of the Great King aad found. there protection and honour..
With far inferior claims to respect and far greater to hate;
has Buitnaearte now displayed equal daring. lie has selected
among nations that with whom he never exchanged any
thing but tokens of the bittetest enmity, and has thrown
himself upon her magnanimity! The official accounts of
this momentous event, in the French Papers, ale more cir-
cumstantial than the brief and general statement transmitted
by Fouche to Lord Castlereagh. It appears that Napoleon
finding it impossible to elude the vigilance of our cruisers.
as eleven British vessels blockaded the port of Rochefort
sine the Ist inst. went on board one of the ft ?gates intend-
ed to convey him to the United States, and sen' General
Bertrand to the fit itish Commander; Capt. Maitland of the
Bellerophon to ask a free passage. The reply was such as
he might haire expected. Far from granting the object of
the request, Capt. Maitland frankly stated, that lie would at-
tack the two frigates the moment they should attempt to get
out. Ile added, however, that if Napoleon would repair on
board his ship, he would receive him with all kind of con,
sideration ; that he would answer for his person; and world
conduct him to England. This offer, whit!), the French
Paper says did not exactly square with the views of the Ex,
Emperor, Napoleon eagerly accepted. In fact, it fulfilled
the wish which at the moment of his second abdication he
had transmitted to onr Goverment, and which had then
been rejected—to be allowed to retire to this country. Ile
instantly declared that he would prefer delivering himself up
to the honour of the English to every thing else; and tha
besides, he did not wish to risk the lives of the crews of th
tato frigates, in an attempt to escape in spite of the vigilance
of thecruisers. Shortly after he went on board a small
vessel, accompanied by some officers of his suite, and re-
paired on board Capt. Maitland's ship. Such are the lead-
ing particulars given in the French Papers; and the train
fact is fully confirmed by the short statement in the Extra.;
ordinary Gatettc. The Bellerophon; with Napoleon on
board, has probably ere now entered some of our ports ; and
that thdn, whose hostility so long threatened the national
existence and prosperity of England, is now reduced to bless
the inutility of his efforts, which left her the power of shel,
tering his guilty head.
The preparation of the state monis in the Tower, for the
reception of a prisoner of distinction, are now nearly corn-
pleated : superb carpets have been laid; and silk curtains put
to the windows. It is supposed by some that these apart-
ments are designed for the reception of 13onapartei
