in cutting out this coat was to fix the fashion for virtu

great difficulty as to the precise stuff and cut neces

Some were of opinion that soldier clothes, as emblem
attic of civil functions and sword peace were alone
the thing Others believed that nothing but apparel
such as the tailor describes in PetruchO could enable
the radical reservoir who goes By the name Of Envoy or
Charge to pour forth the gOres Of his dear country at

history we suppose there has never been so splendid

the shape of coats; great bis skill in the texture and

shown himself equal to this task, shown it in the face
of all Europe aud with all the dandes of Paris to ad
mire and applaud He has invented a new livery for
republican diplomats Henceforth who can doubt his
ability to twist Spain around his finger
We admire hugely Mr. SOul6s notion of having the
velvet coat with . standing collar. Spain is so pune
