Paris, April 7. The Count de la Mark, by his Industry and Address, has in a short Time regulated 3 important Affairs at Madrid. He began by dissipating the Clouds which seem'd to threaten Disturbance to the Tranquility of Europe; he afterwards concluded the Marriage of Madam with the Infant Don Philip; and to complete all, he has just obtained the Accession of the King of Spain to the Treaty of Vienna. The Union of this Court and that of Madrid becomes closer every Day than other; it discovers itself on all Occasions, and particularly in the Marks of Consideration that their Embassadors reciprocally receive at Paris and Madrid. When either the Marques de la Mina or his Lady appear in the Apartments of the King or Queen, the folding Doors are always opened for them: Cardinal de Fleury, whenever he is with the Marquess, always takes Care to give him the right Hand; and his Eminence has given Orders that whenever this Ambassador would speak to him, to introduce him immediately to his Closet. It's reported that the Duke de Fleury and the Marquess d'Anxi, Nephews of the Cardinal, will be made Grandees of Spain of the first Class.
