fc A person; the other days = maintained that
the Gentleman on board the Bellerophon was in-
deed " very like the late Emperor," and Was a
very good actor; but, that he was' only a fat per-
thquier of Rochefm.t !"—../ctr:-)bin NO:simper:

* * * ; * * * and it tx o►►ld be
very odd if this Should 'really be theease.Shoild
the false Deuletrius have excited ail the bustle
and .hubbub with Which the Country has been
scandalized, and the
,sensible portion of its pOim-
lation tormented; for the Lst month !—HOw
wbitnsical it would be e:ere the ylrds madned
.fOr a Barber of Rochefort, and all the wonder of
Plymouth wasted on a twopenny French Shaver

Indeed there seems to he some foundation for
the story—for we were told t hRt when the Stranger
came on board the Mieroplion he seen; :A to feel
hin►self quite at home among the blocks,. and
Made no more (of the cordage than if it bad been
the net of a caul abut he tea; always (whis-
pers caution), well acquainted with the 'running
rigg-7-ing7

It is dear, however, that whether Barber Or
Buonan.trte, he knew his cue, and that his He-
tions.t.vere so Wonderfully congenial to both cha-
racters that they would well befit either. Few
men of any other description would venture
to beard a British Captain on the quarter-deck of
his own slip, or take him and his crew by the
nose, rrs this individual seems to have done. The
idea of the 114heas Corpus might be a'ccountcd
fur ott_ihe supposition.that he wished to perplex
the big-wigs, arid afterwards give them a dreSS-
.ing ; and the same
_frizeur propensities explaip
to a miracle the anxiety displayed at Plymouth,
forigettiug in to &kir. His apprehension of be-
ing put into irons Was the result of e:-:perienee,
and-his admiration of the curling waves the (con-
sequence of mental, associati.m. Similtrr Coni-
derations afford sufficient data on Which to .BC-'
count for his intimate cbunexion with the W(h)ig
Faction- in England—his hair-breadth .'sct;pes:
their hare-brained politics, and their fitting to a
