About twelve o'clock, the Tonnant's barge reached the
Notiliumberland. Bertrand stepped first upon deck, Bun-
naparte next, mounting the side of the ship with the activity
of a ,eaman. The Marines were drawn out and received
him, but merely as a General, presenting arms to him. Ile

Sir Ceorge Cockburne, "Je sues a vox ordres." tic bowed
to Lord Lowther and Mr. Lyttleton, who were near the
and spoke to them a few words, to which they re-
plied. To an officer, he said, " I)-m.s quel corps strre.:
...oils?" (In what corps do you serve ?) The Officer re-
plied "in the Artillery." Buonaparte immediately rejoined
"Je sors ectie service mnimemr." (I was originally in that
service myself.) Atter tak leave of the Officers who had
accompanied him from the Bellerophon, and embracing the
nephew ofJosephine) who was not going to St. Helena, he
went into the after-cabin, where, besides his principal com-
panio•-5, were assembled Lord Keith, Sir G. Cockburne,
Lord Lowther, the Hon. Mr. Lyttleton. &c.
Bertrand.—" l never gave in my adhesion to Louis the

Madame Bertrand appeared rrystlt distressed s said she
was obliged to leave Paris in a hurry without clothes or any
necessaries. She had lived in the house now occupied by the
Duke de Berri. She spoke most flatteringly of her husband,.

circumstances, and concluded by expressing a wish tGr some

Count Nlontholon spoke of the improvements made by
Bunnaparte in Paris; alluded to his bilious complaint, which
re(juired much exercise.

Tl►e Countess Montholon is a very interesting woman;

Bertiand asked what we should have done had we taken
Luonapatte at sea ?
As we are now doing, was the reply.
Lord Keith took leave, in the afternoon, of Buonaparte,
and returned on 'maid the 'Formant..

Lord Lowther and the lion. Mr. Lyttleton now entered
into very earnest conversation with him, which continued
tor two hours. As he was very communicativeeand seemed
desirous of a very free conversation with these two accom-
plished young Noblemen, they availed themselves of the
opportunity, and entered into a review of much of his con-
duct.

We understand that they asked him how he came to com-
mit the impolicy 4 attacking. Spain—the motives for the
rieihn and Milan Decrees—the war against Itussia—the re-
fusal of the terms of peace offered him before the first cap-
ture of Paris, &c. To all these questions we hear he gave
full answers, not avoiding, but rather encouraging the dis-
cussion.

At the expiration of two hours, Lord Lowther and Mr.
Lyttleton ttilik leave of them, and went ashore. '
His cabin in the Northumberland is fitted up with great
elegance. His bed is peculiarly handsome, and the linen

upon it is very fine. His toilet is of silver. Among other
articles upon it is a magnificent snuff-box, upon which is
embossed in gold an eagle with a crown flying from Elba to
the coast of Fiance—the eagle just seeing the coast of
France, and the respective distances are admirably executed.
The Valet de Chambres are particularly fine men. They
and all about him always address him by the title of Em-

peror.
The Bellerophon, Tonnant, and Eurotas, returned to Ply-
mouth Sound last Tuesday. The Northumberland was lying
too off Plymouth on Tuesday, though the wind was fair; but
it is supposed she is waiting for the Weymouth store ship,
which was taking in stores. Sze. and was to complete them
by the next day.

Extract of a letter from Plymouth, Aug. 0.--“ On Thom.
day, Buonaparte refused to exhibit himself, and on Friday
he quitted the Sound. The principal time for beholding Ilia
whole figure has generally been a little before six o'cipck,
just previouse to his dinner hour, in which time the mass of
surrounding boats exceeded both in breadth and length
every thing that can he imagined concerning it, particularly
on Monday, when 1000 boats, and. 10,000 persons, at least,
were supposed to be congregated, partly attracted by the ex-
imperial phenomentm, and partly by a wish to see the break-
water, only a few hundred yards from the Bellerophon,
where. to their surprise, they found a supply of porter, bis-
cuits, fruit, and even tea, coffee, and cream; on which,
after viewing the chief object, several thousands landed at
low water, absolutely covering its extent with population.
On Sunday a large portion of the spectators not only took 01'
their hats, but cheered him, apparently with the view of
soothing his fallen fortunes, and treating him with respect
and consideration. 4)n Monday, the future destination of
Buonapaite was officially communicated to him and his tie-
neral Officers, by Admiral Lord Viscount Keith and Sir H.
Banbury, Under Secretary .of State for the War Depart-
ment, which be heard with grief of the most acute descrip-
tion, exclaiming inarticulately, that his wish bad been and

ever since the above communication, has been sullen asset

with a sight of lois form, except for about floret minutes on

'On Tuesday orders came down for restraining all boats to a
