Paris, June 29. N.S... [4 lines] Some days ago the King
perform'd an exercise upon his terrass, with above forty
young lords; the Marquis de Villeroy was drummer :  As his
Majesty was marching at their head with a half pike in his
hand, he said, There must be a detachment made of three men
and two officers to form a new company ; . . . [5 lines] 
His Majesty gives every day some instances of a very
promising genius, and worthy of his royal ancestors.
