DEPARTURE OF THE DUCHESS OF
BERRY, alias COUNTESS PALLI.

(From Galignani's Messenger of Wednesday.)
Le•'ters are said to have been received by the Spanish
Ambassador, announcing that the Government is appre-
hensive of a protest from the bishops at the meeting of the
Cartes on the 20th instant, and that Madrid is in a state
of great agitation —Temps.
The Memorial Bordelais of the 9th instant contains
the following particulate relative to the departure of the
Duchess of Berry :—" But few strangers went to Blaye t,
witness the departure of the prisoner. The groups as-
semoled on the port and in the vicinity of the citadel were
merely composed of the inhabitan•s of the town and
neighbourhood ; the latter had come on the preceding
evening to attend the market, which is held every &our
day. No extraordinary bustle was remarked at Waye. A
stranger, on seeing the state of the town at seven o'clock in
the morning, would never have suspected that a few hours
after the citadel would be opened to send out personages
who a short time ago attracted so much attention.
was not till nine o'clock that the preparations far the d-
parture commenced, and the spectators assembled near the
place of embarkation. The National Guards and the
troops of the line were drawn up from the gate of the ci-
tadel to the channel leading to the river. The spectators,
almost all standing in the same line as the soldiers, filled up
the vacant spaces. A few minutes before ten o'clock the
Countess de Palli appeared, leaning on the arm of General
Bugeaud, and followed by one of the General's Aide--
de.Cemp, the nurse who carried the child, the Count de
Mesnard, and the other persons who accompany her on
her voyage. Het• dress was very plain, consisting of a
coloured gown, a small straw hat, and a light shawl. As
she walked, she was constantly conversing with General
Bugeaud, whose steps she aeemeil anxious to hasten.
Wraen she arrived at the channel, the Countess d'lsle, a
lady well known at Blaye for her legitimatist principles,
fell on her knees before her and begged leave to kiss her
hand. After Aline. d'lsle, two other ladies, one of whom
was Mlle. Defoe, sud the other, it is said, Mine. Dant-
pierre, entreated the same favour. This was granted
them by the Countess de Palli, who, however, seemed
more anxious to go on hoard than to listen to the comfit-
lence of these ladie.t. Captain Leblanc, commander of
the Capricieuse, gave her his hand to assist her to enter
the boat which was to convey her to the steam-vessel.
He also took from the - nurse, and held in his arms the
infant, in order to enable her to enter the boat without
danger. Being safely on board the steam-boat, the
Countess de Palli went down for a moment to see the
cabin which had been prepared for her. After this
she came upon deck again, and remained there as
long as the vessel was in sight of Blaye. The persons
who accompany her, among whom we observed M.
Deneux, the Count de Mesnard, who wore a large
straw hat, M. Menieres, the Abbe Sabathier, Mine.
de Hensler, &c., went successively on hoard in other
b ats; then followed 25 of the National Guards of Re) e,
of whom five were officers or non-commissioaed officer,,
25 men of the crew of the Capricieuse, and the principal
authorities of the town. When the embarkation was ter-
minated, the vessel was set in motion and soon disappeared,
as well as the people and the soldiers, so that, half an hour
after, Blaye was restored to its usual tranquillity. The
utmost calm attended this kind of ceremony, and the in-
difference of yesterday is now changed into oblivion." The
journal has also the following :—" We have to state
a fact which occurred a few instants previous to the de-
parture of the Countess de Lucchesi Palli, which might
have beet me very serious if particular circutns•ances had
not called elsewhere the attention of the crowd. A barge
stationed a short distance from the channel had a trico-
loured flag fixed to the top of her ma-t. About 9 o'clock
two police officers ordered the master of the barge to stri.ee
the flag, intimating to hint that they were authorized to
conduct him to prison if he refused to comply with their
order. After some objections le, was obliged to yield to
the injunctions of the authorities, however arbitrary they
appeared. The son of Count de Meosard, who arrived at
131a)e the night before last, was arrest, d by the police, but
liberated ag tin immediately after the inspection of his
papers. M. and Aline. Henn- quin, who had arrived al
Blaye a few dais before the departure of the Duchess o
Berry, left that town immediately after for Bordeaux
