"fhs Government have tried General Bertr-iud who "accompanied Bonaparte to St. Helena, and con- demned him to death, though he is still with his iiiaster in that island. An. article in the Moniteur details the proceed- 'ly n I ings, of a. meeting recently held in the French capital, composed of individuals, Wile have been tia-bouringfor some time with zeal, though, it is said, with little effect, to promote a. crusade against the-Barhary powers. Sir Sidney Smith is said to "be'the ùti¡;rnátor of this chivalrous scheme; and it •is probable; he is impelied by the indignation, .natural to "a generous mind, more than by a. love of notonety, in promoting this crusade against the piratica) states.
