He denied it, 183 and substituted other expressions. . . It is true, said he, I may have said that as you were in the English service, you must of course be in the English interest. " Were those the expressions the Mar- quis made use of?" said the officer to his informer. The informer repeated what he had heard the Marquis say, and the officer immediately called the Marquis a liar, a scoundrel, and a coward, and beat him. The house was immediately in an uproar ; the doors were fastened, and the... servants came up with their knives.

The news soon got abroad, and the Marquis has been put under arrest, by order of the Court, to prevent any serious conse- quences. We dined the same day at the Ambas- sador's, in company with the Swiss, and w r ent to the opera afterwards. My uncle, who is well acquainted with the manners 184 of these countries, observed three men dogging us from the house. They fol- lowed us a long way, but left us at last, after looking very earnestly at us.
