To cross the Alps was Cardinal Fesch, brother of Madame Letitia Bonaparte by the side of her mother, who, in asecond marriage, chose a pedlar of the name of Nicolo Fesch, for herhusband. Joseph, Cardinal Fesch, was born at Ajaccio, in Corsica, on the 8th ofMarch, 1763, and was in his infancy received as a singing boy (enfant dechoeur) in a convent of his native place. In 1782, whilst he was on avisit to some of his relations in the Island of Sardinia, being on afishing party some distance from ...shore, he was, with his companions, captured by an Algerine felucca, and carried a captive to Algiers. Herehe turned Mussulman, and, until 1790, was a zealous believer in, andprofessor of, the Alcoran. In that year he found an opportunity toescape from Algiers, and to return to Ajaccio, when he abjured hisrenegacy, exchanged the Alcoran for the Bible, and, in 1791, was made aconstitutional curate, that is to say, a revolutionary Christian priest.
