now some worshipper of art, who unfolds the treasures garnered within its walls; now a politician loud in his praises of Young Italy, or his condemnation of foreign interference. The Chevalier de Chatelaine is none of these, or rather, he is almost all of them by turns; and consequently his Rambles though Rome, descriptive of the Social, Political, and Ecclesiastical Condition of the City and its Inhabitants, is a volume of pleasant gossip, more amusing to the reader than flattering to the character of the Roman people or those who govern them.

A. N. The communication referred to shall be found if possible; but the number of papers we receive is not small, as our correspondent supposes.
J. B. C.'s communication was certainly intended for insertion. It shall be looked out and printed, with as little delay as possible.
