The New Hampshire Gazette

May 6. By a Letter from Paris we are informed that on the arrival of the Marquis de Vaudreuil in France, from his late Government of Canada, he was sent for immediately to Court, in order to give an Account of his Conduct in that Department, when several Officers appearing against him, and charging him with bad Management, &c. in his Proceedings against the English, he was committed Prisoner to the Bastile, where he now lies. The Bishop d'Autun, First Almoner to the King, interceded for him, and spoke very strongly in his Favour, saying, that he had acted with spirit in the Service of his Country; and, if it did not meet with that Success he meant, it was not his Fault: Adding, that the Marquis had Enemies, who were much more deserving of being Sent to the Bastile. This Freedom, however, was So far from being of Service to the Marquis, that, according to these Letters, the good Bishop himself got severely reprimanded, and has been ordered to quit the Court, and confine himself entirely to his own Diocese.
