Highness. During the twelve days I was at Rome, I was
frequently at the house of the Princess, and dined there
most days with her. She was visited by persons of high
rank- I did not see many persons at her table. Baron
.--, who was app ' d by the Government to 'fiend
her, was there. Two ladies of high rank also attended
her as Ladies of Honour. She had also a guard of honour

and all those marks of distinction paid to her as is usually
paid in Rome to royal personages. Lord Kilworth also
visited the Princess, and the Abbe Taylor was her con-
stant guest. Bei gami was Chamberlain to the Princess
