The squadron which has sailed for Palermo has the most positive orders to try all conciliatory means, previously to actiag in a hostile manner. We cannot persuade ourselves that this - town will persist in its resistance, in face of a force whose action misfit entail upon it such dins trdus consequences ; and especially when it stands so unsupported by the adltereno to the constitutional government of the towns of Messina, Catania, Syra cuse, Trapania,and PALERMO, Aug. 26.—1 t is this evening rumoured that our town will renounce its independence, on guarantee of the concession of some privileges.

VIENNA, Sept. 16.—1 t is announced as positive that the Duke of Wellington will immediately join the camp at l'est, where the Duke of Cambridge is already. The British Ambassador at our Court, who was also about to set off for the camp, 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 Holstein-Olilenburgh, who was born on the 523(1 of February, 1800, daughter of Prince d'Anhaes- Bern- MEMOIRS OF BEROAMI. 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 e.aders will be pleased with the bourg.SClaumbourg. MADRID, Sept. 14.—Tuesday last, 12th, a cou rier extraordinary arrived from Andalusia, bringing intellige3ce 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. u On the same day, the 151 th, in the evening, it was ordered that the half of the troops of the garrison ahould 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 Rosin reinforced. On the Bth the inhabitants of Cadiz were in the best health, and enjoyed perfect tranquillity. M. Ostoloza arrived on the 9th ut Murcia, and has been placed in one of the Chambers of the ex- Tribunal of the Inquisition. The proceedings against bins are carried on with the greatest activity. The Gazelle de France states, that on the 14th after three days discussion, the first article of the law respecting nig/orals, or entails, by which they are suppressed, was carried in the Cortes. It now only remains for the King to sanction this law, and property in Spain will henceforth be alienable. The Government, it is said, did not wish for the total suppression of entails, but Ministers could obtain no concession on this point, and were obliged to yield. The Gazette de France adds, that it is thought in Madrid the King will not give his sanction to this &me 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 necessary that in the following session the Cortex should once more pass the same decree, when it will become law, independent of the King's will. STUTOARD, Sept. 19 —The committee appointed by the association fur the encouragement of the National Manufactures approved, on the 31st of last month, the following plan of the " Statutes of the Uninn," and chose Dr. Jahn president, and Al. Conracli, merchant, as his substitute. Statutes of the association for the encouragement of the National Manufactures: — Art.

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 marching arnder his window, made him a soldier. He entered the French army, and having diUtinguished himself', he was made an °Keen It was in this quality that he found himself under the orders of Gengral Pino, and not, as he assures .us, in quality of a courier, which has been so wickedly *Armed. He explains afterwards, hoot it happened that he was mistaken for a courier. While he was in the service, an apparently ins;emificant occurrence took place, which powerfully in fluenced his future destiny. He was present at a marriage, which was splendidly cele brated at the house of the Countess whose daughter was about to be entrried. A re nowned gipsey fortune-teller was called in to calcu late the yoang lady's nativity. A mysterious grotto similar to that of the Sybil of the Eneid, was pre pared fin. the purpose. This contrivance, joined to the reputation of the Sybil, inflamed the intaeina tion of Bcrgami, and the ibrtune-teller 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 exulted, and that a great Princess, to whom he would render great services, would one day make his fortune. Struck . with this oracle, Berguuii, to begin to humble him• self, quitted the service, and secluded himself in a cottage, which was certainly not the way to meet the Princess announced to him by the gipsey pro. phetess This idea probably soon occurred to him, for he left his cot to repair to Turin. He had learned that a l'rincess of Napoleon's family had just arrived there, and he was anxious to know whether it was she who was to change his fate. On passing in front of the theatre, he saw a groat crowd 3t , %trabled. The Princess had gone in. He entered, oaliar.tin e ; witlr fear and hope ; but the ottr. r PRICE 91d. ._ countenance of the Princess produced no eftect 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 rencoalre that destiny bad iii 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 bene• volence all the world boasted. A voice within : whispered that must be she whom the oracle had announced to him, and lie felt an irresistible desire to enter into her service. Unfortunately the house hold of the Princess was complete, and 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. licrgami. 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 him into a telc-n-tek, but Bergami was firm, and withdrew from this trial like a chaste Joseph. The 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.- meat of his fortune, and the suspicions which hovered over him, His sister and his daughter Vieweine, won partook of the Princess's kindness, and followed her in her travels, of which Bergain . gives a succinct itinerary. He explains, but without details, the various circumstances adduced by the witnesses for the prosecution on the Queen's He also mentions some particulars, such as the attachment which little Victorine conceived for an ass (which was purchased for her to travel in the desert), to such a degree, that she would not be separated front it, and the 'mime' wits in conse quence embarked, and it afterwards followed the Court of the Princess. iWe learn also that the Princess and Bergami each adorned (se coiraient) their heads with the halves of a melon, as a resource against the piercing sun-beams, and that the cook, who neglected this precaution became an idiot...-. On thst very day, Bergami, wearied at finding the dinner was not firthcoming, went to hasten it, and linstui the cook dancing on the sand, making a turnstile of his spit, and exclaiming that he was one of the Knights of Richard Corm (le Lion !I Bergami speaks of the Queen's trial with very humble circumspection. He shows himself pene trated with a gratitude towards her, which appeari very natural. He thinks that what he has said will suffice to excite the curiosity of the public, and the sale of his Armoire will probably prove to him he is not mistaken. He announces that lie waits tho issue of the trial of the Queen to speak more openly, and name the personages whom he only indicates. We may, therefore, look for u second part, which will not be less curious than the first. We 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 public are much more interested in whatever rel tes to that trial, than in what merely relates to himself per - sonally ; and that, consequently, he ought t speak of himself only so the as what he may have to sulir is connected with that great ati:lir which makes him an important personage. Mr. Henry, since his arrival at Milan, has sent to England fifteen witncsys 1 1 /110M he considers ne cessary to the Quet,n's defence. We understand he has also sent borne the carriage in contllloll use in Italy, capahle only of holding two persons, by one of whom it is drivt!n, and in which it hss been charged as an offence that tLu Queen travel Led lie.„;atai. ,r ... .11P• 110.
