Description[Perhaps you have already heard of Mr. Panchaud’s death. They write from Paris that things begin to be quiet: Mr. Necker had been found and accepts the place he formerly held and was hourly expected at Versailles: the French build sanguine expectations on his resumption of power: time will shew for there remains much to be done. I suppose you cannot have overlooked the particulars of the shocking murder of Mr. Foulon and his son-in-law Bertier de Sauvigny on the Place de Grève: the latter you were much pleased with and civil to at Soho in 1785: you may remember him by his warmly interesting himself in the treatment you had then experienced from Perier.]
