M ItZSPECTINC

Stn--In answer to the qtieadous.coutaind in your ktter or
the Ist May, I beg leave to refer you to my letter of the 2.sd
December, 1817, which cortains a few of the verbal insinua-
tions which were repugnant to my feelings. that letter, which '
circumstances obliged use to write to the GoVernor four months
back, bears evidence to some of them, although I didnot ex-,
pect, in consequence of having written bt such a manner, that
such a visitation as the order of the 10th of April would have
befallen me ; I must also, be!, iravr to refer you furth. r to.sost:e

observations upon the lett( r written by Sir Thontas;fteatle, by
his Excellaicy's duxtiocL, W:4:Cil 1 will hive the fic.uour to.
forward.

" I must also protest against the repeated prohibitions brairtst
making known to the Governor whatiVer may be relative to my
defence. or any explanation which it may be:necessary to stlve
touching the' unjust accusations to which lam a victim. Whe-
ther the Governor stands forth as my accuser, or has constituted
himself my judge, in neither case can he nap..• upon me -any,
restraint upon any thin; which I may have to say, or upon any
matter which I may It .ve to bring forward to repel the caltuu-
uies to.which it is endeavoured to render me a victim.

I have had the h•licity of being horn in a 'free country
'where the laws alone dispose of individuals, no Jury or Court,'
would impose upon me the unjust restrictions in my defence,:
or wonld stiffer itself to be influenced either by conjecture, re-
ports of spies, or semi-proofs, three instruments of oppressim,
but powerless before Juries instituted by the wisdom of the laws
of England.
" I beg leave to reiterate, Sir, my desire to be brought to a
trial, according to the Act of Parliament, and I protest, and,
always will protest against the arbitrary confinement to which
I am subjected.
" I think it also my ditty to make known to you, as it is not
foreign to 'matters pertaining to my. medical 'duty, also for the
honour of the country; and also on account of my own responsi-
bility, that from What I can learn, the state of Napoleon Bona-
re's health is worse, and to suggest tolsou, that perhaps it will
be found hereafter, this intimation has been dictated by the opi-
nion of one who is zealously attached to his King and Country.

DECLARATION.
LoNewoon," Aran. 2!;,
° I declare, that slate the mongt of October last, when it was
decided by the Gfivernos, Sir Iludson Lowe, that no store Bui-
tains should be asked front me without communicating them
first to Napoleon. I have made none ; and that I have, in ad she
visits I was obliged to make to bins, at ills house, to report, to
wit, twice a week, explained the yrugress of the complaint,
which, from the lint day rave rise to a belief that it was He-
patitis, as will appear was my opinion, by a reference to the Bill-
lean of the lst and 501 of October; an opinion rendered more
probable by the frequency of the complaint in, ids Wand, and
which has latterly been conv.-rtcd into a certalnti. At first,
there were some symptoms indicative of the attack of the disease
in an acute form, but thz.c aocaratieLs were af,vrwarda attri-
buted to sewn: catarrh.

'I declare also, that,partictlarly on the 28th of November,
18th, 2dth and 27th of &member, 1817; 9th and 16th of „fs...
nuary,„2sth of March, 541 and 7th of April, 1618, I repor:,.(l
the symptoms of the complaint as having Increased for the
worse ; and that on the 2.lth of bt.nrch I declared to the Cc-
vernor, that I conceived the disease to be hepatitis not very fr.r
advanced; explaining tolim that the progress of the complain:
was occasionally very, slow. and.insidiona ; but that if Napcican
Bonaparte were a saidier or a sailor, and that -I were at liberty
to treat him acooreling to my. opinion, I would put in practice,
first, repeated and active ,trying, with exercise, espetially on
horseback (the first part of which plan, viz. the pursatives,
been' put in exczution fur some time) ; a.:il that if these inea..•
did not subdue it. I would commence speedily a course of eslo-
old, or some preparation of mercury. That I have constantly
expbined the progress of the disease, the symptoms cif which
have been at times better, at. times worse, according to the state
of the bowels, skin, and to the effect of the remedies taken...—
That I have constantly represented the pressing necessity which
the pathmt bad of talting exercise on horseback, and that on the
45th of'March, when tbo Governor asked me' Why he did sot
-so out and ride cut horseback?* I answered, I did not know
the reasons which prevented him.

. .
In consequence of the abusive language, violence and bad
treatment which I experienced from th.: Governor, wbenevirr
' I delivered an opinion or sentiment not-consonact to his own
I was neceiwitated to come to a determination not to tneelclA;
iu discussions foreign to medical subjects. I z.l,n certify, that I
never did ask to quit Longwood ; but that when it lira, signifed
"to me by the Governor, that he had some intention of imposisg
upon me the same restrictions as those inflimed upon the krenets
prisoners, I declared to him that I would sooner resign shin
submit to such; that I also explained to hint, in .Ihly last, .thit
I had been informed he had appliedkr.my fecal, which drt*
