| Key. l never saw ner walk IN TIC gar
den. About month, or forty five days
she remained at Naples. Bergami at
tended her. Some English left her roy
al highness, Mons. Sicard, Capt. REESE,
equery, as he was said to be; the cham
berlain, a tall man, believe his name is
Cell, he had two small mustachios. [
know not whether Mr.. Keppel Craven
was one. ! do know him by name. A
small lady, rather thin, left her also, but
| do not recollect her name. From Ma
pies | went to Rome, and from thence to
Civita Vecchia. We went on board the
Clorinde to Leghorn. A lady, tall, RAJ
Their fat, joined the Princess at Genoa,
lady Charlotte Campbell. The Princess
lived in palace on the road leading to
Milan. Between Bergami's room and
the Prime ess's there was a room pur-
posely for trunks and portmanteaus.
In coming out from the Princess's room,
there was likewise an entrance through
the cabinet for the portmanteaus to Ber-
gami's room. AT Genoa, Bergami
break tasted in small room at the top
of the grand saloon. He and the Prin-
cess took breakfast together. was
hired to wait upon her royal highness,
and waited upon both. Nobody else
break tasted there. l knocked at Bcr-
gami's door one night to awake him, to
tell him there were people in the room.
1t was half past one-Bergamii nadc no
answer, though | Knocked SO loud that
Bergami must have heard me-.
The Princess rode out sometimes in
company. Bcrgami accompanied her.
Bergami put his arm round her to put
her on the ass that is, he held her hand
lest she should fall. Bergami had more
authority than the other servants. There
was an apparent familiarity kept up be-
tween the Princess and Bergami. At
Milan she first resided at the house
called La Castana, which belonged to the
family of Barromeo. AT the house OF
Barromeo the bed cham bers Of the Prin-
cess and Bergami were separated only
by wall. There was a staircase be-
tween the rooms, and two doors, one
from the Prlncess's chamber, and the
other from Bergaml's, led out to the
staircase. The staircase was secret
staircase, and there was small apart
ment near it where Louis Bergami slept.
Her royal highness sometimes break
tasted with Bergami. She remained at
Milan about forty or fifty days. She
took journey to Venice. Lady Char
lotte Campbell accompanied her from
Genoa to Milan. / knew the Countess
of Oldi; she came into the service of
the Princess TWO or three days after
Lady Charlotte Campbell went away.
The Countess OF Oldi was said to be
the sister of Bergami. ] knew it; but
it was not generally known at first. At,
Venice we went 10 the Grand de Bretag-
ne Hotel. The bed rooms of the Prin-,
cess and Bergami were near to each
other. They were divided by the saloon
into which both bed rooms opened
saw the Princess walk out with Berga-
mi, both at Milan and Venice, arm in
arm-twice at Milan, and often at Ve-
nice, between 9 and 10 O'Clock at night.
Bergami dined at the table with the
Princess, first at Genoa, and always AFTER
wards, as we'll as can recollect. Ber-
gami sat sometimes Oh the right, sone-
times ON the left, and som etimes oppo-
site the Princess. The first time the
Princess was at Genoa, Bergami dined
with her.
They travelled by night and slept in
tents by day. The Princess's tent had
a small travelling bed and a sofa in it,
and Bergami reposed under the same
tent with her royal highness. From tho
above place they proceeded to Jaffa,
thence to Jerusalem, embark ed on board
the Polacca again, on the deck of which
a tent was fixed as before. A bath was
prepared on board for her royal high
ness. The witness was employed to ell
The bath, and Bergami came down to try
the temperature of the water. He then
returned to her royal highness, but
handed her down to the bath, entered
the room with her, and they were shut
in together. On one occasion, more
water was required. Witness took it
down, and Bergami received it at the
door ofthe cabin.
Witness could not tell whether the
Queen was actually at the bath at the
time or not. Witness recollccted their
landing again in Italy. Bergami landed
some days before the Princess, and the
witness remembered the afIiectionate
leave taking between them, when Ber-
gami kissed the Princess most affee-
tionately. Witness then re lated the cir
cumstances attending their return to-
