"
maIesty's. A Mr.. Drummond Bnrrell
now joined her majesty.
Lord Gwydir got up and said that was
not true.
The Attorney General corrected him
self, and said it was Mr.. VIM. Burrell
who accompanied her majesty from
Milan to Venice. At tavern while
Bergami was in menial situation, after
the company had departed, which he had
been waiting upon, Bergami and the
Queen were left alone together; and the
servant at the tavern observed the Queen
Familiarity place gold chain round Ber-
gami's neck he took it off in playful
manner, and put it on her majesty's
neck and her majesty returned it to
, Bergami's neck. Mr.. Burrell soon
after quilted her majesty, and her ma
iesty became less reserved towards Bcr-
gami, and more familiar to all her ser
wants. She was in the habit of playing
games with her servants; this was not
an offence, but she certainly demeaned
herself by it. Her maiesty's residence
was at the Vile de l'Ami at this time.
Her majesty, on her travels, excited
great suspicion from her arranging at
the taverns that she should sleep in a
room from which he could have access
TO her rnaIesty's room. On their arrival
at Bellin Zone, this courier, still travel
ing in the dress of courier, was arttully
suffered by the Queen to dine with her
majesty in his courier's dress. 1t would
be said these were foreign manners ; but
he would answer that such conduct was
extremely censurable, and with the other
circumstances he should detail, only
proved the power Bergami had over her
majesty, and that an uninterrupted adult
ferrous intercourse had been committed.
Her majesty next went to Lugano, and
there made the same arrangements as at
other places, SO that Bergami was near
her person night and day. She next
went to Villa Dist, near Como, where
Bergami's bed room adjoined her ma
lesty's. Her majesty remained here till
November, 1918. At the latter end of
November, 1918, her majesty went on
board the Leviathan, with the Countess
Oldi; Bergami and the rest Of the suite
went on board. BY this vessel she en-
barked for Genoa an apartment adjoin-
ing her majesty, which had been appro-
priated to female, was afterwards APP
propriated to Bergami's use. Bergami
was made her maJesty's chamberlain,
and she treated him with the greatest
familiarity, walking arm and arm with
him. Her majesty proceeded to Paler-
mo, and went to court. Bergami &C
companied her majesty as her chamber
lain, in an elegant hussar dress. Her
majesty then went to Messina, and there
the bed room, where Bergami was, as
at all other places, was very near to her
majesty's. There was a door which was
generally kept locked, which led from
the Countess OF Oldi's room to Berga-
Mrs. Her ma iesty has been seen by the
servants in the Countess of Oldi's room,
in nothing but her bed-cl othes and was
also seen in Bergami's room. She used
the kindest titles towards Bergami, call
ing him her friend, her heart; and on the
9th of January, her majesty left Messi-
na.-Her majesty again went on board
the ship, but what was the surprise of the
gallant commander of the vessel, Capt
Pechell, when he found the man, who a
short time before was her majesty's SER
want, dining at her majesty's table. The
officer thought it his duty delicately to
inform her majesty that he could not de-
grade himself by dining with this man.
Her majesty took two days to consider
whether her favorite should leave the
table. Her majesty said" WHY Cap
tain Briggs, the commander of the Lee
viathan, did not object to dine with Ber-
gami!" But Captain Briggs found Ber-
gami at first in the situation of chamber
lain, and therefore did not object; but if
Captain Briggs had been waited upon at
table by Bergami, as Pechell had, he
would no doubt have refused but what
does her majesty do ? Why she ordered
a private table, and constantly dined
with Bergami and the Countess of Oldi !;
she consented to dine with man whom
an English Captain had refused to de-
grade himselfby sitting at table WITH
This she did during the voyage from
Messina to Syracuse. On the | 9Th of
January her majesty proceeded to Ca
tania; there, as at all former places
where her majesty slept, she contrived
to make such arrangements that there
should be easy access to Bcrgami's bed
room, and early one morning she was
seen to come out from his bed room,
and go to her own with pillow, on
which she usually slept, in her hands.
