FASHION.—In many respects, says a French journal,
we are now as prone to copy the English examples of dress,
as they were formerly to imitate us. The English hat, from
its greater durability, is fast becoming a favourite with our
countrymen ; and the registered paletot of Nicoll is no longer
confined to Regent-street, and the other fashionable lounges
-of London, but may be here seen on the back of royalty itself,
.and clothing the most fastidious of our beaux.
