The archbishopric of Paris was given to a brother of the Duc de Noailles- the Bishop of Chalons-sur-Marne M. de Noailles thus reaping the fruit of his wise sacrifice to M. de Vendome, before related.

Till within the last few months I remained with him; and only left my employment to enter, by my master's own desire, the house of his brother, established also as a silk-mercer, at Chalons-sur-Marne.
