LETTERS FROI-I LORD BATHURST.
Lin /ER 1.-RXTRACT-11. LOWIL

" Downing-street, January I, leis,
Sts—l have received an.l forwarded to the Earl of Liv.r..
pool' the sealed packet enclosed in your dispatch, which pre_
&saes to contain the observations of ()emend Bonaparte upon
certain extracts from a report which appeared is The Atf,reitts
Cileaciek, of a speech which I had occasion to deliver in the
Houle if Lords upon the subject of his treatment at St. Helena.
" Although Cc rat Bertrand's conduct gave you fair reason to'
inferthat the packet contained nothing upon which it could be
neCessary'to require your observations or reply, and thereby in-
duced you to far to deviate from your instruettoos as n. trans.
mit le- unopened, yet, u It is found, on perusal, to ountaio a ge-
neral complaint of " your treatment of General Bonaparte, not
only from the time of your arrival at St. Helena, to dui linens
penod to which any thing I said could have 'referred, but coati.;
nued by a ncte at the close of it, up to the very day on which
it was delivered to you ," I consider it my duty, previous to rny
laying it before the Prince Regent, to transmit to you a cop., ty
the first opportunity.
" Had the General delivered the packet to you unsealed, as
the regulations (ha knew) required, tbr the purpose of leirg
transmitted home, I should by this time most probably have
been enabled to lay the charges and your answer fully before the
Prince Regent The delay which must now take place has been
altogether occasioned by the disingenuous conduct which 1.4
'been practised upon you ; and although it is ifficuh to under-
stand what'advantage General Bonaparte could have expected
twderite from tt, if his object had been the fair investigation of
hi's cote, It will, I am sure, in the event of any other sealed let-
' &hi bent sent to you fey transmission, prove to you the expe-
diency of.iitst'pennitting any feeling of delicacy to interfere with
:the strictimecutOn of your instructions.—l have the honour, &c.

..ABSERVATIONS,APPROVZD BY lONAPARTE.

• A' Thauere4blitthe Barkworth, anchored In the roaditof St.
Helena on'tbe sth of May, and on the 9th ditto, Sir Hudson
,Lowe sent n. Count Bertrand, without any accompanying re-
matkitkotninesesf extracts from Lord Bathurst's Correspondence.
"Spia.the 7th of October, 1817,- Count Bertrand sent to Sir
Hudson .Lovre. a •Pralkd packet, addressed to Lord Liverpool.
It containnd .4:observations made upon Lord Bathurst'. speech,
dalivirmd•bs Parliament on the 18th. of March, 1817. Tiia
packet waistline sealed up, becaum, the IF.mperor Napolebn
added theta words-4 I approve these observations;' I desi:e
they.may be.lald before the eyes ()Mite Sovereign and the peo-
ple of England; Had Sir Hudson Lowe insisted upon Its being
.opetnid,, Cdunt/Sertrand would have broken the seal its his pre-
sence, and put it into his hands open.' (Sir Iludson Lowc did
snake himself acquainted with the contents of the packet ; of :Cat
there ars proofs.) nes* was no occariou for these ciliservati,,. s
to becommunicated. to Sir,Hudson Lowe, since they were in
reply to • public•opeech delivered by the Minister in the inor.th
Of March,•lBl7. -The voluminous compositions of insults, e.,.
bunnies and abuse, Invented against the French at Longwotd,
and dispatched; by every mail going from St. Helena to Londim,
:sue norimpartod to the French until the English Ooverutrei,t
have deliberated upon them. A charge made by one of tho
ties concerned. is an unjust act, and null of itself.

" If, then, these bbservatiotts were not conununicatei to the
Prince Regent so meth the worse for the British Goverotr.erts
for the English Nation, for her Constitution, so much hm.s:t4
of, and now so much despised ; and for the liberties of her pro.
ple • for certainly, such an ccenerence could not have hank 14.4
in Russia, nor in Austria, nor even in Cont..trtinople.
" It would be right that the complaints of the French theaid
be nut unsealed to Sir Hudson Lowe, if the churn of t'ir
Hudson Lowe were communicated before tivir depar tore from
St. Helena to one of the French Officers, so that the calusauars,
' falsehoods, and uutroths, might be pointid out."
