Nf prdved deaf to every representation of feeling and
attruth, and my father and myself *ere ordered off to
Cape eP Goa& Hapa, above ws were detained as pi-
angers for 'epee aseadie, evriag to the inetreetioas ter
warded by,Sir Hodges Lase. This captigity., coopled
with a separitioo from his family and his country; the
mental anguish that succeeded the weak state of health,
lad the age of my father, have been the fatal sources of
Obese infirmities under which hence labour's, and which
will continue to bear him down to the grave.
After our departure from St. Helena, Sir !Incisors
[.owe proceeded to employ these means, with shicb
was so conversant, to blacken my father's character, ant
render him an object of suspicion to Napoleon anal the
French 01fiCell on the Island. Among other things, he
stated to Heoeral Bertrand, that Count Las Cases ha,i
confessed that himself, and all other atteodants npon
Napoleon, had exerted every endeavour to rain him
(Sir Hudson Lowe) in the opinion of his captive, by
seeking to make him regard the person and the actions
of Sir Hudson Lowe "through a reil of blood."
When speaking of my father, after his departure, I
have been informed, and believe, teat he not unfrequent-
iy coupled with his name, the epithets of, " that d-4
rascal, that d—d lying old rascal Count Las Cates"
his not impossible for a man of honour to speak Ili,-
reepectfitll y of another, bat, in such cases, he uniformly
pronounces his opinion to his face, and never during his
absence.

To continue such nauseous details, of which I could
extend the catalogue, ad infinitum, would prove as dig-
gusting to you as they are truly painful to my mind; ant,
I do not hesitate to avow, that the sole object of my vi-
sit to England was to compel Sir Hodson Lowe to af-
ford the satisfactioo for the wrongs which I bays thus
sketched ; and being convinced by reflection upon Lis
previous conduct and charaeter, that be would have re-
emerselifiegal proceedings if t heat him a challenge, 1.
determined to put apes him the greatest public insnit
that could be otkrettimA.Ctiolitootor cooottiving to that
'way could procure for me the satisfaction I so eagerly
desired.

11 shall terminate the preient statement by remarking,
that a son who rindirates the cause of an aged, sick, and
honoured liter, only fulfils a most sacred duty impo•Nt
upon him, aed in so acting pursues the path of hocoir
and of rectLude.

I am, my Dear Sir,
Your's, most sincerely,

(Signed) LE BARON EMAI. DE LAS CASES.
P.S. Soon after the occurrence took place, 1 wrote
to Sir Hundson Lowe, to inform him that, if he woC t
give his word to act likes man of honour, I should al•
ways be ready to answer him.
The following is the explanation published by the
friends of Sir Hodson Lowe:—

About nine o'clock on Tuesday morning last Sir
Hudson Loae had ordered a hackney chaise to the
door of a house in Paddington-green, and was ''a
the point of entering it, when he was rudely rri
against, by a young person of slight, short sta-
ture, and mean appearance, who, instead of manifestinz
any concern at what occurred, immediately exclaini.,l
in foreign accent, " IVhat do you mean, Sir, by insultinz
me?" Or, "do you mean to insult me?" " Insult yon:
Sir H. Lew. replied, "Why, you ran directly up against
me!" The young person persisting, however, to talk
in the /Ma strange manner, as if hardly in hi s
right senses, Sir Hunsost Lowe, without farther regard-
ing him, proceeded to step into the carriage, when ho
felt that a stroke had been made at him with a small
whip by the young man who instantly withdrew out of
his reach. Sir H. Lowe, having an umbrella in his bawl,
turned round and pursued .him, with the intention of
striking him with it, when a second person, apparently
an Knglishman, and a bystander, suddenly sprung for-
ward between Sir H. Lowe and the young man, and
forcibly prevented it.
Sir H. Lowe, hiding himself thus opposed, returned
to the carriage, and was in the act of getting into it, when
the young person came forward, with a card in his hand
and Sir It. L. taking no notice of him, the card was
thrown into the carriage, and instantly flung back, with-
out being even looked at. Sir H. L. had not at this
time, the slightest knowledge or suspicion who ti'
young man was. and could not concieve him to be a
gentleman.
On his return to the house some :itne after, Sir H. L.
found that two cards had been picked up in front ..f
the door,tand on them was written the name of Baron K.
De LAII CM!, Deg Tavern, Holywell-street. This youn4
man had left St. Helena a mere boy, between live mull Ni
years before, and was not in the least degree recogni-
*sable by Sir 11. Lone.

It was afterwards ascertained, that both the young
man and the person who had interposed to protect hilts
bad been lying in wait near the door for some time pre-
viously, and even rolled the preceedinz day at the
home. to enquire for Sir 11. Lim., refusing however to
leave their names.

Sir Hudson Lowe now feeling it had been a preme.ii-
dita.ed attack upon him, arising mit of the performance
of his pahlie .!noes—riming also the treacherous man-
ner io which be had been assailed without any previons
notice being given of the name, quality, or motives of
the aggressors—and having ground to believe the
whole to be the elfect of an unprincipled combination
made an immediate communication on the subject to
qo►rroment, and to the proper legal authorities, whirl.
led to a warrant bring issued for the apprehension of
the young Las Cases, tt ho has since disappeared.

On Friday se'nnight, during a fox chase throutTlt
Seller's Park Farm, llalmaker, Cul. IVyndhi m met n lilt
a fall of a violent nature, in consequence ot his burin
stepping into a post.hole,ahen in full speed. The Col.
remained insensible far live minutes: happily a young
medical gentle:lnn, who tittnessed the accident* opened
a vein and and restored the Col. to anitnation.—We have
pleasure in stating that Col. W. is rite racoverrd, and
has resumed the sports of the frelti.
