BONAPARTE.

The Larkins Easssindiaman, which left St. Helena
on the 15th of December, and reached Portsmouth
last Tuesday, is said to have brought intelligence to
Government which, if true, is of some importance:,
The rumour is, that a secret correspondence has been
' carried on by LAS CASAs, who accompanied him to
that island as his Counsellor of State ; that the Civil
and Military Authorities there, who detected the cor-
respondence, have discovered the names of several pap
sons of note, both in France and in England, who
were engaged in it; that the subject related to means
for effecting the escape of BONAPARTE from S. He.
lens, and ensuring his return to France.
On the discovery being made, LAS CAS AS, as 'night
be expected, was imprisoned, and is to be sent to
Europe; and increased vigilance was instituted ;or
the secure detention of BONAPARM

" Persons of note in England" concerned in a ti
respondence for such an object as the above !--'l.l
thing is not possible, and such an assertion goes isir
discredit the whole statemert. We confess that
are very incredulous on the present occasion.
are we sceptics on slight grounds ; for it can be
secret to any one, that a part of the arrangemeN
the safe custody of Bo mar= consisted in are;:
order, that no letters of any kind should be deliver,
to him or any of his suite without a previous in!
lion: nor is it such an easy matter as some may ii
gine for any person to gain admission to Lungw
It cannot be obtained witltuut a special perms,
from the Governor.

It is possible, indeed, that LAS CASAS. tired of
paradise, may have hatched up a sham conspiracy
effect his own return to Europe; as has been t
quently the case with sailors longing fo. see
native home on any terms. Have not several ,
duals accused themselves of madets and crimes,
which, when investignted, it was proved they tr
not hAve been present—having been at the time
King's ship then on foreign service?—But,

closer to the point : it is known that the Polish
who also accompanied BONAPARTZ to St. Hi
effected his awn expulsion from St. Helena by hit
ing up a sham plot pretended to be with same
diers of the 53,1 Regiment. The Pole 11171 a scat
