Lowe: this avtrsion is since much height
ened, from the circumstance OF his having
lent himself, from the month OF October
1917, to the month of March, 1918, III
drawing up false bulletins, replete win
untruths, which have deceived both ms
own Government and Europe; but he
saw no improperly, although he cared
little about it, at our having MI
Stockoe called in, and he did, IN Fact,
come to Longwood the same day at three
o'clock in the afternoon, but would not 20
in to the Emperor, feeling that his respoh-
sibility was compromised, aud that he was
in danger of losing the place he mad ac-
CURED by forty years service. mat APP
peared 10 me SO extraordinary, thai i
could not credit ii, and saw him. lie
expressed to me his regret, for he is
very respectable old man, and easily eX-
planned the thing. He had been lightly
given to understand he might go, in the
same way as they did to Mr.. Coles, the
Banker, whom you know. | had some
money account TO settle with him, and
sent for him, but when he came, he said
he would not enter upon the subject, ex-
cept in the presence Of the Orderly Cfii-
Ger. for if he did he should be lost. OF
course declined that. The same case
happened few days ago with Mr. Fowler,
who has arrived from England. bad an
account TO settle with him, amounting to
few hundred pounds, for some clothes
made 10 London. True it is, that you
are not aware of the situation we are i'll
now: it can in no instance be compared
with our situation in your time, and even
then ii was bad enough; and you suffi-
GENTLY know this Prince TO induce you TO
use your influence to prevent any OF the
Emperor's family from coming out here.
The spectacle of the humiliatiJns, the
vexatious, the hatred he is prey to,
would be utterly insupportable, were his
mother or any of his brothers to come and
share them. Even Count de Montholon
and myself, who are now the only persons
with him, have been repeatedly pressed by
him TO go and release ourselves from the
like treatment, and leave him to himself. |
He assures US his agony would be less ac-
cute if he did not see that we alse were
the victims of his misery.
Things have now come to such pitch, |
that tie foul linen remains several days TO
be searched by the Orderly Captain, aud
sometimes by the Etat- Major. This
scene is not only highly indecent, but very
humiIiating to them; its only purpose is
insult and outrage.
In the month of June, 1916, a store
ship bro't out marble bust of young Ma /
poleon. Sir Hudson Lowe directed that
il should be thrown into the sea; he after |
wards denied it, but we have Judicial
attestation of il; for this act disguised
both Lady Malcolm, who was then still
here, and all the Commanders of the |
store ships who were then here.
After that, in the month OF February |
last, the store-ship, the Cambridge brought
out two engravings or prints OF Young
Napoleon, which he had purchased upon
the quays at London. Sir HI. Lowe had
them bought, stating he intended them as
a present to the father; and when month
afterwards, the officers of that ship learnt
the contrary to be the fact, (viz. 10 order
to keep them from him. they were no Ion
ger able to dissemble their indignation at
such an act having been committed by an
Englishmsn.
All the conduct, on the part Of the
Governor, cannot be disguised or with
held from the British government. Ifl
what the Emperor told Lord Amherst
were repeated iD London; il they inquired |
of Capt PoppIeton, who was the Orderly |
Officer for two years, and whom you
know if they interrogated Col. Nichols,
of the Goth; If they asked Col. Fehrzen,
of the SD, and many others, they must
be aware of the base conduct pursued
here.
If the Emperor has any enemy 10 Eu-
rope who would have applauded the
English Government if they had openly
and publicly put him TO death on board
the Bellerophon, there can be none who
will not one day load with imprecatioDs
and opprobrium, the authors of bis de-
struction in SO dastardIy manner.
You will be amazed at my mentioning
the French, Austrian and Russian Com
missioners who are here. Whilst you
were here we never saw them. Even
now they have not seen the Emperor, nor
have they visited us but we have met
them several times on the roads of the
boundary, ridiculous way enough. If
the Emperor has not acknowledged them
as Commissioners, he has never refused TO
receive them as strangers. AS to the
Governor, he has not seen him since the
month of August, 1916, and you are ac-
quainted with the Emperor's reasons for
not receiving him, after the insnlts he had
