Foreign Correspondence
9stters FROM EtaIp 49, No. XVII.


We are out of Rome, and I will not trouble
-ou with our long quarrels with Vetturini before

Itch gentleman and myself went to the Post House
r. oct carriage and horses, to be posted on to
Elorence; but Rome was emptying itself, and all
had been engaged days beforehand. Sowe finally
stuck I'D bargain with Vetturino to carry us
through with one team.
We started with rather bad omen. was up
before it was daylight, and stepping into mar
row street for the purpose Of crossing to the lodg-
inus of nv English friend, encountered four men
bearing, nolselessly and rapidly along, corpse.
But imagine US finally standing at the Piazza
del Popolo, while the officers examined our pass
ports to see if all was right. by the way, how
odd it is, that one must fortify himself with any
quantity Of signatures, and quarrel his way into
a city, then encounter the same trouble in getting
out of it, But, as / was about to say, picture to

seat in addition to the main covering-painted
pale green, with gold-leaf grapevine running
around it for border, and four fat lazy horses at

It was finely cushioned, however. and rode easier
than any hack
As we trotted away from the walls of the eter-
nal CITY, an indescribable sadness stole over me-
It seemed like leaving the graveyard of all that
was great on earth. There the heart of the world
once beat till the farthest extremities felt the
mighty pulsations. The greatest and fercest souls
earth ever nurtured had stormed and died there.
There man had wrought with highest pride, and
skill, and force and there now were only his
greatest ruins. Oh what bitter mockery that
fallen empire its broken thrones, and faded glories
uttered on man and mans ambition. And yet
there was as much of pity as sarcasm IN their
silent language. Ambition with thy heated blood,
and wild fever tossings, and cursed devastations,
and bloated pride; come look on thy greatest,
most perfect work
As | was indulging in this train Of bitter refec-
ton / looked up, and 10, there stood before me
small house perfectly buried in grape-vines, and
hedges, and flowers; and on it painted in large
capitals, PAEvA DoMUs SEQ MAGMA QUIEs.' The
sngularity of the inscription, and the sweet little
nest on which it was written, took re wholly by
surprise, and captivated me at once. A small
house but great repose'--then thou art worth all
Rome-aye, and the world to boot. Magma
Quies, wished I had the house! Rest-repose !!
