Paris, October 31. A man arrived at Fontainbleau with a
Turkish horse, caused him to make several tours in the
chamber of the Duke de Gesvres, in presence of several
Lords; this horse flies through a hoop, dances in his
manner, knows the cards, and the hours of a watch, and fires
off a pistol. He made him afterwards go up the stairs of
the Queen's Gallery, which is very high, and enter into the
apartment of the Dutchess of Boufflers, where he performed
the same exercise; as he did next day in the Queen's
Chamber, and the King's cabinet, in their Majesties
presence.
