(PROM A TOUR or INQUIRY THROUGH FRANCE AND

ITALY

BY EDMUND SPENCER, ESQ•)

of Child°

The next morning, at Capua, while breakfasting with
our gallant friends, the waiter announced a French lady,
the Countess de L—e, an elegant, lady-like, woman,
who, although somewhat past the age of love and romance,
might still be termed pretty. She stated that the object
of her visit was to petition for a place in our carriage as
far as Rome, and another on the outside for her servant,
offering to pay her share of the expenses. She apologised,
in the politest manner, for the intrusion, by saying, that
being unprotected, she trusted the unsettled state of the
country might he pleaded as an excuse for the liberty she
bad taken; adding, that she knew by placing herself
under the protection of Englishmen—a name synonymous
with all that was brave and honourable—her safety would
be insured.

Who could resist such a flattering speech ? My friend,
whom we termed the philosopher of Boston, looked at
his companion, the poet of New York, and both cast a
searching glance on their English brother ; and presuming
their feelings agreed with mine, and that denial was im-
posssible, we made our wishes and convenience submit,
though, with shame I confess it, very reluctantly, to our
gallantry.

The circumstance would have been too trifling to re-
cord, were it not illustrative of the social character of the
country, and the protecting care with which a traveller is
watched on every side by the secret agents of this most
suspicious government. Before we quitted the hotel, a
kind friend placed in my hand a slip of paper, in which
he cautioned me to beware of the lady, as he knew her to
be one of the most dangerous women in Italy—a perfect
Jesuit in petticoats—a spy of the police, and that her ser-
vant was, in all probability, a priest.
In addition to her personal charms, and great amiability
of manners, our fair Jesuit, as a linguist, was admirably
qualified to carry on any political intrigue with success.
She spoke the Italian language almost with the fluency of
asuntsateilveenhyshweealllsotok

As may be supposed, it required a great deal of acting
on m prt to mystify
howevy era• • • so clever a woman. I succeeded,
, drawing fro her an admission that she s
engaged, with other pioum s French ladies of high rankwa, in
endeavouring to convert the English aristocracy, while
travelling on the continent, to the
Catholic faith.
If her representations might be relied on, and I have no
reason to doubt them, she was on terms of intimacy and
corresponded with several of our great Roman Catholic
families in England and Ireland. She spoke most affec-
tionately of her dear Lord and Lady Fielding, of those
shining lights who had seen the error of their ways, and
embraced the true faith—Messrs. Newman, Wilberforce,
and Manning—and stated how instrumental she had been
in their conversion, This, with her allusions to many other
Persons of distinguished rank in England, suspected to be
wavering in their belief of the doctrines of the Reformed
Church, affording additional confirmation to the opinion
I had long entertained, that a widely-spread organised
conspiracy exists, the object of which is to undermine the
Protestant faith of England.
What the object of our fair countess could have been in
thus unceremoniously introducing herself to our society,
I could not discover. The two American gentlemen I
travelled with spoke no other language than their own,
except a little French ; she could not therefore suppose
them to be political emissaries. Perhaps, in the first in-
stance, she concluded from my name that I was that great
apostle of modern Romanism, Father Ignatius, on a pil-
grimage to Rome. Or it may be that, as French imagi-
nation often sees more than the reality, her suspicions in-
vested me with some character to which I was a stranger
—a revolutionary agent travelling under a false name, or I
know not what. However this may be, our amiable fel-
low traveller must have been speedily convinced that nei-
ther his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies, nor his
Holiness the Pope, had anything to fear from the propa-
gandising propensities of her fellow travellers ; and if she
were really desirous of reaching Rome in any seasonable
time, the distance we travelled each day must have been
too short to meet her wishes ; there were a hundred objects
of antiquity to be visited in a country where every inch of
doe ground is interesting. Consequently, after two days'
ttiroeY, she bade us adieu at St. Agatha, with many ex-
aresions of gratitude on her side, and of regret on ours ;
t'uti'vre once more expressed our thoughts, and gave vent
011)1E fetlings, as if we were breathing the free air of dear
ngolnd.
