ll. Bunbury board the
iselieropßon on Tuesday morning, to
announce to Bonaparte the deteirminati
on of government as to his future des
tination. Wiwn St. Helena was men
tioned, Napoleon it is said, exclaimed,
that he could not believe that the report
wjiich he had hpard of such a determin
ation would have been officially confirm
ed ,* that, no power on earth should force
him to leave the B|jlerophon on’ 9uch a
that he would not go alive out
of the sound ; and that .\jf his purpose
was prevented, he hoped that he could
rely on his officers to ptit an his
existence* When he appeared, as usu
al in the evening;, be|pr| the multitude!
afloat, lie looked extremely dejected and
unwell. i ! “
Such are the reports circulated sinpe
the visit of Sir H* Bunburv. and which
continued to circulate at Plymouth dock

Shortly jnteJwßjir H< Bunbury had
quitted the ship, an jorcjer was issued .ito
keep all boats in future at cable’s length*

however to carry the orders’ ihto -effect
on that day, and on Wednesday even

ST. HELENA,
i St» Helena, which is said the fu-
residence of Bonaparte, is anlsland
in the S. Atlantic Ocean, held by the
East India compary. Its cir
ctfmforeace is about twenty mi!e» and
has the appearance at a distance of a
rock rising out of the ocean, being only
accessible at one particular spot, where
the town is erected, in a valley at the boS
tom of a bay, between two steep dreary
mountains. The buildings, both public
are plain and heat. It has
some mountains, one cal
led Diana's .Peak, which is coverecLwiib
woods to'the very top—-£no woods j
There are other hills; also, wh\qh bear
evident marks ol a volcanic origin/ and
some have huge rocks pi, lava, and a
kind ol hall vitrified Hags. The country
however is far from being barren ; the
little hills are&vered with rich verdure*
and interspread with fertile, valleys,
which contain gardens, orchards and
various plantations. Tfie valleys aW
watered by rivulets, and the mountains,
in the centre ot the’ island, are
with wood, j The soi) .whtth .cpyers the
rocks and mountains is in general, a
.hch mould, fro .i 6 to 10 unches deep,
clothed with a variety of plants and
shrubs.
# Cabbage, and other green?, thrive ext
well, but are devoured by cat
kinds of grain* by the rats, whicß are*
very numerous* The ground for these
reasons, is laid out chiefly in pastures,
the verdure of which, is surprising ; and
tie island can support 3000 head pf|
their small cattle. They have English ,
sheep here aud it small breed of hbrsel,
with goats'and rabbets. The number
of inhabitants on the island does not ex
cefcd 2000, including near 500 soluiers,
and about 600 slaves* who are supplied
with all sort* of manuiaciures by the
company's ships, in return for refre3h
ments-»and many of the slaves are em
ployed m catching fish, which are very
plentiful. This island is situated be
tween the’ continents of Africa ami
South America, about J 20.0 miles YV. of
the former and E. of the latter.’

French* papers of the 21* inst. were
received yesterday. Information reS
pecting the refractory army is scanty,—
ftereNare numerous desertions accom
panied, by great disorders and irregular
ities on the part of the soldiers, who
carry off their arms,—These desertions
and irregularities the Generals declaim
against, and endeavor to restrain, evi
dently for the purpose of maintaining
their own power, by keeping the troops
together whjle the king’s friends seem
disposed to look with indulgence on the
outrages in contemplating the reduction
of the army. The main body is under
stood to have gone frorfi the Loire towards
the mountains of Auvergne, in whiett
&it most desperate %\\ form gangs,
living at discretion upon the country,
when, as a whole, the force will have
melted away to nothing. It is suppo
sed, that when the military chest shall
M exhausted, which may be concluded
to be nearly the case at present, a gen
eral .lotion will take place of itself,
. 1 he notorious Leiebvre, with N two regi
ments of cavalry, have, it, is said, throwii
themselves into the mountains of Au
vergne as partizans, that is, as military
robbers. Several of the person's of
wfypm tlie King is morejparticulary
bound to make examples have been ar
reted; but we suppose only to be let
loose again with the double incentives
of provocation and impiinitya tn com*
mit fresh efforts.

We have received Paris papers t<i
the real situation of they
afford us tew and meagre accounts ; but
‘What they do afford, convince us more
and more that the disease is noi cured
by the removal oF Bonaparte > because
in these latter times, vye mean since his
return from Elba, he- was not so much
the creator as the creature of a faction.
It was this powerful faction that raised
him lip—not Jit that created and called
up the faction. The head $ fallen, but
the body still exists ; a single wheel of
the ihachine is deranged, but its gener
al powers are not destroyed s the serpent
overthrown, but his teeth is scattered
abroad, to start up Iritd tHe sdme fierce
and dangerous combatants that we have
Vviimy subduedv * In other words, Bona
parte has oeen taken from the scene, but
the Jacobin faction ‘ire mam*
; will be recoliected iliit some days
ago, we stated that one of the leading
merl in France, at present, confessed
that his party had a political change id
contemplation, but that it wa3 totally un
. connected with Bonaparte— who,. howe
y*er, hearing of it, resolved to take ad
vantage of it. r Ah able writer in the
Journal de Paris* fM. Salges} told us
that never since the epoch of 1793,
did the Provinces of France present a
a more revolutionary aspect than be
*iorc the return of Bonaparte.* And thl
face of affairs has probably experienced
but little change since. The submission
of the armyjs every whe re slow and
reluctant,. Many towns are the victims
of tije contending parties. At Rennes,
assassinations have been committed—:
At Nismes, Montpellier, and other, pla
ces* there have been disturbances. E
ven in Paris', the/factions arc nardly
.kept flown by the presence of a large
foreign Jorce. At some tables A lute,
says a Paris letter, the disputes run so
high, that -the royalists hjtve different
taoleW assigned them. We wish we
could say that immediate and vigorous
measures had been carried into execu
tion against the traitors. ;We heir of
some arrests—Labedoyre, Gar ; ier do

activity and decision would not be amiss.
