St. Helena, May 7.
Sir,--I am directed by Isieutenont.Ocueral Sir Hudson.
Lowe to acquaint you, that having taken into consideration
the inconvenience that might possibly arise, if Napoleon
Buorrsparte persevered in the nuforeseen and extraordinary
resolution it is said by you and others he has taken, of not
Ravine; recourse to your medical advice, though living under
the same roof with him, and attending other persons of his
family, in consequence of the unauthorised communication
sou addressed to Cois! Bertrand on the 12th of April, lie \sill
-dispense with the ob'ervance of the rules contained iu the
instruction transmitted to you by me, dated the 10th of the
same month, from which the inferences contained in your
letter to Count Bertrand, so pe rposely calculated, as it appears,
to mislead and embarrass, were drawn.
You will, therefore, be permitted to continue the exercise
of your medical ditties in thesame manner as youbave hitherto
performed them, until the instructions or Government may
be received respecting you; continuing to be considered, as
you always have been, pursuant to your own original stipula-
tion, an officer employed and paid by the British Govern-
ment, and subject consequently to the Governor's authority
and control in every point that gnards your commnoication
with Napoleon Buonapou te, or the persoiri detairied snider his
custody as prisoners of war, on whom you are attendiug, es_
cept what relates to the plain and simple exercise of your
medical functions towards them ; being not ptrmittedde act
for or to be employed by them, or to act of yourself, or
throngli otters, in any matte: whatsoever that regards them,
in any other capacity, without a apeoial•authoriiy from the
Governor to that effect.

If, however, at occasion -should arise for calling in the aid
of any other meileal pei sort unknown to the Gus trnor (ex-.
cept in case of some sudden accident), in comieque.uce of
your absence, (which it will be proper to provide against,
by accrainting the orderly officer where you are to be found
ulienyori do quit Longwood); ur,that you skull break through,
or to attempt to elude or evade, airy of the regulations esta-
blished on this island ; or by word et deed you ars found to
be in any case acting in opposition to the same, the Goverrn•
will feel himself ea:lett upon to take such measures as the eir.
cumstances of your proceeding may appear to render it iie.
cessary fur him to employ, in order to enforce a due
ob-
screance of the several reridations established.
To obviate any step of such nature with respect to you,
the Governor desires year careful perusal of the several pro-
clamations which have been published inthis island (to which
you have Limn so I; egivntly referred both by letter and vet-
ballv), an exact copy of which you will find at the Town
rdajors office, and may write ont from the salve; as also of
those parts of my letter of the 19th of January last, which
refer to the sole case in which you are supposed to have a
partial exemption from their most strict observance, viz.
" That yon hod nut I:is authority fur eoinmnoicathig, %silk
Napoleon Bnoaaparte or the persons of his family, on any
other subject than your medical duties ; that he did not order
you nut to reply ou other paints; but where you did so, the
responsibility moat rest upon yourself, riferring you to the pro-
clu;Maioll3 in all other cusea.

Hr desires also the returreive of yonr particular attention
to the letter directed to be written to von by Lientottatit-
Colonel Wyny Mil, on the 3d histant, in referring to the leal-
ing points in which you have acted c muter to the above, and

contained in a letter transmitted to you, proceeding limn the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, against publishing
any iet'ormation lila may he obtained by belii officially ein-

delicacy of your situation, co-mm.4llrd igloo by yourself

DENAPPL; V. JOIINSTot4E.

The plaintiff in this ease was an apothecary, and in hie
appearance, reminded us strongly of ono immortal Poet's
Mantean Compounder of Drugs and Simples,—`• Sharp
eery appeared to have worn him to the bone." But it seemed
rather to the misery of disease than of poverty. He How
sought by his appeal to the Commissioners, to recover 14s. tid.
the amount of his bill for.drugs,and ails ice turuished to the
defendant's errs aut. The delivery of the ph..sie and the fair-
ness of the chat ors were admitted by the defendant, a jolly
looking son of Neptune, wl&u' countenatice proclaimed to
all ecuaad his sentiment—" Throw physic to the dogs •
none of it."—and 11.• slow resisted the plaintiff's demand, Oa
the ground that he had atreaily paid it mice, and that in his
opinion was once too often pay fur silt I) stuff. About four
months ago, lie said, his servant was taken ill, and 19 r. De.
mina was employed to make her right and tight aLtaiii. As
soon as she was well, he Relit her to the Doe tor or for her bill,
and gave her the money to pay it. Shortly after, Dr; Denappe
quitted their neighbout hood, without call*: on defeudiiiit to
say where he was going; and in about a month, subsequent to
that period, defendant having a suspicirm that Sa.ly was not
honest, her iniati,.iss having missed several pieces of Met', and
utlicr;;ef,., lie paid her her wages and discharged bt r. Along ten
days ago lie was surprised by a-visit flout the Doctor, and a
deiniauci fur payaitiiit of his bill, which it now appeared So;ty
had slot dPeharged. He submitted, howevi r, that lir -.:511:01
habit. to the paystieut a second time, since, but for the Doctor's
neglect, in not caking before lie quitted the neighbourhood,
he might have been paid longugo.
The Commissioners folly agreed in this opinion.—The plain-
tiff's loss arose out of his own neglect, firr which it would be
hard, indeed, to snake the defendant sutler. His onlv remedy
o until now be against the girl herself, if he could 'find her.
The plaintiff appeared greatly dissaiisiied with4he tiociOon,
declaring, on quitting the Court, that the Commissioners had
given him a pi:l, more bitter to swallow, and harder of digestion
than any lie had adunuiatered to a patient in the whole coal se
of his practice.

On FEN Fr urr ty WINTEil.—Let cherriev, strawberries,
raspberies, I,linto!e., peaches, or any other sneenleut fruit
nliatever, be put- into a vessel, somewhat like that used by
common confectioners for freezing ice creams, around which
put salt and ice, exactly us they do: the fruit will soon be
ti ogee, when it should be carried to the ice-house, and placed
1.11 a hole de; out in the-centre of the ice, and 'over the my
of eke lint* "quantity of powdered charcoal should be placed,
secured by a common watch-coat hien' et. When the winter
season arrives, the containing vessel may he opened, and the
fruit taken out in its Ouzo) state ; then piece it in cord
water to thaw, and it will he found as delicious as when first
gail:ereil. When salt and tee, iu the manner employed by
confectioners in general, thall be found inadequate to freeze
some fruits hard enough, the mixture lot producing an inttuse

CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS.

The irises cf West, who Rntrered on Monday last at Horse.
altionger-lane, has excited considerable interest ; anti hopes
were at one rinse entertained that his lite svoeld have been
spared. This unforturate person was tr!..tl at the last As-
sires at Guildford for has nig littered four 11. Bank of Eng-
land notes, knowing then) to he ftsrged. It is enstomary for
Cite Batik to select from their pt.:sailers cases for capital in-
dictment, anti to allow others to Arend guilty Co their minor
charge, which is that of Itavieg in their posseslors forged
notes. The punishment of she lesser offence is transposta-
tioa for 14 years. This-benetit was, however, denied toWest,
altheugh there was reason to believe dial the peculiar car.
consatemces of his case- would have entided him to the halal.
geeze. lie was but in his 24th year ; his character, which
was irreproachahle, has been attested gy several persons of
respectability. Even admitting that lie knew of the notes
being forged, it was evident he was unpractised in this- fatal
traffic and he parted with them in his own neighbourhood,
and to those who could at any time apprehend him. Ou
passive them, he attempted no coneealmeut or deception; he
gave his real mule and actual addicts.
West was some years since in the service of a respectable
emltster, at Deptford, who has given him an excellent elm-
!mates. It was at this period that he contracted an intimacy
with a fellow-workman named Lansdown, wise, quitted his
cmploy-ment, and went to sea. This person shortly returned;
end, being in distress, applied to West, who generonsly re-
lieved him. About two years ago, West left Deptford, and
entered into the employment of Mr. Barker, a maltster, re-
siding at Breutford, with whom he confirmed until May last,
when the malting-season being over, he was discharged. Mr.
Barker fully intended to employ Lim again. He as-•s
that West always proved himself' a steady and trustwotaly
servant ; and that he is certain the man is quite innecent of
any transactions relative to forged notes, while eimaaerl in,
and on quitting, his service. Mr. Barker has also stated,
that West was a young man of a very weak mind, and of a
disposition liable to be led astray ; and he has expressed his
full costs iction, that this untertunate individual has been the
instrument of the desicned villainy, hill that (if guilty) the
present was his first tdretlee. It also appears, the) the poor
fellow had buoyed himself up, tinder the Espial:kens:on that he
thocld have beets allowed to plead guilty to the minor of
fence ; on which account, he was not prepared epee hit trial
to bring forward witnesses in his favour, who otherwise
would have been called. The reader is levitated to recol-
lect, that it was in the mouth of May lest that West quitted
Mr. Barker's service. In Jane, he accidentally met Lans.
down at Barney. Lansdown apeeared to have several Bank-
rotes in his possession. He requezted Violas procure him
some silver, as he was going to Ireland, ann delivered two
11. notes for this purpose. West obtained the change, after
which he went to the Coach arid theses public-house at
Barites, mid-spent some time there 'edit several of his fellow
workmen. At this time a Wanmn, whom West had seen in
the company of Lansdown, enlisted the public-house, and in-
timating to West the dancer of Isis situation, advised him to
quit the place instantly : he did so, but had scarcely left it,
when a constable foliar/eta and apprehended him. On his
exeminatioa before the Magistrate, West admitted that he
bad passed the notes in questime but denied any knowledge
of their being forged; they were, in fact, the notes which he
bad received frum Lansdown. During his examination, a
person baiting to the neighbourhood produced a packet of
other forged notes, which be stated to have found under the
gateway of the public-house where West had been appre•
Leaded. West declare.) that he knew nothing whatever of
the utees. It is supposed that they had been dropped by the
woman, wise was evidently the colteague of Lansdown. This
eircumstance operated greatly against West, anti was praise-
1-ly the reason of his not being able to plead guilty to the
minor count. _ _

In reviewing the circumstances which have led to the con-
viction of West, it is far from being nor wish to reflect on the
jeers,' who tiled him, or on the Judge who pronounced the
..ivrthi sentence of the law. It i* a fart beyond all doubt,
fleet West did not pass the notes in quest' ; but it is clear
those who have invest:gated the case, that he Viai the dope
co ethers who were exteiesively eng,:aeol in this practice, and
who have on this occasion eluded justice. As to the guilt or
innocence of this yonug man, little need now be said. His
ate K derided; lie is sent to the tribunal. uf his Maier; anti
se trust that he has found the judgment-seat of the "-lost
inch covered with mercy.
