King was commuted into imprisonment for ten years, sod

VIENNA, At.e. 16.—A few days ago there was discovered,
some leaguers from this 'dace, a sect of the nature of the ad.
herents of Pieseliel. These sectaries met in the neighbour-
hood of. Wedding, on all eminence in the forest, vs lice e there
has been for many sears a smtll ge of the Virgin Mary
upon an old cak. 'lke head of this sect is said to he a Conn.
teas. Their exalted fancy led them to consider this place as
their Church, and they w a ated to compel the Clergyman of
the neighbouring village of Sitfcring to re ad Mass there, and
upon his refusal the Conntess is said to have threatened t.) du
it herself it' he would net agree to it. Government
has been informed in tinie ,by the Clergy of the surround-

at energetic measures this unsound excrescence has also
been destroyed in the beginning.

Mr. Strict, would not merit from his Grace, thing butt

ITALY.
strifSOME, Jutv 20.—A new pamphlet is in circulation here,
ttenw by the Advocate Maroces, in the suite of her Royal
Highness the Princess of Wales, and, as it seems, by her
orders. It is in Italian, the title is—" Free Considerations
on the revocation of the decoration of the Cross of the Order
of Malta, attempted against Signor Baron li. Perganii, First
Chamberlain of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales,"
.( with the false imprimatur " Londra, !till.") The fact which
gave rise to this defence of the favourite of the Princess of
\V ale, is, that the Vicar of the Grand Master of Malta, de
Giovanni, at Catania, granted her, fur Pergami, in Ibl6, an
honorary Cross, as it is called, but sultsequently caused the
Cross to be re-demanded at Milan by the Commander, Hosea;
it having been discovered that Pergaien was neither of suffi-
ciently high birth nor of unimpeachable character. The
pamphlet is a wretched composition. Amongst the strangest
things, is the title which the Princess of Wales, in a letter to
the Commander, Itasca, gives to P-ergami ; besides being
height of the Holy Sepulchre ofJerusetlem, lie is also Grand
Master of the Order of St. Caroline of Jerusalem ot. which
it is to be observed, that ant only the Order, but St. Caro-
line, is-of the Princess of Wales's owe creation. It is con-
tinually asserted, besides, of this Princess, as something
quite simple tuatiiral), that she can, de facto, not only found
and bestow orders of knighthood, but also confer nobility, a
privilege which, we believe, neither law nor custom has hi-
therto given to a Princess of Wales.
