Ambassadors and court life from Madrid to Versailes
From Madrid comes word that the Duc D'Estre amadore is named Ambassador to London and will depart for his embassy early February. Reports from Paris note the Prince of Condé, the Duke and Duchess of Bourbon, and Mademoiselle attended Versailles with royal questions about court attendance. A late December letter mentions the Duchess of Bourtton skipping a ball over concerns about royal proximity. In Saint Petersburg a senatorial sentence punished fabricators of false banknotes, with nobles degraded and exiled, and a Moscow college chief sent to a private soldier’s billet in Orensbourg. In England, Berks county election returned John Elwes without opposition after Thomas Craven’s death, while a Northampton meeting discussed a parliamentary candidate.
