I like the Bellegardes exceedingly.
Our old friend, Lord Lilford, is at Paris, and is as amiable and kind-hearted as ever.

He dined with us yesterday, and we talked over the pleasant days we spent at Florence.

Well-educated, and addicted to neither of the prevalent follies of the day, racing nor gaming, he only requires a little ambition to prompt him to exertion, in order to become a useful, as well as an agreeable member of the community, but with a good fortune and rank, he requires an incentive to action.
Met last evening at Madame Craufurd's the Marquis and Marquise Zamperi of Bologna.

She is pretty and agreeable, and he is original and amusing.

They were very civil, and expressed regret at not having been at Bologna when we were there.
Had a visit from Count Alexandre de Laborde to-day.
