France appoints Villeneuve envoy to Ottoman Porte
Reports from London detail King’s appointment of M. de Villeneuve as Embassador to the Ottoman Porte, with Abbots Levin and Fourmont accompanying him. Meanwhile clashes near Vaugirard among French Swiss guards leave casualties, including Count de Rousillon's Porter dying from wounds. The plenipotentiaries begin lodging at Soiffons as Windalgratz and Fleury secure residences for a year. News from Lisbon mentions arrivals of de Motta and Lescari aboard a French vessel, while various courtly, commercial, and theatrical notices fill the rest of the page.
