THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

All good citizens have and can only have one sole object, that
of terminating our resentments. Necessity disarms even the noblest
courage.
The wish of conciliation k the offspring of all hearts, because it
is the expression of all interests. It will subdue all parties, it will
triumph over their passions becalm all 'milks are Frrnehmea.
" The advant-iges which France may yet hope for, depend mew
tially upon our intimate union with the King. I lad not the nation
united with its Monarch, we should have obtained from the Sove-
reigns no guarantee of independence, because we could have given
none for our tranquility.
ig A great nation, whatever may be its reverses, can still by the
voice of its King, claim, and cause to be respected, its rights; fur
justice is beyond the blows of fortune. The voice of factions is
justly repres,ed, and will no longer succeed even in making itself
!ward.

" There is then a decree of misfortune in the crisis of a state iu
u!►ich necessity prescribes that we shonl,l saeritice all passions to
the public welfare, and think only of the safety of the whole. True
duty. true patriotism, now require us to unite in one body. around
the Monarch, whose knowledge and emi►wnt virtues have so long
been proved. Our country, in resuming her rank among the States
of Europe, will find a durable prosperity to her fidelity.

LETTER FROM PLYMOUTH, WRITTEN ON MONDAY
EVENING.

"'The boats get within 50 yards of the Bellerophon and
Buonaparte is seen at the gangway for 20 minutes at a time.
lle always leaves the cabin and walks to the quarterdeck and
gangways while the cloth is laving for dinner. On Sunday,
the weather clearing up, which had been unfavourable during
the whole of Saturday, the Sound was again covered with an
immensenumber of boats, and the pi ensure was so great,
'bat the guard boats, with extreme difficultN, kept them' a
few yards only from the ship. As the time for the appear-
ance of Buonaparte drew nigh (a quarter before six) the ex-
ertions of the boats to get a " good birth" produced no
small confusion. About this time. wags on the pi oop of the
Bellerophon played water from an engine on the starboard
quarter upon those beneath them. The groans, los,es. and
shouts of the enraged multitude, however. were soon heard,
and the playing of the engine ceased. When Lin .naparte
appeared, the innernmst boats touched the side. A ournber
of distinguished personages were observed in the wen of war's
boats in the inside, under the ship's ladder. The same
scene, with little variation, took place on Nlonda‘. except
that the number of boats had increased so much on Irtlt
sides of the ship, that the guard boats were rendered usclesf„
and the sides of the ship were touched in every pail. Buo-
naparte, as usual, appeared at a quarter before six, on the
larboard gangways—bowed—remained three minutes, and
then went over to the starboard side, where be remained six
or seven minutes. There were 1500 boats in the Sound, all
crammed with spectators." _

MONDAY EVENING.—It is supposed that there were not
less than 10,000 persons round the Bellerophon this evening.
Buonaparte stood on the gangway aloout half an hour, between
six and seven o'clock.

The following interesting particulars were received r.n Fri-
day morning from Plymouth, dated Wednesday evening :
" •ir H. Bunbury went on board the Bellerophon yeti Tday mow-
ing, to announce to Buonaparte the determination of Government
as to his future destination. When St. Helena was mentioned. he
exclaimed, that he could not believe that the report %shtick he had
heard of such a determination would have been officially coi.fitmed;
that no power on earth should force him to leave the Bellereplion on
such a voyage; that he had thrown himself on the magnanimity of
the English people; that he would not go alive out of the Sound;
and that if his purpose was prevented, he hoped he could rely upon
his Officers to put an end to his existence. Madame Bertrand en-
deavoured to throw herself overboard, lint was preventeo ; and it is
reported that the while was a most distressing scene. When he ap.
peered, as usual, in the evening, before the multiunit s afloat, lie
looked extremely dejected and unw ell.
" Such are the rcpuits circulated since the visit of Sir H. Ban-
bury, and which continual to ciiculate at Plymouth a •d Plymouth
Dock uncontradieteil. In the mean time the Northurnbei land, &e.
arg hourly expected in the Sound, and some di eadful event is It.. kid
for."
" Shortly after Sir H. Bonbon; hail quitted the ship. an order
was issued to keep all boats in future a cable's length from her. It
was found Aupossible, however, to carry' the miler into effi.et on that
day; and on Wednesday evening the difficulty was nearly as great
as on Tuesday. The press of boats is overwhelming, and among
such multitudes of versons as are eullected, any other rapa.ore than
that of using guard-boats would be attended with mast di • ;tons
consequences.
• " Oa Monday evening a boat, with Iwo men, one woman, end
three childien, who were retaining from the Bouct„phon
was cut into two pieces by a lean of war's launch. Tie w
however, were saved, with the exception of a stone ma-on of his
Majesty's Dock-yard, an industrious worthy man, the hu,band of
the woman and father of the children. Two others who wtiL
picked up are not expected to live.
