" IL M. S. Northumberland, Oct. SO, 1315.

" We arrived here on the 15th, after rather a
Pleasant, though long passage, of ten weeks ; and
I'ol,larart-re landed on the 16th in the evening;
Nvben it was quite dark : He was muffled up in a
large surtout coat. A guard went before him to
disperse the mob. You must judge of the state of'
lets mind and spirits by what he did and what be did
bat do during the passage. He never cause .out of
Lis cabin but in the evenings after dinner: he then,
almost without exception, went and leant against
the breach of the foremost gim on the wearlier-.
sitleof the quarter-deck, whence he never moved.

touversation : he appeared to take little noricenf
lis'other companions. His dress upon these oc-
tations, was invaxiahly a green coat, with two
plain epaulets, small-clothes, with silk stockingt,
and Pumps, with gold buckles. At the usual.eere-
-I'l°llY of passing the Line, which we did on the
23d of Sept. General IiuONAPARTZ 'made a, present
tO Old Neptune of one hundred Napoleons the
'tench Generals and children gave him a double
Napoleon each. Had BUONAPARTE ever enter-
.
tattled a hope of escape, when he Came in sight of
This place it must have been banished forever;
The whole world. beside, I should suppose, (10a

however he might have felt upon subjects
connected with bringing him here. He plibliely
thanked Captain Ross-, on the quartee-deck, for
Ills kindness, and requested he tvo''ld do 'the same
for him to the Officers. He appeared-very soh'.
