‘‘The Salcette frign’e has just arrived here
fiom Cagliari, with Mr. Adair, British mi
nister to the Ottoman Porte on board. The
Salcette brings intelligence that Lucien Bo
naparte has arrived at Cagliari, with his
j wifo and family, and a number of his rela
tions, from Home, for the express purpose
of claiming the protection of Mr. Hill, the
British minister.
“This singular event, as might be expect
ed, occasioned much speculation at Cagli
uri, as to the motives and causa of so sin
gular an occurrence. From a source which
you may rely upon as authentic, I am ena
I bled to put you in possession of the facts ;
which are briefly these :
* Not long ago his Imperial Brother, who
is extremely anxious that all his relatives
should be matrimonially allied to such of
the old Royal Stocks, as can be induced to
second his views, sent peremptory orders to
Lucien, immediately to divorce hie firesent
wife as he had selected for him another of
u rank suited to the dignity of the Im
fieriul Family. In the same message, he
ordered him to take upon himself the go.,
vernment of the ancient capital of the world;
and to crown the whole, accompanied hisoi
tiers with a threat, that Lucien should be
conveyed a prisoner to France, in the event
of the emperor’s ordeis not being instantly
obeyed.
“Lucien, unwillingto repudiate his wife,
j and bastardize his children, and at the same |
time, well aware of tlie impetuous, over
bearing character of Napoleon, instantly
adopted the only means that were left to
him, vo escape the vengeance and dislio
nor with which he found himself threaten
ed, embarked with his family, and what
valuables lie had at hand, on board an A
merican vessel, and effected his escape to
Sardinia, for the purpose of claiming Bri
tish protection against the lawless and un
principled tyranny of his own Brother.
“ Of course, this protection has not been
denied to him. For the greater security of
these voluntary exiles, Mr. Mill gave di
rections that they should immediately pro
ceed to Malta, under tlie convoy of the Po
ino’ie frigate ; and there they are to remain
’till the pleasure of government is known as
to their tuture disposal.”

kept but 800,0001. of thd^Lmtu originally to
themselves (that is 600 0001 of the English,

ses ot Omnium since, in order to sustain it,
have alone occasioned the difficulties which,
in a moment of agitation, led to the fatal act,'
which lias deprived his country <.f one of its
most valuable members ; but for which there
was certainly nothing in his pecuniary cir
cumstanccs to account. If he had submitted
the same statement to a few friends which
within twenty four hours, li is partner has
readily prepared, he'wnuld assure Sly have
received all the aid which was necessary to
bring him successfully through his engige..
ments.
1 he amount ot the purchased Omnium has
not been stated ; but it is positively said Dv
the respectable characters who have looked
into the affairs of the house, that there
would bt a very considerable surplus for the
family ot the deceased, after fulfilling all the
engagements of the firm, provided that the
holders of , he Omnium (as securities -for
money advanced) do not improvidentiy
bring it forward to the market in a hur_
ry. If it shall be prudently reserved to
wait the public demand for it, all will be
well.
it was, ot course,necessary in this investi
gation. to examine the state of the account
ot the Exchequer Bills. With the Treasury
this account, as we stated, was even and
quit. But recently the subordinate Boards
who had received Exchequer Bills from the
Treasury to answer their demands, had
sent them, as usual, to Mr. Gotdsmidt, to
be sold, and the money to be paid to their
respective accounts at the Bank of England.
Upon this line of account there are sums
due to the Navy and Ordnance Offices, as
well as others. After the most minute in_
vestigation, and proof of the funds of the
deceased. Government has resolved to ah
stain from issuing any extent, or commencing
any process for this sum, so that no inter
ruption will thereby be given to the winding
up of the concerns.
With respect to the India Company, which
has been mentioned, the case is, that the
aid which they received from Parliament
was issued to them in the shape of Exche
quer Bills-and Mr. Gotdsmidt was en
trusted by the Treasury Committee of Lea
denlvdl-street, to sell them as they wanted
money He is said to have had to the amount
ot 450,000/. in his hands— - upon which he
had paid in 150 000/-and lie had received
notice that they should want the remaining
300 000/. on or before the 1st of October,
(that is yesterday,) hut for this sum the
Company hold Omnium as a security_and
in fact we beliete that a single shilling has
not been borrowed any where without a de
posit of Omnium-and every thi»g, there
tore, depends on those deposits not being
rashly brought forward all at once, as was
done in one case jesterday bv a very opulent
house, who had security in* their hands for
double the sum they had advanced.
The account with the Stork Exchange
does not appear to be large No intimation
was made upon it yesterday, which was ac
counted for by the lateness of the hour at
which the gentlemen returned from Down
ing s reel ; but it will probably he made
this morning. The estimated surplus over
all their engagements is, of course, after
paying their differences at the settling
day. &
1 he Chancellor of the Exchequer sent!
for the heads ot all the Government Boards
yesterday, to ascertain distinctly thepecu
mary transactions of each ; and we believe
j the issue of the investigation to be. that the
[amount of the Exchequer Bills sold and not

trom bir C. Cotton, under date 24th Au**-.
off Toulon, which state that the Honorable
William Hill, his Majesty’s minister at Cag
liari, had acquainted him that Lucien Bo
naparte had escaped (with his family) to
that place in an American vessel, and that
Mr. Hill, in concert with Mr. Adair, had
deemed it best to send him to Malta, till the
determination of his Majesty's government
should be signified, and that accordingly he
had been conducted thither in the Pomone.
Sir Charles Cotton has had no com muni
cation with Vice Admiral Martin, at Sicily,
since the 13th July ; but Mr. Adair reports
a favorable state of affairs in that quarter
down to the 28th July, which augurs the
probability of Murat's declining die attack
Fifty seven gun boats appear to have been
destroyed at one period, and the enemy be

Wc mentioned some days ago a report that
Lucien Bonaparte was about to emigrate to
America, and yesterday a letter was post
ed up at Lloyd s, stating, that in attempting
to carry that design into execution, h had
been taken by a British cruizer. The lat
ter report appears however, not to have
been correct, for when Lucien ’eft Italy, lie
went directly to Sardinia, and placed him
self under the protection of the British Mi
nister. Mr. Hill. It was staled that lie had
been forwarded by that Gentleman to Gi_
bi altar, but we believe the fact is. that he
has been sent te Malta, until the determi
nation of Government shall he known upon
tiie subject It is generally supposed that
Lucien has been induced intake this step
for the purpose of insuring his own personal
safe'y, and that of his wife. It is perfectly
well known that Lucien has uniformly and
steadily rejected all Bonaparte’s offers to
become a Sovereign, or even to accept a ti
tle, and therefore his name does not appear
in the French Calendar as one of the impe
rial family. Bonaparte, who has bad mo3t
convincing reasons to be satisfied of the su
periority of Lucien’s geilius, and firmness
in a moment of danger, has been very anxi
ous to draw him into his system, and as he
is too irritable to brook contradiction, it is
probable tliathe has thrown out some threats,
which Lucien knowing his character, did
not think proper to despise.
Bonaparte was extremely offended with
Lucien for his marriage with his present
wife, a Madame J/iuberton, the widow of
an exchange broker. The marriage took
place just before Bonaparte unit perl the
throne <>! France : as soon as the tyrant heard
of it, he said to Lucien, in a violent rage,
" Comment vous savez re qui passe main
tenant ft vou. alltz eponsu on Catin.”_
“ Lit bien,” replied Lucien, " die cat an
tnoens jeune et jolic.” This sneer which was
directed against Josephine, who was then
high in favour, so enrag'd Bonaparte, that
he never was Lucien afterwards. Bona
parte has, however, repeatedly since Lucil
en’s residence at Rome, pres'd hix to be
divorced fr in his wife, in order that he
might contract a marriage moic suitable to
'.^e imperial blood of the liottapnvtes ; but
Lucien, who is very much attached to her,
has steadily tefused lo'cnniply with this re
quest. It is very Jikt-ly that an apprehensi
on that the tyrant wculd t;.ke more i ftectu.
il means t«> remove her, mav have a great
influence upon Lucien's mind, and as Ma
dame Cucieu could not be without fears of
the same kind, it is probable that her influ
eucc was exeicised to Induce her husband
•o remove beyond the power of his brother.
Lucit u acquired immense wealth while he
was Ambassador in Spain, and it is gene.,
rally understood, that when ^»e negotiated
lie peace with Portugal, he obtained from
the Portuguese government a dtuceur of six
nii lions of livres, or about 280,000 pounds
sterling.
Wc trust that this man will he received
wiih every possible precaution, because we
are convinced from his-general character
that he ic not entitled to any confidence.
