Full Text

Letters from Vienna observe, that the Marquis de Noailles, proceeded (for the last time) in his state carriage, with the full family liveries, and the arms blazoned, to the house of the Chancellor, Prince de Kaunitz, and put, with great form, into his hands, the memorial wherein Louis the sixteenth declares himself the "chief of the revolution of France." The real answer given to the Ambassador has not yet transpired; but a courier has, on this occasion, been dispatched to the Emperor, who is now at Parma. Monsieur Noailles who, previously to the revolution styled himself Marquis, no longer presents himself in any other character than that of the Ambassador of France; and this without even joining to the appellation his family name; yet, his two sons continue to be addressed, in all companies, as the Comtes de Noailles.
