LONDON JOURNALS.

-FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

filfornbv Chronicle.]
Lieutenant Coghlan, of the Navy, arrived in
-t0..v12 on Thursday morning, with disp ttches from
Sir Hudson Lowe," which were brought by the
Bombay Castle, which vessel was obliged by con-
nary wi.tds to put into Crookbaven, after a te-
dious passage of nine weeks. Ministers, how-
, ever, did not this time deprive the Attorney and
Solicitor-General of their rest, nor has the public
been alarmed by any new plot. We have been
favoured with the following account nt some re-
cent transactions there, which is extracted from a
Letter :—" A most disgraceful scene was pre-
sented to the inhabitants of St. Helena, a few
days past. Messrs. Harrington, at the Cape,
shipped on board of a brig, which arrived here, a
carriage for General Bertrand, which had heels
ordered several months before to be made in India,
with the knowledge and consent of the Governor.
The .rnotnent it was known to be on hoard, the
greatest basic and confusion prevailed amongst
the Staff here. The unfortunate vehicle was land-
' ed, the lining ripped up, the body, pannels, and
eves y atom of it brokco .to pieces, and the frag-
mews scattered Anus the wharf, upon the ridicu-
lous pretext that letters tor litionapatte might be
concealed in some part of it.—ln conseqoence of
the prohibition of intercourse between Iluotia-
parte's followers and the inhabitants, the trades•
. men to whom the French are indebted find it
impossible to obtain payment of their bills. Up-
wmrds of a thousand pounds have been due by
them for a considerable time to a house here, not
a farthing of which can be obtained. People ore
afraid of mentioning their names in public, or of
even being seen at the same side of the street
with them, lest they should become objects of
suspicion to the Adjutant-General. A new house
is buildinti for Blionapatte, in a hollow, about 200
yards from where he. now lives: It is supposed
that it will require four years to finish it, and that
it will cost, when finished, many thousand pounds,
no preparation having been made for
putting the
timber into frame before it was shipped from Eng-
land—and as the wh,de must he carried up the
mountain, chicfly by the labour of men, the dis-
advarta,.:e of a new and damp building will be
united to al! the unsuitableness of the present
'residence. thionaparte is never seen :ibroidd, and
neither the Governor nor any other Englishman
kno:vs any thing wore about him than that the
Orderly Captain occasionally gets a glimpse of
him Ihrongh the window-1)1;1111s."

*,* We give the above to chew the rancorous
extrut of party feeling, which operates even in
fato,lr of 11,- enemies of our country, and because
we are persuaded that a contrary statement will
be found (rue, and that there was sufficient ground

for suspicion with respect to the carriage, as the
minions of Buonaparte are capable of every pos-
sible artifice.

Tull KING'S JEWELS.—The precise means by
which these valuable appendages to the British
Crown have been recovered are not yet publicly
kno,en ; but the tact of their having been found
at Buckingham' House ig certain and undoubted.
It has been stared that Mr. Bridge was the dis-
coverer of the depository of the lung lost trea-
sure ; hut this, we are assured, was nor the
ease. Nit-. Bridge was merely employed to va-
lue the Queen's jewels, which task he concluded
on Wednesday, and it was not till tire following
day (Thursday), when the Regent and the
Princesses visited Buckingham House, that the
important discovery was made.
