aware this detail must excite smile; bull
it Showed the inia,uaiiol under which she

warm her royal highness ordered a tent to
be placed on the deck with a bed In If.
and 10 the same tent was placed bed for
Bergami; and in this tent they slept night

same thing had taken place on the same
day in the preceding year, whist residing
al The villa D'Este. After their return
TO ihe villa D'Esle, Louis, Bergami's
brother, was made project of the palace,
and his mother was called madame Livia.

and without being censured by her. On
one occasion, Bergami having gone
journey TO procure passport was ex-
pecled TO be absent for the night, aud her
royal highness directed that female at

room. Bergami returned during the night |
aud Instead of retiring to his owa apart |

The female attendant was reused and or

with bis mistress. Could this fact, if
proved, leave any Doubt on the minds of
heir lordships ? AT this time her royal
highness took journey TO Carlsruhe, aud
