Genevet, Feb. 16. YefJerday, at three, a very dangerous feditijf b
out in this city. The design of the pcrlons concerned in it was, to r
der the Council, aftemvards the Bujgefles, and then to make themfi
mailers of the city, in half an hour more, al) had been loft. r IV
three hundred had already begun to fire, but did no other mifchiel
jlightly wounding a few. The alarm was then given, and the gnu
beat. The garrison were in a moment under at ms, and fobr of the fe<
tious laid (lead on the spot. Their main body, which exceeded t
thousand, all aftive, bold persons, was at Fooro. The four Syndic*
office went there, and ordered them to Jay down their arms. The infur
gents refufed ; but the good countenance of the garrison, supported by
party of the BurgeiTes, obliged them to surrender. The ringleaders w? ,
taken and committed to prison, and it is imagined will lofo their heat;
•s well as several others who have hero jull apprehended.
P*rit t Ftb. 19. The following remarkable event has lately happenct
here. The Count d’Estaing havrng bsen informed that there was a man
b >7 rade a took upon him the name and arms of
Easing, the Count font for him, and sfkcd him how he dared to usurp i
name arid armsf The man arrfwered, that he did not usurp them, but
that he derived his right to them from bis father. The Count then to!
him haughtily, that if he did notdefifl from using them he would nuk
htm repent it. The saddler consulted a lawyer upon this affair, whoadvi ;*
ed him not to use the name or arms, unlcfs he could prove his right
them, to the saddler anfwercd, that he was brought up at the
Foundhng-holpital, and tliat of that charity told him, when
he was font from thence, that the name and arms of Eftaing belonged
him. Accordingly, the lawyer went with him to that hospital, and upa
application to the principal dirertor, he produced to them a letter in ti.
hand writing of the late Mr. d’Estaing, declaring that the person in qu -
. j W3B . “ u * on b y a fri/l of mean birtli, whom he had privately mar
ned, which occafioncd his fending the child to the Founding.hofpital.
Some time aicrward* he found means to fatisfy this girl by giving her a
sum of money, and married a laJy of rank and fortune, by whom he had
the present d’Eflaing. The lawyer finding that the last mentione<i
was an illegitimate child, bring the iffoe of a second marriage, when tRe
firft was not set aside, told the saddler to continue the name and armspf
uaing, as he had dona before. The Count d’Eflaing thereupon cauftx
t e man to be cited before the Chatelet; where both panics being heard,
and an authentick copy of the above letter produced, tbe court decided in
favour of tne saddler. The Count has appealed from this fontence, and the
publiel. very impatient to know wkat will be tha itTue of this affair.
