LoNpoH, Nov. 30.
Sir-An article having Appeared in your
! journal Of yesterday, giving translation
purpoliing 10 be- that Ola letter from count
Bertrand, in the Constitutional, aud hea-
died by statement that had appealed to
him as being person who could vouclI
for the accuracy Of a work lately published
by inc, entitled Napoleon in Exile, or a
Voice from ST. Helena, request that you
will be pleased to give an early insertion
to the following statement.
The assertion that have appealed 70
! count Bertrand, to youch for the "accu-
racy" Of my work. is wholly Incorrect
| by reference to my hook, ii will BE- seen
| that | have merely stated HAT could at,-
peat Ia him, III common with the other eX-
ecutors, and 10 count dc Las Gases, as 10
the facilities for communication which !
had with Napoleon, and the familiarity
with which he honorrd me.
| must observe, that there has been a
mistransIation Of the French Of count Bcr-
trand's letter. The words in The original,
now lying before me, are g je Sus cniirc-
meHt ctraager Ia publication de cci I'M
prime - meariuG--l bad M hand in thr
publication OF the work. II is perfectly
true, that count Bertrand had no hand in
the publication Of my book and am hap
py to be able to state what may be of
service 10 him in the negotiation which he
is carrying on with the French government
for the payment of The money bequeathed
To him by Napoleon. As to that part of
ny work describing the ii treatment inillc-
ted upon his late master, have before me
now in count B,rtraDd's hand writing,
detailed statement, amply confirming the
narrative in my book.
1t is known to the public that a preten-
ded translation of my work was lately
published at Paris, called L'Echo de !sainte
Helene but being partly mutilated, and
partly fabricated in the grossest manner,
myself have denounced II as such in va
rious lournals-among others IN your own.
One should suppose thai count Bertrand
Ia the original English edition, for that
was sent by me 10 him more than four
months ago, and was seen upon his table,
about that time by friend of mine. 1t is
not to be supposed that he, understanding
English very well, would have delayed so
long to contradict it, had he believed the
contents to be untrue and, indeed, his let
TER refers to book which he had Just
seen published for the first time.
Ii IS perfectly true that count Bertrand
did moi hear the conversations which ]
have stated To have passed between Ma
polcon and myself as he was not present /;
nor have in my book represented him
to have been witness to any between us
three, consisting of more than few
words.
Every one who has read my book must
have perceived NapoIron's own personal
voucher, for the confidence with which
he honored me, and the credit with which
he wished my communications Respecting
him should be received by his nearest ant
dearest relative. This document IS still
in my possession, aud viii with pleasare

GENERAL ORDER.

| The athIciins intelligence which has thisd
received, relative TO the death OF that most exceI.o
officer and man, Lieutenant commandant William
II Cooke, by a shot fred from thkscastle Of NJ
Johns, has filled us with the most lively sorrow and
iregret Had he fallen in battle, had he died bv Ne,
hands OF declared enemies our sorrow would b,yI
been assuaged by knowledge of his having dlsdh
defence OF the rights OF his country, and while dom
his duty as an officer. But to be thus cruelty up|
from his family, his friends, and from his counlv
by the conduct OF bastard (whose aim was lender
ed more sure by his perfect safety, and by The he'll,
less condition of the vessel of our lamented liraI
is heart rending in the extreme.
But, while we deprecate the act of the indiyijulJ
VINO committed 1t, we must not involve in the con
duct OF whole people. The authorities Of Porto
Rico, and in particular the captain general Of til:
isiandi has given the most unequivocal proof Of The
most sincere regret, that the event has taken place
Every thing has been done by him that could /
reasonably expect OF him to do at present to satisfy
me OF his friendly dispositions towards us, and as no
act OF ours, can recall to life the eslimabe man who
mas been taken from us, we must leave what remains
ye' 10 De done, to our country, whose demands will
no doubt, be prompt and effcctual.
All that remains for us TO do is 10 erieve and as
slight token of what we feel it is proposed to wear
