P On the 10th instant I dined with Mr. Playfair and an Italian named Caraman. We dined at Pagliano’s, and as some circumstances of a very peculiar nature jattended that meeting, I think it necessary to write them down. Caraman had furnished Mr. Playfair with a map and description of the Island of Elba, which I had copied preparatory to making the mo model*. del*. model*. Mr. P. and Caraman spoke French, and, as 1 know very little of that language. I only caught a word sometimes. Bonaparte was often mentioned. I The Italian spoke a great deal. Mr. P. said little, but was seemingly very attentive, and much struck with what the man told him, and now and then turn turning ing turning to me, said, “ very important im for motion in indeed!" deed!" indeed!" This he repeated so often, hnd appeared so much struch with it, that it naturally excited my surprise. The Italian also gave Mr. Playfair three or four papers, one of which appeared to be a listoi. names; another, which was very small, was covered on the back with green silk. When Mr. Playihii * The model was actually made and exhibited ii l Springgardens. » ind I left, I was Very anxious to know the whole that the Italian had told him. Mr. P. then informed me that there was a plot to assassinate the Bourbons, md that Bonaparte wtrnld raise his standard in lta>, md would find plenty of followers; that the Italian had told him Bouaparte’s cipher and the key. He hen shewed me the paper covered with silk, which I had seen the Itsllian give him ; It was a fable of Setters curiously disposed. Mr. Playfair then gave it me, with another paper, which he said was Bona Bonaparte’s parte’s Bonaparte’s address to Frenchmen in cipher, and request requested ed requested that I would, that evening, take a correct Copy of i noth, as he must return them riext day (I think) to i Caraman.
