Ada,. Villatnez. When the hearir of,. c".4ea,
on Friday morning, at Admiral Lord,kcith's (47
flee, his LOrdship Was represented 10.1:se afloat,
on windi he itnmediately hired a boat and pro=
needed to the Sound. .

"As the boat approached the Tonnant, on the
starboard side, his Lordship., probably expecting
him, went down the larboard: side, and steered
for Cawsand, leaving orders, that if any, person
-in plain clothes enquired for hint, he .should be
infornied that he had quitted the ship. The Stran-..
ger shortly afterwards made his appearance - On the
starboard side, anxious to see his Lordship.
Captain Brenton -directly stepped forward, and
Opposing the emissary to he a foreigner, address-
ed him in Ftench, which lie seemed to feel hurt
at, declaring that he was not at Frenchman, and-
that he had important business 'to transact with
Lord Keith. On being informed that his Lord-.
ship was- not on board, he..departed in a sttite of
extreme chagrine and disappointment. In the
-intermediate time his Lord Ship had reached Caw-
sand,-whence he took a boat for the Prometheus,
then cruising off the RalllC Head, whet ein lie
waited the arrival of the Td.nnant, which he did
not join until after eight r. N. off the Eddystone,
as will,be seen in the following journal:— .

ANOTHER VERSION Or gAPOLEON'S CONVERSA-
TION, &C.

" On Mornhy.morning Lord Keith, Sir Geo.
Cockburn, and others, went on hoard the Belle-
rophon, to acquaint Buonaparte with his intended
removal to the Nortimmberland, and conveyance
in that thip to St. Helena. He appeared very
uneasy, al the communication, and after a lung
expostulation, sternly refused to go : but, on
Lord Keith's observing that such was the 'order
of his Governnient, and that he hoped..be should
not be under the necessity of resorting to coercive
measures : Buonaparte replied, " Oh uo, no, no!
You command ! I must obey You may take
me : but, recollect, I do not go with. my
Own free will." He then formally protested in
writing. against the act, before witnesses.—
He asked numerous . inquisitorial questions of
Lord Keith, which his Lordship very properly de-
clined answering. As soon As his baggage had
been removed from one 'ship to the other, the
parting scene commenced., which was truly affect-
ing. All Wept, but particularly Savary, and a
Polish Officer, (six feet two inches high) who
had been exalted from the ranks'by Buonaparte.
He clung to his master's knees ;—wrote an in-
teresting letter to Lord Keith, entreating,perrnis-
Sion to accompany him, even in the most menial
capacity, which could not he admitted. Previous
to the moment of separation', .Buonaparte gave
some of his Officers left behind, a certificate to
the following „effect, which had been first draWn
utp, at the general request, by General Gorgand,
and then -altered by Buonaparte himself, and
signed :

" Circtimstances prevent my retainillir you
any longer near me. You have served die with zeal. J harr
always been sr!tisifeil leith you. Your"eiiniluct on this last oc-
casion deserveslay praise and confirms die in what 1 hod rea
iron 1., expect from you.- Ou board the Northumberland; Au-
gust

The words, in Italics, were substituted by Buo-
parte, for : " lit my prosperity you have served
the with zeal, and by accompanying we in niy.,
adversity you have confirmed the good ooinidivi
had of you. Receive my thanks::
After settling With his followers and domes-
tics, he had about Mi.' to carry with him. Be-
fore he bade adieu to Capt. Maitland, litiorialiarte
shook him by the Land, with an air of cordialitY;
offering hint his grateful thanks for his polite at-
tentions, and also his officers, to whom he expres-
sed himself to be highly indebted."
After describing the Corsican's behaviour On,
reaching the Nortlitunbet land, and his convei*.
tion on deck, which coincides with the statemetits
we have before published; the Plynuntilijournal
proceeds :--
" A yacht, or large bout, with several °elide-
'Men of 'the Pay Office, had arrived to pay the
ship, who, availing themselves of t.lieopp,ortunity
presented by the folding doors of the cabin being
open, beheld, to their surprise, Baonapatte play-

as if nothing unpleakant had happened !---The

and it fUll of stores and biigOge. The cabin is

him a salary of 5001. per annum: but this gentle-
