with Bertrand and his family, has permission
To return to France but Bertrand, who had
been CONDEMNED to death, par coniumace, has
not yet received that permission. Doctor
Antomarchi brought over his Journal of the
two last years attendance on Napoleon, ready
for publication. Several Of the London book
sellers were anxious To obtain it, and think
he said that he had sold them the copyright.
The Doctor, who is about thirty-two years
old, was sent out to st. Helena by Letitia, mo-
Their of BOnaparte.
'The point on which was most anxious
to obtain information, was the cause of the
non appearance of the Doctors name, along
with the rest of the surgeons, to the official
report of the cause ofhis death, and the ap-
pearance of his body after it. He was never
asked to sign it, but his opinion was well
known, he had frequently declared it with
out reserve to he, that the death of Bonaparte

A pamphlet published at Havre, on the eth
ofJuly last, gives a very full exposition ofthe
state of the mercantile market at that date
On the article ofcotton, the pamphlet has the
following remarks:
2 "Ofall the French ports Havre is one, the
position ofwhch, is the most advantageous for
easily realizing this article, the consumption of
whiehis immense. The proximity ofRouen
Paris, Picardy and Flanders, attracts to it daily
orders for purchase, in consequences ofwhich
our merchants, not wishing to abandon to stran-
gers so many advantages, have devoted them.
selves to the importation of cotton, which i'm
former years was introduced here only by the
Americans. Why has a misunderstanding be-
tween two commercial powers, which have
need of one another, interrupted the important
and profitable relations which were estab lshed
directly between France and the United States.
Its hardly permitted TO merchant to enter
INTO the secrets ofpoltics, but the distractions
TO an amlcable arrangement between the two
powers can hardly be conceived. They have
for year inflicted a fatal blow on our mutual
relations, without profit to either of the disa-
greeting parties, and entirely to the advantage of
strangers. We approach the period when the
trenchmerchant must give his orders for the
new crop OF Georgia Cotton to he received in
December and January next, and it appears
that hels still condemned to fear that he shall
not be able to employ his own ships, which he
must direct upon other points almost by
chance, to be freighted with others merchan-
dise, while his own merchandise pays tribute

!" Ihe probable result 10 the Americans of
tins state of things will be to sell them cottons

iast year, compelled as they are also to let
rhelr ships remain unemployed in their ports,
spectators like us, ofthe great profits of ship
ping made by the English. We hope mean
while for speedy and favourable solution of
ms political and commercial problem.
Notwithstanding this interruption, our port
has received as much and more cotton from
The United States, as in the last year. Our
present supply of cotton consists principally
OF Louisiana, because as soon as the first ar
rivals from Georgia had proved how much in
general their quality was mixed and poor, OH
merchants applied to New Orleans, the crop

which has in fact, proved fine and good.''
