TEIEJNIAMNAL WIST

Othe island by the new garrison, as well as the attendants
of Buonaparte's, the Commissioners to watch him, their
suites, Sze rccordingly all was immediately hurry and
bustle. .1 torisions ewerienced a sudden and enormous
rise in rice . Fegs, which were before about 3 shillings a
dozen. noir advanced to a shilling apiece; almost every
other article of produce rose in the same proportion ; arms
even land itself assumed an increased valu,. of 50 per cent.
which is not mu, h to he wondered at considering the small
extent of the isl Ind. an I the still smaller portion that is fit
for cultivation, to fed the incvased number of mouths.
Upwards of 9CO troops arrived out in the squadron under
charge of the Northumberland. it great bustle took place
en the I lth, in making preparations for Buonaparte's
reception ; SO of the Company's soldiers were stationed to
cuard th:. gates, and orders were immediately issued by the
Governour, that no fishing boats were to be out of harbour
after four o'clock in the afternoon. On the 15th the fleet
arrived, when some persons from the town were allo''ed to
go on board the squadron to dine. It was some days be-
fore all was ready for conveying Buonaparte to the house
allotted for his reception. When he landed, he was dressed
ill a green coat, white waistcoat, light coloured small clothes,
white stockings, and cocked hat. The coat was trimmed
with gold, and a plain gold epaulette was placed on each
shOulder. • Ile held in his' hand an elegant telescope, and
cast his eyes around him with great eagerness to survey
the new objects ; possibly not without hope of noticing
seme particulars, which might, on a fit occasion, assist him
to escape. 'fire Company's troops on the islaild were
immediately to be sent to the Gape, to do duty there.

"The Redpole is just getting under weiLth for England,
and I send you by her the following particulars
;---
« We arrived here on the 16th, after a very long and
tedious passage, and landed Napolean on the 18th. lie is
now living in the country at a gentleman's house of the
name of Belcorne, until Longwood is ready for him. his
followers are all tired, and heartily regret, I believe, their
having accompanied him. Madam Bertrand, who ta'ks
pretty good English, exclaimed to me to day, that the island
was a complete desert, " the birth place of the demon
Ennui." She wants to go back to Europe. already, to
educate her children.
46 I dined four times with Buonaparte, mho talked very
little at table, and generally addressed himself to the Ad
miral. lle took very little exercise, about two hours
during the day after dinner ; he dispatched his dinner in
half an hour. General Bertrand and Las Casas are his
greatest favourites ; the others he seldom held any conversa-
tion with. lie played at cards every night, either at 100
or whist; in the forenoon at chess. Ile retired early to
bed, and rose very late. His spirits were generally bad,
and they are not mended since he came here.
" The island is very closely watched ; signals between all
the ports in the island and the ships ; guard boats and brigs
crdise round ; so that unless he can fly, it wilt .be impossible
for him to escape. No one is allowed to be out of the ship
after sun-set, and every ship is ready to slip at the first
notice."

acoordiog to the definitive treaty of Peace.

THE Duxt of WELLINOTON..—ne following statement
has been published, in consequence of an assertion in the French
papers, that the Duke had received a blue Ribbon, and the estate
of Grobois :—" It has long been thoroughly understood, that
the Duke is no fovourite of the French C.ourt.;..E..n eland, indeed,
seems to be the object of hatred.there, in proportion to the be-
nefits she—and she alone—has conferred upon the Royal party.
Ever since the Duke proved himself an advocate for constitu-
tional liberty in France, and aj protector of public justice, (by
restoring to foreign countries the treasures of which they had
been robbed), every opportunity has been taken, by Certain great
personages, of evincing to his Grace just so much of their dilike
as would bin this feelings, without provoking his serious resent-
ment. lam tokl that when the order of the Golden Fleeoe was
sent by Ferdinand to the Doke de Berri, the Duke of W. among
the Other Knigliti of the Ordei.„ was asked fo attend Hisinves-
t:re. On the Duke's entrance, his M. merely said, " Bon four,
Moor; roils naves pas vos derorc.lions ;" and forthwith turned
away from him- The courtiers, we need not add, were in the
same spirit, and his Grace was received unk ersally with the
most pined neglect. The Duke had too much dignity of mind
to complain of this rudeness; but after it had become the talk
the talk of Paris, whose wise gossips began to, chuckle at the
supposed rnortificatan of the Englishman, a Gentleman connect-
ed with the British Government, asked the Duke of%V. whether
report said true?—" Why, In.w did you co:pc to hear this," re-
p.lied.itis Grate " I sat sure l never spoke of 01" said

windinParis, and reached the circle of the Thuilleries. A
Courtier was diipatched to soften his Grace, who Wag not to be
easily ni.zistVicd, but repeated nearly• the same sentiments,. in
nearly the same terms. He was then sent for by the King him-
self, who tried to talk, him over. The-Duke was cow teous and
respectful—hufperfec.tly immovel. • 'Phis :interview was thus

Anti Attrition when applied to leather has •no smell, and
makes blacking appear more beautiful upon it, when blackencd -
over twice or three times after the dressing of Anti Attrition,
it also preserves the stitches in boots and shoes from breaking or
giSing way, and it is a most excellent thing for harness or any
kind of leather, it removes the defects occasioned by had tan •
ning, and prevents any ill effects from bad blacking, conse-
quently it makes leather more duraLle, and boots.and shoes will
last full one-thin d longer than they otherwise would do, at the
same time that the feet will be always dry.

The Earl of Strathmore listening to the complaints rf some othis
tenants, that the present low prices of all farm produce will not
enable them to pay the stipulated rents, has directed an ern:nth*
to be made into the circumstances of the different cases, with A
view to give relief whenever it shall be found necessary.
E. J. Littleton, Esq. M. P. for Staffardshire, at his rent-diy,
made a deduction in the rents of his immense estates, by which

Letters from Rome mention the discovery of a palace tinder
ground at Palestrina, au Campania. A broad marole stair-case,

open.
A Steam Engine of forty horse power when proFerly packed
with Anti Attrition, may be woiked night and day for upwards
of nine months with the same packing, and without any other
application, the expellee of which will not exceed ten pounds,
and to work the same engine for the same length of tune with
tallow, it would cost nearly 104. for that article only, besides
the expense of repacking every three weeks or a month, which
is saved by the-use of Anti Art irtion, which also saves wear and
tear to the extent of sarin; ts. out of ten; besides sa%
time and labour.
