From the London Chronicle. . . The account lately given in
all our public papers, relative to a certain Prince of the
house of Stuart having been seen at Paris and Versailles,
and the particular cause of his journey thither, hath been
entirely misinterpreted, and seems totally to have been
misunderstood. To give your readers then some insight into
this cabinet secret, they must be told, that when this
unfortunate Prince, after his precipitate and providential
escape from the mountains of Scotland, had taken refuge at
Paris, under the protection of our good friend and ally
Louis the fifteenth, it is well known he was seized one
evening by a military guard, as he was coming out of the
opera house in Paris. . . [58 lines describing Prince
Charles' imprisonment and parole] [signed] Your old
correspondent at Paris.
