We hear, from Paris, that the King has taken a surprising turn, and seems at present to find his greatest pleasure in politics; he has quitted the bosom of Madam Barre for the cabinet; and, feeble as he is, never fails of assisting at all the councils. Some say that this is in consequence of the present disposition of the three powers who are now about to make a division of the kingdom of Poland; and that, if possible, he is determined to frustrate their cruel and ambitious designs. For this purpose he is endeavouring to engage the Kings of Great Britain and Spain to join him, and to oppose those usurpers. A messenger is said to have arrived at the French ambassador's in Great George street, from Paris, on the above important business. Should Great Britain and Spain acquiesce to Lewis's scheme, which is not improbable, it is very likely we shall see Europe in arms in less than three months.
