"I have read Captain Maitland's letter to your Lordship, of the 8th instant, containing his observations upon the assertions made on the preceding day by Count Las Cases; and I most fully attest the correctness of the statement he has made, so far as relates to the conversations that took place in my presence.
"I have the honour to be,
Your Lordship's
Most obedient humble servant,
G. R. Sartorius,
Capt. of H.M.S. Slaney."
"To the Right Hon.
Viscount Keith, G.C.B.
&c. &c. &c."
A letter to the same effect as the foregoing was written to Lord Keith, by Captain Gambier, of the Myrmidon, and forwarded by his Lordship to the Admiralty, with my report; of which, by some accident, the Admiral's secretary did not furnish me with a copy.
