Our arrival in the Wend dis possessed them of Longwood : it then led to the aeppression .f Colonel employment, finally sending both back to Europe, with the loss of the Corlonel's place and molt:mews. ."Lersly epp►ernl the moat important part of th• eisieed Isomers, is the Governor's estimation at least ; I allude to the famous clandestine demonetise which lad caused my arrest. They had been carefully Iran ' scribed, with the esception of 110100 passages that the copyist could nut make out ; these I bad the very eimapectiol complaiseisre to restnre myself. In one of them I had 'riposted my London friend to ascer tain, whether my Lord Holland had received the papers which I did myself the honour of addressing to his Lordship. Here Sir Hudson Lowe had recourse to the greatest amenity and kindness, fur the ;tarpon of finding out what the obscure passage meant. He agreed with me In thinking, that he had Ho right *Latium -to force •n esplansti 0000 of it from me; add. hot, hew very much the affair would be simplified and abridged by such a proof of condescension se any part; together with many other ob titles to the same elfoct. I replied, with still more solemnity than the Governor had used, that in the above article consisted my onsets mane! and as my words were eite le iy noted by his Secretary, letstillneed to dictate to the latter by saying, that the answer I had just made was the onemost co 00000 nt to my education and prin. ciples, that any other might have led him into doubts as to my - veracity ; end that my nature was oriels es net to impose the troth of my assertions to the slightest suspicion: that haying said thus mach, le prove the itsteerity of my intentions, I would now add, that I bad never, in the whole coarse of my life, had any commiiiiicatiot• whatever with Lord Holland. This welooked for finale produced a scene every way worth. of the tsge ; nor would it be easy to describe the an sloes Governor's surprise, the vacant Mare if his i , : f ir rys, fillets pan of the reporter, or my own feelin g s eseltation over the motley group ma h:oh sor:,•-andeal me. .1 had in fact thwermitted, in the servant's returning to Longwood previous to his leaving St. Helens, to entrust him with sem* midi. tictisl documents for the perusal of Lord Holland, explanatory of our situation and sofferiogs. I had not the honour of knowing his Lordship, eseept the noble digelty sod superior eievatiou of his public conduct ; but to address the hereditary legislator of Iris country, and a Member of the Upper House, in the language of truth, appeared to me perfectly fere pref•mi -dile, without being by any means incen.iste it wl:., h., Lordship's sense of propriety. On lb* ether hand, 1 could not help persuading myself. that sock a proceeding was not ooly decorates in itself, bet might, the end, prove highly favourable to the honour end character of England. They did ant, however, give me time enough to 'Wise the foregoing part of my intentions; end, as 1 afterwards supposed, were too precipitate in making the discovery* ; for, on the arrest's taking ploce,l bed nocloolit in my own mind, but that a regular snare bed been laid for me; yet the governor gave me his word, that be Ins's, nothing whatever if such a plan; arid 1 was the more will. log to believe the assertion, en his having the can. (lour to acknowledge, that sppearaoces went quite sufficient to justify my suspicions. "Although removed from the reemptecle to which I was first conducted, end lodged in a less intolerable habitation, yet even here my confinement was of the most tignrous description. Prevented from bolding tomesuoication with tiny person except the attend tents, my new residence+ was directly opposite to I Longwood, from %hick it was separated by some sleep ravines. Whenever my eyes were raised, that object of my thoughts and wishes presented itself.— I sew its edisliffreo, and could easily retrace all therm habits so familiar to we while living there; bet it was Impossible to distinguish a single inhabitant. There I was something so truly mortsfjing its the feeling re whirls this species of suffering gave rise, that it re. minded me of the Tartars of antiquity : sod to the also.e torment was added another, not less tan. talizing, which recurred incessently to harass my mind : the Emperor was tntallly ignorant of the motives that led to my violent removal, fatality mould have it so! What then could be think, our tearing those about his person speak of my clendes. line correspondence ? Whet would his °Oldens end sentiments be ea such au unexpected occasion ?- 110 W Ibis be to account for my dissimulation towards himself ? One who, from habit, no less thee at- lactiment, would not have moved a step, cr hour& rid a single word, without making my intention known to him. I contrasted the error 1 had thus committed, exaggerated as it was by my fears, with tile affecting affability of his last coneetsatioa, and which was only terminated by wry arrest.

From his being extremely partial to this (reit, the servant was directed on bring then, to the spot, in which we then stood. Here, leaning with his back against a tree, he accepted himself in peeling some, after which I was cleaned to have my portion, and the Emperor •ten insisted, that I should put one into my pocket. It was at the closes( such an interview, that the dis graceful manner in which 1 was treated by Sir lied son Lowe might well base indeced him to suppose,. , there was something very inexplicable in my con duct : jedging from appearances, he was teen justi fied in reproaching me, and of doubting my fidelity. This painful reflection afflicted me more thee I can describe, and evidently preyed on my health.

The proceedings in the !fosse of Commons of lest night, as usual, inspires but little hope its the breast of the Patriot. It must disgust the Riad of an upright man to see how the subject of Lord A. Ilawt"ros's motion was treated ; a matter, es his Lordship very properly and truly said, not of mere local interest as affecting the Burgh of Aberdeen, bet of interest In every Bergh of Scotland, and to every inhabitant of that country. The fiat contradiction, of Ministers mud their supporters to the assertions of Noblemen and Gestlemen of the first character, the denials of fact, which to the by-slanders appears, obviates es the son at noon day, exhibit so degrading a picture to the honest unpracticed Patriot, that it Is painful to look at it, and yet the eye will suturally recur to it whenever the columns of a Newspaper are filled with debate. The following is a sp►cimen of what we have been oh. 1 serving :—Lord CASTLEREAGH said," The Noble Lord (A. Hamtvron) had dose his utmost to persuade the House that banked very little, that his motion was one that none could refute; bat in fact it was nothing else than to introduce Into Scotland a Parliamentary Reform, which the other side of the House could not obtain for England." Both sides of the house called not hear, hear! from which little could be concluded. Lord A. HAMILTON replied, that tin answer had been gives to his statement of facts, either by Lord CASTLLERAGII, or by the young Lord of the Ad. miralty (Sir G. Emil), w►om he pleasantly called the sacking Statesman—the pupil of the Noble Lord, who having now for the first time left the n y of Whitehall, had given so excellent a proof of his aptness under so able a tutor. After all, a majority of fire decided the question : a division, which in Lord NORTH'S time that Premier would have stknowledged to be a Ministerial defeat. The condition of the United Kingdoms at Ibis ■o ment exhibits a phenomenon. It is governed by Ministers, of whom we deny aoy man whotevet to affirm, or et any rate to prove, that they possess either the confidence of the Sovereign or his saltiest,.

The fortune of the country is deveriniating every hoer; and every well.informed person, riot scipmicrested in the t 0, .. sideratiuu, sees it plain coos*' ; not what can bedew.' If the mischief they did wer• greater still, there i+ too one reedy to stop it. The Wilms are nut of favour—their power as a body ilia abeyance.

In the mean while the press has dominion seer the minds of the simple and the ntherelf• grand, •nd thi. aintnineerinic pn•ase is directed chiefly by the despotic influence of the very teen whose acts we shall have to roe for. Wtit may Lord CASTLEILEAGII say, with a feverish •ppreiterreinse, " Ah, you want to merit • Reform in Scotland since you cannot effect it in Enrtand.'• —The very word reforms must be a basilisk's eye to such Lea. Of themselves they casinos quit the track they are in, although they should be sensible of the danger of its feeding to rein.
