• " Lord Keith kilned us off Torbay, wi.eil v.e re.
ceivett tile celebrated General of the day. It
bi.• useless in-me to dwell on the manner ua v.lrc'iNt-
poicort was conveyed from the Bellerophon to !:.e
Northumberland—that you would bee in the .a. 17
papers. There was a commanJing majeqy it s
appearance, while he. coutnitrekl in the biat,
struck me as well represented in the prints; but in
his entre on the quarter-deck, the majesty of the cha-
racter decreas.d. l3ertrard ...scended
followed. I was breathless with erp ctation. The
guard received him as a General. tie was clad in a
green coat, white CaLinp, red collar, waistcoat,
breeches and stockings wi!ke, with a foraiir:o
cocked hat. He walked uncovered trom
way to the after part of the quarter deck. He oltrd
.to each individual, asked twenty quebtienr, and R'u
peared to smile with approbation at the irecepton
met with. He eat a most hearty dinner, came out
afterwards, and requested the band to play " Grad
save the King" and 44 Rule Britannia." His bead is
larger than you see in the prints—more care-worn,
pale, and wan ; his forehead thinly covera with hair,
but a luxuriance behind, and not a grey hair in it;
his eye is not black, nor could I perceive any thiag
remarkably penetratinig—it was quick, and he ap.
peared to watch every eye that was bent on him.
have had a great deal of converaihtion with Madam
Bertrand and with the Count; they are
learn the sentiments of the English nation regarding
their conduct.

" Bating the curiosity which is Naturally erci:ol
in the presence of Napoleon, our deportment on t!!t
deck while he is ob-it, is just its the notate of. 'air of-
dioar,r pmeedings. t Agent his Gesttosals neci
truss the deck where he steads, without unc vel
the head. The Imperial baggage is woeful in ills
extreme, and eahibas the itppearanee of a Itils,'2ll
campaign ; the attendants more like English gips.
and the Chiefs would !mind ou of st;otung pl.i)ers.
