The new Dev of Algiers appears
tjhive given great offence to his
sjlClicrs, in consequence of not deig
ning to visit them in the fortresses
since his elevation to take supremc
cuthoriiy. Having taken a walk to
the lower town, to view some new
fortifications erecting towards the
seaside, the soldiers in the barracks,
on learning the circumstance, were
in great commotion ; which indu

said being extremely angry 4 be

BONAPARTE.
Extract of a letter dated Paris, Sept. 8.
fc I dined yesterday with Dr. An
tomarchi,' Napoleon's physicia:.
You will "allow that one cannot help
fueling a great interest in conversing
with a ; ersbn who has given the last
drops of water to such a man, and I
therefore rfeadily accepted the invi
tation to meet him. The Doctor
was very circurjapect ; but I have
c llected many interesting gleanings
from conversation with him, which
g'"v you as I got them:
ur c..pied himself of.
with gardening ; and under his
immediate superintend4:)ce Dowers
General Uer-
trand with the
Antomarchi, as-
ststed him on aurh occasions. His
usual dress was that of a Chinese
rro rf ' n 1. 1 M n
large
straw nat, within the last eight
months of his life he could scarcely
straw hat. Within the last
eight
move out, and was obliged either to
re on tne so.a, or m m. easy cna.r;
consequence exceeding morose :
i , c . , - , - . .
had lost full two-thirds of his corpu-
.wMw-.
44 His last words certainly were
; 44 itte ArmeeJ but without any con-
! r- t -
nexion lor wnac ne oicereu was
in a convulsive state, and no other
words, could be distinctly under
stood. 44 During his illness his son was
tne principal topic oi nis conyersa-1
tion, he never conversed on politics,
at least th JJoctor said so. Two
priests were sent to him by his mo
ther, one un old man, (Buonavia,)
anI the other a yoii'ig man. Tne
first could not ber the climate, and
was oblig.d to retuin to Europe.
Since their arrival mass was read
every diy at Longwood, ' and the.

Chretien." J Bonaparte expressed
mu h disgust at the old priest smel
ling of t 'baccb he disliked smo
king ind smokers. He had entirely
left off taking s uiff. You have seen
it noticed in the paptrs that he sent
a present to JLady Holland. The
circumstances that led to it are ex
tremely honorable to her ladyship.
Lady Holland was never personally
known to Bonaparte, but since his
confinement she had been unremit
ting in her attention to him, by con
stantly providing him with articles
for his table which she thought
would be agreeable to him ; also
by sending him books, and contribu
ting in many other, ways to his do
mestic comfort. .He sent her a Ca
meo of great value as a token of
gratitude; , it was on a snuffbox
which the Pope presented to Napo
leon. 14 In contradiction to all the anec
dotes in English and other newspa
pers, the Doctor assured me that
the Emperor (he never called him
otherwise ihan VE m pe r-eur) never
had any female attendant in his
household, nor was any one in atten
dance on him during his confinement
at St. Helena
" The veneration with which the
Doctor spoke of him is beyond any
thing of the sort I ever witnessed.
Speaking ot Bertrand, he always
styles him le rand MarechaL Mad
am Bertrand was always allowed to
enter his room without Deinjr an-
nounced. Naoeleon was quite re-
i 1
signed to die in St Helena. He of
ten conversed with Antomarchi of
events of his earlier age, and recol
lected the most trifling acts of his
childhood : the Doctor being a na
tive of Corsica, they generally con
versed together in the idiom of the
Island which was quite familiar to
Napoleon. The , house at Long
wood was exceedingly small and
uncomfortable, and damp beyond
conception ; the new house was not
finished, and it was Bonaparte's in
tention had he lived never to in
habit it.
'4 The library fof Napoleon con
sisted of the best classics, and thro
the kindness of Ladv Holland and
ether friends, he-had a fresh supply
supply of what was new and inter
esting every three',months, sent to
him under Lord Bathursts seal, 1
Dinner was always served on the
plate (" service dydrgent J with the
imperial arms on it, off which he
Tdined at St. Cloud.
i4Dr. Antomarchi found a proper
stone on the island, with which he
had prepared plaster, and succeeded
in taking a cast of his bust after his
death; unfortunately it had been
shipped to Leghorn, else 1 might,
perhaps, have had a sight of it. The j
Doctor had intended it as a present
to the mother of iBonaparte whom
he st les Madame Mere,
44 The hair of his head as well as
his beard had been shaved, and sent
to his relations, his household each
retaining some 4small quantity of it.
The Doctor had a small kick of it
in a brooch. I had it in my hand,
and confess, and am not ashamed to
say so, that my feelings were very
acute at the moment, and I' per
ceived something like a tear in my
eve. The Doctor could not obtain
permission to embalm the body, nor
would the governor (Sir Hudson
Lowe) allow any lnscription.The M
n!no nar firet Ts6rta. in a. CQrtHV-1

these two in one of lead, and the up-
per arc again in manogany ; an tour
were well secured under the direc-
tion of DrL Antomarchi.
"
44 1 could net learn any thing re
specting the life of himself, which
Bonapartej was said to have written ;
but it is probable at all events, that
nothing was done in it after the ar
rival of Antomarchi, as he declined
in health during those two years.
Montholon, who came over with
Bertrand arid his family, has per
mission to return to France ; but
Bertrand, Iwho had been condemned
to death, par contumacehis not yet
received that permission. Doctor
Antomarchi brought over his jour
nal of the two last years' attendance
on Napoleon, ready for publication.
Several of the London bookseller
were anxious to obtain it, and I think
he said he had sold them the copy,
right. The Doctor who is about
thirty-two years old, was sent out to
3t. Helena by Letitia, mother to
Bonaparte. j
44 'The point on which I was most
anxious to obtain4 iniormation, was
the' cause pf the non-appearance of
the Doctot s name, along- wr.h . the
rest of the surgeons, to the official
report of j the cause of his death,
and the appearance of his body af
ter it. He was never asked to sign
it, but his' opinion was well known,
as he hatl frequently declared it
without reserve to be, that the death
of Bonaparte was owing to the cli
mate. .
From the Boston Daily Advertiser.
A pamphlet published at Havre,
on the 29th July, gives a very full
exposition of the state of the mer
cantile market at that date. On the
article of (cotton, the pamphlet has
the fcllowing remarks :
44 Of all the French ports Havre
is one, the position of which, is the
most advantageous for easily real
izing this' article, the consumption of
which is immense. 1 he proxirnity
of Rouen, Paris, Picardy and Flan
ders, attracts to it daily orders for
purchase; in consequence of which
our merchantsnot wishing to aban
don to strangers so man v advanta
ges, have devoted themselves to
the importation of cotton, which in
former years was introduced here
only by the Americans. Why has
a misunderstanding between two
commercial powers, which have
need of one another, interrupted the
important and profitable relations
which were established directly be
tween France and the United States.!
is hardly permitted to a merchant
to enter into the secrets of politics
but the obstructions to an amicable!
arrangment between the two powers
can hardly be conceived. They
have fbrja year inflicted a fatal blow
on our mutual relations, without
profit to either of the disagreeing
parties and entirely, to the advan
tage of strangers. We approach the
period when the French merchant
must give his orders tor the new
crop of Georgia Cotton to be re
ceived in December and January
next, and it appears that he is 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
freightened with other merchandise;
while his own merchandise pays a
tribute to. the shipj of foreign neu
tral nations.
" The probable result fto the A
mericans of this state of things will
be to sell them cottons at a price at
leact as moderate as those of the
last year, compelled as they are al
so to let their ships remain unem-
ployed in their ports, spectators like;
us, of the great profits of shipping
made by the English. We hope
mean while for a speedy and favour
able solution of this political and
commercial p-oblem.
NTotwithstanding this interrup
tion, our port has received asjmuch ,
j rntton irom inc unucu

States, as in the las, year, our pre- ;
sent supply of cotton consist pnn-
cipally of Louisiana, because as soon ;

their quality was mixed and Door

Til E .KING'S VISIT TO IRELAND.
ALDERMAN DARLEY.
Important Communication to Lord Fingalf
It has nver fallen to our lot to publish
any docunleot winch we consider so !m-
Kportant to ilreland, as the following state
ment : f' . j t j'
. On Sunday, j Lord Fingal,- with some
other dist'inzrished personages, dined',
with Mr. O'Connell, in Merrion square.
In the evening, hU lordship received a
message tiom Mr. (Jrant, acquainting
him that he had a communication to make
on tne1 pnrt ol the Uovernmenr. If a
Lordship lost no time in waitiu" on the
Chief Secretary who apologized for send
ing for him at so ulnseasonable' an hourv
Dy stating tlrat it wgis the wish of his Ma
jesty, that what he had to impart should
be made known tp his Lordship, and
through hini to the Catholic body, before
ins Majesty7 departure, from Ireland,
which was fixed for the following daw .
ilr. Oriant; then proceeded to state, that
Lord Sidiiiouthi bv the directions of the
King, had sent 'for Alderman Darley,
and made known his Majesty's strong '
displeasure at that Magistrates conduct at
the late entertainment. j.Lord SidmoUth,
he addedhad enquired into the character,
of Aid1. Darley, and found that before
this transaction he was a meritorious pffi
cer. He had learned besides that he. had
expressed the strongest contriiion for
his ofifence. These considerations
had induced his Majesty toabstain for the
present from marking his displeasure in
the most exaraplary way, and confining
the punishment of the transgressing party
to a severe reprimand! In conclusion,
Mr. Grant stated, that though his Majes
ty wished it to be understood that in re
spect to this incident, : he a -ted altogetlj
er from his own feelings, he (Mr. Grant)
was nevfrtheless authorized by Lord Sid
motith to state that the sentiments of his
Lordship, relative to the circumstance,
altogether coincided with those of his
Royal Masteri and that instructions had
been given to the Lord Lieutenant to
conduct the Government of this country
on principles in accordance with these
sentiments. '
The communication to lord Fingal was
altogether a verbal one. As, however,
it wasjintended for publicity, his lordship
felt' the. necessity of drawing up a minute
of it, and submitting it to Mr. Grant, fof
the purpose of obviating all possible mis
take touching a matter of such extreme
importance. The proceeding i of yester
day impeded the execution of his lord
ship's design but we expect to rve v a
document for publication before tke cio e
ot this day. j .
We'shall only. add a line to say, that
CathoJ'c body is perfectly satisfied at this'
mode iof dealing with the offending party,
whom, for the sake of the country, they,
wish to see cdrrecterJ, but. not made an
absolute victim even of his own impru
dence, Dublin Evening Herald. ,
