TIVIVIANITY OF NAPOLEON`BUONAPARTE.
ti REPLY TO THE LETTER Or lilt cliAnuts
WOLSELEY, BART.)

MR. EDITOR--f am convinced that thahumano
disposition of the late NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE is
only to be found either in the disordered imagi-
nation of our English soi-disant friends of liberty,
or in the iniquitious
.productions of those who
wore well paid by'NAPoLEoN, and who,areittll
' so by the relatives of him who ever was the arch-
fiend to the cause of liberty.
I must confess that I was, ninth surprised at,
reading a letter which appeared in the Sun'-of
Monday last, signed. C..•.WOLSELEY, (I‘llll'. I
suppose to be the .Baronet and a friend 'to the
cause of liberty: Lt.!) in which it is, asserted that
the conspirators; against the life of • BUONAPARTE,

of Francirliyi Captain 004 British navy, and out
ore Bryiskfrigate, &c. 'This statement, of course;
impliei censure on our Government, while it in-
dio6(ry * justifies 'the 'Conduct of ;NAPOLEON in
~putting to deathvGaptaitE.Wtight. Now, Sir, it

Iblikaiviitg to the activity and skill of our Admiral
Ois the station, Sir Jouw BARLASE WARREN,
they were brought to action and defeated off
Loughswilly. The principal Irish rebels thus
taken were TEORA LEI WOLIPE TONE and B. TEEL.
Ix°. The former committed suicide, and the
. latter was hanged at Dublin for High Trea-
son, in attempting to invade Ireland with foreign
hoops, &c. &c..
Those prisoners were on board the Hochs, a
French SO gun ship.; and the name of the Ad-
miral was HAnot.; and although he and the of-
ficers of his squadron had brought the Irish Con.
spirators to .their native land for the purpose of
overturning the Government of their country,
'they were not put to 'death! , They were, soon
after their capture, exchanged ! Here, then is a
proof that a legitimate Government acted with

rebels had when they went to their's.
Your Correspondent, the Baronet, says— •

" The Conspirators GEonaas and PicitEnati were ar.
rested. A quondam acquaintance of mine, who was among
them, was sent to a Chateau near Marseilles, waiting the fate
of a convicted assassin That his distracted family, hearing
the dreadful sentence which was hanging over his head, repaired
to Lyons, and, u a forlorn hope, his wife. and two of his
daughters there thing .theinielvis at the feet of him whom. their
nearest relative would have imirdered l and prostrate _sued for
that mercy which the Pittman* would not have received at hilt'
hands and his lifewas spared."
When u man, whatever his rank and station in
life may bay enters into the political arena, be
should be well prepared at all points for the com-
bat. If tho Baronet Is so prepared, your readets
will lie enabled to judge after the observations
which f now offer.

In the tirlt place, the conspiracy, as it is call-
-4.d, of 11CHEORU, CrEcpaEs, and MoREAu, was
hatched by BuoNAFARTE himself. The well-
known IVlEncf: t.A. TOUCHE, as appears from
his own work, entitled " Alliance des Jacobins
de France avec le Ministere "'Meals," published
in Paris in 1804, under the sanction of the
French Police, says so himself ; for in that pub-
lication he admits that the police of BUONAPARTE
obtained all the information respecting the mock
conspiracy, from a man of the name of Qv eltEr4r,e,
who was employed by the French Police in Lon-
don, like McuEs:, to prevail on the French
Royalists here to engage in the conspiracy.—
in the above-mentioned pamphlet, page
193, in a letter which he writes from Paris to
Mr. Du,kics; the British Minister at Munich,
about the time of the arrest of GEORGES, says—

" The Police has amongst the Agents of' GEORGES' men
who point out to them (the Police) the most active among
oE:mutts's Agents. A man of the name of QuEnttot, who
was appa.ently condemned to death, (as a conspirator 3 months
before GEORGES was arrested) told them all they wanted to
know." et.c. Sce.

Besides, GEORG*E3 arrived at Paris on the `2lst
of Aug. 1803, and he was not arrested till the
first week in February of 1804., What! Was
BUONAPARTE'S POliC4l SO badly managed that
such a man as GEORGES and several of his friends
could have remained at Paris six months midis-
covered ? Here, then, is a tolerably good proof
that BuoNAP,uvres life was not in jeopardy, us
he must have known from his Police spies at
Paris and in London, that GconGES was In Paris !
When I was at Warsaw in October 1803, Gene-
ral Duaoc, wrote to me that Gaonoas was in
Paris. All these particulars I stated in my Se-
era Ilistou of the Cabinet of BUOiIAPAItTe, pub-
lished here in 1809, ou my return from France,
and which work was never refuted. Indeed,
NAPOLEON himself has confirmed many of my
statements. If I did not think that the extract
relating to the mock conspiracy would occupy too
much space in your Paper, I would willingly
have subjeined it, as the work has been out of
print since the year 1811.
But now to the climax, about the quondam friend
of Sir C. Wor,sgt.ty " who was waiting the fate
of a convicted assassin at Marseilles." It so hap-
pens that all those implicated in what was called
G voila Es's conspiracy were tried at Paris, in June
180,1. Sonic were executed, and others were
pardoned, one only of the latter 14sttANcots
llru-
cuer.r.a, was sent to the Chateau D' If, near Mar-
seilles, where he remained till the King's resto-
ration in 1814,—consequettly the IlmtoNET's
quondam friend could not have "awaited at Mar-
seilles the fate of a convicted assassin." (An
hard epithet bestowed on a "friend," who was
no assassin, and was foolishly betrayed into a
plot by spies of BUONAPARTEO—As to the Melo-
dramatic scene at Lyons, about " the distracted
family who threw themselves at IItiONAPAnTE'S
feet, &c. &c."—All I can say is, that Niasowrs
