London, Octob. 7. On Monday last Signior Farinello, the
famous Italian singer, arriv'd from France, about three
months ago he went thither with Prince Contemir, the Russian
Envoy, and during his stay, had the honour to sing twice
before the King, Queen, and all the Court, and had for his
excellent performance a present from his most Christian
Majesty of a fine gold snuff box, with his picture set in
diamonds in the lid, and also a purse of louis d'ors. The
Princess of the Blood, even the old Cardinal de Fleury, and
the other nobility, before whom he sung several times, made
him very generous presents.
