Tt'eunderslatni it S 3 not true, that when the person *ith nhnm h., was conversing he did not ad mNire the Ein t JetOr Aletinder, Bonaparte observed, nur neither ;" the Gentleman alluded to not having heard the anseer, in cdnsequence of a great noise on deck at the time. Bonaparte did not expatiate on the magnanimity, Arc. of the Prince Regent. He never toratiuned his ltayal Highnesi but once, viz. when he snid, je vosslo4 (or, jetroyoie)prepnrer tit Priricii• Regent repptue la phis glorieuse de son regne," (i. e. that in which be might have (tied to ltitto who had hero his greatest enemy). He said nothing of the personal character of Louis XVIII. or of any of the Bourbons ; nor was the Dechesid'Angouleine even named. The following area few passages of the conversa ti..n which Lord Lowther and Mr. lytaeton had with Bonaparte when he was transshipped from the Braerophon to the Northtemberland:—= BONA PA arr. Khikt remonstrating against his deten tion, said—" Y.O do not know my character. You ought to have placed confidence in my word of honour." Oise of the Gentlemen said, " Shall I speak the piaio truth to plu." BONAP %lag—Speak It. must then tell you, that4ince your ill's- Ilion of Spain, no Englishman could put trust even in your must solemn engagements." B. " I was called to Spain by Charles IV. to as sist him against his son." —" No—according to my opinion, to place King JosepdPon the throne." • B. 64 I had a grand political system. It was ne cessary to establish a counterpoise to your enor mous power on the sea ; and, besides, that was only whit had been done by the Bourbons," or words to that effect. —" It must be confessed, however, General, that under your sceptre France was much more to be feared than during the latter years of Louis XiV.'s reign: She was also aggrandised," Stc. • B. " England, on her part, had become more powerful:" Here he referred to our colonies, and particularly to our acquisitions in India. 44 Many well-informed men are of °poi in, that England loses more than she gains by the pos session of that overgrown'and remote empire." B. " I wished to revive Spain ; to do much of that which the Cortes afterwards attempted to do." He was then recalled to the main point, and re minded of the chararter of the transaction by which he obtained possession of the Spanish Crown, to which he made no answer, but took a new line of argument on the subject of his detention, and offer much discussion, concluded by saying--" W.II, I have been deceived in relying upon your generosity. Replace me in the position from which you took me" (or words to that effect). Speaking of his invasion of France, he said with great vehemence—'" I was then a Sovereign.-1 had a right to make war. The King of France had nut kept his promises." He afterwards said ezultingly 4 and laughing and shaking his head —" I made sear on the King of France with 600 men." He said, that in confining him as we did, we were " acting like a little aristocratic power, and not like a great free people." Of Mr. Fos he said he jtnew him, and had seen Mm at the Thuilleries--." He had not your preju dices." ••• " Mr. Fox, General, was a zealous pa triot with regard to his own country, and besides a citizen of the world." B. 66 Ile sincerely wished for peace, and I wished for it also. His death prevented the conclusion of peace. The others were not sincere." At ene ti he observed—" Ido not say that I have not for 11l years endeavoured to ruin England ;" and then, as if correcting himself for having inad vertently said more than was prudent—" that is to say, to lower you—l wished to force you to be just —at least less unjust." During the whole of this long and various conver sation, which lasted en hour and a half, and during the preceding one of half an hour with the same person—Bonaparte never appeared for an instant to lose his temper. or to be kit any degree indecently, if at all agit 'ter,. His expressions were often strong, bat they were calmly uttered—his voice never much elevated, his countenance composed, and he gesticulated very little indeed, much less than Frenchmen or Italians usually do.—ln shed, there were nothing in his look or manner that indicated plosion or dejection. Ile seemed to be perfectly col lected, and talked with as much ease nod freedom upon trifles•, as upon the greater questions of poli tics connected with his history, or the points that pe. culinrly related to his present condition. _ On Tuesday night last the body of Miss Allen (one of the young ladies lately drowned in Torbay in going to see lionsparte) was picked up at sea, and on the ensuing day a Coroner's Inquest was had on it at Torquay : it was afterwards conveyed to Tot nein for interment. The body was much injured, but was recognised by the clothes: her veil remained over her face. She is universally regretted by the whole neighbourhoad, having been most amiable and engaging in her department, and in the bloom of youth—about 21 years tri . age. The body of . the other young lady it not yet found. We Ulvdentand that Major CanTiratoux arrived at Dunfermline on Wednesdav, the 9th instant, on hi; route to the Ninth of ScOtland.

The Paris Papers of Saturday have arri►ed. The Get:elle Guidelie corrects some errors and omissions in the Ordinance of the. 17th, appointing the new Peers, which are not a little remarkable. The addi tions comprehend the names of the sons of three of BowAeARTE's Marshals, lIIERTHI ER, BES4IIERES, and LANNES, who are to take their seats when of the age prescribed by the Constitutional Charter. The correction of a misprint also brings out the name of the well-known Emigrant Minister, Count de Br.acAs, whose obnoxioos partialities to the old sys tem and Isis Emigrant brethren, brought so much dis. credit on the late Government of his Majesty. But what strikes sic most in the correction of these milk ' slew s as.d errors, as the alterations in this State mea sure arc gently called, is the exclusion of the names of tar most distinguished Personages who adhered to Louis in preference to the late Government, and are now high in command, and we may suppose enjoying the confidence of the King, Marshals MAC. DONALD and MAMMON; for instance, his Majesty's late able War Minister the Duke of Fecruz, who proclaimed that France was saved the moment he got into office, and the no less celebrated patriotic heroes AUGEREAU, MaRTIEN . &C. &C.. VICTOR and Ountstov we perceive are in the list. What may constitute the superiority of their claims to the Peerage We known not : TALLEVRA ND and Foucua, who are doubtless the advisers of this selection have, of course, sufficient motives for their policy, the pro priety acid independence of which does not appear lessened by the omissions we have mentioned. As it is stated that NEI- is to be tried by a Council of Peers, which is a sort of acknowledgment of his title to that dignity, the policy of the above exclusions is tolerably evident. The Council of Revision, which was to decide on LancooscrnE'i ease, was not to pronounce upon his appeal until Monday. The report w hich has been afloat on 'Change to-day of his having been shot, must therefore be incorrect, unless this gal lant Officer hes followed the example of Marshal Buttnt, which, indeed,' we should be sorry to hear; for it is not likely that the Government which dared not allow the plot to be developed, of which he was a mere mechanical instrument, will venture to de. vote the victim of their own plans to a fate which justice and an indignant public ►oice equally, if not more pre-eminently, decree to the authors• of that revolution in which this Officer's guilt was in- I tarred. within a vesy narrow compass ; but •there it a point bf safety at which even union ends, and jealousy and self-interest, disguised under fairer' semblances, stand Girth and mar the best projected ;lam We find by the Brussels pipers to the 20th, and Frankfort to the kith, just received, that doubts are entertained whether the additional extent of frontier churned for Germany will have the effect of giving it an acce s sion of strength, and that serious apprehensions are entertained that the new scale of territorial possessions will do more to destroy tranquillity and the proper balance among States that% to treeure either.—The new allotments talked of will at least materially alter the basis of the decisions of Vienna, and thus all the dis cords and intrigues which were supposed to be ex tinguished by that Conclave will he renewed. We have ant room for all the speculations we have in the German Papers on this subject. The following extracts are from the French Papers : I PARIS, Auc. 19.—tiome errors and omissions having slipped into the Ordinance of the 17th instant, which nominates to the Peerage of France, printed in the Gazette of yesterday, we now give the cor rect test of this Ordinance, which is to be con sidered as alone official, and such as will be insetted in the Bulletin of the Laws.
