course of boats was so great and the
danger to which they were exposed
(several lives having been loll,) that

One of the French officers, neph

they had not kept their word with
Bonaparte, who expe&ed to re.fide
in England with his suite. Bona
parte alked Lord Keith’s opinion;
who merely replied, that he mult
obey the orders he had received
from his government. Bonaparte
requested a second interview; Lord
Keith refufed, observing, that he
could give him little fatisfadion,
inasmuch as his orders were per
emptory, and it was impolfible to
make any change in the sentence
which had been announced to him.
An officer who stood near, oblerv
ed—“ Had you remained one
