Paris, Nov. 17.
Since the Return of Cardinal de Fleury to the Court the Intrigues there seem to be a little dissipated, or at least they do not appear so openly as before. There still, however, but three powerful Cabals, viz. that of the House of Conde, which acts for the Duke of Bourbon, whereof he is Head; that of the Family of Noailles, supported by the Countess de Thouloufe, who works hard to get M. Chauvelin to Court again; and a third, which interests itself for the Duke of Orleans, tho' this Prince does not take the least Pains to have a greater Share in the Management of Affairs after the Death of the Cardinal, than he has at present.
