-Bonabarte's probable esea3e.

There is something very mysterious concern.
ing the situation or escape of Bonaparte. CAR
Government certainly conceive that he has made
his escape in the American vessel hat sa,ed o,,t
ofHavre, and was seen by the Horatio fr,r.te
and boarded by the boats ofour sloop of war 5. =
toned OIL that harbour for the purpose of search-
ing all vessels SAILING thence, in The hone of Sc
curing the slippery fugitive The officer OF the
siooP, on boarding the American, asked +" n they
knew any thing of Napoleon :" to which an
swer was readily given that he was then prs.
oner IN liayre, the gates having been closed up-
on him The evening before on his entering thai
place." Satisfied with this account, the officer
on reaching his sloop, informed The Horst,o fr
gate, OF what he had learnt by signal, when he
received signal order back to search The Amer.
lcan vessel without loss Of time which was n.
bout to be done, when fox came on, with. an
easierly wind, through which tle suspected SIN
was immediately out of sight By YESTERDAY,
