Hague Sept. 13. . . They write from Paris, that poor
Punchinello in the puppet shew at S. Laurence's fair had
been seized and committed, for unadvisedly speaking of the
battle of Parma. Punch appeared upon the stage in a very
great heat, with a lanthorn in his hand, to examine whether
he had gained the victory in a great battle he had fought.
After he had looked all over the field of battle, he sent
for his secretary to write to court. The spectators
observed the raillery, and laughed at the expense of the
General, the Marshal de Coigny.
