Rome, Aug. 6. . . [12 lines regarding Court of Spain] The
other day, when the Dutchess Dowager de Guadaguolo-Conti
gave a grand ball to a great many persons of distinction,
who should be there but the Chevalier de St. George, finely
dress'd after the Romish mode, with a crown upon his head?
He open'd the ball with the Dutchess of Lanti, and danc'd
very gracefully; but towards the conclusion of it, there
were several figure dances in which he tripp'd it so nimbly
that his crown fell off, which made Pasquin say, that the
Prince's crown was light.
