BONA P .IRT E.

,The HAVANNAU frigate, Captain GAVEN W. HA-
MILTON, arriveil on Saturday at Portsmouth, from
St. Helena, whence she sailed on the 23d of Ap:il,
with Colonel MARK Wu.Ks, passenger, who had been,
preceding the arrival there from England of Lieutc-
uant-Geueral Sir Hoososr Lows;, two years Gover-
nor of that liland. BONAPARTE was in good health,
but more dissatisfied than ever with his situation. He
has sent by the HAVANNAR a string of complaints to
the Palma REGENT, %KM the subject of the personal
regulations to which he has been compelled to con-
form.

ZITRACT OP A LETTIR PROM ST. URLINA, DATRD 211 T
APRIL, 1816.

Sir HUDSON Lows arrived here a few days back,
in the Phretoo. after a tedious passage, and took upon
himself the reins of Government. The day after his
arrival, he proceeded to Longwood, accompanied by
the Admiral, and his own Staff, at nine o'clock in
the morning ; but in consequence of some want of
form in- waiting 00. him (such as not having first
asked at what hour it would be convenient to re-
ceive visitors, and probably the unreasonableness of
the hour pitched upon) Doe &PARTE refused to see
either him or the Admiral ; for the latter of whom it
is said, by the bye, he has no great affection. The
nest day, however, the mistake, whatever it, was, was
rectified, and Sir HUDSON Lows was introduced to
him I but it appears that he would not see Sir Goofier:
COCKBURN'', whether &tiredly, or through some oils.
take of the servant who was stationed to announce
visitors, I cannot find out, but shrewdly suspect she
fewer. After a few minutes conversation, Sir Hon-
SON withdrew, and Sir THOMAS Raw, and the rest of
his Staff, were introduced, who were received with
great politeness by BONAPARTE.
II It is whispered that an offer has been made to
all, or such of his suite as might be desirous to return
to Europe, of allowing them an opportunity of doing
so, by proceeding to the Cape in the first instance,
where Lord CHARLES SOMERSET , has orders to see
them provided with a passage ; and that such of them
as are not willing to abandon their old master in his
adversity, must sign a paper, the purport of which
is, that they arc willing to remain in the island as
long. as BONAPARTE shall be detained in it, and to
undergo similar restrictions to such as it may be
thought necessary to impose .on him. I understand
that they have all preferred remaining with Bose-
Pawn to forsaking him. It is also reported that he
may have Plantation house instead of Longwood,
should he prefer the former; and that on the arrival
of the whole of the 66th regiment, be will have the
liberty of extending his rides over the entire of the
island, saving and excepting the batteries.
i! With respect to the external appearance of the
rock destined for his future residence, had he ever any
intention of effecting his escape, the view of it, and
the precautions taken by Sir G. COCKBURN; most ere
now have perfectly convinced him of the utter imprac-
ticability of it. Those aboul him say that he never had
any intention of the kind; and that his sole ambition
noW is, to be permitted to end 'his days in England.
66 He is greatly dissatisfied with his sojourn here,
and frequently, I understand, expresses his indigna-
tion. *t the conduct iof the Ministers in sending him
to diis remote and hideous rock. The letters you
have seen in the papers, deticribitgthe Ladies of the
island to be grossly ignoradt, stud only able to arti.
enlace answer to a question, are false and
rous,ea.or ,for in
scan as there-are several very fine sensible and
enteitaioing girls on the Rock (some of whom balk
even been educated hi England), and who lorm.the
principal ornament in society here.".
