Gazette Of The United States

QUEEN OF FRANCE.

There are now circulating in the fashionable circles of this country, private Memoirs of her Majesty of France. We have been favored with the sight of a copy; they are printed at a private press, and evidently drawn up by a master's hand, and one deeply in the secret: allowing party or prejudice, or perhaps a sense of private injuries, to have aggravated matters, there still remains a complication of intrigue, political as well as amorous enough to have justified a dozen revolutions.

The Duke de Coligny, of whom we now hear so little, was it seems, for many years the private spring which regulated the vast machine of France. We venture now to expatiate on particulars, because no English jury has at present determined that truth is no libel. Some intercepted letters are also printed in the above publication betwixt Zephyr and Flora;—more tender or impassioned compositions were hardly ever seen. Zephyr is an officer of high rank in the Swedish service, and who Flora is our readers may guess: much light is also thrown upon the mysterious affair of the necklace, which seems destined to undergo still farther investigation.
