signally disting,,,!ishesl for the depth and a.ceorLey
of his attainments as a 7fheologiat►---tor the riches
of his classical acquisitions—for the dign;fied cur-.
rectness of his deportment and manners, as the
head over his own large society—and tor the

AN AUTHENTIC ANECDOTE FROM

HELbNA.

(From the 13a114 Herald.)

Whatever'ciremnatance respects a character of
so much notoriety as Buontparte, though trivial
in itself,
.appears to claim the .atlention of the
public. The report to which the following docu-
menr has reference, was, " that a Bust of the
young Napoleon, which bad been sent to otia-
parte,te, was broken to pieces, by order of sir hind-
son Lowe, under the supposition that it concealed
important papers." Flom the source which the
Printers received this letter they can plonounee
its anihenticity. It was addressed by a Naval
Officer to Sir Thomas Reade.

" My dear Sir T—. Langwood, June TO, ISI7.
" 1 saw General Buonaparte yesterday even•
inn, and with as much force as I could muster,
explained to hint the falsity of the asseilioo that
you had recommended' that the bust of his Sort
should be destroyed, or thrown overboard. I
mentioned to him that I had seen and had had
some conversation with you, in the presence
of the Governor, upon the subject, and that
you had assured me most solemnly, that so tar
front taving done so, that uti had immediately
gone tO the Governor stating the circumstance of
the Statues having arrived, and that you had said,
that as this Statue was made of marble, and con..
sequentiy could not contain any thing improper
intentionally, you were of opinion that there
could be no imptopriety in sending it up di.
reedy, and had recommended it to be done ; that
if it lie.d been made of composition, why then,
indeed there won'd need a little consideration.—
I added that you felt much hurt at such a false and
scandalous accusation, and -concluded by assert-
ing my own firm conviction that it was a calumny.
Buonaparte replied, that he had beard the re-
} putt a few days after the anival of the ship
Leggerinente," that at first he had not believ-
ed it, as he could not conceive there was any object.'
in view, hut that afterwards finding that th, re
was so much delay in sending it tip, be had be,
lieved the report. He added, ">i melte (auto di
mister° negli atleri semplici"—thit people were
led to believe that there is something concealed
' which they are afraid should be known, and w hick
makes others suspect that something had is going
on. He added, however, that since this explana-
tion of mine, he did not give any credit to the re-
port, and desired me to tell you so. Before 1 saw
him, Cipriani had also told him what yon had
said, and the Admiral had contradicted it to him.
I told him that the delay in sending it up was
caused by the man who brought it being so ill
as to he unable to leave the ship, and that the
Governor was anxious to see him and get all-the
information possible from him conLerning. the
business prior to sending it up.

I remain, yonr's most truly, &e. &c.

Information was yesterday received that the
Trinity yacht was wrecked as she was going into

hands on board got safely on shore. '1 be vessel
is said to be much damaged.
