kentucky LegiSlaturc.-Nothing of
interest has transpired in the legislature
since our last, except in relation to the
proposed Commonwealth Bank. The
bill tor the establishment of that ms titu-
ton, which is indeed a non-descript,
passed the House of Representatives on
Saturday last, ayes Sc, noes SO. BY
this bill the Mother Bank is to be fixed
at Rarroasburgh! and branches are to
be placed IN each judicial district. The
capital stock is TO be two millions Of
dollars OF which no Individual is in any
case to receive on loan more than $1,000,
excepting the president and directors,
who may each borrow $4,000. The sala-
ry of the president is to be $500 per
annum, and that of the cashier $1,000
The notes ofthe bank are to be payable
in specie, but no specie is provided
wherewith to pay them. On the contra
ry "the notes of the Present Bank of
Kentucky shall be receivable for all
debts due" the new bank and its CAPT.
tai stock is to consist of monies paid or
to be pad into the treasury, for vacant
lands or Tor the purchase of land war
rants the unappropriated revenue; and
the stock oil the state in the present
bank ;--none of which can command
specie. But the most amusing provision
Is, that every applicant for loan is re-
CURED 10 estate distinctly on oath the
use Tor which said money is intended"
which must be either " for the payment
OF his, her, or their lust debts, or for the
purpose OF purchasing the live stock or
produce ofthe country for expectation"
ne treasurer IS authorized to furnish
cash from the treasury not exceeding
$1,000 TO set the machine in operation,
which Is to be effected, if possible, BY

feared will pass both houses, and be-

MOROCCO.

The empire is in great commotion.
Muley Soliman. now upwards of eighty
years of age, is no longer capable OF
managing the fiery temper Of the Moors
and Arabs, and he has been compelled
to fly from province TO province by
bands Of robbers and rebels which hold
the passes Of the mountains, and have
produced the greatest disorder. The
force of the Emperor of Morocco vas
once very formidable, and in the prime
OF life he governed with great skill and
prudence-but he has lived too long, Il
his sons and relations it is supposed
have instiga'ed this revolt. Morocco
has no naval force of consequences
few old gun boats, and frisate or two
are falling to pieces at Larache, and
the empire has no seamen. 1t will be
difficult to restore order among these
Moors if the disafoction has spread to
any extent. Nat. adrocate.

From a London Paper.
COUNT PERGAMI.

The following particulars respecting
the count are extracted from an evening
paper. /" The first introduction Of Per.
GAM to the queen was one OF pure &C.
cident. Her majesty was walking a.
long the hall in ali inn in italy, when
Pergami, who was there by chance, OBJ
served her train entanglcd, and with
great address and humanity stooped
down to disengage it. His manner
pleased the queen, who asked the peo-
pie of the house about him, and was in.
formed that he was a Courier in the
service of general Pine. The general,
on being sent tpr, gave the queen 50
favorable an account of Pergami, that
her majesty engaged to take him into
her service Immediately, if Pine would
consent to it. The latter who remain.
ed to dinner with the queen, immediate
Iy consented, and on bis return home
saw Pergami, to whom he suid, Per-
gami, have made your fortune"
The occupation Of Pers ami for some
time was that of a courier, but by de-
grees he acquired the confidence of his
royal mistress, aud was finally made
chamberlain OF her household. Reports
much to the queens disadvantage had
by th!s time been made in different
parts of Italy, and the decorations with
which Pergami was CO, cred gave great
offence to few of the old italian no.
hility. The rumor, against her majes'
ty at length became so serious that the
Milan commission was appointed. the
expenses of which are said to have been
nearly 10000 pounds in less than five
months.
This commission was conducted with
out much dclicacy but it is rumored
that person connected with the pro-
ceedings clandestineIy laid them before
the agents of a certain illus'rious ind.
vidual, who VAS thus enabled to asCer. /
tain the full amount of the charges a.
gainst her.
Pergam, is the son of an italian vii.
lagc apothecary, of good repute, but
confined practice. The countess, bis
sister, is represented as extremely
beautiful, and to have owed her e'cva'
ton, as to title (for her husband is spo'
ken of as person OF small fortunt) 10
that circumstance. She has been
constant companion of the queen, VINO,
we believe, has at this moment one OF
her neices under her protection. with
respect 10 the decorations worn by Per'
gami, and which have given such offence
to the old italian nobility, it is but JUS
tce to observe that they might have
been attained by him when in the
army as private soldier as no distlnc'
ton of rank was made by the Italian
authorities under Bonaparte, in tOe
distribution of tic crosses. 1t is howe
yer, more probable, that they were put'
chased by fergami, for it is iac'
known but to few that titles aud decG.

w
the 18th OF August, with the probability OF
suspending the proceedings after that period.
He thought that some arrangements when
would remove all difficulty might be made
by communicating to her Majesty the docu-
ments he had suggested.
Lord Holland spokelto the same effect
and quoted Standing Order Of the House
together with the case of Lord Treasurer
Middlesex. who was impeached OF high
crimes and mislemeanours, in the reign OF
James /. Lord Middlesex made three APP
pIications 10 the Peers, for copies OF certain
dispositions in his case, taken by secret
Committee of Peers and to his third APP
pIication, after two denlals, the House GIG
yield the documents.
The Earl of Liverpool said, it was i,npos-
sible to keep the Judges in town without
manifest injury TO public justice. The char
ges against her Majesty were clearly stated
in the Bill but TO furnish her with lis, OF
witnesses was contrary to the practice OF our
law and on,. of the most inConvcnient ceur-
SEES that could be adopted. This he was
prepared to maintain. whenever it should be
necessary, with arguments which he believ
ed would force their Lordships to agree with
him.
Lord Erskine hoped their Lordships would
support the character of British justice 4;
and nothing was so paramount with MIN as
the honor and dignity of that House, and
its proceedings. If there was nothing but
precedent of Parliament against furnishing
the depositions of the witnesses, he should
ra iher take the analogy OF Courts of Law.
! for nothing was 50 necessary to the security
Of the subjects as to examine and cross ex-
anime the evidence. In cases OF high frea-
son the defendants were furnished with lists
! of the witnesses and the dispositions OF wit
nesses before going to trial. When called
on to Judge, he must do so without respect to
persons. If he gave the power now sought
to the accused, he should not be injuring,
but assisting the course of justice; and he
humbly and earnestly begged them to take
time before they determined against grant
! ing this privilege to her Majesty He did
not wish to make any motion on the subject,
! but as they had been famous for justice he
hoped they would act up to it now.
The Lord Chancellor followed he was
for withholding the information, on the
ground, that if this indulgence were granted
to the Queen, it could never be withheld
from any other person.
On motion OF Lord Liverpool, it was then
ordered thata copy of thi. determination OF
the House should be furnished to the Queen,
and the same to her Counsel that the
Lords be called over on the 18th of August,
that no Lord do depart from the proceedings
in this case without the leave of this House,
and that the Lord Chancellor should write
Letters to the Peers absent. to acquaint them
with these resolutions, Adjourned.
