FASHIONS FOR AUGUST.

(From Le Follet.)

The town has now lost all its attractions ; we
bight to sigh for the seaside and the country. Thus the
toilettes suitable for these places have the greatest interest
at this season of the year. Polls de chevre, nliacas, and
quilting* are used in simple toilette ; but they are not
wanting in elegance.

For those who wish for something more dressy thee
Ripen, foulard may be substituted, or, what is still prettier,
white quilting, trimmed emu wtoured bands or ruches.
With these dresses the Zouave jacket is worn, trimmed to
match, with a full chernisette of cambric.

There is nothing very novel in the make of dresses this
mouth. The robe Beat& is perhaps the favourite, and
certainly deserves to be so, as it give* height to the figure
sad smallness to the waist. It his only one flounce at the
bottom of the skirt, but thin flounce is put on according to
hs cy. often raised at the sides, and forming a train behind.
In tarlatan and Ombra> gauze this dress is charming fee
creeping dress.

geitaido dram should be more remarkable for elegance
than richness ; therefore, tulle illusion and crape are pos.
rally considered out of place. We most, however, make
exceptions to this rule, as, at some of our fashionable water-
ing•plams, dress Is carried to a complete rivalry.
A robe &atria, of white Maritime, the flounce raised
at each .ide under bouquets of wild flowers. Coiffure, Pom-
padour of bouquets of wild flowers, with bows of black
velvet. _

A green silk diem, covered with three skirts of tulle, the
lame colour; a tonic of English guipum falling over the
ladle. Low, silk body, covered with tulle, sod trimmcd
with lace to match the skirt. Wreath of weterlilies sad
palms In the hair. _

"-A
pink silk dress, with an Enzlish lace flounce, placed a
Is &atria, sod caught op at the sides by bouquets of hew-
ties* tinted the some shad° as the dress. Coiffure,
bouquets of hortensia, with !aeries of white lace.
Let, a blue silk dress, with six flounces, three of which
are carried up to the waist, the body trimmed with wreathe
el tea-roses and foliage. Headdress; to match.
Linen drones, with paletots to match, embroidered in
black or red wool, are much worn ; as well Si blouses of
white muslin, or coloured jeconet.
We find that flounces are still in favour on thin dresses.
The bodies of these light dresses are generally made low,
and echos or pelerines worn with them. The sleeve* are
always wide, and ornamented to match the skirt. The
under sleeves very Large, and trimmed with butterfly bows.
With this style of dress. • small numtelet of the same is
often worn out of doors. That which meets with the
greatest success is the scarf, with brand, and very short
square ends ; simply trimmed with • flounce and heading,
mad bows of ribbon.

This year, barns is admitted for demi.toilette ; and,
certainly, a corn. flower blue barege over a taffetas skirt of
the same shade is very pretty. This dress should be
trimmed with three II•TTOIF ffonoces with headings. The
body plain sod high with a long scarf-ash of taffetas, with
fringed ends. The sleeves just easy, and opened up to the
elbow; trimmed with a frill.
The summer paletot, made of a material with a silk face,
is very suitable for this season, more especially for the
eoestry or for travelliog. It is both light and warm, sod
is made so that it may be either mowed over the cheat or
tetrad bock in revers.

-----
The shawls, trimmed mood with lace, are mode of violet,
}Rowe, or deep blue ; but, stilt oftener, of white ur black
gresadine or cashmere.
The Durum; or summer cape (in chaps very much the
same se the cardinal cape, worn some years since), is some.
times preferred to the paletot, especially with a fresh, light
dram, as being lees liable to crush. They are generally
made of drab, coloured, or black material, though often of
the same material as the dress. For the evening a white
cashmere buruous, with satin stripes, is fashionable.
There is • very stylish reiliegote, made for travelling
dress, of Indian fouler'', or mw silk. The plaits in (root
are piped with black taffetas. and down the front a row of
large black buttons is placed. All the seams of the skirt
aad body have thick pipings of black taffeta; sad round
the bottom of the skirt is • Bounce, about twenty-Aye inehes
in depth, put on in hollow plait; with sheath* bordered
with black, and ornamented by a button placed on each
plait. This toilette is completed by a hall-tight masque,
like the dress, and piped to match. This canine is opened
a little in front, and has • turneddeck collar and narrow
revers of black taffetas. Tho sleeves are half large,
with black trimmings. The ilreseeleeve is, of course,
made tight.
The Amazon bat is now worn in Para, as well as in the
country ; but care should he taken with the rest of the
dress, and the masque or paletot looks always the best with
this style of hat.
The Finland bat is very fashionable just now. The brim
of this hat falls a little to shade the eyes, with a bouquet of
Bowers guide at the edge. *a that it gives one the impression
of falling ; but it must be left so, as that is really 000 charm
in this graosful headdress.

The Tudor hat, edged with velvet. end trimmed with a
long curled feather at the side, sad pompon in front, is
'Jan very fashionable, and exceedingly becoming to moat
&OW.

But our modistes have not been unmindful of those who
still prefer bonnet., and great Mate is displayed with re-
gard to them. For example • • rice•straw bonnet, with
soft crown of tulle. Blonds curtain over mauve silk. The
frost lined with many°, and at the side a rosette of blood*,
from which falls a bunch of name Sowers. Another smaller
bunch of the same Bowers inside the bonnet°. the opposite
aide.
Black crinoline is also worn. Au elegant one was trimmed
with black ribbon, embroidered in maim, and trimmed with
• bouquet of geraniums and exotic fruits.
Orange blossom, for bridal wreathe, seems likely to be
=pomaded by white lilac, which is a f .r more elegant and
becoming glower, and MI be anseged with mere moos.

guard was repulsed by the Confederates. After-
wards, however, the position was carried by the

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom orra OWN

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENIXO.
The following most astounding news appears in
large type in the Pays:
A scene of • grave character ban lately peened at Rome,
and one which shows how greatly the sentiments of certain
members of the Papal government differ from those of the
Holy Father, who never speaks of the Emperor without
testifying the gratitude which he owes to him. In a recent
affray between a French and • Roman soldier about •
woman the Frenchman was wounded. According to exist•
tog conventions the pontifical soldier ought to have been
given up to be tried by a French courtmartial, and General
de Guyon claimed him. Mgr. de Merode refused. The
general then applied to Cardinal Antonelli, who admitted
the claim, and gave orders accordingly. Mgr. de Merode
still refused. The question was brought before the
Pope, who ordered Mgr. de Merode to give up the
soldier. Mgr. de Merode obstinately resisted this sove-
reign command. He went to General de Guyon in a state
of great irritation, and with threatening gestures spoke in •
most insulting way of the Emperor Napoleon. The general
then ordered him to be silent, sod told him that since be
wore a priest's dress he could not give him a couple of
boxes on the ear; but he desired him to consider himself
as having received then, morally, and he added that if he,
Mgr. de Maeda would throw off his frock, he, the general,
would take off his uniform and was ready to fight him.
Mgr. de Mamas took refuge su his ecclesiastical character.
The general answered that in any case he maintained the
moral chastisement, and he at once sent to fort Saint
Ange for the Roman soldier, who was at length given up
to him.

I doubt whether the annals of diplomacy for
many centuries can afford any parallel to the above
story, which you may be quite sure is thoroughly
official. It is essential to historical truth to ob-
serve that the above facts occurred at least a fort-
night ago, and that in the interim the Pays and other
semi-official journals in Paris have been swearing
till they wore black in the face that there was not
• word of truth in the alleged differences between
General de Goyon and Mgr. de Mamie.
I am sorry to report as probably authentic news
the statement in all the evening papers that Ge-
neral de Goyon is not to be recalled from Rome.
The rumour that he was coining to Paris arose
from the fact of his having gone to Civita Vecchia
for sea bathing.
French indignation (as screwed up by the go-
vernment press) at the naval preparations of Eng-
land ought to drop considerably when it comes to
be known that the sum voted for iron-plated vessels
on Friday last was not 2,500,0001., as the Petrie
stated twice over, but only 250,0001. We shall see
whether the Patric acknowledges this very con-
siderable mistake.

It is an indubitable fact that the representation
of Tartrate at Lyons has bean, and continues to be,
prohibited, but from what quarter the prohibition
comes is a mystery. Some days ago Count Walew-
ski, Minister of State, thought it necessary to put
a paragraph in the Muniteur denying the rumour
that he had interfered, and it was taken for
granted that JIMA. Pleasy—who had been engaged
expressly to play the principal lady's part in the
piece—would be allowed to go on ; but to
this hour the Lyons people are waiting for
their Tartrate, and inquiries at the theatre, to
"know the reason why," produce no straightforward
answers. The local press does not dare even men-
tion Moliere's play by name. The Salsa Public
says that it holds its tongue about "the piece in
question" for the best of all possible reasons,
namely, that it is forced to do so. Who can it be,
then, that prohibits the performance of the great
national dramatist's works in the second city of
France 1 The only key to the mystery is to be
found in the reflection, is fecit cut p►odest. There
must be some Tartuffes in Lyons, some black dra-
goons who, in a left-banded clerical way, have in-
terest enough to do what an intelligent minister of
state is ashamed of. But Lyons is not
in a state of siege'; M. Vaisse, the senator,
who rules there as prefect, is not invested
with dictatorial powers ; and it is scarcely conceiv-
able that Count de Persiguy can allow the govern-
ment, to whose reputation for sagacity and liberality
he is so fondly attached, to bear the weight of ridi-
cule which it cannot shake off if this interdiction is
to be maintained.

The Bourse continues firm, but the Rents closed
without alteration, and there was scarcely any
change in Mobilier or railways.
M. Milhaud (formerly a plytner of Mires) has
obtained from the Imperial Court of Appeal the
reversal of a judgment pronounced against him in
April last, whereby he was decreed to refund the
subscriptions of certain contributors to the Nassau
Railway, on the ground that they had been in-
duced to subscribe by a fraudulent prospectus.
The court, however, refusal the appellant bis
costs, for the reason that "although the facts im-
puted to Milhaud do not present that character of
fraud which would entitle the plaintiff to a verdict,
they are not so commercially honest as not to have
justified a legal complaint." You see that there
are nice distinctions in French as well as English
laws.

A gentleman named De la Baume, of alnoble
French family, and who retired from the army after
the revolution of 1830, has just died at Nice. He
is noted for having had, in 1832, a duel with a
person who spoke disrespectfully of the Duchess of
Berry, and in it he received a ball in the region
of the lungs. The ball could never be extracted,
which, however, did not prevent M. de la Baume
from enjoying very tolerable health during the
twenty-nine years which have paned since he was
wounded.

A journal announces that Chancellor Pasquier,
notwithstanding his ninety-Sse years, has now
regained his strength so much that he has asked
for his papers from a friend to whose care he had
entrusted them when ho found himself seriously
ill. The ex-Chancellor is now tolerably well, and,
with the exception of a deafness, has no bodily
ailment.

The formal reception of the line of railway from
Trews; to the frontier of Luxemburg took plat* on
the 26th, iu presence of the engineer* of the com-
pany, the contractors, and a number of persona
specially invited. The line was gone over by •
special train and found to be in excellent condition.
A grand banquet was given on the occasion at the
station of Wasserbillig. Thu line will be very
shortly open to the public.
