The following particulars re- i fpecting tne embarkation of Bona parte on board the Northumber land, have been received from a source entitled to every credit, and we give them to the public as au thentic The Bellerophcn and the Ton nant failed from the Bay to Ply mouth on Friday ; but we do not imagine mat it was to prevent the apriication for a writ of habeas • * | corpus. The fad is, that the con course of boats was so great and the danger to which they were exposed (several lives having been loll,) that government thought proper to order the Bellerophon to a greater dis tance. —The process of which so much has been said, was nothing more than an ordinary fubpoana, from the court of King’s Bench, procured by fome ptrfon, who had a raufe depending in that court, and who amused himfeit by citing as witnesses, Napoleon, Jerome and admiral Viiiaumes. The North umberland left Portsmouth on Friday also, and dn Sunday arrived off Torbay.

They showed a great unwijlingnefs to be feperated from him. Bonaparte took leave of them individually j Savary and L'- Allemand, were, hower, left on board the Bellerophon. When Lord Keith and fir Geo. Cockburn came on board Bona parte was on deck ready to receive them /After the usual salutation, Lord Keith addressed himfelf to Bo naparte, and requelled him to fay at what hour he propufed to go on board the Northumberland.

Bonaparte appeared some what surprised at hearing himfelf addressed fimpiy as, but replied “at ten o’clock.” Ber trand and his lady were near Bona parte; fir George Cockburn aiked them if they wilhed any thing be fore they failed? Bertrand replied, that he wanted 20. packs of cards, a back-gammon buard, and let of dominas. Madame Bertrand re quired fome articles of furniture.— One of the French officers, neph ew of Josephine, complained, that 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 hour longer, you would have.been taken and sent to Paris.” Bona parte turned his eyes upon the fpeaker, but made no reply.
