is well known was a favourite with Bonaparte) and

monarch and assumed the manners and ffugality of the
see chorite,Captain L. is unable to decide ; but, on drink-
iag a draught, one of these ladies seriously observed,
" How happy Bonaparte most hove been to have such
delicious water to drink." Captain L. could not help
smiling at the philosophy of the female, who could Cod

and liberty, sod power, and domestic affection.

loon before the death of Bonaparte, she asked-
the cattle of an interview, " under whose protection hie
wished to leave bit son ?" " 1 will leave my son under
the pristedtion of the. French army," • was the reply..
Captaio L. bad visited St. Helena twice during the had
,prisonment of Bonaparte ; first in the Triton, of Liver-
pool, with despatches for the Governor ; and, secondly,
i:t the Christopher, of this port also. sad likewise with
despatches. On the first occasion be was permitted to
see Bonaparte walking in his garden : on the second, he
declined seeing strangers. Th:: whole of the servants
attached to the household bad left the island. Captain
L. remark'', that previous to the restrictions on shipping,
in consequence of the imprisonment of Bonaparte, the
native inhabitants subsisted chiefly by the raising of
stock and vegetables. for the supply of the ships on their
'way to India. They were rendered very destitute for some
time after the restriction. but eventually supplied the
troops, and the household of Bonaparte. In this way
they again became comfortable; and at Boaaparte's
death a deep regret was visible amongst those, people.
Captain L. also called at the island of Assension, to
procure some turtle, but found none, it stS. being the
proper season. He found there a garrisow, of a Lieu-
tenant and 25 men (a Sloop of War's ship's company.)
The place was garrisoned, as a precautionary measure,
during the detention of Bonaparte, lest it should • afford
a` harbour for vessels of other nations, that might seek
to attack St. Helena. lo consequence of the death of
Bonapsete, these Islanders were extremely anxioits to be
relieved. (Should measures for their release not already
have been taken, we hope this will meet the eye of the
proper authority.) Captain L. is of opinion. that should
Government continue to maintain a garrison at Ascen-
sion. (which is otherwise uniobabited) it might be ler_
viceablk as a place to refit or repair the Government
African ernizers, the anchorage being good (little inferior
to that of St. Helena) and the island being as attainable
from the African coast.
Captain L. proceeded to Gibraltar, and having there
discharged the whole of his cargo, returned to Eng-
land in ballast. • He arrived at Liverpool on the 16th
inst.. after a successful voyage of 22 months. Through-
eat this long period, the Lindsay' lost not a man ;
and the same officers and crew returned to Gibraltar in
good health. While at Singapore, it is worthy of re•
mark, that the crew procured some fish (much resem-
bling the sword flab, and about 18 inches long) of
which, every man who ate was immediately seized
shit violent vomiting for several hours. They all,
however, recovered, in about twelve hours afterwards.
with ao other effects than weakness. Captain L. is of
opinion, that this species of fish is poisonous, and
oneht to be guarded' against.
• May not this have some affinity to the last words of
the Emperor, " Mon file--ors armlets." 4c.

The fire was not entirely got under until a late hour
on Friday morning. In addition to the valuable stud.
complete sets of harness for the whole, and a qumitity
of hay, were consumed. Fortunately the direful ca-
lamity wavelet aggra►ated by the loss of human lives,
and nearly all the furniture, Sm. belonging to the in-
mates of the cottages, was saved* The fire was oces-
• sioned by the negligence of a horse-keeper, who left

is supposed that nearly the whole of the town would

from the stable, was preserved. bad the tames reached

great, as it was contiguous to several stack-yards full
of grain. Our informant. who visited the spot yes-
terday. adds that the dissevered and half-consumed
l!ashs of the animals. strewed amidst the ruins, pre-
• seated a spectacle too shocking for description. The
statement that a publican's house was consumed, is
we an happy to say, erroneous, as it was situated,
in the opposite direction to that in which the fire

binet the simple deptuatien of the Chsmbei
puties composed of the President, and the
cretaries, who conformably to the orders of

The Address voted by the Chamber of Deputies, in

opposed to the fatal introduction of foreign corn.

" The Monarchical and Constitutiokal girit, which is
the spirit of France, will attain, without effort, that unity
of views which your high wisdom recommends to us. A
Government constant in its priociples, andfirm and sin-
cere in its course. will ensure the glory astability of
that Throne, which has been so nobly styled by your
Majesty, the protector of public liberty."
To which the King replied:—
" I know the contents of the Address which you pre-
sent to me.
" I know the difficulties which attend the sale of
corn. Notwithstanding the recolteotion of a recent
dearth, I have for the first time - restraieed the import-
ation of foreign grain. The laws have' been executed,
but no law can prevent the inconvenience which arises
from a superabundant harvest : the whole of Europe ex-
periences it at this moment.
" The ameliorations, a plan of which the Chamber
has traced. speak in favour of the acts of my Geveris-
meat. They can only be preserved, and multiplies!, by
the loyal concurrence and wisdom of the Chambers.
" In exile and persecution I bave supported my rights.,
the honour of my race, and that of the French name.
On the Throne, surrounded by my people, I feel indig-
nant at the bare supposition that I can ever sacrifice
the honour of the nation, and the dignity ofsny crown.
“ It is pleasing to me to believe that the malariitzre
those who voted this address, have not dilly co ed
the import of all its expressions. lithe! had had time to
consider them, they would not have hazarded a reflesion,

In making an excavation recently at Warsaw, for
the purpose of erecting a library, forty busts in
stone were discovered of the King of Poland and Dukes
of Lithuania. One of theta in the costume of the
Order of the °olden Fleece, appears to be the bust of
Sigistnund 111. who died in 1632. There were also
found 15 mythological statues of a colossal size.
LANDLORD AND Tax arer.—Colonyl Bruen, of Car-
low, has given notice, that be will enforce the clauses
which are contained io the leases generally made to
his tenants, binding them not to alienate their farms ;
we highly approve of this, for we really believe that
the chief causes of disturbance in the South of Ire-
land have originated in the letting and re-letting of
lands. We have beard mach in favour of having re-
sponsible and respectable men, u Immediate tenants,
that the land owner may have security for the pay-
ment of his rents; bat, in oar bumble opinion, the
very best security the landlord can have, is an indus-
trious tenant, bolding a farm at a moderate rent, and
having no person between him and the proprietor of
the soil. This creates a mutual confidence—an ides=
tity.of iuterests--which US never be either Mt or en.
decatood, where Middlemen hue the cutting sisd carv-
ing of gentLemen's estates ; to their sggraodisemest,
