[FROM A - PARIS PAPER.I The Princess Borghese, Buonaparte's sister, long solicited the British Government for leave to join her brother at St. Helena. She obtained permission, and Was making the neces sary preparations for the voyage when she was informed of Buonaparte's death. M. Bonavita, the priest, who left St. He lena in May last, has transmitted to this Princess the follow ing letters, to which the spirit of party endeavours to give im portance : COUNT DE 31ONTHOL073' TO THE PEENCE'S BORGHESE, AT 1103tE. " MADAME—Napoleon has charged me to give yoU an ac count of his health. The malady in his liver, which attacked him manyijears ago, and which is mortal iii this climate, has in the course of six weeks made a frightful plogress. The amelio ration produced by the care of pr-Automarchi has not continued, and many relapses took place during the concluding six months of last year, and the disease renders him weaker every day.— Napoleon is extremely feeble, and can scarce support half an hour's ride in a carriage, with the horses walking. He can just walk in his chamber without assistance. To his liver com plaint is added 'another disorder which belongs to this climate —his intestines are strongly attacked ; his digestive organs no longer fulfil their functions, and his stomach rejects all which it receives. For some time Napoleon has eaten neither meat nor bread, nor vegetables ;- he lives but upon potted meats and ices. Count Bertrand wrote in September last to Lord Liverpool to demand the removal of the Emperor -to a more favourable climate, and to convince him of the ne cessity of its being in the neighbourhood of mineral waters ; I have given M. Bonavita a copy of this letter. The Governor, Sir Hudson Lowe, refused to transmit it to his Government, under the vain pretext that it gave to Napoleon the tide of Emperor. Monsieur .Bonavita departs to-day for Rome; he has experienced the cruel influence of the climate of St. Helena; one years residence in this island will cost him six of his exis tence. The letter which M. Automarchi has written to Car dinal Fe,sch will give your Highness the circumstantial details of the krnperor's disease. The journals of London constantly publish letters under the head of St. Helezia, which abound with lies, and which are fabricated to deceive Europe. Napoleon hopes that your • Higluiess will endeavour to make known the real state of his malady. He dies without succour, on a frightful rock; his agony is terrible. Receive, Madam, &c. (Signed) " BIONTHOLON." COPY OF TUE LETTER FROM GENERAL COUNT BER TRAND TO LORD LIVERPOOL. " Longwood, Sept. 3, 1820. " My LoRD—I had the honour of wnting to you on the 25th of June, 1819, to inform .you of the situation of the health of the Emperor, who, since the month of October, 1817, has been attacked by a chronical complaint in the liver. Dr. Automar chi arrived here in September last ; he dedicated all his care to Napoleon, who obtained from it some relief ; but since this phy sician has declared, as appears from his notes and bulletins, that the decease had reached a poi,nt at which . the aid of medi cine could do nothing against the pernicious effects of the cli mate; that mineral waters appeared to him to become neces sary; that so long as he remained at St. Helena his life would be only a long agony, and that he could hope for no relief but by returning to Europe, his strength being entirely worn out by a residence of five years in the dreadful climate of St. He lena ; by the privation of every necessary, and by the bad treat ment of which he has been the object. " In consequence, the Emperor commands me, my Lord, to demand, as the only means of preservation which remains to him, to be transferred to Europe. (Signed) -" BERTRAND:" COPY OF A LETTER FROM THE MILITARY SECRETARY TO GENE.RAL BERTRAND. " Plantation House, Sept. 8, 1820. " Stu,—The instructions addressed to the Governor not per mitting him to receive letters in which the title of Emperor is given to Napoleon BuOnaparte, 1 am commanded to return that which you have addressed to Sir Hudson Lowe ; you will find it enclosed. " The Governor commands me at the same time to observe to you, that he has never received the letter which you state that yogi addressed to him, the 25th of June, 1819, for Lord Liverpool. (Signed) " GOERtGNER, Military Sec." There are three decisive observations to be made on these letters. 1. The allegation that the climate of St. Helena is unhealthy was never made until that island was chosen for the prison of Buonaparte. On the contrary, all travellers spoke of the salu brity of the island; all sick navigators went there for their re covery. Even Buonaparte did not resort to this argument in the two first years of his residence. He then pleaded that "he had not been made prisoner of war in a formal manner." It was in 1817 that the island of St. Helena suddenly became insalubrious. 2. The demand of being transferred to another place was made to the British Government by Buonaparte himself ; but Lord Bathurst, in a speech delivered in Parliament, declared that the British Government would not accede thereto, as there was no other place in the world, where, if he remained a pri soner, he could enjoy •so much liberty; that if he were re moved, it would be necessary to confine him more closely ; and, finally, that as long as he might be detained he would always complain. 3. It had been formally notified to Buonaparte and to the persons of his suite " that England only regarded him as Ge- • neral Napoleon Buonaparte, because the English Government had never recognised•lum as Emperor, and the dignity of First Consul had ceased to exist ; that consequently any letter in which the title of Emperor was given him would not be sent to England." The persons of the suite of Buonaparte knew, then, perfectly well, that by obstinately giving him the title of Emperor in their letters, they, prevented the Governor from for warding them. The non-departure of the letters is then, the result of their own obstinacy ; and if that non-departure has had influence on the fate of Buonaparte, that man, however great in other respects, must have died the victim of his love of etiquette. Be this as it may, the arrival or the non-arrival of these let ters in Europe was a matter of indifference, as the Governor was ordered to keep a daily account of the state of Buonaparte, of his wants and his wishes, and to transmit that account to the British Government. The contents of these letters were there fore known. These publications only serve to deprive the pri soner of St. Helena of the historical colouring under which it was wished to make his last years appear. NAPLES, AVG. 4.—The Prince of CANOSA has been removed from his place ; the Duke of Ascom has been appointed in his stead, the KING having first agreed to certain propositions made by the Duke. All the heads of the police have been changed, and the persons appointed, particularly the three Directors in Chief, are persons highly esteemed 'in the kingdom.—A duel took place a few days since ' between his Highness the Prince of in the Austrian Army, and a Russian Officer, who was travelling in Italy. The quarrel was owing half to LOVE, and half to a NATIONAL DISPUTE (ac cording to the authority most to be depended on); the Russian, however, was very severely wounded, and is still confined:— The Prince has left the Kingdom.—On Thursday last (August 2), about three hours after midnight, we felt a smart shock of an earthquake in thii city ; we however learn that the force of the convulsion was most forcibly felt at Castellamare and the promontory that runs beyond Sorrento. We have just received an account from an English friend, who is staying for the bathing season at a monastery in Sorrento, of the consterna tion it occasioned among the brethren—The Austrian regi ment Lichtenstein arrived from Lombardy a few days ago, and it is said the regiment Alexander will shortly follow. OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION. The Election of a Burgess to represent the University in Parliament, which has excited so lively an in terest, not in this place only, but throughout the country, ever since the elevation of Lord ST o wEr, r, to the Peerage, com menced at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, in the ek2onvo cation House. After some few preliminary formalities had been dispatched, the Rev. MICHAEL MARLOW, D.D. and President of St. Jcthn's College, rose, and proposed the Right Hon. Sir Joint NICHOLL ; and the Rev. FRODSHAM HOD SON, P.D. and Principal _of Brasenose College, proposed RICHARD HEBER, Esq. A.M. as a fit person for this distin guished honour.—No other candidate having been put in !mini_ nation, the Rev. V. THOMAS 'was about to address the House in the English language, when he was stopped by the VICE CHANCELLOR, who informed him that he could listen, in that place, to no observations, unless they were delivered in the Classi cal tongue of ancient Rome. It having been observed, however, that this law, .which, on all ordinary occasions, governs the pro ceedings of Convocation, had usually been dispensed with at sea sons of election ; and the Rev. Mr. Vaux remarking that he re membered such to have been the case during the con test which took place in 1807, when the present Lord Colchester was elected, the Vice-Chancellor was pleased to waive the objection, and to concede to Mr. Thomas the privilege of continuing his address. The Rev. Gentleman said, that he would trespass on the time of the House but for a very little time ; but that he felt himself bound, in the fulfilment of a public trust, to call upon the friends of Mr. Heber for some specific declaration in regard to his opinions respecting any future concessions to be proposed hereafter in Parliament in behalf of the Roman Catholic sub hects of this realm. This was a question affecting so closely, in is judgment, the vital interests of the country, and involving the security of our noblest establishments in Church and State, that he thought something more open, unequivocal, and decided in declaration was,indisponsably required from Mr. Heber's Committee. The little that had been put forth on the subject was guarded, and conveyed in general terms, and in expressions almost always the same; but this was a subject not to be discussed in a sentence, and dismissed, as it were, with a dash of the pen. In deinanding from Mr. Heber's friends a pledge of the most strict and unambiguous nature, and running out into something like a full and expli cit detail of his opinions on such a subject, the Members of Convocation could only act in consistency with the whole tenor of their former conduct ; they having, upon every occasion when the measure ..was brought before the Senate, addressed both Houses of Parliament in the strongest terms against any further relaxation of those laws respecting Papists, which were justly considered as the bulwarks both of the Throne and the Altar. Here, to corroborate his assertion, the Rev. Gentleman referred to the language of some of those peti tions sent up by Convocation to the Houses of Parliament; and concluded by declaring, with all possible sincerity, that he felt great respect and esteem for Mr. Heber's high character, and that his call for the pledge in question sprung from an earnest anxiety, heightened by the bold latitudinarian spirit of the pre sent times, to preserve all the institutions of this country unde based and undegraded by any impure admixture from the Court and Church of Rome. The Rev. Mr. Archdeacon CIIURTON then came forward for the purpose of entering into a statement of Mr. Heber's pretensions and qualifications for representing the Univeriity in Parliament; but considerable impatience. being manifested by many gentlemen present, and there being a loud cry of " poll, poll !" the Rev. Gentleman said, that he now for 50 years had been a Member of the University, and durhy; all that time he had never before the present time asked a favout of the Univer sity ;—he, therefore, implored of Gentlemen to concede to him on the present occasion some little indulgence, and promised not to abuse, by any exaggerated or unnecessary detail of cir cumstances, the kindness so conferred. He then said that Mr. lleber was the best scholar he everhad under his care, during the period of his being Tutor at Br a s e n ose co lle ge ; t h a t h e could con strue Sophocles very well at the age of 17; that during the interval of time which had passed since his removal from ALMA MATER, he had honourably and assiduously been engaged in making himself. master of those acquisitions w hi c h mig h t b es t qualify him to fulfil the duties of a Statesman ; that he was a most de cided antagonist to any future concessions to the ambitious de sires of Roman Catholics ; and, finally, that he had not can vassed the Members of Convocation prematurely, or in any manner. unbecoming the dignity of a Gentleman, or at variance with the established, tenor of academical habits. After dilating upon these topics atconsiderable length, the Rev. Speaker sat down amidst much applause, not unnungled with good humour ed lalighter. A letter was now read by the Rev..Dr.Ellerton, of Magdalen College, addressed by Mr. Heber to the President of that So ciety, in which he plainly and 'decidedly stated, with a view to obviate the misrepresentation and misconception which too commonly went forth on seasons at election, that his political views were wholly unfavourable to the increase of power in the hands of the Papists. The Rev. REGINALD HEBER then stood forward and said, that though he could not be considered as a disinterested advo cate, yet from the circumstance of his being more closely allied in blood to the honourable candidate than any one present, and more familiarly acquainted, on that account, with his opinions and sentiments, he would beg permission shortly, but emphati cally, to declare that his brother was a -determined antagonist to the enlargement of the political power at present possessed by the Catholics. In confirmation of this statement he would add,. that he himself, differing as he did most widely on this subject from his brother, had frecf9ently held with him an argumenta tive discussion upon this article of their political creed, and that his brother had strenuously endeavoured to bring him over to . his own way of thinking: the sincerity in which he held his opi nion, therefore, on this momentous subject, was most unques tionable. In regard to another charge that had been loudly and repeatedly urged against him—the charge, he meant, of a premature canvass, he could not bring himself to belieie that it was well founded. True indeed it was that be could not an swer for the conduct of every friend throughout so long a period as had elapsed since his brother, I 4 years ago, and immediately subsequent to the election of Lord Colchester, had announced his honourable ambition of availing himself of some future oppor_ tunity to offer his pretensions to the Members of Convocation ; but such a practice hail not been systematized into a plan, nor sanctioned by the wishes of his brother. The Rev. Speaker then proceeded, with much feeling, and in a strain of very impressive eloquence, to eulogize the merits of his relative, and hoped, with great humility, to be forgiven by the - Members of Convocation for having said thus much in behalf of one who .had been the guide and , instructor of his infant years, the adviser of his youth, and the sole and munificent patron of his riper manhood. The Rev: Mr. - HAMER' then said, that he had only one re mark-to Offerna the observations which Mr. R. Heber had ad.: dressed to -the House, respecting the fact so stoutly asserted, that neither he nor his brother had authorised the solicitation of any vote previous to the vacancy occasioned by the eleva tion of Sir William Scott to the Peerage, He had the Most entire conviction of the high honour and unimpeachable vera city of Mr. It. Heber, yet he must take leave to call to his re membrance that he (Mr. R. Heber) had, in his own person, canvassed him (Mr. Hamer) 14 years ago, shortly after Mr. Abbott's election. Mr. Heber, in reply, admitted.the fact, upon the faith of Mr. Hamer's declaration. It had, however, entirely escaped his own recollection ; and he trusted, that as he was at that time only an Undergraduate, the indiscretions of a boy would not be allowed to operate disadvantageously - upon the interests of his brother.- • The polling then commenced, and at the close of it, at five o'clock, the numbersstood. as follow . Sir John Nicholl. 2OB Mr. .Heber During the whole of Thursday the 'polling was kept up with great spirit, by both parties, but evidently in favour of Mr. Heber; and at the close the numbers stobd thus Mr. Heber tSir John Nicholl ' . . ..... 478 The poll was renewed yesterday morning, and was kept open till two o'clock, when - the friends of Sir J.

The Presenta , tions at the Drawing-room exceeded, of course, any thing ever witnessed in this kingdom ; and. his Majesty repeatedly expressed his admira tion at the beauty of our countrywomen, in that style of gratifying compliment, of which he is the master.. The dresses were of the most bril liant 'and splendid description, and diamonds blazed in the greatest profusion. llis Majesty never appeared to greater advantage, and the most juvenile female presented, felt ease and confidence from his gracious and condescending manner. At a late hour it was reported to his Majesty that the carriageshad ceased setting down company, and he retired, exhausted from the *fa tigue lie had suffered, and was in the act of changing his clothes, when it was intimated to him that the report had originated in the line having been broken, and that since his departure some persons had arrived.. His Majesty, without a moment's hesitation, and regardless of per sonal inconvenience, immediately returned , to the drawing-room, solicitous to preVent the disappointment which would have been caused to those who unfortunately arrived late. This act of considerate condescension was duly appreciated, and is another trait of his Majesty's kind and amiable disposition. The admirable arrange .ments previously made, and the courteous civili ties of the Lords in Waiting, and those - cflhe Household, insured to every individual present, accommodation and attention. After 12 or - clock, a cold collation was served; and the magnificence of his Majesty's plate, which was abundantly displayed, excited universal admiration.—Were we to particularise, where all was splendour, we should mention a plateau of the most•exqui site taste and workmanship. It was raised considerably, and presented a beautiful and unique appearance. This evening his Majesty will honour 'The Theatre with his presence. At this hour (four o'clock) crowds are beginning to.assemble at Pit and Gallery doors, anxious, at any inconven ience and hazard, to procure admittance. -We understand the most judicious arrangements have been made to prevent accidents from the pressure. —The Governor and Directors of the Bank of Ireland have issued cards to several of the No bility arid Gentry, to be present- to morrow, when his Majesty visits this truly splendid national Establishment.—They have made pre pdrations for a Dejeune, and from . their known liberality, it is unnecessary to say that they are on a scale of the greatest magnificence. His Majesty has also appointed to-morrow for his visit to the Linen-hall. On Friday, his Majesty honours the Dublin Society with a visit. The Members- give a morning entertainment in the Lawn. The preparations at the Mansien-House are nearly completed for the Grand Dinner to be given by. the City of Dublin to his Majesty,' to morrow. A gallery has been erected for the ac commodation of such Ladies as have been fortunate enough to procure ticketS. His Majes ty will leave . town on Friday (after having vieived the Dublin Society House) for Slane Cattle, the magnificent seat of • the most Noble - the Marquis of . Conyngham, where he is-expected to remain until Monday, when he returns in time to honour the UniVersity with his Company at din ner. The affability and,reeollection of his Ma jesty was. conspicuous on the day of the City'Ad dress being presented, when, on Sir William Sta rner's coming forward to kiss hands, his Majesty, in the most .condecending manner (while seated on this Throne), expressed great pleasure at seeing him, and hoped he was the Members of the 'Royal Family haVe been re markable for their recollection of names and persons. His Majesty, at the Levee, on Monday last, recognized, at a considerable distance, Sir Anthony Perrier, the Mayer of ,Cork, and con descendingly adverted to Sir Anthony's visit to Brighton, - when he presented the Address from the City of Cork,_ on' his Majesty's ACces sion, his Majesty received him and the Depu tation in the most marked and gracious manner. • On Friday last, the 17th instant, Sir CHAS. VERNON waited on the LORD MAYOR, to present his Lordship with a magnificent cut goblet 'glass and stand, with a medallion of his MAJESTY, sent by her Grace the Duchess Dowager of RICHMOND to his Lordship, to drink his 'MA JESTY'S health on the day on which his MAJESTY does the City the honour to dine at the Mansion House.—(Dublin Patriot.) The London and Manchester mail yesterday (Tuesday, 21. st inst.) commenced running the distance in"trio hours less time each way than it did before. It now arrives in Derby, on its way to Manchester, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon instead of twelve, and returns through Derby, on its way to London, at three in the afternoon in stead of two, thus allowing the inhabitants of this town two hours more time to answer by re turn. This arrangement, which will now admit of a general delivery of the London letters in stead of a partial one as heretofore, will be a con siderable advantage to the commercial interests of our town at large.—(Derby illercuey.)
