SIR HUDSON Wit E AND 11.111()N vtl LAS CASES.

Our mailers arc aware that Count Lis Casts w;:s
ioduced by his attachment to the late Emperor
Napoleon to ac • pally him to St. Helena—and those
who have mad " A Voice from St. Helena," will
imt target the cruelty and brutality with which he
was treated by Sir Hudson Lowe. The Count's
son, forgetting that cowardice and cruelty are
usually the imuates of the same breast, has attempted
to provoke him to pl tee himself in such a situation
as might have enabled a pistol-ball to have done a
share of justice, which the law liorbids—Wesuljoin
the account given by the junior Las Cases, as well as
that which appeals trout the Gallas! Major General

I was concerned; and I Audi proceed, Withollt further
preface, to enter on the subj.et of it.
• Yesterday I met Matur-Gen. Sit Hudson Lowe, in Pertain:4ton
Green, as he was about to cuter a hickory coach, when on al-
tercation ensured, during which I struck Imo 'tern.' the shoulders
with a horsewhip whieti 1 hell in my hand. Having thus chas•
ti,ed him. 1 instantly presented my card, but he thought fit to
arrow it away, wido ;.:t ttogning to read it. Upon this h tendered
him a secunu address, anti alierwenls a third, all of which he in
Ilk: manner tinew away. Ills servant maid. however, who had
by this time come oat of the house, picked up my cards,
and carried them into his re salence. when the hackney coach
e:rove off, and 1 proceuhrd on soy way.
Yew per,oris but myself and my to arc fussy acquainted

During our detentien at fst. lichen. we were arrested in the most
brutal stunner. :old subsequently keit in Clam: confinement during
one loofah. 6N .telA, and treated precisely like criminals.—
What slid inure tended so augment tors cruelty, was my health
being at that time in a very precarious state. Irons the drums

Phis eras repre,enteil to or Hudson Lowe by the plipecians,
who explicitly tinkle known to him that it was essenualty neves.
sary to the recovery of toy health. that I s! wild be allowed to
return to Europe, that I might receive the benefit of my natal
air. Stiehl a measure, hot:ever, would have been so durst op.
positiori to the secrecy in which he was desirous of envelopniL till
the proceolings oil the island. Ile demanded of Mr. U.
101earts, an °Metal report upon the slate of my health. Mr.
ri•Aleara, who uniformly contructed himself towards every woe
ed us as I..ecanie a Own a honour and humanity, delivered in to
tor 1 'orison Lowe, a report witch was dictated by hit conapiatice;
b it the Governor peeved deaf in every representation of feeling
and of both and my father ;owl myself were ordered olr to the
Cape of Gard Hope, where we were detained as irisaaers for
a even months, owing to the in: tructihns furwanled by Sir Hudson
Lowe. This captivity. coupled with the separation from his fa.
roily end his coantry, the mental anguish that succeeded. the
wtiik state of lita.to and the age rat my father, have been the
soirees Of those infirmities under which he now labours, and
which will continue to hear him down to Ida grave.
Alice our departure from St. Helena, Sir Hudson Lowe pro-
ceed...l to unproy those rheas's, with which he was so conversant,
to b;aeken my tathees character and render him an object of sus-
ineton to Napoleon and the French officers on the island. Among
whet things lie staled to General lietrand that Could. I.as Cases
had confessed that himself and other attendants upon Napoleon
