Both going and coming back ?—No. How did you return from Milan to Vienna ?-By a public conveyance. Who paid?-I and my father. Who gave you the money to pay?. Colonel Brown.

And your wife?—Yes.

And your small family of children?— No.

In what square or street do you live in London?-I cannot tell the name. Is it an inn in which you lodge ?—I do not know whether it is an inn.

Is there a sign above the door?—I never made the observation.

Have you had any bill brought to you to pay? No (with emphasis.)

Have you ever paid any bill?-No; but I have to pay.

Are you to pay, yourself, for your entertainment at this inn?-I have not yet been asked, and I do not know whether I have to pay.

But are you to pay for your own keep? -I do not know.

When you went from Vienna to Milan with your father, where did you lodge at Milan ?-At home; at my own house.

How did you support yourself?-On my own money.

How long did your money last ?—Non

-Nobody gave me money when I arrived at Milan.

While you remained at Milan did nỏbody give you money ?-Ricordo di no,mi ricordo che non,-non so! piu no que si! non mi ricordo. I remember that there a did not. I don't know.-Rather no than yes. I don't remember.

[The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then began a short re-examination, chiefly with a view of shewing the consistency of Majocci's accounts of his journeys.]

Were you dismissed her Royal Highness's service, or did you go away of your own accord ?—I first asked for my dismission at Rome; then I applied to Bergami twice for it at Pesaro. Bergami did not grant it to me until the second time.

When you left the Princess's service, did you receive any form of discharge, or certificate of good conduct, from her Royal Highness?-Yes; I have it; not in her Royal Highness's hand-writing, but with her seal. Schiavini wrote the paper. Have you it about you?—Yes; here

it is.

[After the legal examination was finished, detached questions were put by a number of particular Lords. The following are one or two of the principal.].

The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM.-The witness has stated, that on board the polacre, in which her Royal Highness sailed from Jaffa to Terracina, there was a cabinetto, in which there was a bath ?—I did.

Did the witness see Bergami and the Princess enter the cabinetto together, in which the bath was prepared?-Yes.

Witness has stated that he handed buckets or pails of water for the bath, and that Bergami received them ?—I carried two pails of water to the door of the bath, and Bergami came out and took one of them. Whether it was the hot or the cold water, I don't know.

Did you see the Princess, when Bergami took the pails from you?-No, because she was within. At the same time, I did not see her.

Lord AUCKLAND.-Have you seen Bergami and the Princess quit the bath?— No; but I have seen Bergami come out of the room and mount the deck, and tell her women to come down and dress her Royal Highness. And I have with my

own ears heard him say, " Madle De Mont, come down and dress her Royal Highness."

Leaving her Royal Highness, by herself, in the bath ?-Alone in the bath. The Earl of DARNLEY.-The witness has stated that a tent was placed upon the deck of the polacre; I wish to know the nature of that tent, and the manner in which it was placed; and whether it was a tent or an awning ?-It was a tent, which was spread upon the deck by means of ropes; and in the evening it was closed as a pavilion. (Here the witness described upon the table the position of the tent.) It was closed all round. I think that, in the evening, this tent was let down and closed all round; and they said from within, "Stop it well, stop it all round; see there be no hole, no opening." Was it a single canvass ?-Sometimes it was single, and sometimes other pieces of canvass were put to stop the openings. The Marquis of LANSDOWN.- -What was the motive of the witness for seeking at Pesaro to be discharged from the service of the Princess?-Because the Princess was surrounded by bad people. (A laugh.)

Why then did he afterwards make application to Schiavini to be restored to that service? Had the witness, in the mean time, altered his opinion of the persons by whom the Princess was surrounded?--I applied to Schiavini in a kind of common conversational way; I asked if it were possible to enter again into the service of the Princess; I applied in a kind of way.

Then the witness meant nothing serious by his application ?-No; it was a sort of conversational application, "Would it not be possible to enter again into the service of the Princess ?" I was in service at that time.

GAETANO PATURZO, [Has a fourth share of a ship of 300 tons, of which Garguini Guardello is commander. The Princess came on board at Augusta, in Sicily, and sailed for Tunis. On this voyage, the Princess and the Countess of Oldi slept in two cabins, on the left side of the dining-room, Bergami in a cabin on the right of that room. Af

ter leaving Tunis, Bergami's bed was placed in the dining-room itself, opposite to the door of the Princess's sleeping apartment.]

The door being open, could a person in the Princess's bed see Bergami's bed?Witness. Why not? According to the division made, in whatever situation a person was, in Bergami's bed, he could not help seeing the Princess's bed when the door was open. The situation of the bed was such, that a person could not fail to see both together.

The witness afterwards added:-But a person might stand up in the bed in such a situation as not to be able to see the other bed, I mean, if he placed himself upright. But the bed itself might see the bed of the Princess. (A laugh.)

[In travelling to Jerusalem, Bergami dined in the tent with the Princess, but witness could not say, whether he slept there. Witness was present at Jerusalem, at the installation of the knights of the Sacred Sepulchre. They were Bergami, Austin, Schiavonette, and some others.

After they left Jaffa, was any tent raised on the deck of the vessel ?—There was. Was that tent closed at night?-Yes, it was.

Was there any sofa or bed placed under that tent?-Yes, there was some sofa, and a small bed.

How were the sofa and bed placed under that tent ?—They were placed at a little distance, to make a passage.

Has the witness ever assisted in closing that tent at night?—Yes, I have.

Who was in the tent at the time you assisted in closing it?-The Princess, Bergami, and some person belonging to her household.

Do you know who remained in that tent during the night?-Those who remained under the tent I don't know; but the servants who were in the tent came out of it. I saw them on deck, and stopped them. I don't know who remained under the tent, because it had a communication also below; and whether the Princess went out, I don't know.

Have you ever seen the tent raised up in the morning?-I have seen it.

Who have you seen under it? or have you seen any persons under that tent,

when it was raised up in the morning? For the most part I have seen the Princess lying on the sofa, and Bergami on the bed. Sometimes not.

When you have seen Bergami as lying on the bed, how was he dressed?-In his usual dress-a cloak (capotto.)

The witness afterwards further explained. It was not a cloak; it was a species of morning-gown, with large sleeves (toga.) Have you ever known the tent to be closed during the day?—I have.

For how long?—A little time; half an hour, or an hour.

Who was under the tent when it was closed by day?-The same as in the evening, when the tent was closed.

I again ask, who was under the tent when it was closed by day ?-The Princess, Bergami, and some person belonging to the servants, who assisted in closing the tent.

Did that person who assisted in closing the tent remain under it, or come out of it?-Many times I have seen that person, the servant, come out; but other times, when I was employed in the business of the ship, I do not know whether he came out or remained.

Do you know by whose directions the tent has been closed on these occasions? -Sometimes by the directions of Schiavini, but always by one of her Royal Highness's people.

Have you ever seen the Frincess and Bergami walking together on the deck? I have.

In what manner ?-Arm-in-arm. Have you ever seen them on the deck when they have not been walking?-I have.

In what situation have you seen them then?-In various situations; different situations.

Describe some of them.-I have sometimes seen them sitting on a gun, with the hand and arm of one behind the back of the other, because the gun was too small. They were supporting each other with their arms. Sometimes Bergami was lying on his back on a small bed, and the Princess sitting near to the bed, leaning upon it. When the captain saw me, on these occasions, he would make some excuse, sometimes this, sometimes that, to

send me away, because we were distant! relations.

[The interpreter observed, that the witness's expression was, 66 mezzo paren te," the literal meaning of which was, half-relations; but he had translated it, distant relations.]

You say you have seen the Princess and Bergami sitting on a small bed; have you ever seen them sitting in any other situation ?—I have.

In what situation have you seen them? -Sometimes I have seen Bergami sitting on the bench near to the main-mast, and the Princess sitting in his lap, with her arm round his neck, over his shoulder.

How was Bergami's arm placed on that occasion?-Bergami's arm was behind the back of the Princess, and the arm of the Princess was round the neck of Bergami.

[On St Bartholomew's day, a dollar was given to each of the crew, who danced and cried, "Long live St Bartholomew! Long live the Princess! Long live the Chevalier!""]

Cross-examination by Mr DENMAN. Who first applied to you to come here, for this business?-The English ViceConsul at Messina.

When was it?-On the 22d, 23d, 24th, 25th, and 26th of the last month, July. Was that the first time you were desired to give evidence on this subject?— Yes.

Did you go to the Consul, or the Consul come to you?-The Consul sent for me, because he had been charged to do so by the Minister at Naples.

What are you to have for coming here? -For what I have lost, it will be very little indeed.

What is it that you are to have?—I, for coming here, must receive, as a compensation for the ship and trade I am obliged to give up, 800 dollars per month.

[This statement created a general buzz through the House.]

The interpreter stated, that the rate of the dollar varied. The usual rate was 4s. 3d. or 4s. 4d. He recollected it as high as 4s. 6d. ; but the average is 4s. 3d.

[The short-hand writer was here called on to read the answer to the last question, which he did.]

Ilave you paid any travelling expences?

-I have paid nothing, because I came accompanied by a courier. I was obliged, of course, to come, because the Minister applied to the Consul; and the Consul told me, if I did not go, I would be obliged (obligato) to go by means of the Government-otherwise I was not willing to do so.

deck under this tent of which you have spoken?-A sofa for the Princess, and a travelling bed of her Royal Highness's was put up for Bergami.

Did Bergami sleep there?—Yes; under the tent, together (insieme) with the Princess, in two different beds.

How long did Bergami continue to

GENERAL.

The 800 dollars are not so much for the mere hiring of the ship, because we do not consider the hire of the ship for |_ carrying goods so much as what we could make by our trade; for the owners allow us to trade for ourselves, and we may either gain or lose.

Are 800 dollars a-month an adequate compensation for your trade?—I cannot tell; for if my speculation were to succeed, I might gain a great deal more; and if it were to fail, I might lose a great deal more.

VINCENZO GARGULIO, [Captain of the vessel, of which the last witness had acted as pilot. Mr Williams expressed doubts whether the oath, which he had taken, would be considered by him equally binding as those used in Italy, and proposed that he should be asked, whether any other would be felt by him as more binding. After a good deal of debate, the question was referred to the judges, who, after consulting, decided, that the witness could be asked whether the oath, which he had taken, was binding on his conscience, but no farther.

The examination then commenced, when Gargulio gave the same account with Paturzo as to the sleeping arrangements, on the road from Augusta to Tunis.

He then added, that on the return from Constantinople, the Princess chose to sleep in a tent on deck.

The testimony of this witness respecting the journey to Jerusalem, &c. coincided with that of Paturzo.]

How long did that occupation of the births continue?-In June the Princess came on board; at the departure from Constantinople, the weather coming warmer, the Princess chose to sleep on a bed in a tent on the deck. Seven horses and two asses were taken on board, and put below about that time.

What bed or beds were placed on the

Ask him whether at night the tent was open or closed?—At night it was closed as a pavilion.

Who usually closed it?-I was commanded to close it, and I commanded others.

Was it so close as to exclude any person outside from seeing what passed within, or was it partially open?-It was quite closed. When I could not close it with curtains entirely, I did it with other pieces.

What do you mean by saying with other pieces?—I mean with other pieces of the same material as the tent.

When was the tent usually opened in the morning to admit air?—I think about eight o'clock.

At the times when the tent was opened, the witness being present, where was Bergami ?-Under the tent, coming out.

Was he entirely dressed, or in what manner?—I have always seen him entirely dressed.

In what species of dress have you seen him?-Upon deck he went in a Grecian dress of silk, which he bought at St Jean d'Acre. When he went on shore he was dressed in a coat, or as a colonel.

After the tent was closed at night in the manner you have described, was any light, generally, or occasionally, left in it ?-No.

I am not asking you whether a light remained in the tent during the night, but whether there was a light there at the time when it was closed?-When the tent was closed there was a light; if it was light airs or no wind, the light was given out on deck; if it blew strong, the light was carried away by the ladder.

Can you remember who was in the habit of taking the light from out of the tent at the time it was so delivered out? -Whoever was present. Sometimes I took it myself.

To the best of your recollection, how

long did the light commonly remain within the tent after it was closed?-Ten or twelve minutes, perhaps; a little time.

Do you know who commonly handed out the light?-Bergami.

Do you remember whether, in the day time, the Princess sometimes sat or lay on the bed under the tent?-Often. She ordered that the tent might remain as a pavilion; because in the morning it was raised as a ceiling.

Where did the Princess take her siesta? The interpreter professed himself unable to explain the term siesta.

The witness has said that the Princess often lay upon the bed under the tent during the day; did she do so after dinner? Yes.

Have you ever seen Bergami there at the same time?—Yes.

In the day?-Yes.

Have you ever received directions in the day-time, when the Princess and Bergami were under the tent, to close it? Yes.

Have you closed the tent, by direction, when the Princess and Bergami were within it?-Yes,

I have asked if you did this after din ner; have you done it frequently, or only seldom-In a day I cannot say frequently or seldom; but in a week three or four times.

With Bergami and the Princess both inside the tent?-Yes, both.

Can you tell us how long, upon such occasions, the tent remained closed?— Sometimes a quarter of an hour; sometimes half an hour, or an hour.

Did the Princess ever take a bath on board the vessel ?-Yes.

More than once?-More than once. Do you remember her going below for that purpose?-Yes.

Who went below with her?-Bergami.

Upon all occasions when the Princess went below to take the bath, was she or not accompanied by Bergami?-Always, not only for the bath, but for every thing she did. For any other thing she did.

And for whatever purpose the Princess went below she was accompanied by Bergami?-Yes.

Have you ever seen Bergami sitting upon deck?-Yes.

Have you ever seen the Princess with him there?-I have. I have seen Bergami sitting upon a gun, and the Princess sitting upon his knee, and kissing each other.

Has this kissing, to your knowledge, happened once or more than once?-I saw it more than once.

When the Princess walked, whose arm did she take, or did she take the arm of any one?-She took, for the most part, the left arm of Bergami; nay, always, for I never saw her take the arm of any one else.

Did you ever, during the voyage, see any jokes or tricks played by Bergami? I have.

In the presence of the Princess ?—Yes, Can you describe what you allude to? -I saw him put some pillows or cushions under his Grecian robe, to make her Royal Highness laugh.

Cross-examination.-Say who it was that asked you to come here.-The podesta (governor) sent a messenger to bind me, because my commercial affairs called me to Naples.

Did you see the British minister at Naples?-I did.

Name him.-Sir William A'Court. He is the English ambassador.

Did you receive any promise of remuneration?-Yes, I have.

I want to know whether it was at the Minister's?-During the five days I had been at Naples endeavouring not to come here, I told all my circumstances to the Minister; and the Minister, being convinced of my situation, agreed to allow me 1000 dollars a-month; but I have already lost 4000. The cargo I had discharged at Reggio has not sold at the price for which it ought to have sold. I had, besides, advanced money at Manfredonia to buy another cargo, which has remained unemployed; and the Minister gave me the assurance at the last moment I set out.

Have you received any money in advance, or is it only in expectancy?—I have received 1000 dollars for one month. I received one month in advance at Milan.

How has your absence been the means of creating a loss on the cargo?—I left my ship, which had sailed from Manfre donia to go to Reggio, where she was to
