The Congo is arrived at Spithead from Bahia,
having brought borne the whole of the crew that
embarked except one, who died at sea of the
flux. Mr. LOCKIIMIT, from, the King's Garden
at Kew, and. the Scrjeant of Marines,' were left at
Bahia, not being considered as sufficiently reco•
vered for the sea voyage. Our Readers will rgcul•
lent that we were the first to communicate all the
eiteums:ances attending this Expedition end its
result.

The Party Organ of this morning endeavours

is its modest postulate
" It will be recollected, that the Report of

rested their statement upou,the supposed proceed,.
ings of three sorts of Societicsi The Londoit

saying that the " Report rested their State•
Brent," we really think , the Chronicle taxes the
memory anti consciences of Its !leaders too se-
verely when it asks them to recollect what its
own columns of only Friday last prove to be en-
tirely destitute of fotindation.' We will only call
upon the Public not 'to be misled by arguments
founded On on utter falsehood. 'rite Report of
the house of Lords neither says what is here
stated, nor any thing like it. -liven Monsieur
CLRAtiv, more 1110deat than the Cirortiefe, arms
not tillage that it does. 'flue passage is as
follows, and we ask its, common decency if it at
all resenibles the assertion of the Party organ
It appears that there is Et London Union So,
cicty, and branch Unions corresponding with it,
and affiliated to it. Others of these Societies have
adopted the name of Spenrean Philanthropists;
end it was by Members of a Club or this descrip-
tion that the plans of the conspirators in Loudon
were discussed and prepared for execution,"

It is hinted that I%iarslial liattTataso „and his
'Family intend to quit St: illelenn shortly—the
(
pretence is, the education of the children. If thi,
is permitted, a watchful eye will no doubt be kiln
on BERTRAND'S movements.

The virulence of Party has often been directed
against Ministers, on the subject of the lower
classes of people, and particulatly of those who
°me under the provisions of the Poor Laws. Mi.
nisters love been accused of an indifference to their
welfare, and of being regardless of the pressure of
Hinge Laws on the general body eat the people.
Lord Citamattv.AGrt, in particular, seems to have
Steen selected upon most occasions for the spleen
and malignity of his political opponents. IV'
conceive, however, that the most hitter of his
Lordships political enemies[ifihey have any feel-
ing of real patriotism and any respect for great

The Noble Lord on this occasion displiiyed
statesman-like knowltAlge Faui sagacity, as Well as
a kind attention to the distruhses of the inferior'
.classes of the community, %flitch entitle him to the
esteem and veneration of his countrymen. It was
highly gratifying to hear hint s,ity, what indbe'd,
Might naturally tic expected, that his alleagrues
were anxious' to co,operate tetoollllY in every !Wog
that might tend to lessen distress anti the
public borthens. Ilis obiervatiOns upon the ten-
dency of charitable establishments to dintinish that
dignity of character, and sense of independence,
which accompany the efforts of industry, were par-
ticularly entitled to notice, and evidently made a
strong impression upon the House. lie justly ob-
served, that when these feelings' were subdUed
and public spirit decayed, it was difficult, if` mitt
impossible, to restore them. Ile pointed out the
that resulted 'flout those acquisitions,
which were obtained by the diligence, and ens-
totged by the discretion of the individuals who
possessed them, observing that they conferred a
degree of happiness even far superior to that wlt;eit:
wealth and power can bestow, and contrasted*
with' the languor and indiffet cum which
tended those who were iLdneed to Max. from
their labours by the hope of eleemosynary sub,
sistence., Upon this principle, his Lordship main-
tained that it would be better to employ pee).
lilt, who Were unable to fool occupation sufficient
to support themselves, to dig boles one day and
fill them upon the next, ,because even such ern,
ployment kept them in habits hi industry, and sus-
tained their tense Of independence. It would
also keep them in health, and preserve their
bodily powers in due order for the time when
more useful and profitable labour might occur.
Upon the whole, his Lordship not only ac-
quitted Ministers of the charge of indifference to
the ease and comfort of the lower orders Of the
people, but manifested a proftmqd and philtu.o-
phi id knowledge of the human heart, and the
nature of society;.as,well as a (Inc sense of that
'd'gnityof charterer which ought to animate
chaises' of the community, and which gives grace
and energy to a State, in the estimation of all
surrounding nations.

`"rhe diipatches brought by this ship from Sir
llttnso.N Lows must have discovered to our Go-
vernment soinetitiog like a new era in the life or'
BUoN krARTE. When Sir 1-luosota took the corn-.
mend at the
_lsland, litroNavaaTa gave himself
Malty airs ; —one was—he refused to see any nisi-'
tors. ; atrother---he would not take any ont-door
' ste•
exercise.:. It would appear, that, as he could not
obtain the smallest relaxation of the regulations
established for his safety, he hereby intended to
render them practically inoperative. PUrsuing this
course, the want of exercise in the open air be-
came a powerful auxiliary to his perturbed state
.of mind; in sapping the foundation of his health ;
so that now his body iliscOvers strong symptoms
of weakness and emaciation, and his mind of
sullen despair. Ile does nothing with regula-
rity that depends upon himself : be will dine,
in he course of a week, at almost every hour
of the day, and night—from twelye at noon
tonil midnight. Ile is necessitated, the mo-
mem he rises in the morniug, to go into a war,m
bath, and there stay until he feels his sluggish
functions invigorated—the failure of which would.
quickly threaten his life. These new, cheerless,•
and uilaocial manners, as may be easily imagined,
have produced in his followers something Itie
a distaste for the company of a banished Fon-
peror,—LAs Cases 'has indeed plainly manifest-
ed a defection. It is expected that lie is play-
ing the game of a genuine E enchman of the Buo-
napartean school. Soon. after EtloNaPallTa ar-
rived there Las CASRs Commenced, as is known,

ing the sum of 6000/. which lisliTtlAWD Said he
had promised the Emperor, as they atilt call him.
LAS CASES remonstrated, saying it was all the
money he • bad in the world; but he at length
complied. There is a mystery in this circum-
stance, which time must elticidati. BOONAPARTR
is so fully persuaded orthe impossibillty of his
ever making his escape from St. Helena, that he
`'has been heard in gusts of passion to express hint:
self to this effect to BEivrantin. Three of his
domestics came to England in this, ship, on their
way to Fraoce ; One of them was his principal
valet : they left hint on account of his diminished

Colonel or Captain, he has no right whatever to
any, military rank; Ilootiaratere disowned any
particular knots ledge of hint front the commence-
: ment : both when he was sent to the Cape, and
when we took hint front that place to St. Helena,
the question was asked Of
