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