The King has promoted the Count D'Aubigny to the rank of Vice Admiral of France.
Monsieur, and his brother, the Count D'Artois, after the example of the reforms which oeconomy has dictated to his Majesty, have caused letters patent to be published, setting forth the necessity of making a reform in their households; in consequence of which, these Princes, in order to attain that end, have given orders to their great officers to give them an account of every thing susceptible of reform in their respective departments.
The Count de Rochambeau set out this day for Brest, where all the officers of his army have orders to repair by the 25th of this month. It appears, that the Chevalier de Ternay's squadron is to convoy that army to America, and that after the Count D'Estaing shall have escorted the troops with twelve ships to a certain latitude, he is to return to Brest.
