The Virginia Gazette

They write from Paris, that the Harmony, which has hitherto attended the French Councils, had suffered some Abatement. For not only the Enemies of the Administration, (or what Administration is there without Enemies) cry out upon so much good Time's being lost, and the fairest Opportunities baulk'd of enlarging the Frontiers of the French Empire; but likewise the Count de Belleisle, and two other Marshals of France, have pretty openly declar'd themselves to be of the same Sentiments.

The Cardinal Minister, who is a Person of great Mildness and entirely Master of his Passions, took occasion to satisfy those Military Gentlemen, by acquainting them, that the Advices he had just received from a certain Court, gave Ground to believe, that the publick Tranquility would be but too soon broken, and that they were very near having an Opportunity of displaying their Zeal for the Honour of the King and the Nation. The particular Court here meant by his Eminency is not certainly known whether that of Vienna or Manheim; but 'tis much beyond all doubt, that the Coolness between the former and the Court of Versailles encreases every Day.
