LVfLST FKO.M ENGLAND DEATH OK Is APOLEO.N' BONAPARTE. London, July 5. The fallowing intelligence arrived in town yesterday from St. Helena : (From the Courier.) “St. Helena. May 7.—Bonaparte died on Saturday the 5lh, at G P. M. after an illnes- of *ix week*—the last fortnight only considered dangerous. The body lias been opened, and the disease ascer tained to he a cancer on the stomach, w ith a great extent of ulceration. '•lie has been lying in state since yes terday afternoon—the Admiral, Govern or, and Heads of Departments, having first scon the body.” During the first four weeks of his ill ness, it did not assume any very danger ous appearance, though he appeared to lie himself conscious that it would ter minate fatally. During the last fortnight it was evident to all the medical attend ants that he could not recover. It is said that he gave directions about his af fairs and papers till 5 or G hours before lie died, having retained his sense* till that period. He said he wished to be opened, in order that his son might be informed of the nature of his disease.— The body was opened by his own sur geon. We believe that he left a will, which, with his other papers, have been, or will of course be, transmitted to this country. The despatches were brought by Capt. Crokat, of the 20th regiment.— They were immediately communicated to all the ministers, and to all the ambas sadors, by whom couriers arc under stood to have been despatched to their different courts. The despatches’ brought by Captain Crokat, announcing the death of Bona parte, are dated St. Helena, May !7.— That event took place on the 5th of May, at ten minutes before six in the afternoon. The illness of the ex-Em- peror lasted, in the whole, six weeks ; and its effects on his frame, as described by an officer who had frequent opportu nities of seeing him during that period, were so powerful as nearly to reduce him to a skeleton, and to obliterate all traces of his former features. During the latter part of his illness, he frequent ly conversed with his medical attendants on its nature, of which he seemed to be perfectly aware. He declared that it was hereditary, and that his father died of the same disease. On examination af ter death, the stomach was found in a state of extreme ulceration, so that it ap peared in some places perforated in large openings. His medical attendants gave it as their decided opinion, in which the physician who was called in coincid ed, that the disease was incurable, and that the climate had no effect in nroduc- ing it. One trait of character displayed itself in his last moments, which marks the “ ruling passion strong in death.” As lie found his end approach, he was habited, at his own request, in his uni form of Field Marshal, with the boots and spurs, and placed on a camp bed, on which he was accustomed to sleep when in health, and ['referred to every other. In this dress he is said to have expired. It has been asserted that the Heron, which brought the despatches, also bro’t the body of Bonaparte to England, but this we understand is not the case. His attendants wished his body to be convey ed to Europe ; but on opening bis will, it was found that he had left a request that it should be interred in the l-land, and pointed out the spot where he wish ed his remains to rest, in a beautiful valley near to his residence. Though Bonaparte is supposed to have suffered much, his dissolution was so calm and tcreiie, that not a sigh escaped him, or an\ intimation to the by-standers that it was so near. At the departure of the Jlcrnn no day had been fixed for the fu neral, but it was understood that it would be solemnized with the military honors due to bis rank. A likeness of Bonaparte, after his de cease, was sketched by an English offi cer, and is brought to* England. Count Montholon, we hear, arrived by the ship which brought the intelligence of this event, and immediately forwarded it by an extraOrdinavy courier to the French Ambassador. Numerous expresses left town yesterday morning to announce the death of Bonaparte to the different Eu ropean courts. The news will be con veyed from Calais to the French capitol by telegraph, where it will probably be known in l.;ss than 24 hours after its «4?rival iu Loadoa.—Tiihts.

FUNERAL OF BONAPARTE. London, July 9. The following account of the funeral of Bonaparte is extracted from the Gimr- dirtn, in which it is given as an extract from the private letter of an officer of St. Helena: •' Bonaparte was buried on Wednesday the 9th, beneath the willow trees, in the spot he had pointed out, a- boot a mile and a half from Longwood House (by the road.) A procession of the Military Staff-und all the Naval offi cers, followed the corpse, which was laid on a black car, in n plain mahogany coffin, (laid wood and tin within,) nnd was received, on emerging from the grounds, by a line of 2000 troops, inclu ding artillery and a party of marines, with four bands drawn up by the road side. As soon as it passed, the troops followed to the place of Interment, nnd halted, oc cupying the road winding along the val ley side, above it, while the procession descended by a road made for the occa sion, on foot; thtf body was then borne by twenty-four grenadiers, from the se veral corps presint, to the grave, where it was deposited with the priest’s bless ing, in a chamber, within a large stone vault. The chamber was then closed with a large slab, nnd it* edges being filled in to the sides of the vault, the whole level surface was covered witli a liquid body of Roman cement. The corpse was deposited under three dis charges of 11 pieces ofnrtillery, and the minute guns of the Vigo, which were heard in the intervals between the dis charges, moaning in the distance—-25 were fired. The vault has since been filled up with stone, and a plain flat slab lain over it. Extract of a private letter, dated St. He lena, May 15. “ Bonaparte’s grave was about 14 feet deep, very wide at the top, but the lower part chambered to receive the Coffin.— One large stone covered the whole of the chamber. The remaining space was filled up with solid masonry, clamped with iron. Thus every precaution is taken to prevent the removal of the body, nnd 1 believe it has been full as much by the desire of the French com missioner, as from'.he wish of the govern ment of the Island. The spot hud been previously consecrated by his priest.— The body of Bonaparte is enclosed in three coffins of mahogany, lead, nnd oak. His heart, which Bertrand and Montho lon earnestly desired to take with them to Europe, was restored to the coffin, but it remains in a silver cup, filled with spirits. Ilis stomach his Surgeon was anxious to preserve, but that is also res tored, and is in another silver cup. *' Bertrand, Montholon, and the rest of his household will return to England in the Camel store ship, which sails in a- bout a fortnight. Lisbon, June 12. From the Paris Papers.—“ On Sun day, the 10th, at 5 in the afternoon, a fire broke out in a part of the square where the palace of the Junta of Com merce is situated. No public misfortune since the earthquake of 1755 has equal led this ; all attempts to stop the flames were useless, and it destroyed almost the whole of the palace in a short time.— There is no doubt that the fire was by design, as pitch and other inflammable matter were found in the neighborhood. The damage is incalculable. The five depots of acts, the most important to the nation, have been .destroyed. Mr. Se pulveda took, though uselessly, the wis est measures to stop the'flames ; and the commander of an'English frigate in the port sent his engines and the greatest part of the cre w. A great number of military have suffered for their courage : an officer of the English Navy k two sail ors have been dangerously wounded.” . Madrid, June 20. Extract of a private letter.—M. Zea arrived here on the 19th. It is said that ho is charged with a negociation in all respects pacific, which lias already been entered on by the other deputies pent by General Bolivar. The pretensions of the Americans of Venezuela displease no one. it is almost agreed on that a new system ought to be adopted. The colo nies and the mother country would gain equally by it. M. Zea, who was pro scribed in J814 as a follower of the rreuchj proceeded to America, hi; mi- and nearly concluded. On the 13lh the committee of the Cor tes proposed to grant a recompense of CO,000 reals to Generals Riego k Quiro- ga. Other national recompenses were al«o proposed for M. Lopez Banos, Don Felix Argo Arguero, Don D. O'Daley, General Spinosa, and Colonel Acevedo. I’aris, July 1. News from Tutkey, via Vienna, men tions a private note, conceived in very energetic terms, which Baron SlrogonolT, the Russian minister, had nthlrcssed to the Divan, and to which he has demand ed a categorical reply. The same ac count states that the ministers of other foreign powers have made mo-t serious representations to the Reis Kffcudi, re lative to the attrocities,inflicted on the Greeks, to which they have received sa tisfactory answers. Letters from Odessa, in speaking of the demand made to the Porte bv Baron Strogonoff, add, that this power lias transmitted to him justificatory notes, by which the Grand Seignor disavows the excesses committed by the populace and soldiery. Some of the movers of these atrocities were strangled. It is said that M. Strogonoff received from the Reis Effendi communications relative to the execution of (tie Greek patriarch, staling that he would be convinced ofthe patriarch being implicated in the insur rection against the Porte. Among the 170,000,000 of individuals who inhabit Europe, there are said to be 17,000,000 ofbeggnrs or persons who subsist at the expence of the community, without contributing to its resources, in Holland 14 percent. In England 16 per cent. In Paris there were computed in 1813, 102,856 paupers, out of 530,000 inhabitants. In Cologne, 14,000 out of 53.000. In Liverpool, 27,000, in a po pulation of 80,000. In Amsterdam, 108.000, out of 217,000. The number of indigent has since rather increased than diminished. FROM HAVANA. Charleston, August 30. By the schr. Comet, Capt. Campbell, arrived yesterday in G days from Hava na, we have accounts from that city to the 22d inst. inclusive. A letter from a correspondent, speaking of the distur bance among the prisoners confined in the jail, as mentioned in the Courier of the 22d inst. states, that 15 were killed, and a number wounded, befure order was restored .among (hem. We have received from the same correspondent, under date of 22d inst. the following, be ing the latest news which we have yet seen from the Vice Royalty of Mexico. We believe it may be relied on es cor rect. •“ By the arrival of the Spanish brig of war Almirante, in 22d days from Vera Cruz we learn (bat the Insurgents were before that city, and’ that the gates were shut; but on the arrival ofthe Diantond, a Corvette, and the brig cf war Almi rante, with about CCD troops from this port, the troops being trained for two days, they sallied out to give battle to the enemy, who retreated, and no en gagement took place—but the royal troops burnt and destroyed the quarters ofthe Insurgents, which were without the walls. The royal troops are en camped near the place that the enemy left. 1 he Vice Roy, O’Dono.iu, arrived at Vera Cruz, from Old Spain, *T.d was treated Very slightly. The vessels of war touched at Tampico, where no no ; lice was taken of them at all. That place is represented to Le in a state of discontent, and with VeraCruz, may be expected soon to be uuder the Indepen dent Flag.” rROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. Highly Interesting from the South. By a late arrival fi-om the Spanish Main wc learn, that hostilities between the Itov-. alists and the Independents being renew ed, an engagement took place at Carabobo, on the SUh of June, and that the Indepen dents got a great victory ; in Consequence of which the remains of the royal army re treated to Porto Cabello, and Bolivar enter ed Uaraccaa the SOih of the same month. Colonel Pereira, who had been obliged (n retreat to La Guaira, with 900 men under his orders, without any means ofsubsistence and defence, and would have been forced to surrender or die bravely, was happily rescu ed from Ilis painful situation by the arrival of the French squadron, commanded by Rear Admiral Julicn coming from the South Sens. Bolivar besieging La (j naira with 4-000 troops, Hear Admiral Jufien offered his mediation between the two chiefs. Bolivar most w illingly accepted it, and, a captitula- tioi: being signed, Col. Pereira embarked with liis little army on hoard the French ves sels, and was conveyed to Porto Cabello.-- 1 it.that port they found the Asia, a 01 gun ship, from S-pain, having on board the new ly appointed Vice Roy of Mexico, that of Grenada, and the Plenipotentiaries sent by the Spanish government to treat of peace with the Independents. As soon as they ar rived, a negociation was set on foot. Boston, Aug. 17. INTERIOR OF AFRICA. We were yesterday shown a note written by Mr. Gray,* the English traveller in Afri ca, dated at Gallam, on the river Senegal, in May last, and addressed to his friend at Sier ra Leone. Mr. Gray was at that time about to proceed to the city of St. Scgo, on tilt Niger, and from thence to prosecute his de sign of travelling to Tombuelon, and explor ing the interior of Africa. With the v ieiv of proceeding on his.journey without molesta tion by the natives, and without excitin'; the fears oftheir rulers, he would be accompanied only by his guides, natives of the country. This, we believe, is the latest inlelligcucc received from Mr. Gray. * -in officer of the English army, having tom- maml of the expedition for exploring the interior of Africa.—Datlon Patriot. FKO.M FLORIDA. A gentleman who arrived on Thursday evening Ironi St. Augustine, which place be left on Tuc-day, alter n journey into the interior of Florida, lias politely furnished us with the following information. Four or five Ordinances had been promulgated nnd acted itjvon by Gen. Jackson, for the organ ization ofthe two provinces. By these re gulations, West and East Florida had been divided into two Counties, the former into the County of Exambia, with Prnsacola for the enmity town; and the latter, the Counly of St. Augustine, with that place for the county towq. Ten Judies* of the Peace were to be appointed for the administration of justice, three of which to constitute a quo- ruin, and »h«:justice whose commission bore the oldest date, was to art as President of the Court. The oldest Commission had already been given to Thomas Fitch, Esq. The administration of the affairs of St. Au gustine was entrusted to a Mayor and six Aldermen, who were already organized as a body, and had proceeded with great diligence in the discharge of their duties. Colonel Forbes had been appointed the Mayor.— The details of “ the O rdinances” were quite minute, but having been perused in a curso ry and hasty manner, they are not reeoHoct- rd with sufficient accuracy to give a sketch of them. The health ofthe place was fully as good as rould be expected from the sod den ingress of population, in many instances not accustomed to the effect of Southern climates, and who expose themselves need lessly to the rays of a scorching sun ; for of late, owing to the incessant ruins which have prevailed, and which have literally laid the Hat country at the Imek ofthe town, as far as the river St. John’s under water, there has been no sort of regularity in the prevalence of the sea and land breezes. The Indians in the interior are quite dis posed for peace, thoughjin hourly apprehen sion of a descent upon them by the Coweta Indians, with the avowed intention of car rying o(Ftheir negroes, stock nfhorses, cat tle, hogs, kc. and even themselves, under the pretext that they were runaways and out- avva from the Creek nation. They had in consequence made a formal application to the American governor i*>r protection, which it was reported would he given to (hem, as far as the limited means at disposal would af ford. It was also reported, tiial the. former descent of these Cowefassnme months back, at the. Bay of Tampa, when they carried off upwards of 200 runaway negrne9 belonging to the States, was unknown at head-quarters, and of course an unauthorised act. It was for the owners of fugitive slaves rather an unfortunate interference,as every one of this description in the province, would not fail to make his way down to Cape Florida, and get off as well as he could to the Babanins or Cuba, to the former of which places, no doubt facilities would he afforded by the wreckers.— Georgian. Fhenix Bank.—We have great pleasure in stating that (lie officers of the Fhenix Bank yesterday afternoon discovered in the stationary drawer, of (lie Banking Room, the sum o[fifty-five thousand six hundred dollars of the money which they supposed vvas car ried off by Milligan.

VV hat political effect, if anjr, the death of Napoleon will produce, is the only question of moment which the event presents to us. For ourselves, we do not foresee any important consequences which will follow his decease. While he had the Jegions of France at bis com mand, lie was the bond of union to his enemies, and his name alone might for a time have influenced political compacts even after his power was crushed i. his person in chains. But lie had been so long abstracted from all influence in the affairs of Europe, and so long regarded a* dead to the world, that few political arrangements exist which can be affected by bis life or death. Great consequences sprung from his gigantic projects and ambitious views, gome of them beneficial to mankind, and durable in their charac ter. He set elements in motion w hich he did not live to reduce to quiescence, and lias thus been the cause of events which never entered into his views.— Tln.se causes will proceed to develope lasting effects, independently of the hand which give the first impulse to them, and the world may continue to enjoy their benefit long after they rhall cease to be referred to their true origin.

Owing to the death of the assistant, originally appointed in that District, and the failure of bis suc cessor to comply with Ins agreement, the entire number of inhabitants is not yet ascertained. Kershaw will yield, it i* presumed, about I2,0f>9. The number exclusive of that is 4^0,339—making the whole number, 602,303.

The death ofNnroLEoN Bonatartc. late Emperor of the French, is now as certained beyend a doubt. ilis career lias been so recent, that all are familiar with its events—his track so luminous, that there is no nerd of des cribing it.

In the language of Phillips, whom for once we will quote, as we had like un consciously to have used his language, “ crowns were his play-things, thrones hi* foot-stools.” Such was the boldness ofhis ambition, the magnitude ofhis de signs. and the splendor ofhis successes, that he Beamed almost t<» have beeu en NAPOLEON’S LAST MOMENTS!
