The Statesman. — London, England, 1815-08-15 00:00:00

~, 1 To viz EDITOR or Til STATESMAN. who revere NAPOLEON most, indeed, r ejoice when they perc.ive that, with et sv.periority which Providence has given to very few mind 4, even of the first order,- he rises shove all trials which his enemies tan invent for him, invincible and severe, an d ppeake with the same 11)64, the same genius and range of intellect, the sanle self.conimand and as. cendance over the hearts and feelings of others with which he has been so long accustomed to tight. Another great consolation there is in this, that c o lonel Sir U. BCNtURT having heard his eloquent, temperate, and persuasive slatersofit of his reasons aga i ns t the treatment which he has already received, and that which has been announced to him, will re poll accordingly to those who are constitutionally responsible. And further, ita: he will not be deprived of the grwirl% of all his faithful and brave friends ; and that it is not in human power to deprive him of the pecu liar resources of his own great mind. To you and "to me it will also be a consolation, 'and to some highly.distinguished persons in each 'ouse, and to many respectable persons not of Par liament, that they have not contemplated this illus trious sufferer with hostile prejudice or unworthy indifference: that. they have turned their attention, and coutributed to turn that of the public to this prof, ,ingular, and unexpected question. And to th a t part of the people of England, small as the por tioo is, which, through difficulties and dangers of all kiwis, has obtained a sight of him, it is honourable, bOth to them and to him, that so far the just senti ments and generous feelings of the nation have not bPon disgraced; notwithstanding the delusions and imitating misrepresentations which have been unre witii.gly kept up for so many years. In a constautional, a patriotic, and a philanthro pic ►sew: , some good has bee►► effected ; more perhaps th an ass likely when the time was es short and the obstacles se 'treat, and unlite mitigation of enormous evil has probably been ohtained.._A deep and awful cloud hangs over the future results of this proceeding of Mi►►istry ; so little worthy of the nation, and of its circumstances, with the conduct of whose in. terests they are entrusted. If Minister• perki-t, and, if the Ex-Emperor be sent tilt long and dreary voyage to that small and desolate island, " a strange cage for such a bird," it cannot fail to be the sub. ject (however little hope from a Parliament so con. canted there may be) of parliamentary enquiry.— There are great and highly-informed, and generous minds, in both Mouses, who will make it so. And, whatever be at present, Ile, under whose omniscient, omnipotent, and infinitely beneficent dominion are the hearts, actions, and events of all beings throughout the universe...all causes and all effects, will turn this also to final good. I have read Mr. Cogswell, article in yaw Paper On NAPOLEON, With attet►tioa. I cannot peeceive, considering the wealth, character, and manners of the French nation, that a Re/nab/keit Go. raiment could succeed in France. MI the talents and virtues of the Brissotine party attempted it in vain, under far more favourable circunestanege.-- Narotron was progressively extending aad strength ening the freedom and securities against his own or any individual power of the French CONSTITUTION. I agree, however, wholly with Mr. CORNETT in this, that not only " his fate trill excite a greater interest than any former event in the history of nations; bid that, whether to exile or to death, he will be followed (for there can at least be exceedingly few, if any, exceptions) by the admiration and gratitude of every free 'loan in every nation in the world." I certainly understand Bow Awn not In have spoken of the British Goreikinent, but of the BRI. Tim NA T ION, as the most generous of his enemies; and it goes bard with us if we Are not.

I have been upwards of 40 year* an Officer in one of the East India Company's ships ; have performed nine voyages to • India or China, and hate always touched at St. llelenn on the plissage house ; shy stay there has been from a week at a time with contny, to three months when in want of convoy ; and having been several times over the island, I presume to give the following brief account of it : The town in St. James's Valley (off which is the only anchorage) is well built, the houses clean and neat, and the shops wen - stocked with every article that may be wanted either from India, China, or Europe. A stream of fresh water runs through the middle of the Valley, and there are reservoirs at the sea side, from which a fleet is soon watered. The inhabitants are civil, and reedy to provide hoard and lodging to any stranger, paying for the sane. No !usury is wanted at their tables, there being always mutton, fish, and fowl, and sometimes turtle, with good clue, beer, and other liquors. Fresh beef cannot so readily be had, as they *lab to preservethe oxen almost eaclusively for the shipping; although on Christmas-day the whole garrison is allowed fresh beef. The Governor's house, about three miles up the country (where, I suppose, BONAPARTE oil reside), stands in a most delightful situation, with a view of the sea to the Northward, and its extensive garden stocked with all kind of vegetables, and there are apples, grapes, and many other fruits, both Tropical Jod European. The beauty o f thi s pl ace i v h e i g ht ene d d becomes more romantic by the contrast of the rocks and mountains which every where present themselves. There are many other beautiful country seats and farm-houses in the vollies, and as the soil is a rich dark mould, there is no waist of trees or verdure, and in every valley there is generally a stream of pare water which falls frum the rocks. ?ie land is generally pasture; corn is not sown on "%account of the vermin, which would eat it before it sprung up, but there are quantities of potatoes, enough for the island and the fleets which touch there. Plenty of excellent water-tresses still wild celery grow naturally in the streams; and iiirslaits, a most nutritive vegetable, may be Cut is any (pawky on the sides of the hills.
