London, June 12. Private letters from Paris mention, that
Madam. Salle, the famous dancer, so well known for the
coolness of her passions, and who values her self at a very
high rate for her verbal pretenses, has instituted an order,
by the name of the Indifferents, into which both men and
women are indiscriminately admitted. Madam. Salle is
President of the Order, and upon the introduction of every
member, makes a nice scrutiny into their qualifications.
There are likewise certain rites performed, which, after the
manner of the Free Masons, no one must ever disclose. The
badge of the order is a ribbon, strip'd black, white, and
yellow. They take an oath to fight against love, whose
power they renounce, and defy his whole quiver of darts.
They allow all freedom among themselves, where everything is
to be in common; but the hour any of the parties grow
particular, he or she is to be excluded with infamy.
