BUONAPARTE.

Sr. firm's t, Mitten Ib.—Since I wrote you last,it has brow
very evideut that Boonaparte is far from being content with
Iris residence here. Ile was wady offended,a short time back,
with some orders given by Sir Cockburn, relative to prohi-
biting any individual entering Longwood w itliont a 113A'. tro
this °erasion he declare:l that he wmild never rereive oily pee-
sun bringing a pass from the Admiral. a 5 he should immediately
consider that person of the saint' kidoey with himself; and
added, that the Admiral telling him the sentinels were merely
placed out of compliment, to prevent his being teased by im-
portunate or curious visitors. was only adding irony to insult ;
he also expressed, that next .o the British Government ba-
nishing him to sash a detestabi rock as St. Ilelensi, he conceived
their sending him under the direct' sof the Admiral to have
been the greatest injury they could have done him. Souse time
after his arrival at this Island, and previous to 116 bring finally
settled at Longwood, he ascertained that a Chinese was de-
tained and most unwarraetly considered as a slave, he
having by some mean+ been smuggled on shore, and probably
handed over to his first muster, fin• some paltry sam of
money (and of suck cotelact,it is believed, that many instances
could be produced); he tank an opportunity to communicate this
to the A dmirul, who immediately ordered an inquiry to lie made
into the circumstances of the case ; in consequence of w hick,
other discoveCes hovel been made, and several supposed slaves,
or persons hitherto considered as such, will be restored to liberty,
awl most likely to their native countries.— Ituonaparte enjoys
very good health, although the great humidity at the climate,
-
and the frequent dense fogs, do not permit him to take as
much exercise on horseback as he is thesirous of. In this ex-
ec rabbi. island, he says, there is neither sun nor moon to be seen;
and be has given it the none of Isk de iiroul.bird (Fog Island).
lie sonretinies rides out its the mornings; on one of these octet-
sions, in passing a field where some men were ploughing, he
alighted, aid took dissection of the plough•handle fur the length
of the field ; and ma returning drove the team the same distance,
remarking that it was fatiguing employment. Ile reeek the
intelligence of Murat's death with *cry considerable fortitude.
and appeared only anxious to know whether he had been killed
in battle ur Hut ; neither was it possible to discover, from his
manlier, whether the information produced any impleasant
im-
pression on his mind. Notwithstandiog the short distance be-
tween Longwood and James'-town, it was commonly reported
at the latter place, that he broke mot into the most violent in.
seetiv es on hearing it, and probably such has been the Kremlin
forwarded to England. N lien he was informed of the death
of Marshal Ney, he observed that he was at Move man ! a very
brave man ! Much persons us the Admiral approves of have now
liberty to visit at Longwood, by applying to Marshal Bertrand
( who resides at Hint's Gate, album a mile from Longwood) for
a pass to :liter the gates.—Marshal Bertrand is much esteemed
nv every one, for his great consistency,and the hommraide fine
of conduct he has adopted. Napoleon is now on better terms
with the Admiral than formerly ; he has discovered that the
conduct of the latter hiss been misrepresented."
