ENGLISH FASHIONABLES IN ITALY.

ROME, Fia. 26.

The feuds and jealousies which have tormented our country
people during the last few months, have subsided with the Carnival.
-One portion of the Bull Family has gone off to Naples, and the
other is employing itself in following the directions of Mrs.
STARK! or Mons. Vast: There will, of worse, be a junction
for the Holy Week, and, as of late years, most unholy proceed-
ings will take place, such as taking the Sistine Chapel by storm,
pushing the Pope and Pilgrims into a coiner, and upsetting the
basin of water destined to wash the Apostles feet, &c. What,
.however, is the Santo Padre to do? Rome lives by the English,
and a good face must be put upon things.
There has been a famous monsoons to keep St. Peter's from a
regular promenade on Sunday afternoon. The Porn said, " Since
the bight!: come here for the singing, and will not believe that any
people say their prayers, send a few music; and bast to the Church
of Maria, and if any Catholic Clergyman of their own country will
give them a sermon, it may do them a deal of good : and thus
order will be restored during Vespers at St. Peter's:" So it has
happened; the saki scream away most successfully In the Cots°,
sad Mr. /lam and Mr. WISEMAN preach alternately very good

aetniona to a crowd of English, and St. Peter's sublimity is en-
joyed by the quiet few.
By way of regulating the evenings, three or four of our country.

women attempted to form a anamitlee, in the style of the Ladies
Patronesses of 411mack* s s but it would not do. The very Ladies
to be blackballed had the best parties ; and, strange enough, whenever?
the Committee could procure admission to them, they always went—
of course with fear and trembling. One of the Members resolved to
seduce the Leaders to her views, and gave a sumptuous banquet to I O.
The French Ambassador sat upon the Lady's right, and scarcely bad
the first course been removed, when his Excellency was addressed to
thie effect, in a very audible voice—" Your house, M. Le Dui, is
the fee simile of a wird* at Broadstairs or Margate—how can you
receive she's as Impudent as she's pretty." All *yea were
turned to the head of the table, and the griateit silence reigned,
when M. de LAVAT, with apparent astonishment and great asiville,
answered, "Eh Bien, ssilady. je pads vows swum flu ts'afail asinine
alienate sea mei." The Duke's Mushiest was censured ; Lady —,
Lady and another Lady, looked at each other, tossed their
plumes, and gave In their resignation as Ladies Patronesses.

cheetful manner attempted to do; but. we are sorry to
say, was compelled to stop in the opening of her song.
