B.—The squadron which has sailed for Palermo has the most positive orders to try all conciliatory means, previously to acting in a hostile manner. We cannot persuade ourselves that this town will persist in its resistance, in face of a force whose action might entail upon it such disas trous consequences • and especially when it stands so unsupported by the adherents to the constitutional government of the towns of Messina, Catania, Syra cuse, Trapania,and Milazzi. PALERMO, Aug. 26.—1 t is this evening rutnoured that our town will renounce its independence, on guarantee of the concession of some privileges. TniesTE,Sept.l2.—lt is thought that the Turks intend to interrupt the communications between Corfu and Albania. Numerous small Ottoman ves sels of war are cruising in those passages, and do much injury to commerce. The insurrection which manifested itself in Zante was promptly suppressed. VIENNA, Sept. 16.—1 t is announced as positive that the Duke of Wellington will immediately join the camp at Pest, where the Duke of Cambridge is already. The British Ambassador at our Court, who was also about to set off for the cutup, has received counter orders from his Government. The same reception that the Duke de Gallo met with at Clagenfurt, awaits the other Ambassadors and Envoys which the present Government at Naples has sent to other European Courts. We have just received the afflicting intelligence of the death of Madame, the hereditary Princess of Holstcia.Olrlenhergh, who was born on the 23d of February, 1800, daughter of Prince d'Anhaes-Bern bourg•Sekaurnbourg. Mantilla, Sept. I4.—Tuesday last, 12th, a cou rier extraordinary Arrived fiom Andalusia, bringing intelligence that on the 9th and 7th there was a movement at Seville, something like that which we had here in the beginning of the month. The Captain-General, O'Donoju, ordered all the patri otic societies to be closed. We have not as yet received further details respecting this affair. a On the same day, the 12th, in the evening, it was ordered that the half of the troops of the garrison should hold themselves under arms all night, and that the other half should be ready at the first signal. The patrols of cavalry and infantry have been reinforced. On the Bth the inhabitants of Cadiz were in the best health, and enjoyed perfect tranquillity. M. Ostoloza arrived on the 9th at Murcia, and has been placed in one of the Chambers of the ex- Tribunal of the Inquisition. The proceedings against Idm arc carried on with the greatest activity. The Gazette de France states, that on the 14th after three days discussion, the first article of the law respecting nu:jowls, or entails, by which they are suppressed, was carried in the Cortex. It now only remain; for the King to sanction this law, and property in Spain will henceforth be alienable. The Government, it is said, did not with for the total suppression of entails, but Ministers could obtain no concession on this point, and were obliged to yield. The Gazelle de France adds, that it is thought in Madrid the King will not give his sanction to this decree of the Cortes : in which. case the discussion will be renewed in the Cortes next session; and if the Cortes should then decide as they have now, and the King again withhold his assent, it is only metes:airy that in the following session the Cortes should once more pass the same decree, when it will become law, independent of the King's will.

A bookseller of Paris, has just published the " Memoirs of Bergami," which it is asserted are written by himself—we have of course no means of ascertaining the truth of this assertion, though we think it likely our readers will be pleased with the fifflowing epitome of it— Bergami enters into no details as to his birth, but confines himself to simply stating, that his family, after having once been rich, became poor—a dis agreeable change, which, however, has nothing ex. traordinary in it, or very instructive to the reader. He says he was born with a strong source of en thusiasm, and was ardently devoted, from his earliest youth, to sacred books, so that at one time he se riously entertained the thoughts of entering into holy orders. But an unexpected occurrence dissi pated this intention. The reading of the Bible had nearly made him a priest, and the music of a French regiment, which was manning under his window, made him a soldier. He entered the French army, and having distinguished himself, he was made an officer. It was in this quality that he found himself under the orders of General Pino, and not, as he assures us. in quality of a courier, which has been so wickedly affirmed. He explains afterwards, how it happened that he was mistaken for a courier. While he was in the .service, an apparently insignificant occurrence took ph.ce, which powerfully influenced his future destiny. He was present at a marriage, which was splendidly cele brated at the house of the Countess C whose daughter was about to be married. A re nowned gipsey fbrtune•teller was called in to calcu late the young b.dy's nativity. A mysterious grotto similar to that of the Sybil of the Eueid, was pre pared for the purpose. This contrivance, joined to the reputation of the Sybil, inflamed the imagina tion of Bergumni, aad the fiutune•tellcr found him disposed to listen to her with the most entire con fidence, when she came to announce to him that he would humble himself' to be exalted, and that a great Princess, to whom he would render great services, would one day make his fortune. Struck with this oracle, Bergatui, to begin to humble him self, quitted the service, and secluded himself in a cottage, which was certainly not the way to me,:e the Princess announced to hint by the gypsey pro phetess. This idea probably soon occurred to him, for he left his cot to repair to Turin. He had learned that a Princess of Napoleon% family had just arrived there, and he was anxious to know wh e thor it was bile who was to change his fate. On pusiing in &vat of the thstatre, he saw a great crowd assembled. The Princess had gone in. Pe clotted, palrl:atiag v.itit fear and hope but the (_=!i ttr+ . rrigics countenance of the Princess produced no effect upon him, and he produced still less upon the Princess, who did not appear to have perceived him. • Hence he concluded that this was not the rencentre that destiny had in store for him, and he quitted Turin. It was some time afterwards that he heard speak of the Princess of Wales, of whose virtues and beitea volence all the world boasted. A voice with* whispered that must be she whom the oracle hal announced to him, and he felt an irresistible desire to enter into her service. Unfortunately the house hold of the Princess was complete, sad she only wanted a courier. Bergami hesitated to offer him self in this capacity ; but, recollecting the words of the fortune-teller—“ Thou wilt humble thyself to be exalted"—he thought that the moment to humble himself was come, and the hand which but lately wielded the sword no longer hesitated to handle the post-whip. Bergami, thus disguised as a courier to serve a Princess, somewhat resembled the hero of a romance. In a short time nothing was wanting to render the fidelity of the portrait complete, for he had the happiness twice to save the life of the Princess on the route to Naples. His modesty does not allow him to enter into any detail of his duplicate adventure; he speaks only of the gratitude of the Princess. Arrived at Naples, he was distinguished by the then reigning Prince, as he was also by one of the Princess's ladies of the bedchamber, who appears to have entertained se rious projects with regard to him. She wheedled biro into a fete-a-fete, but Bergami was firm, and withdrew from this trial like a chaste Joseph. Thu enraged lady sought revenge; and having heard of the costume which the Princess intended to wear at a masked ball, she put on the same attire, and. passing herself off for her august mistress, she was but too successful in her contrivance. Such is the manner in which Bergami develops the commence ment of his fortune, and the suspicions which hovered over him. His sister and his daughter Victorine, soon partook of the Princess's kindness. and followed her in her travels, of which Bergami gives a succinct itinerary. He explains, but without details, the various circumstances adduced by the witnesses for the prosecution on the Queen's trial. lie also mentions some particulars, such as the attachment which little Victorine conceived ler an ass (which was purchased for her to travel in the desert), to such a degree, that she would not be separated from it, and the animal was in conse quence embarked, and it afterwards followed the Court of the Princess. We learn also that the Princess and Bergami each adorned (se ctierient) their heads with the halves of a melon, as a resouries against the piercing sun-beams, and that the eook, who neglected this precaution became an idiot.— On that very day, Bergami, wearied at finding the dinner was not forthcoming, went to hasten it, and found the cook dancing on the sand, making a turnstile of his spit, and exclaiming that he was one of the Knights of Richard Coeur de Lion ! ! Bergami speaks of the Queen's trial with very humble circumspection. He shows himself pene trated with a gratitude towards her, which sopeare very natural. He thinks that what he Ilse said e•ill suffice to excite the curiosity of the public, and the sale of his 411emuire will probably prove to him he is not mistaken. He announces that he waits the • issue of the trial of the Queen to spank more opeul', and name the personages whom he only indicates. We may, therefore, look for a second part, which will not be less curious than the first. Wo entreat him, however, to remember, in this second part, that he owes his celebrity only to the part which he plays in a too famous trial ; that the pu!•iic ale much more interested in whatever ref t,•.% to that trial, than in what merely relates to himself per . honally; and that, consequently, he ought to speak of himself only so far as what he may !Live to oar is connected with that great atfaiir which make, him an important personage.
