AND trlk YPONCI LAs CASES.
, The following article ix extracted from the
Courier of last night. the decided advocate of Sit
iind.on Lowe:—
" The following circumstances have conie to our
knowledge. ai connected with the recent occur-
rence between Sir H. Lowe and the soli or Las
Cases :--

The lodgidg at the Dog tavern. it appears by
information given to the police °Meer who wrist
there to inquire for young Las Cases, had Lean
taken for him by Mr. Holmes. who resides at
No. 3, Lyou'it Inn, close adjoining. Mr. Holmes
had called on the Thursday; and said that the
young gentleman would not require the lodging for
three or four da3r.
" Ou the day after the occurrenr•e with Sir H.
Lowe, the publication of Las Cases' journal was
announced by Mr. Colburn, the bookseller, 61
Conduit-street. Mr. Colburti having been applied
to for information respecting the young mail, re-
Pried the person applying to Mr. °Wean', who,
it is understood, resides in the same house at Lyon's
loin, with Mr. Holmes.

" The publication of 1,411 Cases' Journal ih its
original form, had been some time since announced
io the French Journals. The reason why thii pub-
licotion did not go on in that country, is nut pie-
cutely known, hut it is certain that since the publi-
cation of Mr. O'Aletira's work, the work of La,
Cases his been announced for publication in Eng.
land ; of course, stove Mr. Culburer says ro, young
Las Cases has not been employed iii this affair ;
but there is no doubt that the young man has been
living, or msticiHiing, nearly the whole time he has
been in this country with Mr. Holmes and Mr.
O'Meara, and as a Morning Paper has well remark-
ed, if he came over to resent the conduct of Sir H.
Lowe, it is siring, that he should bare bottled up
his filial piety and courage for a whole month at the
Dog Tavern, and that at last he should not have
sent Sir Hudson so honourable message, instead of
lying is moil, with a bravo at his back, to ensure
his own impunity.
. " Mr. Holmes, it must be observed is the only
English person, sod indeed the only person, whose
name is brought forward. in say way, to vouch for
fike Itutheutivtty.of Mr. O'Meitra's compilation ; fur,
it is to be observed, where Mr. O'Meara speaks of
Count Bertrand or Count Montholon. he refers
on.ly to them for the facilities he had in obtaining
informations owl out fur the fidelity of his state-
ments. Almost the whol2 of the other persons
spoken of in Mr. O'Meara's book, whether English
or foreign, Ire dead.
"Thus the authenticity of his relations rests almost
exclusively olio's his own assertions, particularly iu
what relates to Sir Hudson Lowe, backed and sup.
ported by a simple declaration from Mr. Wale',
that the original manuscript bad been confided to
his care.
" The Journal of La. Cases relates to a great
part of the seine portion of time as the compile-
bon of Mr. O'Meara. Hence many important me-
tives for desiring that the two narratives should
humanise together may be surmised.
" 'chat the public may judge oldie nature of she
relations previously subsiatilig between Mr. Holmes,
Mr. O'Meara. said the foreign persons who were
under Sir H. Lowe'. charge at St. Helena, some ex-
tracts are here added from a letter sent, at the same
time with some French books. under a false ad-
dress, from Mr. Holmes to Mr. O'Meara, whilst
the latter was supposed to be still at St. Helena.
" The discovery of this letter, and the consequent
failure. at least for some time, of the plans and
schemes it disclosed, with the disappointrneot to
the connivers, whether foreign or English, may well
acconnt for the inveterate hostility which has been
abetter) to Sir Willson Lowe.
The public, however, will beet draw their own in-
ferences; and, if young Lus Cases does nut escape
justice, they will have, perhois, still further oppor-
tunities of judgiug, whether his quarrel with Sir
Hudson war, in any sense of the word, a private
quairel, said whether, on the contrary. it did not
arise out of r cowardly ciinapirecy (of which Las
Cases was only the tout) against that officer, for
having faithfully perfumed sit important public
duty.
