" Bonaparte on Tuesday wis seen the gr,eatest
part of the morning at the wiridows of the cabin,
generally in conversation with Bet trand or L'Alle.
:nand, and occasionally looking wait a small opria
Rlau at the gazing groups crowded in the vessels be-
low, of all ages and all occupations, and sometimes
appeared reading a newspaper ; but he had noun et
the usual French gesticulation, and his countenance
seldom altered. He is now very corpulent ; and 1011.
stetting that idea with the print of -him, full length,
as taken standing With his arms across on the parade,
or the older print of him, as musing in the garden
• •of Malmaisen, will give the best idea of his person..
He was dreised in a very plain green Coal with a
red collar, also perfectly plain, coming close round
his neck, the coat buttoned close on the breast, and
• cut back in the usual French fashism, sheaving a white
waistcoat and pantaloons; a silver star on the left
I.Nrcast, two large gold•epaulettes, a low cocked hat
perfectly plain, and high boots. his complvainn is
a clear nnitorm brown, no mnstachios or whiskers,
only his jet black hair appeari,ig before the ear and
a little behind. His eye is
.black, rather small, a
_ _

bteady, fixed look. The most remarkable feature is
the chin, which is very prominent; lips small; form-
ing altogether a handsome, and divested of the ideas
happily inseparable from his person, a pleasinv coun-
tenance: lie is Tither bald on the top of the head.
" Soon after five o'clock he appeared, walking
steadily the length of the quarter-deck, on the star-
board side, with L'Allemand ; Bonaparte kept next
t e side of the ship, with his hat on, rather attending
to his companion's conversation, than taking -much
part in it himself. 'He frequently used his handker-
chief, and otherwise bad generally his right hand
in the pocket of his pantaloons, and his lett throw-
. ing back his coat ; sometimes his bands just crossed
behind. He paused, more or less, at the end cf each
tutu,occasionally noticing some others of his suite,
who all mimed to keep at a cettain distance, and
L'Allemand and all, with their hats off. Captain
Namara was standing at the gang.way with some
of t is officers, and a French officer, dressed in blue,
covered v ith silver lace and embroidery, said to be
S. vary. There %ere two or three ladies,(Madame
Bertrand and others) much dressed in tar French
fashion. All St c med to treat II( naparto as the Ern--
rem- ; who appeared as one in thPught, walking a
very steady pace, quite upright, now and'then stoop?
ing a little to lark through the port-holes at the ors-.
sels alongside. His person altogether gives one the
• idea of a strong man.
44. At six o'clock the bell rang, dirmer was an-
mounted, and he went below, followed by his atten.
&nu. Our jolly tars, with their usual good humour,

put out a board, chalked—, He's gone to dine.'—
He remained, hc.wever, not much above half an hour,
when another board announced his re .appearance on
the deck ; where he resumed his walk in the same
spot, occasionally with a child, and conversing with
Bertrand or the ladies. He continued walking till
'tusk, when the view of this extraordinary man was
closed to our countrymen, for the ship sailed at five,
nest morning for Plymouth."

Captain Maitland. in Plymouth Sound, on Wednes-
days last, having on board Napoleon Bonaparte and
-suite, the .Eurotas and Briton frigates, then lying in
the Sound, were immediately ordered to anchor near
bet, and six gun-boats, with a Lieutenant aid eight
men each, ordered to be continually rowing round
her, to prevent any communication : so very strict
are they, that no boat whatever (except the Adroi-i
ears) is permitted to come within the frigates or guard '
boats, stationed about a cable's length distant round!

rnense numbers of people have made efforts to get a
nearer view, and have as often been peremptorily

sent a note to Admiral Lord Keith, inviting him on
board, which his Lordship is reported nut to have
answered. The Generals, Ice. who accompanied him'

66 The day after surrendering himself to Captain
Maitland, lie breakfasted with Rear-Admiral Sir H.
Hotham, on board the Superb, the yards being man-
ned to receive hint, which we must be permitted to
doubt, as it is not easy to believe that a British Ad-
' mural would testify such a mark of respect for his
' person, ,when he desired the officers thight be intro-
duced to him, whom he received standing, with the
same etiquette as when he was an Emperor. The
appearance of the seamen seemed to gratify him
highly. and the marines, at his reqiiest, exercised be-
fore.him. His curiosity On every point is.unbqunded,
tnd versatility of talent and powers of conversation
on all subjects, whether trifling or imporsant, mu-
Dishing ; such, indeed, is his appetite for information,
that he often freely addresses the seamen .and nu.,
fines. It is impossible, we have learnt from good;
authoriiy, to i..iagine the fascinations of Bonaparte's
address and conversation, which compel involuntary
esteem and attachment, and bereave even those most
inimical to !kiln in their hearts of all hostile feelings,
while they remain in his presence. Like the eye of
the serpent, some hapless bird, they appear,
to be irresistible, of which -we could :elate some sur-
prising instances. His doss in general is a green
swallow-tailed coat, with red cuffs and collar, gold
epaulettes, a white star on I'l4 breast, white waistcoat
and pantaloons, and a small cocked hat.
His Marshals are :Jurist continually on deck in
full uniform, in converse with their master, or the
ladies and children. Madame Bertrand has been pe-
culiarly inquisitive toners ning his destination, and
frequently hints that the Emperor is poor, having
only a million of francs, ra• forty thousand pounds, to
boast • of; while Talleyrend, formerly his Minister,
possesses immense wealth in all the funds of different
countiies. The number of strangers flocking to the
port from all parts of England deSes calculation,
and every boat and barge is in re.quisirien.
14 Yesterday (Friday) the number of boats ex-
ceeded all belief. Many thousand cpectators' Were
gratified with the sight of Bonaparte.. It is generally
supposed he will remain On board the Bellerophon at
this port 'loathe arrival of a messenger front Paris." .•
