Sir Charles, thinking the relation would be pain-ful to the count, withdrew with him into his study. Mrs. Beaumont, and Signer Jeronymo, told those who were not present at the affecting scenes, what had passed.

When we were summoned to dinner, every one received Lady Clementina as an angel. They ap-plauded her for her noble behaviour to the count, and blessed themselves for having taken the resolution of coming to England; and most of all, they blessed my dear Sir Charles; to whom they ascribed all their opening happy prospects; and promised themselves that iiis family and theirs would be as much one, as if the alliance, once so near taking place, had actually done so.

Sir Charles, at and after dinner, urged the carrying into execution the latter part of his beneficent plan. He offered to attend them to the drav. ing-room, to the play, to the oratorios (and took that op portunity to give the praises which every-body allov.s to be due to ^Ir. Handel); and to every place of public entertainment which was worthy the notice of foreigners; and left it to their choice, whether they would go first to Grandison-hall, or satisfy their cu-riosity in or about town.

The marquis said, that as Sir Charles and I were brought out of the country by the arrival of their Clementina, and our expectation of them, he doubted not but it would be most agreeable to us, to return to our own seat; adding, politely, that the highest entertainraent they could have, would be the company and conversation of us, and our friends; and that rather at our own seats, than any-where else. The public diversions, he v.as pleased to say, might take their attention afterwards. Now they were here, they would not be in haste to return, provided Sir Charles and his friends would answer the hope Jie had given of accompanying them back to Italy.

There is no repeating the polite and agreeable things that were said on all sides.

Thus then, my dear grandmamma to cut shorty it was at last agreed:

The Count of Belvedere, who all the afternoon and evening, received the highest marks of civility and politeness from the admirable Clementina (which, by the way, I am afraid will not ])romote his cure) proposes, with Signers Sebastiano and Juliano, to pass a month or six weeks in seeing every-thing^ which they shall think worthy of their notice in and about this great city; and then, after one farewell-visit to us, they intend to set out together for the court of Madrid; where the Count intends to stay some months.

We shall all set out, on Monday next for Gran-di.>on-liall.

Lord and Lady L. will follow us in a week or fortnight.

How will the poor dear Charlotte mutter! whis-pered Lady L. to me: but she and her lord will join us as soon as possible.
