retlected disgrace on her own country; I was at the ball, but

quis Gezillicari to recommend a person, and he recommeuded
Hergami as it person fit to he trusted as a servant of her
Royal Highness. He recommended him very strongly, and
said, Ida family were respectable. He had known him a
great while, and was interested for him. He (Mr. Craven)
did not know any thing of Berrami before lie was rerom-
mended to him by the Marquis Gizelieghri. Communicated
to her Royal Highness what the Mraquis said of Bergatui—
that he sus a person he wished to recommend to the situation
of Cuurier—that he had been acquainted with his family a
long tone, and knew him to be very fit fur the situation—
that though he seconirnended him to that situation, lie hoped
that if he behaved well he would he allowed to remain in the
family, and as a servant out of livery, when her Royal
Highness stopped at any place; and that he (the Marquis)
ished in be of use to the whole of Derwin' family, and to
Ilergami in particular. Remembers that when the Princess
approached Naples, her Highness was met a short distance
Anus the city by the new King and Queen iof
tattered Naples on the Bth of November, about half an hoar
before dusk. The Princess and suite went to a house which
had been taken for her Royal Highness. Found that it was
*cry inconvenient, Sir Win. Ciell and witness had very bad
beds; there was not by any means room enough for the
whole suite. Sir Wnt. Gell and witness agreed to take
ludgings elsewhere, as soon as they could procure them,
and this was the only cause of their leaving her Royal High-
ness's hotel. The King and Queen of Naples called on her
ltwynl Highnes the day after her arrival ; on that day she
dined at Court. After slimier there was a concert. Her
Majesty remained there till half-past 11. He left the con-
cert with her Majesty. On the evening of the second day
the Queen went to the Opera; all her suite accompanied her.
Went hat to the palace, nod from the palace with all the
court and their retinue to the opera. Her Royal highness
sat in the state box with the Queen and King. The Operant

mained to the last. Thinks that on this occasion it must
have lasted longer than usual, as it was later than usual hi

beginning. Iler Majesty and suite remained till the curtain
dropped. He remembers a masked ball given by her Ma-
jesty, in compliment to the King of Naples. Her Royal
Highness assumed three dresses on that occasion; one was
Turkish dress, the second, that of a Neapolitan peasant, and
the third, as witness was told, was menet to represent the
Genius of History. Saw this dress of the Genius of History
for a shot t time on her Royal Highness. Wasasked if it was
iii the small st di gree indecent or improper? Answered, '•
do not recollect that it was at all indecent. It was a dress
which came very high up."
When Bergami attended her Royal Highness from Milan
to Naples, and during the time he contiuned in her service„
did you observe any impropriety or degrading familiarity
between her and Bergami t—Never.
Had you dined subseqsently al the table with her Royal
Highness and Bergami i—Yes, three times. Upon any one
of those occasions I never obterved any impropriety between
them. I have seen the Countess of Oldi once.
Is the a person of vulgar manners ?—No.
Had yuuany conversation a (all her Royal Highness before
she arrived at Naples, about William Austin I— Yes, I think
I told her, before we came to Italy, that it would he well if
her Royal Highness would direct that William Austin should
no longer sleep iu her room.
Had vou any reason for giving that advice I—l said that
people of Italy might make observations, as he was of an
age that might give rise to observations. 1 believe he was
bout 14 or 15 at the time. I dined frequently with her-
Royal Highness when the had company. Amongst her Royal
Highness s company I very frequently saw Baron Ompteda.
I recollect Theodore Majoechi ; lie waited at table every
day a hen there was company, and Baron Ompteda had
many opportunities of seeing him. I went to Rome
after the death of his late Majesty, and waited upon the
Queen the day after my Whorl. Baron Reding was the
Hanoverian Ambassador at Rome. The Marquis Gizelieghri
was dead at the time.

Cross•examined by the Solicitor General.
I do not recollect exactly when this conversation. took
place, hut it most have been soon after her Royal High-
ness left London. The recommendation I had given to
her Royal Highness about William Austin was with refer-
ence to Italy, and was meant prospectively. I saw the
Countess Oldi once at Pesaro, at dinner. The first time
I dined at table where Bergami was, was at Pesaro,
where I also supped.

Did you ever say to Lady Charlotte Lindsay, or any
other person, that you had made a representation to her
Royal Highness as to what was observed with iespect to
her Royal Highness and Bergami, as to the louden terrace
at the house at Naples ?—I did an. Nut to Lady Charlotte
Lindsay, but to another person at Naples.
What was that representation ?—I mentioned that I had
spoken to her Royal Highness, but it was with regard to
what I had seen.
What was it yon had seen and represented ?—I saw her
Royal IligAnen walking in the garden—iergami was sear
and walking also—l knew there was a spy at the time at Na-
ples. had heard so from England, and thought it necessary
to caution her Royal Highness as to any outward appearance
that might be miscumitrued.
Was it by letter you received this information from
England?-I(es.
Was there any other person in the garden but her Royal
Highness and Bergami I—l did not see any one else, but
I could not see, fur she walked on the terrace, which was
much higher than the rest of the pinks'. There might
have been other persons. It was the only time I ever saw
her Royal Highness and Bergawi together iu the garden.
This might have been a month after our first arrival at
Naples. The Princess said there weee workmen there at
the time, and that site had taken Bergami to speak to
them. Ido nut know what the workmen might have liven
employed about. I did nut leave her del-vice till she
emitted Naples. No such thing ever happened as Ber-
gami's cowing into the room where Sir W. (iell and I
were, and taking a chair. No such thing ever happened,
and 1 never stated such a thing. I have been very often
•t the Theatre of San Carlos. when in waiting upon her
Royal Highness, and often when not in waiting, and when
I was slot of her petty, I never but QM was at a Mar
