Boaopdrte. London papers Of the
week have announced, that accounts have
been received by government, by the last
arrivals from St. Helena Of a correspondence
having been detected by Sir H. Lowe, the
object Of which was the liberation of Bona
parte, and his escape to Europe. Little be-
yond the fact, has been suffered to trans
pire except that the correspondence has
been carried on with certain persons in
Rome, Paris and Munich that is, we sup
pose, with Ldcien Bohapafte, Lavalette,
and some Of his principal adherents and
admirers in Paris: Whether plot has, in
reality existed; or whether it has been only
inferred from suspicious circumstances, it
is not possible for us TO judge before further
particulars are made known; but there is,
certainly, in such plot, nothing so impro.
babfe as to warrant us IN any degree, to
doubt the statement The military party
in France, who under the pretence of liber-
ty, wish for theirold leader to conduct them
again TO power and to plumber, compre-
bends many who, under the most distant
probability ofsuccess, would enter into such
a scheme. Lucien Bonaparte in now no
longer to be considered as the retired phi
losopher. His mixing in the political fray,
when he thought his brother humble enough.
to consider him of consequence, was sufi-
cient evidence that he is not dead to ambi-
ton and revolution. The peGured and pre-
scribed traitors, who, with Lavalette, can
only hope to be exempted from the conse-
quence oftheir own treachery, by the res
toration Of a military jacobinsm, have
nothing TO lose in such venture, and eve
ry thing to hope from again embroiIing the
world.
