PARISIAN FASHIONS.

Every thing than can be imagined of combinations
to vary the bead-dresses in hair, and the trimmings of
robes, were realised on Monday, the 2d instant, in
the dress of the Ladies who occupied the long gal-
lery of the Louvre. Let us begin with the head-
dresses in hair. Flowers prevailed ; but they were dis-
posed in different ways ; and, besides those in front,
commonly with a wreath, thick in the middle, and
sometimes in a string, there were others upon the rest
of the head-dress, where they generally appeared in
three directions ; first, strings of flowers ; parallel with
the diadem, that is, extending from one ear to the
other. Secondly, flowers in a small garland, ac-
companying the comb, or in place of the comb ;
and flowers in net work, upon the bunch of the
locks. Thirdly, flowers in parallel strings, from
the fiont to the back of the head. Diamonds, tinsel,
and pearls, had also their combinations ; and plumes
adorned the caps in various modes. The long ai,gr , tuts
icalled esprit:, were bent like a bird of paradise. There
Were a number of bird of paradise feathers. Then came
diadems of feathers, feathers grouped, and feathers
thrown as it were by chance. Three-fourths of the fea-
thers were white, and for this reason, white robes pre
vailed. Upon the robes, embroidery in silver lame
was oftener met with than that in gold lame. lieside,
the trimmings of embroidered flowers, was seen a
certain number of trimmings of detached flowers,
silver or gold. Three rows of lace were substituted for
flowers or embroidery, at the bottom of some robes.
A great many men wore (kart fumie) smoke-coloured
coats, with white edging,. white stockin&s, white vest,
and steel hilted swordi. A few white vests were
stiched down in silver. Two sorts of mixed cloth
were displayed in frocks of Longchamp ; one, car-
melite and green; the other, carmelite and blue,

The name of Lord CASTLEREAGH was introduced
by mistake into our report yesterday of the speech of
General MATHEW, at the Dinner of the Livery of
London, on Thursday, the General not having men.
tioned his Lordship's name.
Yesterday the flotilla of gun-boats, moored off the
SrrAxEn's house, raised the blockade of that. station,
and went down the Rive at high water. The appre-
hension of a coup de mares at tl;at point has therefore
ceased. .

The Princess of WALES dined, yesterday, with the
Duchess of DRUNswicK, at her house, Spring Gardens.
His Royal Highness the Duke of CLAIIICNCE is ex-
pected at Plymouth in a few days with one of his
sons, who is going to join the Ntsu. frigate, which
was launched the 3d instant.

Early yesterday, the second daughter of a wealthy
merchant eloped, accompanied by a female confidant,
with a military officer, from the residence of her fa 7
ther, in the neighbourhood of Bloomsbury-square.
Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens were yesterday
visited by all the votaries of fashion, who have not yet
repaired to their country seats, to pass the Easter ho-
lidays ; the line of carriages extended round the Park,
and the fineness of the day caused the- landaus, lan.
daulets, barouches, arid curricles, to be
thrown ripen by their fair occupants.
Mrs. Momm, a lady who has been long and de-
servedly ;dmired as a first-rate actress, at the Liver-
pool, Birmingham, and Cheltenham Theatres, makes
her debut before a London audience at the Hay-
! market Theatre, on Wednesday next, under the im-
mediate patronage of several persons of distinction.
The character she has chosen is that of Elmira, in
Pizarro, when the admirers of tragic excellence may
expect a finished reoresentation. There are some sin.
gular circumstances connected with the theatrical life
of Mrs. Mount:—she was the first actress with whom
the Young Roscius, Master BETTY, performed a
leading character, and as it baprentd she was also
the last. In the first instance she played Zara, in the
tragedy of that name, to Master BETTY'S Osmyn, at
Beititst ; and when be took his final leave of the stage,
at Stratford-upon-Avon, Mrs. MpoRE was the Lady
I?and.liiik to his Delights.

Miss PitASKOWJA LI:POLOWAt celebrated for her
filial tenderness, died lately at Novogorod. Six years
since she walked on foot from Tobolsk to St. Peters-
burgh (a distance of 4000 wersts) to solicit from the
Emperor the recal of her father, who had been ex-
iled to Siberia in 1798. It is on this circumstance the
play of the Exile, which, by a poetical licence, places'
the event in the reign if Euzwril, is founded.
Three Petitions have, it seems, been presented to
the Loan CHANITIERLAIN—one by Mr. SIIAW, who
claims a right under an agreement for a share of the
late Drury lane Theatre ; the second from the Band
who were employed in the Orchestra, and the third
from the Actors. Copies of these petitions have been
transmitted to those to whom the Special Licence for
the present season was "granted to tle joint 'application
of all parties principally interested," requiring their an-
swers to the circumstances stated, before his Lord-
ship can determine upon granting a Licence for the
next season.

Thursday, a duel was fought in HaCkney Fields,
between two Gentlemen residing in that neighbour-
hood, the one an eminent stock-broker, and the other
a junior partner in a mercantile house, in consequence
of a dispute which originated on the preceding day
at the house of a friend. The parties, after exchang-
ing shots, in which one of them was slightly woun-
ded in the shoulder, were interrupted by the seconds,
and a reconciliation took place.

CATIIOLICS.—Some Resolutions were adopted by
the Catholics of the County of Tipperary, at a meet-
ing held on the 31st of March, which express a strong
desire to obviate thu difficulties that have arisen in
the discussion of the Catholic claims. After advert-
ing to the apprehensions entertained, (which they
consider as the only remaining obstacle to Catholic
freed;im), lest the future appointments of Catholic
Prelates may be liable to a foreign influence, the second
Resolution states—

64 That, although we consider such apprehensions as wholly
groundless, and contrary to lohg experience of the acknowledged
virtues and unimpeachable good conduct of our Prelates, yet,
being earnestly desirous to conciliate all our Protestant country-
men, we feel every wish and hope, that those apprehensions may
be altogether obviated; and, for that purpose, that some tem-
perate measures may, in the event if Catholic Emancipation, be
upon mature deliberation devised, which shall render such future
elections substantially domeitic • eithei by the votes of the sur-
viving Prelates, or by the choiceof the Clergy of the Diocese, in
Chapter assembled, or by such other proceeding as shall be fou:.:1
compatible wkh Catholic Doctrine." •

ill at Bath. 1-lis Lordship's son, Mr. W. BURRELL,
left Town on Thursday night for Bath, in conse.

Late accounts from Cadiz, which have been further
confirmed from Gibraltar and Malta, say, that Ge-
neral GRAHAM had taken the most active and vigo-
rous measures ; the garrison was in high spirits, and
nothing feared from any efforts of the enemy.
Between Gibraltar, Ceuta, and Cadiz, there is work
cut out for bONAPARTE for a year or two.
A letter from Trinidad of February 16, received at
Glasgow last Tuesday, says, " An American frigate,
of 20 guns, searched.two vessels the other day outside
of the Grand Bocas. Two affidavits, by the Cap-
tains, are in the Custom-house. The reason the
American Captain gave for his conduct, was, Sat
the American ships had as good a right to search as
the British."

Power cm be detained, to whomsoever the Fargo
may belong, provided the ship's papers are found to

of war for England, or is not in other respects of sus-
picious character. On the contrary, if the ship be
not free, it follows as a consequence that the cargo is
not free."
Friday se'nnight, an affray, that threatened the
most serious consequences, took place in Francis-street,
Dublin. Some soldiers had, either purposely or in-
advertently, shoved a young man off the foot-way,
rather rudely, which he instantly resented and knock-
ed down several of them in succession, with the handle
of an umbrella. By this time a mob had collected
and attacked the solders with great fury: A military
guard fortunately arrived from the Coombe, before
any lives were lost ; but not, however, until two of
the soldiers were severely injured.
