sembled at Plyttiouth front All partS of the king-
dom,. to see N.ii,auroN In 'his state of dnran-Ce.
The. most mintite incidents rekarding his stature;
countthlance, dress; gait, abd attitudes, have been '
read , with the greatest avidity ; hat the
Still'CCS we are. ith,,t!t to. detail, and the lookrieotS
which we.!: .have been favoured :whit 'a sight of;
p(O.SS tictgree of interet superior to any thing
on the subject that has yet come to out- Wotice.
" Mr. Mulligan; silk-mcrcer, of this
.cit*:, having;
repaired to Pktlisoutli„ on Wednesdayse'onight;
made the usual inquiries ahout the proper time to
go out and see the great object of ..public curio
sity ; .he was tolds o'clock in the afternoon would
be litiite eau lx enough ;. hut impatient of delay,lie
sectt.'ed a boat to and proceeded about 2
o'clock toWards the Bellerophon ; no other boat
had at the time comeotit; and he was allowed to,
approach within fifty yards of the' vessel—the
guard-boat alone intervening. It was a short
time after the final destination of Buonaparte
bad been officially communicated to him.—
Air..,lVlttlligan soon observed Napoleon at the
cabin window in the act of destroying papers;
which', after tearing to pieces, he threw into the
sea. Mr.:,M. naturally anxious to secure
.some
relics of this interesting eharactei., picket np
veral fragments:that drifted, with the ebbing of
the tide, towards his boat ;
.aud on his return
Bath lie Idiscovere4 Alley were of considerable
interest; if not iniportatree. They have been
tranitnitted to Government by. the hands of
Sir John Cox .HippesleY. Among them are
pieces of a letter from an American to Buena-
parte, dated Paris, June 22; enough of which
bas been preserved to disclose matter of such zt
nature as it would not, under present circum--
stances, be prudent to publish. There are also
scraps of minor interest; compdsing MS. Trans-
lations of the Speaker's and P. Regent's Speeches
at the close of the late Session ; a Petition from
some discimte'nted Orlieer ; acid a letter from the
ci-decant liitig Murat to Gen. Drouet, reonesting'•
his intercession with Napoleon in his behalf. But
the most perfect of the fragments is part of 6 101
ten front Buonaparte to Maria Louisa, evideotls
ivritten iannediately after his late-abdication. At
appears to havebeen the first copy, penned in Kw"!
poleon's hand, on paper made for his especial use,
with his profile and signature {"`Napoleon, Eink.
rear des Francois") in the water-niark. NVe
