[London] Marshal Saxe, whose death we mentioned last month,
after the conclusion of the late war, in which he gained so
much honour, retired to Chambord, where he lived like a
sovereign Prince, having his regiments of dragoons and
Uhlans, and his guards. He had augmented and beautified
that castle, having cause stables and barracks to be built
there, and an hospital for the sick. Also a theatre, the
decorations of which cost more than 60, 000 livres. His
company of players was composed of excellent actors and
actresses, and he has in his kitchen thirty-five cooks, &c.
