CHRONICLE. 
style him) to St. Helena, when 
his wish and expectation were to 
live quietly in England under the 
rotection of the English laws. 
ord Keith and sir George Cock~ 
burn did not enter into any dis- 
cussion upon the subject. - 
After dinner lord Keith and sir 
George Cockburn, accompanied 
by Bertrand, went on board the 
Bellerophon. Previously to their 
arrival, Buonaparte’s arms and 
pistols had been taken away from 
him—not without considerable 
altercation and objections on the 
part of the French officers. 
Those who were not to accom~ 
: pany him were sent on board the 
urotas frigate. They expressed 
great reluctance at the separa- 
tion, particularly the Polish offi- 
cers. Buonaparte took leave of 
them individually. A colonel 
Pistowski, a Pole, was peculiarly 
desirous of accompanying him: 
he had received 17 wounds in the 
service of Buonaparte, and said 
he would serve him in any capa- 
city, however menial, if he could 
be allowed to go with him to St. 
Helena. The orders for sending 
off the Polish officers were pe- 
remptory, and he was removed to 
the Euretas. Savary and Lalle- 
mand, however, were not among 
_ those sent on board the frigate; 
they were left in the Bellerophon. 
Whenlord Keithand sir George 
Cockburn went on board the Bel- 
lerophon on Sunday afternoon, 
Buonaparte was upon deck to re- 
ceive them, dressed in a green coat 
with red facings, two epaulets, 
white waistcoat and breeches, silk 
stockings, the star of the Legion 
of Honour, and a chapeau bras 
with the tri-coloured cockade. 
His face is remarkably plump 
I3 
and his head rather bald upon the 
top. After the usual salutations, 
lord Keith, addressing himself to 
Buonaparte, acquainted him with 
his intended transfer from the 
Bellerophon to the Northumber- 
land. 
Buonaparte immediately pro- 
tested with great vehemence 
against this act of the British go- 
vernment :—he did not expect it, 
—he did not conceive that any 
possible objection could be made 
to his residing in England quietly 
for the rest of his life! : 
No answer was returned by 
either lord Keith or sir George 
Cockburn. Some conversation 
ensued on different topics, when 
after reminding him that the Nor- 
thumberland’s barge would come 
for him at ten on Monday morn- 
ing, lord Keith and sir George 
Cockburn retired. 
Early on Monday morning sir 
George Cockburn went on board 
the Bellerophon to superintend 
the inspection of Buonaparte’s 
baggage ; it consisted of two ser- 
vices of plate, several articles in 
gold, a superb toilet of plate, 
books, beds, &c. They were all 
sent on board the Northumber- 
Jand about eleven o'clock. 
Buonaparte had brought with 
him from France about forty ser- 
vants, amongst whom were a 
groom, postillion, and lamplight- 
er. Two thirds of these were sent 
on board the Eurotase 
At half-past eleven o’clock lord 
Keith, in the barge of the Ton- 
nant, went on board the Bellero- 
phon to receive Buonaparte, and 
those who were to accompany 
him. Buonaparte, before their 
arrival and afterwards, addressed 
himself to Captain Maitland and
