BRUSSELS, July 27.

Letters from Turin of the 13th state, that Lucien Bonaparte arrived there on the 12th, in the evening, with few attendants, under the name of the Count de Cassall. He had caused himself to be announced at the out-posts of Count Bubna, who sent Mr. de Forestier, one of his aides-de-camp, to accompany him thither. He had scarcely alighted at the hotel called the Universe, when the commandant of the place appeared with some officers, and conducted him to the citadel, where several rooms had been prepared for him, and where he is treated with much attention. This conduct towards him is attributed to certain pecuniary services which he rendered at Berne to the king of Sardinia's brother, who still resides in that city since he abdicated the crown. Lucien's intention was to go to Rome, and he said he could not comprehend why he was treated as a prisoner since he had always opposed the ambitious designs of his brother, and had lately gone to France, to bring him to a more moderate way of thinking. It seems that the king of Sardinia will not decide upon Lucien's fate, till he has asked at head-quarters the opinion of his powerful allies.
