BONAPARTE.
The following is an extract of a letter from a
young gentleman belonging to Dundee, to hi
friend in that neighborhood :
" ST. HELENA, NOV. 6.
" my dear c , My date will inform you
that I have at length reached a tropical climate.
In 76 days from London, and 65 from the Downs,
we arrived at St. Helena, well. The island pre
sents externally a very forbidding aspect, and no
thing better than a naked barren rock. .We
have been granted permission by the governor to
visit the interior : have been through the empe
ror's residence at Longwood, and have had the
gratification of seeing himself, though at a con
siderable distance perhaps three hundred yards,
of course I can speak to nothing but his dress,
which is that of the Legion of Honour. He was
accompanied by marshal Bertrand and count
Montholon his aides-de-camp. His bouse con
sists of one floor, and contains 57 apartments;
seven of which form his own suit billiard-room,
drawing and dining rooms, library, bed chamber,
dressing-room, and bathing apartment, finished
in a most kuperb style. Count Montholon occu
pies the other principal suit the same in num
ber, but inferior irr magnificence. " His surgeon
occupies the; right, and his parson the; left wngs,
they "each have four handsome apartments. These
are all in the front.-. .,. .jL,,,.;:;
The building forms a square ; the other three
sideOrtTappfoprTated to hirdomc.sticsu In the
centre of the area is a pond of water, containing
gold and silver fishes Bertrand lives at a dis
tance of a hundred pace from him j but there
is private walk, overgrown, with shrubbery, by
which they can pass, at anytime, unobserved.
A plain of about twelve acresjidiaceni'W the re
sidence, covered with trees, gives theHname of
i:6w6or
his excellency lieut. general Sir Hudson' Lowe,
is next- in note, and- n xertainty preferable to
any part of the island. I have" seen him fre
tjuently ? heis'umverwlly
though verjrigid irt the i execution of his duty.
The circiimf.n5ence.nf the island is about twenty
eight miles ; Long wood is three miles frorJt.
James's Town, in one direction, and PlaiWtion
House is three miles from it in another. We
have rode all oyer the island, and in bare, naked,
sterile appearance, it far exceeds the worst part
of Scotland I have seen. The climate is most
genial, but the sot) i3 scanty. This is the win
ter season here, and the thermometer in the sun
after mid-day ranges from" 80 to . 94 decrrces
of Farenheit. Upon the line, on the first of!
I have vet met with nonerof those scorchimr

There are in England 509 goaUi,and 107,000
persons Imprisoned in them for various crimes.
It is stated 8000 boys subsist in London on plun

end with more than usual splendor. Among oth
er ways of manifesting their hatred of Mime of
the witnesses, wigjron. followed m the proces

burnt on Windmill-hill. Many flags were dis
played bearing devices and inscriivions. One of
the banners was surrounded by an oval order, or
namented with laureUhcheath was this coupiet :
"Of Queen Caroline's case this at lust is the sum -She
did come over here, and did here overcome."
On a scroll was the figure of a dove escaping
from the grasp of a Boa Constrictor.
Many of the robberies in the streets of I .on
don are committed by women. Two women bad
been committed for forcibly throwing a man out
of a two story window, by which both his wrists
were broken.
Sarah M'Fell and Marv Floyd, two gigantic
women, were committed for robbing a young
man, foreman to a tailor, of his pocket book and
silk handkerchief. 1 hey seized him by the col
lar in the public highway, and on his making re
sistance,'toev tore.ofT.thc skirt of-fciscmt, JIc

u The press bas lent me its most strenuous aid in
the conflict with my enemies. It has been at
once my spear and my shield : it has been my
instrument of attack and of defence ; it has been
my safeguard as well as that of the constitution."
The latest intelligence fiom France slates that
the French people arc daily in expectation of the
king's death. '! housar.ds of the lower order of

from St. Helena, is in France concealed, and only
waiting to step into the shoes of Louis.
