«Мемуары Шарля-Луи, барона де Пёльница. Том II»

Среди удовольствий этой нации нельзя не упомянуть поездки за город. Англичане придают им огромную ценность, и поистине имеют на то основания, ибо страна их прелестна. Она производит всё, кроме вина. Поля их круглый год радуют свежей зеленью, загородные усадьбы знати великолепны, и в провинции англичане живут с грандиозностью вельмож, тогда как в Лондоне большей частью обитают как простые частные лица.

Ничто не может быть приятнее для глаза, чем окрестности Лондона, особенно вдоль Темзы. Не постигаю, как уроженец Англии, да к тому же обладающий состоянием, может решиться покинуть эти края, как поступают тем не менее многие англичане, предпочитающие родине земли, к которым природа была не столь благосклонна. Признаюсь, имей я тысячу фунтов стерлингов годового дохода в Англии, я бы отрекся от самых блестящих посулов фортуны где-нибудь в другом месте; ибо климат здесь мягкий, без изнуряющей жары или холода, доставляющих столько хлопот в иных уголках земного шара. И действительно, именно по этой причине здешние фрукты не столь сочны, как в иных краях, и здесь не растет виноград для производства вина; однако этот недостаток восполняется испанскими и португальскими винами, которые в изобилии доставляются сюда в готовом виде.

Один из самых отрадных видов здешней провинции — счастливое положение крестьян, которые все до единого хорошо одеты, обуты и сыты. Их доля счастливее участи многих джентльменов в известных мне провинциях. Здесь нет и следа той чрезмерной субординации, которой требуют гранды в других странах. Дворянин, наносящий визит лорду, принимается им как равный, и ему не дают почувствовать разницу в происхождении. Тем не менее великих людей здесь весьма почитают; ибо пока они вежливы, каждый старается оказать им всяческое уважение, но никто не считает себя рожденным для того, чтобы сносить от них оскорбления.

Здешняя знать, как и во Франции, без колебаний берет в жены женщин из менее знатных семейств. По правде говоря, следует проводить четкое различие между английским купцом и купечеством в других странах. Англичане зачастую происходят из самых славных семейств королевства, и нам доводилось видеть, как некоторые из них поднимаются из-за прилавка в пэры, когда по праву преемственности переходят из младших ветвей в старшие. Таким образом, когда аристократ женится на купеческой дочери, она порой оказывается его кузиной или особой из знатного рода; тогда как во Франции это неизменно дочь простолюдина.

Таковы, сударь, немногие наблюдения, сделанные мною в этой стране, и я надеюсь, они вас развлекут. Поскольку я намерен пробыть здесь еще некоторое время, в дальнейшем я смогу прислать вам новые заметки о происходящих событиях. А пока удостаивайте меня и впредь чести своей памяти и будьте свято уверены, что никто на свете не преимянует себя с большей искренностью, чем ваш покорный слуга, и т. д.

ПРИМЕЧАНИЯ:

[1] Его Высокопреосвященство скончался в начале 1733 года, после чего ведение испанских дел было поручено синьору Томасу Ратто и Оттинелли, бывшему аудитору Трибунала Роты, а ныне епископу Кордовы, на смену которому пришел кардинал Аквавива.

[2] Ныне папа Климент XII, племянники и племянницы которого в нем проживают.

[3] Последняя кляча, преподнесенная от имени Австрийского дома, была доставлена князем Санта-Кроче, назначенным императором для этой церемонии, поскольку ввиду завоевания Испанией Неаполитанского королевства коннетабль предпочел не вмешиваться в это дело до его окончательного разрешения. Это происходило в 1734 году.

[4] Ныне он является кардиналом и архиепископом Беневенто.

[5] Эта принцесса, родившаяся 6 июля 1702 года по старому стилю, скончалась 7 января 1735 года.

[6] Поскольку барон более трех лет назад не осмелился поставить на кон сколько-нибудь значительную сумму ради исполнения этого пророчества, ныне можно смело сказать, что оно и гроша ломаного не стоит.

[7] Его Высокопреосвященство возвратился во Францию, и на посту посланника его сменил герцог де Сен-Эньян.

[8] О смерти этого кардинала уже упоминалось. Его преемником стал господин Ратто, епископ Кордовы.

[9] Генрих был сыном короля Эмануэля, а Себастьян — внуком Жуана III, брата кардинала Генриха.

[10] Впрочем, он сделал это в 1733 году.

[11] С момента написания этих писем он действительно вернулся и пока отделся легким испугом. Хотя участь его еще окончательно не решена, несомненно одно: сана его не лишат. Вынесен и утвержден приговор, согласно которому он объявлен отлученным от церкви без права на отпущение грехов иначе как папой, и то лишь in articulo mortis; кроме того, он должен быть заточен в крепость, лишен права голоса и права высказываться и т. д. Но поскольку omnia venalia Roma — ныне даже в большей степени, чем во времена Югурты, — кардинал дель Джиндичи, друг его Высокопреосвященства Коши, дал тому понять, что папа намерен обойтись с ним как с опальным великим визирем, что он обязан в точности вернуть все средства и что тогда все его грехи будут преданы забвению. Вследствие этого его Высокопреосвященство смирился и испросил у Святейшего отца милосердия на условии щедрой оплаты, и в конце концов его прощение было оценено в тридцать тысяч дукатов. Он немало возмущался сим, но Святой Отец не уступил ни цента, и кардиналу пришлось покориться; однако, вечно уповая на скорую смерть папы, он попросил о рассрочке платежа и, внеся задаток в десять тысяч крон, немедленно получил отпущение грехов, с него сняли стражу и даровали свободу прогуливаться по замку Святого Ангела, беседуя там со своим братом, епископом Таргским. Ссылаясь на бедность, он уклоняется от выплат под различными предлогами, неустанно надеясь, что подагра поднимется в желудок папы и уберет того с его дороги. Наконец, в 1734 году он выплатил еще десять тысяч крон. Но сборщик налогов, от которого он некогда получил крупный подарок за содействие в получении от Папской палаты квитанции об уплате долга в семьдесят тысяч крон, недавно скончался несостоятельным, не возместив мошенничество; и поскольку «Цезарь, как говорится, ничего не теряет», Палата предъявляет иск кардиналу Коши, которого приговаривают к выплате и этой недоимки тоже, причем папа и слышать не желает ни о каких мировых соглашениях.

[12] Впоследствии он возвел его в кардинальское достоинство, однако тот скончался в Беневенто в 1733 году. После его кончины никто не желал принимать этот бенефисий, пока папа не пожаловал его аббату Конти, римлянину, который согласился принять его лишь при условии, что Святейший отец в придачу дарует ему красную шляпу, что тот и исполнил при последнем возведении в кардиналы.

[13] В газетах 1732 года сообщалось, что этого прелата приговорили к обезглавливанию, но Святейший отец заменил казнь десятью годами тюремного заключения. Позднее в прессе писали, будто папа сократил срок — сначала до семи, а затем до трех лет. В конце концов папа вознамерился перевести его в Перуджу или иное место, но прелат отказался ехать, заявив, что если он не может обрести полную свободу, то желает жить и умереть в замке Святого Ангела.

[14] Происхождение этого обряда, если верить отцам Сирмону и Чикарелли, таково: оно восходит к римскому обычаю раздавать народу в каждое воскресенье Пятидесятилетия остатки пасхальной восковой свечи, освященной в Великую Субботу. Простонародье, которому свойственно суеверие, приписывало этому освященному воску различные целебные свойства, в частности считало его оберегом от дьявольских наваждений, ударов молнии и прочих бед, и кусочки этого воска сжигали в домах. Поскольку пасхальной свечи не хватало на всех желающих, архидиакон додумался брать другой воск, сбрызгивать его маслом, освящать, лепить из него фигурки в виде агнцев и раздавать народу. Впоследствии эти кусочки воска стали просто сплющивать и ставить на них печать с изображением агнца, несущего знамя креста. Считается, что прикасаться к ним дозволено лишь лицам в духовном сане, а для мирян их аккуратно зашивают в расшитые ткани. Монахи искуснейшим образом дурачат доверчивых людей, раздавая им те «агнус деи», которые никогда не бывали по ту сторону Альп.

[15] Он занимает должность вице-камергера папы.

[16] Находясь на конгрессе в Камбре, он возомнил себя способным упорядочить домашнее хозяйство каждого полномочного министра; по сути, это было единственное, чем он там занимался. Однажды ему взбрело в голову изложить свои правила домоводства у лорда Уитворта, однако хозяйка дома не проявила должной уступчивости; ибо, как она изволила выразиться, господин маркиз, мы пользуемся услугами итальянцев для устройства концертов, но что до стола, то позвольте нам обратиться к французам.

[17] Кардинал Гримани наследовал кардиналу Бентивольо на посту легата в Болонье, как только нынешний папа возвел его в кардинальское достоинство; однако он скончался в этой должности, и Святейший отец передал ее Джованни Баттисте Спиноле, которого незадолго до того возвел в пурпур.

[18] Тем не менее между этими двумя фамилиями существует различие: герцог Фердинанд — последний представитель рода Кеттлеров, тогда как из рода Медичи доныне здравствуют принцы, обладающие неоспоримым правом на престолонаследие; ибо несомненно, что Бернардо де Медичи, старший брат папы Льва XI, происходил от Ювенко де Медичи, брата Сильвестра Кларисссимуса, родоначальника ныне правящей ветви. Этот Бернардо де Медичи был сыном Оттавиано, последнего гонфалоньера Флоренции в 1528 году. Он приобрел баронство Оттаяно близ Везувия в Неаполитанском королевстве, куда и перенес эту ветвь Медичи; а нынешний принц Оттаяно и герцог Сарно, женатый на Терезе, дочери Карла, принца Аквавива, приходится ему праправнуком.

[19] Граф де Шарни подписывается как N. d’Orleans C. de Charni. Он является бастардом из дома Орлеанов, однако чьим именно — неведомо. Он сделал карьеру при испанском дворе и ныне занимает пост коменданта Неаполя и генерал-лейтенанта королевства.

[20] Этот принц проследовал через Францию и прибыл во Флоренцию в начале 1732 года.

[21] Этот молодой принц скончался в 1734 году, а его прославленный дядя — в следующем году.

[22] Испанцы захватили его в самом начале войны, и это было их первыми боевым успехом.

[23] Джаффери сделал всё от него зависящее, но был вынужден подчиниться силе, поскольку республике помогали войска, стянутые императором в Ломбардию для противодействия замыслам испанцев, которых тот опасался в ту пору. Джаффери был арестован, но благодаря великой изворотливости и хитрости сумел обрести свободу после того, как генуэзцы уверовали, будто корсиканцы разоружены, лишены предводителей и приведены к повиновению, после чего он удалился в Тоскану. Однако корсиканцы, к коим отнеслись ничуть не лучше, чем до заключения соглашения, вновь взялись за оружие, и тогда Джаффери раздобыл для них всевозможную помощь, лично вернулся на остров и возглавил мятежников, у которых появились неплохие шансы вернуть себе свободы. Окрыленные надеждами на иностранную помощь, они отвергли новые уступки, предложенные генуэзцами в декабре 1734 года, провозгласили Айтелли генералом войск, а некоего Косту, искусного интригана, — генеральным аудитором острова; и в то же время обратились к королю Испании с предложением взять их под свое покровительство, окончательно разорвав всякую связь с Генуэзской республикой, объявив себя свободным и независимым народом и решив защищать свои вольности до последнего человека. Наконец, они получили подкрепления деньгами и боеприпасами благодаря некому Теодору, называвшему себя бароном де Нейхоффом, который прибыл в марте 1736 года на английском корабле из Туниса; имя же державы, от чьего лица он действовал, до сих пор остается загадкой. Ему посчастливилось быть провозглашенным королем Корсики, и там даже чеканилась медная монета с его изображением; однако впоследствии он был вынужден покинуть остров, а французы взяли на себя улаживание спора между генуэзцами и корсиканцами. Время покажет, будут ли генуэзцы удовлетворены этим грозным посредничеством. В конце концов, у этой республики слишком много причин помнить слова принца Людвига Вюртембергского, который по возвращении с императорскими войсками после подавления предыдущего восстания изрек, будто этот остров не стоит тех расходов, которые понесла республика на усмирение корсиканцев и которые ей придется постоянно нести для поддержания над ними власти.

[24] Принц питал склонность к мадемуазель де Кюмиан еще до ее замужества с графом де Сен-Себастьен, когда она состояла фрейлиной при Мадам Руаяль. Впоследствии она была дамой чести при герцогине Савойской и, наконец, первой камеристкой принцессы Пьемонтской, покойной королеве Сардинии. Она овдовела в 1723 году. После замужества с графом де Сен-Себастьен она по-прежнему пользовалась расположением и уважением короля и сохраняла при нем огромный вес. Когда же она овдовела, старые любовные увлечения вспыхнули с новой силой: король выделил ей апартаменты при дворе, где мог видеться с ней инкогнито, и взял на себя заботу о ее семье.
