Bona amtre.—Extract of a letter from St. Helena,
dated January 12:
~ Bonaparte has at length hid,a differenee with the
Admiral, arising, as you may easily suppose, from
his bring so well watched. He did not like Captaiq
Popplewell :(53d Regiment) attending him in uni.
form : he considered it quite unnecessary, and that if
he were allowed to wear plain clothes, it would take
off much of the appearance of his being considered
,as a prisoner. T suppose, to try what effect a little
relaxation may have upon him, this wish was com-
plied with. and Captain P. attended him in his rides
in plain clothes. He soon assumed the most haughty
demeanour, and actually desired Captain P. to fall
had in the rear with his attendants, for that he knew
nothing of him as a companion ! The next day be
sent to Captain P. to say he intended to ride; to
which Captain P. replied, it did not suit hiin to go
nut that day, and that therefore he could not go 1
The, day. following Captain P. attended him, but in
' hisnuiform, and in-that station which became him as
hitittif charge of a prisoner. Captain P. guards him
at night,. by sleeping in the room adjoining to the
room he sleeps in, and he nest go through Captain
P.itereciat to go to his own. Bonaparte's conduct to

airotila a Irk specimen of his real character.

piles fortunes is well known ; he holds the rank of
.1 Polio. Count; but when Bonaparte was exiled to
Elba, he actually entered the ranks as a private sal.
diet; purposely that he might be with him. Previ-
ously to this, he had been long serving under him,
and, in several extremities, proved himself to be a
most devoted and heroic soldier. But, wll it be
belitived, when he went op to Longwood, he actually
affected not to know who he was—and, turning
round with the majestic air of an Easpereur, he asked
Las Cases who Mat man was ! The poor fellow was
thus not only most indignantly insulted, but, had it
not been fur the kindness of the Officers in camp at
Lopgvrood, he would have been in actual, want ;
they cook him into their mess : it is imagined he
must be seat back to England. I must mention,
that when the Missionaries at the Cape heard of
Bonaparte's arrival here, they addressed a letter to
him, iecummending his attention ta.the Bible, which
they enclosed, as containing principles through
which, it embraced, even an may obtain future
mercy: The Admiral so far sanctioned the deed, as
to let the packet pass en to him. Bonaparte read
the letter, and having done so, he shoved the book
aside, saying...o I know all about it.'—His conduct
to the poor Pole is a fine practical comaseat oa Ibis
