M. de Bezenval was second in command under M. de Broglio, a particular favorite of the Queen, with whom he had the confidence to remain until the King returned from Paris. It was this gentleman who peevishly observed to his majesty, that as there was no further occasion for him, he would call his carriage, and go home; to which an old nobleman replied, "Your carriage! a post-chaise and eight you mean." It now appears, that for his own safety he should have followed the old veteran's advice.
