FOR THE SUN.

The following is the contradiction of this im-
probable addition to the history of Szaasn the
sailor :

Sin,—Having observed in your Paper some notice of
the Report circulated in the City, o►t Friday last, of an
occurrence having taken place at St. Helena, in which a
seaman of the Vansittart East Indiamm is stated to have
eluded the vigilance of the guards of Buonaparte, and
to have had an interview with some of his followers, an
event which is stated to have caused considerable agita.
tion in the Island, I beg leave to assure you that I was
at St. Helena at the time, and never heard a syllable
of the circumstance. It is a matter of little consequence
whether the affair is believed or not—but, for the credit
of the Authorities on. the Island, it should not too hastily
be believed, that the personal security of Buonaparte is 50
little attended to as this report would induce an ignorant
reader to suppose. Ido not say that it was not possible for
the thing to have .happened ; hut if it had, and had caused
th agitation described to have existed in a small Settlement,
I, who was there at the time, must have heard of it ; but as I
did not, I firmly believe the whole story to be a fabrication.
