Official account of the Death of Bonaparte. -The Gazette of Saturday night, contains the following official account of the death of Bonaparte :-

ST. HELENA, MAY 6

My Lord-It falls to my duty to inform your Lordship, that Napoleon Bonaparte expired about ten minutes before Six o'clock in the evening of the 5th inst. after an illness which had confined him to his apartments since the 17th of March last. He was attended during the earlier part of his indisposition, from the 17th to the 31st of March, by his own Medical Assistant, Professor Antommarchi, alone. During the latter period, from the 1st of April, to the 5th of May, he received the daily visits of Dr. Arnott, of his Majesty's 20th regiment, generally in conjunction with Professor Antommarchi. Dr. Short, Physician to the Forces, and Dr. Mitchell, Principal Medical Officer of the Royal Navy on the station, whose services, as well as those of any other medical persons on the island, had been offered, were called upon in consultation by Professor Antommarchi, on the 3d of May; but they had not any opportunity afforded to them of seeing the patient. Dr. Arnott was with him at the moment of his decease, and saw him expire. Capt. Crokat, Orderly Officer in attendance, and Drs. Short and Mitchell, saw the body immediately afterwards. Dr. Arnott remained with the body during the night. Early this morning, at about seven o'clock, I proceeded to the apartment where the body lay, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Lambert, Naval Commander in Chief on this station—the Marquis de Montchenu, Commissioner of his Majesty the King of France, charged with the same duty also on the part of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria—Brigadier General Coffin, 2d in command of the troops—Thomas H. Brooke and Thomas Greentree, Esqs members in Council in the government of this island; and Captains Brown, Hendry and Maryat, of the Royal Navy. After viewing the person of Napoleon Bonaparte, which lay with the face uncovered, we retired. An opportunity was afterwards afforded, with the concurrence of the persons who had composed the family of Napoleon Bonaparte, to as many officers as were desirous, naval and military, to the Hon. the East India Company's officers and civil servants, and to various other individuals resident here, to enter the room in which the body lay, and to view it. At 2 o'clock this day, the body was opened in the presence of the following Medical Gentlemen—Dr. Short, M. D. Dr. Mitchell, M. D. Dr. Arnott, M. D. Dr. Burton, M D of Majesty's 66th regt. and Matthew Livingstone, Esq. Surgeon in the East India Company's Service. Professor Antommarchi assisted at the dissection. Gen. Bertrand and Count Montholon were present. After a careful examination of the several internal parts of the body, the whole of the Medical Gentlemen present concurred in a report on their appearance. This report is enclosed. I shall cause the body to be interred with the honors due to a General Officer of the highest rank. I have entrusted this despatch to Capt. Crokat, of His Majesty's 20th regiment, who was the Orderly Officer in attendance upon the person of Napoleon Bonaparte at the time of his decease. He embarks on board His Majesty's sloop Heron, which Rear Admiral Lambert has detached from the squadron under his command, with the intelligence. I have, &c &c &c.

H. LOWE, Lieut. General.
