ABout the latter end of the last Month three Persons of Quality were seized and committed to Prison at Paris, for a bold Attempt upon the Glory of Lewis the Great, the French King, especially at such a ticklish juncture of time as this is, when prophetick Hints are very ungrateful, now his ambitious Designs seem to incline to a Period.

They were, the Baron of Killingsang, a German; with the Mar­quis de Pissentieux, and Monsieur de Feuillages, both Frenchmen; and their Crime no less than the Pasquinading the King out of his Title to his Crown, by comparing him with two other Competitors: The Pasquil was in two Languages, French and Latin, which for the satisfaction of the English Reader, is now by an ingenious Pen translated into the third; all which are here subjoined.

For the unpardonable Offence of being the Authors, and of hav­ing affix'd this Satyr upon the French King's Statue, erected by the Duke de Feuillade in the Place des Victoires at Paris: The three Gentle­men were shortly after brought to a Tryal, and after a most severe Enquiry and Examination, by way of the most exquisite Torture, two of them, to wit, the Marquis de Pissentieux, and the Baron of Killingsang, were convicted and sentenced to Death, the third being acquitted for want of the least Proof, which in that Case would have been sufficient.

According to the Sentence pronounced against these two unfor­tunate, though well-meaning Gentlemen, they were on the 8th. of this instant August hanged in the place where they had affronted the King in his Statue, and afterwards quartered, their Quarters being ordered to be publickly exposed a Fortnight to the view of the People, in the Avenues of the place, which is a Spectacle so nau­seous, that 'tis supposed, few will be invited to gaze at it.
