we determine pultrourrie; for what claim can that man have to courage, who trembles at the frowns of fortune. True heroism consists in be coming superior to the ills of life, in whatever shape they may challenge him to the combat."—Madame Mon thutun was an invalid; and Buonaparte enquiring of her medical attendant concerning her health, quoted Macbeth in the fidlowing way : •• Cam a physician minister to a Wad disesstd, Or pluck from nietnory a rooted rya t ' ( 4 • 1;•:, • -s• ,vatinve *sax of ghle Moth iThir Gazette announces !'tat the Parliament. which stands pm. nrmod to the Kt of diuutary, will then be further prorogued to the vit% of W said month. what it will be held and sit (or the dispatch af divers urgrnt and w:ghtv BANKRUPTCY SUPEIISKARD.

Country, and of petitimeng tlw Prince lbegent for the speedy assembling Parliament. lii order that a reinedv might. he adopted i and especially to pray for a Reform in the Commons House of Parliament. the Lord Niuyor raid, lie tend received a Requisition, de siring him to call a Cl/Mlllllll Hall before the Suite of Novenis ber : consistently with ilia other publiethaties, lie could not do sa ; but he had convened the Hall OM the tastiest possible day. He now trusted they would give every gentle/non who 'otiose to deliver his st ntiments a fair end eandid hearing. M... Mitchell then Caine forward title object of the Meeting having been stated by the CI ,Mlll,lll Crier) and said, the task had devolved on him of esplaiiting the object i'Lll whien they had been celled together. ',heir object was to obtain a Reform in the Representation of the People ; they wanted no violence of any kind; they wanted a temperate, rational Reform ; such a Reform as the Constitution warranted them in demanding ; that would afters! immediate relief to the distresses of the country. by lopptrig off the exorbitant taxation and unmerited sinecure places and pensions. He treated they would ail unite in considering Reform as the tally remedy fur the multiplied evils under which the country laboured. Let them be Min and temperate, and they Would obtain the object which alone world operate as a core for their. evil.. For this purpose, be e hired it w'te possible that they could'eollect the sense of every iudividual there, by his .deliyering his sentiments on this important question. In every tiling that ennobled the human mind, this country stood unrivalled ; nod Mould we nut have some of thespirit of our • ancestries remaining? if it were possible for the public men sew in existence to expire in ten miuutes, another race would instaotlyspring cep, capable of carrying mu the great wort . The venal press wanted titled men alone to bring about Re - turns; but all that were the boast of science and virtue /prying from the democracy. The progress of public opinion was so . rapid, that the Borough-mongers could not stem the torrent ; and all they (the Reformers) had to do, was to caution, theta selves against violence; to go to Wioalsor, if necessary, with ' Magna Chart* In their hands; not with a 'word in one hand int a torch in the other. He world be the last man to grudge the House of Brunswick all that fairly belonged 'to them. He would render unto Caesar that which was Clew's; but he would not pay Caesar that which was not his duel Much had been coal about the Spa-fields Meeting; for Ifs part, hue could are nothing iii it to be blamed. In his opinion. Ore violence committed that day was done by some veinal wretches, hired for the purpose. The annual expendithre was ?a millions, which we could bear no longer ; and nothing would cure the evil but Reform in Parliament; for the Ver rough-mongers had lan feeling, and " were surely dead' in trespasses and sin." He then moved a string of Resolutions, and a Petition to the' Regent, praying for Retinue, ..sic. If any ameudinents were moved to these, his Resolutions, he had no hesitation in staying, the man who would do so, was ',au enemy to his country. • Mr. Hunt (of Spa fields notoriety) came forward to second the Resolutions. if a fte r the abuse he had lately received from the venal Preas, he had appeared before them without emotion, he should be without feeling. lie congratulated Mein on seeing fresh men come forward In the cause; for the mover had recently taken up his Livery to be able to address them. Nor his own pait,. how ...met much he had been vilified, he had "brays used language. de •precatutg violence or any other means of obtaining reform. but that 7 e consitutionatitirelett. He would, however. lend at. hand obtain Pailamentary Refonn; anus would even if it were abso lutely net:teary. lay clown his life for it. The Rill of Rights gave us annual Parliantems, chosen by all those who paid taus; and where was the man that aid- not us atm wiy csy th em? ',' his was resisted by the Roroughtnongert, who, he believed. would 'either drive the country to despair, and a bloouy revolution than Rine the emight• the reform they wanted. He was happy to tell them that I postions were coming in horn all quarters kr that object. They Would be told to-morrow in the hireling Papers (blab parties- were dike)) that they had been addressed by it violent fellow. who neon!, mentkd nothing but blood and murder; Lot lie was not draid of his words if they were not misrcpres..riett. Ile only wetted' he Old Constitution restored; but the vile press abused :Al imblie men. lie dal not find fault with the Meeting at the Mansion house; but why did not the worthy Aldermen who subscribed his Sol. put down 100,0 m L that helhatt miule by cetitract,ditringthe war. lie though him !

If Alderman Colds lied been there, he would have asked him too, why he did not puttlui:L hi.::e or3oo,oora. belied made hy the war, at the Mansion-house Meeting. He had• heard there was to be a stripe of Resolution moved as an amendment; bemuse t'io•e he had seconded were brought forward b new men; but he holed the Livery would discriminate for themselves. . Mr. Waithman then came forwent. He said, that althemeb from the impaired state of his health, it would be impossible Art hhii to address them in the manner he could have wiehed to here dune; yet there were some points to which he wished to draw their atten tion. There was never a' period of greater distress or didictdtithan the.present; and yet on a subject of suet magnitude and import ant* he had paver men io thidan attendance of that Livery. Go questions ofno moment he had often seen the Hall crowded to execs.; but there must have been sonic defect in the amid way adopted* for making tits. notice public.
