Rome, Aug. 6. 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.
