aic effect it had—the total silence ; he seemed the victim,
nr at least the criminal, and had it been any other living
thing, 1 should have pitied him. This demeanour was
noticed by Captain Brenton; in whose boat I was, as per-
fectly different to his appearance the first day that he
shewed himself—then lie- wore his hat close over his brow,
although every other officer was uncovered, and only
once took it off to a party of Captain Maitland's friends,
who rose in their boats and bowed to him. This alter-
.ation in his behaviour might perhaps be owing to his
having learnt, only a few hours before, his final desti-
nation, against which, as I 'understand, he certainly
did remonstrate in the strongest way, even to begging
to be chained in a dungeon, or watched night and
day by ietitliiels—Any thing but St. Helena. Buonaparte
is corpulent, but not encumbered with fat ; he was dressed
for dinner, in white silk stockings, and white kerseyinere
breeches and waistcoat'. The corpulence and his upright
'carriage -gaye his head rather the air of being thrown back ;
his short aims'and neck are lost in his 'military air ; his
knee atiil leg, are gOod, which give strength to his person,
mid made hitri -stand well. What .1 have said of Buo-
naparte's behaviour comes from pretty good authority.
All .that I could see of his suite of Generals appeared in
the most gloomy despondency, and one man seemed in
agony when a.. vessel, crowded . with French prisoners,
ailed in just under the Bellerophon: the prisoners eel-
xleutly -knew who was there—they crowded to that side
