We caunoth help differing from those who are
inclined to blame Lord Holland for bringing
forward his motion Yesterday relative to the
treatment OF Bonapartc For il drew forth a
decisive and official refu.ation of all the COM
plants of Ill treatment a!iedsed against our
government; II exposed the mean and base
acts which had been resorted to, TO caumniate
us.and Improved beyond the possibility ofdoubt
the absolute necessity o fappiving to Bonaparte
the most watchtui and incessant restrictions.
For the sake gilmore cIearness, shall state
the heads ofthe charges a. and secondly the
REGULATIONS (,)
(Al The charges are that he has been ex.
posed to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. with respect To
the space allotted him for exercise.

an account of his former acts.
d. That the sum for his maintenance has
been reduced 10 SG00i. year, and that the
supplies Tor his table are scaniy and made
quate.
Such are the charges. The refutations are
as follows:
b. | During the first period of his cohfine-
ment he had a circumference of no less thar
II miles to ride orwalk i'm without the atten
dance of any otficer-which range had not
been reduced TIL ii had been found that he
had abused that confidence reposed in him nv
tampering with the inhabitants. That range
now reduced TO eight miles instead of
twelve, and within that boundary he might at
present walk without the attendance OF ai.v
officer. Heyond those limits he might go over
any part of the island, attended by any officer
OF rauk not lowerthan captain in the army

there after sunset, and he expressed his dis

wishes, after that, fixed the centincls i'm places

French BOOKSELLER III this town. with orders to
supply such of the books as he had, and to OBJ
tain the rest from other booksellers. As seve-
raj OF the books we're not 10 be obtained in
London, the bookseller was desired 10 write
TO Paris for fIenl. He accordingly obtained
some of them from Paris. but others Of them
