It is In the same hateful spirit that or(ters bare been given
that the gniperar Napoleon shall not be allowed to write or
reckir e any letters, unless they are opened and read by the
English Ministers and the Officers at St. Llelena. They have
iuterilieted to hint the posSibility of receiving intelligence
from his wife; his mother, his son, or his brothers; and
when, in order to avoid the inconvenience of having bis
tetters read by subaltern officers, he wished to send letters
sealed to the Prince Regent, he was.told that the order could
not be departed from, and that the/letters must pass open,
such being the instructions of the. Ministry. This conduct
steeds nu obiervation ; it gives rise, however, to strange
ideas as to the spirit of tire Administration which could
dictate what would be disarmed even at Algiers. Letters
hare arrived at St. Helena, for the Officers in the,snit of the
Y.mperor; they were broke open and transmitted to you, but

nistry is not authorised to order any of these vexations t the
law, although unique, by ,whi.ll the' British Parliament re-

The Island of St. Helena it ten leagues in circumference;
it is Inaccessible every where ; brigs surround the coast

Which render impracticable any commatricathin with the sea.

an anchorage, and where vesscle touch. 'to prevent an indi-
