Icon flonaparte.—Thursday evening a Messenger left town
with dispatches for Lord Keith, at Plymouth, relating to the
treasures to be pursued on the at ival of the Northumberland,
with Admiral Sir G. Cockburn, for Bonaparte. The'arrival
of the Northumberland may be expected this day.—lt is pro-
bable that this Northumberland will leave the English shore
to-dav, to convey Bonaparte to his destination, which is posi-
tiVeiv asserted to be St. Br:tem.—Mr. lbbotson is appointed
Assistant. Commissary to the Island of St. Helena.
The following
arrangements respecting Buonaparte are
_ _ _

handed about in the upper circles, in MS. but upon what
authority we know not:----" lle is to have one servant, and
Iris own cook ; he may consult any physician that hap-
pens to touch at the island , all his letters to be open-
ed bti• the Governor; he is not to be landed till a house is
fully prepared for his reception ; he is to he permitted to
exercise himself in any field spot of which the island will
admit, but is constantly to be attended by an officer and two
orderly men, who are to shoot him if he attempts to make his
escape, and is beyond the reach of their hanth; he is only to
be allowed such a sum of money as he may want for common
occasions; and finally, tire French Government is to be
wholly at the expence of supporting him."

COLONIAL DEPARTMENT.—Dow NI NG STREET, AUG. 2.
A Dispatch, of which the following is a Copy, was this day received
from Lieutenant General Sir R. Bt own, ieg, K. B. dated Kandy,
Vith of February, 1815, addressed to Earl Bathurst, one of his
Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State.
British Head•quarters, Kandy. Feb. '25, 1813.
Lotn,--For some days subsequent to the date of the
last di,patch which I had the honour to address to your Lord-
••ship, on Kandian affairs, dated 16th January, no circum-
stance occurred of sufficient consequence to be reported to
vour Lordship, the several divisions of the invading force
bring partly in movement, and partly preparing to move.
It was found. however, that great and apparently iusur-
mount:6le difficulties would occur in provisioning the troops
on so many routes, with our scanty means of conveyance,
and determined in consequence on a modification of the
plats. This alteration consisted chiefly in disposing the
march of the troops in such a manner, that the Ist and 2d
divisions, the 3(1 and the 6th and 7th, should arrive on
the same line, and, at certain convenient points, unite to-
gether; an arrangement, which, I am happy to say, brought
the supplying of the airily within our means, and laid
.the
ground-wotk of a successful progress towards the several as-
signed places of destination above the hills.
Ott the st cf February learnt by a letter of the SOth of
January frotn Major Hook, that the Ist division, under the
command of that °dicer, had reached Ganeteynni, situate at
the foot of the Balani Mountains, and on the great road
leading through the Pass or Gravet of that name towards the
tits of Kandy.
Lieutenant O'Connell, with the 2d division, was close in
,the rear, advancing to the same point from which Major
Hook was then to .diverge to the left towards Weywode, in
the Seven Korles, to co-operate with Captain de Bussche,
already in that 'quarter, with a small force, formed to supply
the absence of the auxiliary corps -grigihally expected from
Madras.
