Paris notes express distress at Seville and Nevers while Geneva claims amicable settlement with Turin. Fontainebleau news details hunting orders, court visits, and plans to dismantle the Ulysses gallery.

Also advertised are Spanish shoe polish, a gold watch reward with chain and seal, a black dog reward, a gold headed cane reward, and a searching notice for a lost liver and white dog with rewards offered.
