tii . o.T.iliAttft: The eliCifinsiance of BuoNapAr.TE's refusal tO bee Sir GEORGE CoCKElmv, %When he went to Longwood for the: pußose of introducing Sir 1-luctsort LOWit to him, was immediately after ve,,rtis explall44l to Sir GEORGE, by General's 13F.BTRAND atid Movruot.oN, ab having uri;Tinated in a mistake made by the porter of the lodge. It is not correct that Gen e r a l Bertrand hail signified his intentions tio abide by'the tortunes of his tallen waster ; he had expiessed a *i3h to return to Eutope at the expiration cif a year, for which Period only, be says, he pledged himself to remain with Buonaparte. It was expected, In cause= quence, when the Havannah 'sailed, that he Would It sent to the Cape of Good tiope, in the l'ineton, for Lord Charles Somerset to provide bins with • passage to I.;nrope. rt is a known tact, that the behaviour of Buonaparte toward Madanit Ber triintt has always been Marked with that offensive eoarseness and asperity, so easily excited in him by his dependants, upon any 'discovery of their defection in attachment to his person or service. General Gorgon did not sign the paper which pledged him to stay with Buonaparte during his caprivity, until after considerable deliberation, which was not at all approved by Bnonaparte, though he bad affected to hid all his followers not to cant:4ler themselves as being shackled by the aituttrinus they held towards him. Buonaparte speaks of all his campaigns frequently, except that of *aterfoo; and when that one is noticed, the Toss of it is invariably attribiited by him to a treasonable panic. Colonel lirilkes (late Go• vernor), previous to his leaving St. Ilelena, hail a conversation with Buouanarte, .which lasted an /vow and a half —a circumstance that was consi tiered the more extraordinary, as he had for some time shewn a steady dieing 'bullion to converse snore. than a few minutes at one time with any person;• and he hail, likew 4 ise, diseontinned tak ing exercise in those limits which he knew would subject him to the survellance of Captain Popple. well„ of the 53d regiment, who commands at the advanced posts. This new regimen, the product of his own perturbed state of mind, hid given him *very pallid look, previous to the sailing of the Travannah. It will be remembered that Bertrand' was included by the King of Prance in the Ordi. sanee or the 24th of July last, as being charged 'with Waging war against rrance and the Govern. *lent ; and that his subsequent condemnation was founded upon a letter which lie wrote to the Diik , of Fitzjames, offering fealty and allegiance.— liertratiLl says; in reply to this, that his letter'was ditteft on the 19th of April, and was written to the Duke of Fitefames when. the Compte d. Lille (Louis XVIII.) was in England ; that it could afford no proof of his treason to Louis XVIII. as it promised fealty only to whoever might be doyen to the head of the Government by the ?eke of Me. French people; and it was not this voice, be rays,. that placed . the present King on the Throne.

COVENT-Glittnat—Oti Friday night there were some smirks ~fdibapproh4 t ion on announcing the play Of Macbeth lot SaThrilay,.but when Saturday came the applause was unanimous. We Can rea dily gneiss why the plan its were bestowed ; but we are at a loss to imagine' why the symptoms of dissatisfaction. were .hewn. Are the Public dis pleased with enjoying the highest exhibition of histrionic talent which the'ivdrld can boast ? or is there any °pinion that because Mr. SIDDONS has, unfoitunately for the loVers of .the drama, retired from the profession site so splendidly adorned, that incompo able Actress Isb , itild not occasion ally mite forward for benevolent purposes ; or, .as in the present instal), e, for the giatitica ;ion of the young Royal. Personages, who have had nu previous opportunity of witnessing tlie wonderful powers of the British Melpomene.-- Sour, indeed, must that cultic be, who would insist on theatrical demise being as final as real death ; consign the bodies of those we have' so much .ind so often admired to everlasting obli vian; and, we s.ealt it not profanely, almost deny the s in of their souls. The parformanre of Mrs. SIDDOO9 in Lady Macbeth, was Indeed all soul ; and 4 Theatre im mensely thronged bore testimony to her excel lence bordering on the wildest demonstrations of delight., The Princess CHAIILOTTS and Prince of COBURG at half-past six preciNely entered the box ne , irrst the stage, in the circle over the dress boxes, 'and were received with the thou enthu siastic shouts, " God save ille`lCing" was imme tliately sung, the whole of the spectators standing. When this finished, Ilse plaudits in honour of the 'Royal Pair were repewed. tier Royal Highness con deseendingly acknowledged these greeting., with all her wonted _affability, and the Putsch bowed several times to the audience. At the end of the play, " God save" the King" was again sung, and " nide itritannia" wah then c►+lled for, and performed by the whole vocal strength of the Thea►re. The plaudits of the spectators in Iponottr of the Royal vi.►tants were repeated, and acknowledged as before. Their Royal Highnesses remained to see the enter►ain ment of Tom Thumb The Tragedy needs no detail of criticism : it is enough to say that Mrs Su:musts was as great tit ever, and presented one of the finest portraits of the . ambitious, and fearless h er oi n e, t h at ever graced a stage.---Mr. Vourso phyed up to her with great success in the Ttiane of Cavedor, and Mr. C.

(20ila D 4:) — The t oncotirse of Opectittors on I ieJt h yes, cr. day was more than there has heeti since liarotes first starting, and this morning he completed his 449th mile shoctly after nine o'clock. An unexpected diffieuby occurred on Saturday at the London Docks. Skins to the number of four or 6000, and a quantity at harill4, deposited in two or three of the warehouses, have been, covered, and o which, from some cause or other, no duty has been paid. The Revenue Officers in at tendance detected the onliosinn, rind having seized the merehamlize, according to the' esta Wished forms in such cases, Made the nittil re port to the Commissioorrs. A new steam :Vessel; named the Regent; of 112 ' tons, was tried on Saturday morning on the river. She' Went from Blackfriars Bridge to Battersea Bridge in thirty minutes, and hack through Lon dOn Bridge in fifty-two minnies-, A great deli- deratinn is, we tmderstand, obtained in the eon. strnetion of the mechanical apparatus by a coml. derabte reduction in the weight. The steam en• gine of a 24 horse power, the paddle wheels, and the machinery necessary to give and convey the movement, weighs only five tons. Tb Earl of HAUROWIY will go to the Gersnan Spa, immediately upon the rising of Parliament. His Lordship is subject to'* head-oche, for which the waters have been recommended; Saturday morning, bet teem) 84x and' seven, two men, dressed as plumbett, knocked at the door of a ionise in Devonshire-place, Paddington, and requested to examine the pipes, stating, tlkat as the main pipe had horst, they might b e i nun da te d, t h e credulous servant admitted them, and whilst one of them pretended to look at the pipes, the other managed to carry off a iilver ing and snufters' stand. It would be prudint, whvie the establish ment is small, for the servant to answer inquirie s' front the area, at such times a$ the family is not in the lower part of the house.

You seem to have thought, that by your rims 'strength, and your own threats, you shoZild not only be able to oppreis and intimidate your peaceable neigh bours, but keen to resist the strong arm of the law itself. How vain that thought, your present Situation , howl. It Was suggested abroad, that you bad been induced to perpetrate these Helen; outrages by hard necessity and want; but, after attending closely and strictly to the whole tenor of the evi dence, which has occupied the attention of the Couist for se veral days, there has not appeared in the condition, circnes stances, or behaviour of any one of you, any reason to sap. pose that you 'mete instigated byistress. By What Mutive, or under what mistaken advice or disposition, yost began to rid in the way yott did, is belt and perhaps only known to God and your oven consciences. The preservation not only of the good Order and knee of soCietY, the Preservation of life it%. self, imperiously calls upon the Court to declare, that many of you must expect to Undergo the full sentence of the laW. It is some consolation to tilts Court to be able to say, that in attending to and distingoisbing the gaits of each particular individual, we have fonntl in many of then 'circurnstatsces which will warrant us in giiing to many of you a hope that your lives will be saved.. The Geniternen Of the Jary have pointed oat some of yoti to 'bur attention,' and in so doing they have acted With that Merciful disposition and accurate discriMination which they hare Shown through* out the ivhule of your trials. Stich of yOu, whose tires May, perhaps, be saved by the Crown—that pewee alone 'on earth who' can ssve thent—Lmtist not eXpect that you shall be dissnitised front your offences without nndergoing some 'seVere punishment. Mali cir you must exec . & babe vent atVity far A greateror lets portion of girlie, and R ; few even for the whole pet it'd of their lives, from that country whose peace 'they hav'e tints disturbed, and which they, have thus disgraced.-- HUoian justice, however it may be administered, as ft is al ways in this country with mercy, requires that some of you Silent(' undergo the full sentence, in order that Mbar% may he deterred from follokiing the examples of your crimes. Yon William Beanrist the elder, you George 'Crow, yoU John tennis, you Isaac Halley, 'von .111 (#1441 SOUth the younger Ist me exhort you to prepare for that sentence: let me introit you to apply Youl'Aelves, doing the short romitinder of the tone watch can he allowed to you in this wroth!, br prayer and penitence, to ;slipcase that Almighty power whom you have offended address yontirelv:es seriously atutlerveptly to that throne of trace, Yro'ru which bereafterYou May expeet to find that mercy which cannot be extended to you hire. ,You 14 Mimi* Beamiss the elf,er are a person Whose condition in life ought to 'have taught yon,to restrain any unruly and turbulent disposition ir, your less enlightened neighbours, instead of becoming one of 'the must forward in the perpetratlon of those offenres which placed year town or several days in a state of trepidation MA alarm.

You endeavoured, on your first appearance in this plate, to represent to the court, that you had been 'compelled by force to leave the place of your dwelling, and give your assistance In plundering the in habitants of this city. The Jury to whom, this representa tion was refereed did, ever on that occasion, repudiate the evidence t two other trials followed, and you were found standing forward as the leader of that Wriest hand which catered this City for the:purposes of plunder and violence, and armed with a more dangerous weapon than the rest of yottr associates. You Isaac Harley were the first person who assaulted the Reverend Minister of your parish at his own door: you stood first of that wicked'assembly, and demanded money at him; and baring refused that moderate sum he offer ed, you enforced from him the delivery of his money by your aymttudilr streuth i (wed littit his dwelling, sod cioll'elicli hint and his Family to 4 tit that sate hour for their liro...Von Thomas South, the yo,unger, ammor to bare been _one of the most active in those wicked transaction's which took place in Tent tonfn I yoti took from One of Your neighbours the savings perhaps of many Yeats ; and then proceeded to another, and forced hill) to part with such slims a's you and your lawless compartious demand. With a deadly weapon in your band, you afterwards went:to the house of an aged Worritin, and shook it over - her bead. 'ln addition to thefie outrages, there are no less than four other 'eases lit which the Grand ;fury, of ynue country hare found hills of in:. dietmesat ae,"itiliSt. yam You, then, the Bre whom I here ad 'dressed, let me again exhort you to apply ymirselves by peni tenee and prayer to ..htain from Heaven the pardon of your -.., crimes.

Dieting 04 whole of_thiS awful sentence the pri - sunes were de'eply affected, and Were taken from the bar in an agony of grief.
