P. S. Considerations spring op continually on this
most interesting subject. I would observe that de-
porta'inn in order to imprisonment in a distant and
hardly accessible island for life, includes trans.
• portatinn and inbnitely worse. It is wholly un-
known to our laws and Constitution, and repugnant
to them.

Srit,--The question whether the Ex-Em
FRANC(' under eli the circumstances attending his
surrender, ought to he considered as a prisoner of
war, is certainly a fair subject for digression, and if
discus,ed with temper and decency, it may produce
a beneficial result. The same may be said of the opi-
nion recently given by your truly valuable Corre-
spondent, Mr. LAPEL Lover, that our Government
could not legally and constitutionally send the cap-
tive Emperor beyond seas, as if tried and convicted
of a transportable offence. An opinion on a subject
of so interesting a nature, pronnunced by a man
highly distinguished for his extensive knowledge of
OP Laws and Constitution of this country, as Hell as
of the genoral Law of Nations, surely ought not to
be too hastily or ton petulantly condemned by those,
who were induced to espouse the otl:er side of the
question.

A writer in the Morning Chronic*, of Thursday
last, under the signature of Mau Awn BULIIIER,

thrown nut by so able a champion 14 our liberties as
