I cannot beleev that a person that has your reputation in the world would follow the steps of Monsr. Denonville in reply denied that he meant to build a fort at Niagara, and warned Dongan not to believe the stories told him by French deserters.
The French, in undertaking to reconstruct the Suez canal, have had much to encounter from the unfriendly commercial policy of the English and their influence over the internal affairs of Egypt, but the unwearied energy and great talent of Monsr. de Lesseps and the patriotism of the French nation have at last succeeded in bringing their great work to a successful close.
You would oblige me by forwarding it to your agent in Paris, the address is Monsr. Vidocq, Galerie Vivienne, No. 13 . . . V. is a strange fellow, and amongst other things dabbles in literature. He is meditating a work upon Les Bohemiens, about whom I see he knows nothing at all.

St. Contest, who is a creature of Puysieux.

I durst not venture to sollicite in Monsr Roux Marsilly's behalfe because I doe not know whether the King my Master hath imployed him or noe; besides he is a man as I have been tolde by many people here of worth, that has given out that he is resolved to kill the French king at one time or other, and I think such men are as dangerous to one king as to another: hee is brought to the Bastille and I believe may be proceeded against and put to death, in very few daies.
We visited Jean Vigné in order, as he was one of the oldest inhabitants, to obtain from him information on various matters relating to the country. 28th, Thursday. We remained at home to-day. I performed some little errands. Monsr. de La Grange called upon us, dressed up like a great fop, as he was. My comrade did not fail to speak to him seriously on the subject.
