Napoleon and Sir Hudson Lowe at st.
Helena.
Shortly after the Fifty third regi-
ment left the island, a ship arriving
from England with dispatches, Sir II.
Lowe came to Longwood to see Ma
/ poleon. He sent word by Marshal
Bertrand that he had some orders
which he wished to show him. Ma
poleon sent word in reply that he
could not been seen, and therefore
Sir Hudson could send the papers or
orders to him. Sir III. Lowe then
sent word that he wished to see Bona
parte personally. Bertrand returned
again. and said that it was impossi-
bic, as the Emperor was confined to
! his bed. Sir Hudson Lowe then left,
saying he would come the next day.
Napoleon kept his room all the re-
mainder of that day, and when Sir
4 Hudson Lowe arrived the following
morning Napoleon was obstinate, and
/ sent the same message as the day be-
fore; but Sir Hudson, being some
what (and naturally irritaed. sent
word by Marshal Bertrand that he
must see him, that he would wait no
longer, and that if Napoleon was not
able TO come out he would go to him.
To this message Napoleon sent no
answer, but kept Sir Hudson waiting
for about two hours. Sir Hudson then
went to Napoleon,s bedroom and
knocked on the door several times,
bur received no answer He then
said to Marshal Bertrand, loud
enough for Napoleon to hear, that if
the door was not opened he must
force it; after waiting some time, and
still receiving no answer, Sir Hudson
Lowe asked me if Bonaparte was TAX
ing any medicine, or il he was con-
fined to his bed. Ireplied that 1 did
not know of his taking any medicine,
but that he had kept his room for
two days. Sir Hudson knocked again
but obtained no response. He then
went to the new house which was
building, and brought one of the sap
pers and miners with crowbar, and
sang out that il Napoleon did not
/ give him admittance he would break
the door down Immediately. Still
there was no answer. / certainly
must say that Sir Hudson had a great
deal Of patience on this occasion. At
last he ordered the man to pry the
door open, which he did as gently as
he could. Behold Napoleon sitting
| in his chair at the window i'm his
morning gown reading a book. When
! Sir Hudson Lowe entered, Napoleon
rose from his chair with a very scorn-
full look, but noways in a passion, and
said, "Impudent and presumptuous
ruffianl do your instructions author
ize you to force admittance to your
superior in this insolent and unlawful
manner? Do you English always
treat your guests so? Ma fol! guest
or prisoner, you have no right thus
to intrude on my privacy. Sir Hud-
son Lowe answered, Il know nothing
Of any guest here, butL do perfectly
we'll know, Gen. Bonaparte, a prison
er of war, under charge of an English
Governor, and that you are he, and
have no right by any means to pre-
vent the supervision appointed by his
Maiesty's Privy Council. As Cover
nor and Commander in chief of this
that am authorized to have access
to YOU whenever | deem il necessary,
and that it is part of my duty to read
and proclaim to you, General, and
your fellow prisoners the orders and
instructions that / may receive from
time to time" Here Sir Hudson
threw some papers on the table. Ma
poleon then said, with some warmth :
"Presumptuous mani / knew you
well. False and violent-bahl you
are not worthy to arouse my ire
your instructions order that whatever
concerns the Emperor or his suite
shall be introduced by the allied COM
missioners, and not by the Governor.
Take this for answer: The Emperor
will not look at anything forced upon
him py violence; the Emperor will
not hear anything you may have to
say, whether from yourself or from
those who /. Q you to abuse the laws
of hospitality and Cypress men who
relied on your country's generosity.
| have done" And he resumed his
book. Sir Hudson Lowe then said
quite calmly: From Gen. Bona
parties treatment of the commission
ers whenever they have visited Long
wood, they decline coming hither
again, but they shall be sent for TO
see the orders which have arrived
duly executed by every individual
whom they may concern. without any
distinction of persons. St James

feels as if he were going round with
a lot of plaster images on his head.
