As we stated yesterday, the srrsng.eiait,111"F COW.
plete for instantly dispatching BONAPARTE. and his
handful -of attendants, w St. Helena. Yesterday
afternoon Sir Gioaoa COCKBURN took his Sul leave
of the Lords of the Admiralty, previous to his de.
pasture for Plymouth, to take the command of the
NORTHUMBERLAND. He left town in the course of
the n;ght. hit as our Port letters do not mention the
arrival of the NoRTUUMBERLAND at Plymouth, ore
presume that the necessary arrangements for her outfit
at Portsmouth were not completed as soon as expected.
Colonel Sir HENRY BUNBURY, the Under Secretary
id State for the War Department, and Admiral Lord
KLITH, are expected in Town in the course of to-day.
Oa Monday, it is understood, they executed their im-
portant mission of communicating to BONAPARTE that
he was regarded in no other light by the British Go-
vernment than in that of a French General, and
would be treated with no greater courtesy than 'an
officer of that rank who had voluntarily surrendered
himself to the enemy duritig the war.

We understand that BOPAVAIITE had intimated his
intention to remonstrate in something like a formal
Protest against his being disposed of at St. Helena.
Sir Hyrax BuNnunir and Lori KEITH are expeeted
in town to-clay with this precious specimen of special
pleading and Corsican logic, as it will doubtlesi be.
We are at a loss to conceive upon what authority,
drawn from the law of nations. BONAPARTIC and his
dapper little Councillor Monsieur Lois Cass. can re.
'Monstrati against the treatment the former is about
to receive. Setting aside for an instant the recollec-
tion of hit enormities, which we are still prepared to
contend pot him out of the pale of 'social relations,
be is about to receive the mildest and Most generous
treatment whiCh prisoners of war arcentitled to, and
we speak frum the authority of Gnunos, PUFFEN.
DORY, and Varrat..
_ Ail these.writers are agreed, that the termination
of the war does not, 'Oar fade, imply a general ex-
' change of prisoners. VATTSL. in particular, who is
a favourite with all Jacobins, and
.wlio, we appre-
hend, will be strongly dwelt upon by I I -MIA P.% Wl' R,
on Ciis refation, says expressly, (Book 111. c. viii.
.f 153.) that a State is entitled to detiiin I..iison-
i:re of war in captivity until a ransom or satisfac-
tion is made fur giving them up. in a subsequent
section ihe same writer enforces the doctrine, that the
lawftil Stivereign of a prisoner of war is bound to
of ply for his'llberty, and to satisfy the dentate' made
by' his captors fur his release. •

We appeehea;therelore,:t that, to use a homely es.
pressiti, Dim A PANTS C 2 111161 help l itAssit. He is, in
abort, cur prisouir of war, until his-lawli! sign

is pleased to apply for his liberation, and satisfies us'
for all the expenses we have been put to on account
of the hostilities of..that,Bovereign or the nation over
which he presides.
This is piccisely the doctrine of the greatest Civi-
lians of modern Eutote ; and they add n dicturnt
which, we hope, our statesmen will rigorously enforce
upon France, namely, that dui ing the captivity of a
prisoner of war, his nation is bound to provide for
his maintenance. We have read and heard some
rubbish about BONAPARTE, from the moment of his
ara ral at Plymouth, being entitled to the benefit of
our Habeas Corpus Act : the wise heads 'who vend
such nonsense forget that we have an Alien Act in
full force, which, in the case of fdteigners, suspends
road them, nearly all the privileges of the British
Constitution. We are surprised that none of the
French vagabonds, with the title of Generals, who
have polluted the British soil, during the war, have
not thooglit of this notable expedient of getting leave
to return to.FrinSe by a writ of Ilaheas Corpus, before.,

No fresh Paris Papers have *cached us to.day a nor
have we, through any private channel, received any
farther accounts respecting the French army. Is it
to be brought to that condition in which it may
serve the State and -maintain public peace and secu-
rity ? -eir is it Sidi to give law to France, and
threaten the safety and independence of surmund-
ing kingdoms ? If the 111NQ can govern the
Army, then, in restoring him, we have regained
Peace, or such a reasonahlt probability of it as
IS COUSiVeta: ikitik the experience of the world—but
if the .Army govern the KING. or if he have con-
ceived the 'union, that he must secure Minis-lt by
adopting their system, by up, as far as he can,
the place of Bosmeaure in their minds, and by be-
coming, a King of eft Warriors, whom the Usurper
lett —if this b.: their actual prevalence, or his view
of it— then would it be must absurd to negotiate with
tile. Koa, for whist must depend upcn the pleasure
)1 the Army.. The assemblage on the Loire is either
Literally the head-quarters of the French Army, or it
is that concentration, to which all the other corps
look. Svelter marched to it, as soon as he bad
'made his noamial submission to the King; the troops
irons the northern coast moved towards it, as it instinc-
tively : CLAUSAL fashioned Lis conduct by that of
DAVOUST ; and BRUNE; whin expelled tows Mar-
seilles, tried to reach him, notwithstanding his white
.-.2;kide. The conduct of the KiNo to the army on
the I...ire is, tht:rtfore, a criteiiiai of the sitnatinn in
which France must stand toward the Allies—“
marshals us the way that we should go."-7Nuw, it we
look to the journals for this, what do we find ? Not
that the army is to be divided amongst various gar.
risons, in doing which there Alight have been an op.
portuoity for disarming it, but that it is to go 'iota
cantonments. It is to seilislia ono body; for a Com.
ilia ndse is uppoioted to the whole of it, instead of
DAvoust.

The new Chief, as we stated yesterday, is to be
filactioNA Di a soldier of the Bonaparsian school, but
cne who did not break the faith he pledged to Loos
upon his return. As far then as regards personal
fidelity, the change has been well made, but that the
disposition of the Commander of a French army is no
security for its conduct we need go back only a few
•montlis to know. IslAcooN4D commanded the army,'
that went over to BONA PA RTE, as soon as it saw him,
and escorted him into Park, which it had left with
the loudest promises to defend Louts ! The act of
retaining this army is, therefore, not palliated by the
change of a Commander; and that act, we say, should
prevent the Allies from eqnsidering Loma XV Il L as
capable, in his present circumstances, of keeping
Peace with them.

Kew, &rum I.—Yesterday morn;ng the Dukes
of YORK and fiRNT came to the l'alace to p.ty their
respects to the QUEEN; and to enquire alter her Ma.

STAR OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.

Dispatsles have been this instint rmeived front
General Ditowsiono, the Governor of Ceylon, in the
East Indies, of rather a gratifying descr;ption.
The KM) of CANDY, (the Bonaparte of Ceyl-n)
who havbeen long a ferocious and barbarous enemy
of the British nation in that quarter of the globe, has
been taken prisoaer, after his troops were totally
defeated by the British and native Indian forces rent
against them. His power is, in fiat at an end, tad
his territories have beets aupexed to our Indian pos..
sessions.

The Officer who brought the dispatches, was alto
the bearer of the colours taken from the Coacher's,
and the sword of their King, surrendered by him 1:
token of submission. These trophies were conveyed
to Carlton-House, and presented to the PiaNu
R. sown. .

The King of CANDY, a few years since, barbarously
put to cleata, by the most cruel tortures, Seiretaj
British Officers who were sent to him ors a pat cal
mission, and it was Isis constant practice to treat all
his prisoness of war in the same merciless manner.
Major DAVY, a most intelligent and enterpri
British Officer, a few years since bee-Arne one of the
most con►picuous of this monster's •ictims.
