" TO THE GOVERNOR. " Sis,—When t►n the 12th April I was informed by Dr. O'Meara that he should discontinue the es• mile of his functions es Physician to the Emperor Napoleon, 'I hastened to send a message to Major Gorrequer, begging him •to favour me with a call, baying some communications to make to him of the very highest importance. 66 I told this Officer that I had intended to ap prize him of our •great regret at Balcomhe's house being deprived of supplying the provisions; that the journey of the principal of that house to London, could not bee reason for depriving him of his bu siness, since the service had been always performed by. his partners, Messrs. Fowler and Cole, and Mr. Dalcombe bad never directly interfered therewith ; but that the communication I had just received from Doctor O'Meara was vastly more important, and that the Emperor could not rest a single day without the aid of Dr. O'Meara. " The nest day, the 13th, I bad the honour to write you to"the same effect. I had hoped to have an answer in the course 'von of that day, but this is the 24th. and I am stilt without any reply. Thus, for 12 de tl, ha♦ the 'Emperor been deprived of all medical assistance. In the month of October he was fifteen dots wnbast seeing Dr. O'Meara, at the tim- you sneaked the impishly% right of imposing upon him I ri R THE STA'rESVA..I4 Chapelle, sir that the situation of the' qegmhhic powers,. "now in a state of doubt and confusion, in consequence of the disscduticsa of the old ties that 'sinister!, and the loose and imperfect nature of the new ties mat have teplaceil theM"—a work of almost as much nicety tO adj ust as fi sing the amount of the mili tary establishments which the respective States are to keep up—shoeld call for the " honourable labours" of such a Congress at ell. According to the very satis factory annonce of the Courier, there is nothing, and all this to do at the Congress, which Lord CAS. TLEREAGIt'S wisdom, and the Koo-tou Secretary are to illumine. There is something very amusing in this laboured attempt to prove that the peace of Europe is not to he disturbed by the distant quarrels between America and the King of Embroideries. In spite of thedaring and triumphant march of the American arm. into Florida, in spite of the conduct of the Por tuguese on the Brazilian frontier, and all the events 'that may happen in Europe from the rapacity for territorial aggrandizement so strikingly evinced by the Members of this approaching Congress, it is their " expressed will and policy that the peace of Europe shall not be disturbed." This is just what we have said and expected. These Continental Con gressionalists, and Lord CASTLEREAGII and his Pail 3laitre assistasits, are Mimi to every thing but the establishment of despotism in the Kingdoms of Eu. rope. Let them but rivet the bonds of slavery on the nations of Europe—America and the preseristion of our best interests, are nothing in comparison with these nearer and dearer objects. But our 111inisters will b, awakened from this stupefaction ere long. the obligation to issue his bulletins only ender your dictation, without their being first sebmitte,d to the Emperor, or the original being left.in hands. Then, however, his disorder wasin its infancy, noel it has made some considerable progress. Count Montholon, who lodges in the same part of dte building as the Emperor, informs me, that on the 18th, and to-day, the %-lth, he. was awakened at two o'clock in the morning by the Emperor's valet de chambre, and remained dt that Prince's bed-side from two o'clock in the morning till five, witnessing the sufferings he endured, and oiled:) , unable to alle t , viate them. Your restrictions upon Longwood of the 10th April, have thus already had the saddest effect. 6 ' I beg, therefore, to repeat my request, that you would restore Doctor O'Meara to the exercise of his functions, end discontinue to annoy him, and make him feel the effects of such ill treatment, by removing the restrictions you, so contrary to. what have bees in force for three year!, have imposed upon him by your letter of the 10th April, to ) i sehich he neither will nor can submit, without dishonouring himself. " In. short, Sir, whatever reasons you may be able to allege, reflect upon the consequences of con tinuing things in their present state, end of d f priving he Emperor of,the Physician of his choice, withaut having substituted another, confOrmable In my letter of the 13th April. If you still persist in this line of conduct, this arbitrary act will- be duly appreciated by Europe, by your own cuentyy, and even by your Ministers.—l have the honour to be, &e. 6 4 Count BERTRAND.

LONDON: TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1818. The following extract of a letter from the Agent io LLOYD'S, at Barbadoes, dated sth July las►, states a most outrageous and unjustifiable conduct on the part of the Spaniards towards a British Captain and the British nag, which we hope will not go un punished. We are glad to see it added, that the British Admiral on the station has demanded an explanation from the Spanish Governor : " By the arrival or a schooner from St. Thomas's, information has been received of the Spaniards having taken possession of the brig Eclipse, Wott• BlINGTON ) of this place, which vessel sailed from this port for St. Domingo a few weeks ago. Cap tain WORMINOTON had been taken up to the city of St. Domingo, thrown into a dungeon, and loaded with heavy irons, the brig d•smantled. and the whole of the crew pot in confinement. The plea for this outrageous insult to the British flag is, that they found two guns mounted on deck, and six or eight dismounted in the hold, as ballast, and there- fore concluded she was an Insurgent privateer: a Spaniard having come forward and swore, that Cap lain W. bad taken his Teasel a few weeks before, and kept him a prisoner 14 days. The Scamander fri gate bas been dispatched by Admiral lIARTEY to de mand an explanation from the Spanish Governor." The Greenland ships, we have satisfaction in ob serving, have been very successful this season. ThP Eliza, Boswell, arrived at Shields, from D Straits, brings the following account of the success of the under-mentioned ships, viz:—Lady Jane, of Ned. castle, 10 fish; Grenville Bay, of ditto, 8 fish ; Resolution of London, 9 fish ; Dankenfield Hall, of Hull, 7 fish. • It seems now generally believed that Lord MEIL VILtIt is to succeed the Marquis of HASTINGS as Go• sernor.General in India, and that there will be se. venal changes at home to provide for the Duke of WSW NOTON. Report says, the Earl of MULGRAVE it to be First Lord of the Admiralty, and the Duke of Visi.uSeToN Master-General of the Ordnance. 'Our ar►ivals from the Continent since yesterday consist of French Papers to the 15th, Mails from Holland, and a series of German Journals. The French Papers furnish some further brief notices of. the Ultra Conspirators. Viscount CIIAPEDELAINC, one of the Royalists engaged in the late plot, has been relieved from solitary confinement. It was er roneously stated, that M. CANUEL was interrogated on . Wednesday. He has not been a moment out of prison but to see his wife, whq has arrived from the country. The meeting took place before the Judge of Information ; and the General was to be en amined by the Judge on Saturday. M. Sconcis, con fined on suspicion of being concerned in the recent conspiracy, has been taken out of solitary confine ment, and suffered to communicate with his Counsel. M. ROMILLY, the fifth person implicated, was to be interrogated on Foiday last. The strange care of the Countess de ST. MORT', and Madame GAUDECIIARD, her daughter, for libel- ling Cot. BARISIEIt•DVFAY, who killed the Countess's husband, came on for trial before the Tribunal of Correctional Police on Thursday. M. MAU. , cum, the Colonel's Advocate, took a review of his (Apia's life ; said that the duel, in which he unfor tunatply killed M. de ST. MORYS, arose out of M. Dom hating purchased half his lands while the former was an emigrant; and justified the mode of the duel, which was by taking two pistols, one load esl, and the other not, and choosing them by lot, which gave the Count, he said, a great advantage over his Client, 'Oho was extremely expert at his weapons, had they fought with swords. lie ridi culeJ the idea, that his Client could have ever pro posed that they should strap their legs together, end then fight with pistols as they best could. The Court found the ladies Guilty, but in consequence of extenuating circumstances, only sen. fenced them to pay a fine of 50 francs and all es perices, and ordered that the libellous publications should be suppressed. Oue of the German Papers (The Nuremberg Journal) asserts, that no preparations are yet making by the left wing of the Army of Occupation, indicating any intention of leaving France; and that no orders have been issued which could give any cqlour of probability to the rumours which had been in circulation ou the subject. The oracle of the Treasury has undertaken to gel ail speculation at rest, and to quiet all fears, re speeding the rumoured prospect of a new war with America, and the designs of the European Powers. N. , ser, according to the Esp.'s of the Government writer, who, of course, speaks from 46 the most au thentic intelligence," was a period so happy and so little likely to be disturbed by differences between Governments, as the present. The European Powers • are all possessed with the most magnanimous and just intentions towards their subjects, end the most friendly and disinterested affections for each other ; and notwithstanding the late fulminations of the Government Press against the Americans for putting to death British subjects, and invading the ter. ritories of Spain ; notwithstanding the arms and the power of the Republican Government of the United States are pursuing a constant and soccesofel march against the interests of all other rivals, 66 the diplomatic correspondence between the two Gosern ments, is conducted in the most amicable and cor dial terms," and therefore, " as far as human fore., sight can divine into futurity, we have, from this. friendly spirit now happily existing on each side arli the Atlantic, every ground for especting a lasting, peace." After such a statement, we engirt not es.' pest to hear that " the differences between Spain ale 4.
