NEW YORK, Sept: 20.

From the LONDON TaCket, anu i1loyu
Evening Post, received by the ship Car
dine, from Liverpool. From the post
script to the subsequent particulars, It
appears somewhat probable, that Bona
parte will not be sent to st. Helena.
B0.NaPaRTE.
At last we have certain intelligence,
that the Bellyaaphon has sailed. The
Rellerophon left Plymouth on Friday
last, in company with.the Tonnsnt and
Eurotas, under sealed orders, having Be-
naparte and his suite on board. We are
clad this portentous stranger has'left our
shores--we wish he had neyerapproach-
et. them.
We have received the following parti-
culars from our correspondent at Ply
mouth; they we're written Oh Saturday
evening.
:. Orders were conveyed to this place
early in the week from London, to an
nounce the. arrival of the Northumber-
land as soon as she had given hei mum
Der, and the telegraph, in answer, was
to send immediate orders for the reno.
val Of the Elk emperor from the Belle
rophoil, and his immediate sailing for st.
Helena. These orders, decisive as they
were, did not appear, hsweser, sutfici-
emily vigorous for government, for ON
FRIDAY afternoon, although the North
cumberland was not in sight. the Belle
rophon, accompanied by the Tonnant, OF
SO guns, was ordered to put TO sea, and
! to wait in the ofIing Eoir the Start for the
former ship. Bonaparte, therefore, will
be shipped from the Beilerophon to the
northumberland at sea, and he will be
sent a three months voyage, without
having made those preparations which
are so necessary for such voyage and
such climate. It is understood that
his. linen, &c. had been but partly wash
ed; and as he fattered himself that the
government would relax in its severity
towards him, but few arrangements had
been made by him. 1t is certain that he
had no idea of SO precipitate depar-
ture.
" There certainly appears consider
able degree of haste in this business
not to say harshness. Many reasons are
assigned forit. The Plymouth Dock pa

say, a large portion of the spectators,

ing his fallen fortunes, and treating him

has been in such esteem, that many IN
dividuals have temporarily put on bis
shirts, waistcoats and Eeckcloths.-]
Blind infatuation Pour correspondent
who was alongside the Bellerophon on
Sunday last, says: that the sympathy IN
his favor was astonishing i..at he heard
10 cheering, but that the hats 1.-THE men,
and handherchiefs of the ladles, were
waving in every direction. Bunapa'te
himself has observed, that he recognised
in the behavior Of the mirlads IN Ply
mouth Sound, the masnabmity OF the
British people; who, he sad, were, IN
general, too noble to strike or INSULT an
enemy at their mercy. 1t is too prooa-
Bile, however, that the respect and con-
sideration in which he was held on board
the BelIersphon, and the altogether un
expected butgencrous treatment Rhich
he experienced in Plymouth Sound, has
partly produced the preeipitated sailing
ofthe Bellerophon from that port.
Since Wednesday last the boats IN
the Sound have been kept at cable and
haIt's length, by admiralty orders, to the
unspeakahle disappointment of thousands
hourly arriving at Plymouth and Ply
mouth Dock, from all ,arts of the eoun-
try. So great was the desire to see the
fallen chief, that in the arrivals of the
coaches at the inu-doors, most OF the
passengers rushed from their seats, and,
without taking refleshment, fastened to !
take boat for the Sound.''

now cruising in tie offing; and as they |
are not yet Joined by the Northanber-
land, and as the Action, OF 10 guns, has
sailed with dispatches from Lord Keith,

ported that Bonaparte will return to
port.''
