Scantiness of the Dauphiness's Income. Her Influence over the King. The Duc de Choiseul is dismissed. She begins to have Great Influence over the Dauphin.
Scantiness of the Dauphiness's Income. Her Influence over the King. The Duc de Choiseul is dismissed. She begins to have Great Influence over the Dauphin. Mercy's Correspondence with the Empress.
