From the London Chronicle. . . [7 lines, narrative of
difficulties of Prince Charles Edward Stuart in France.]
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 Lewis 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, and carried as a traitor to one of the state prisons,
not many miles from that capital. . . [3/4 column]
