From John Farquharson of Aldlerg,

“Dun-
kerque
, April 9th, 1769. From Rome, March
16
.
We can assure the PublickPublic, that the
Chevalier de St George has put away
all his Scots Attendants. The Reason of
this sudden Change is yet a Secret, tho’though
it occasions great Speculations, with some
Grumbling. From Vienna: ’Tis now no Se-
cret
, that the Emperor has gone to Rome,
some say, to take possession of some
Temporals formerly given by his pre-
decessors
to the Pope, others, to be crown’dcrowned
King of the Romans; &and some say, Out of
meermere Curiosity to see yethe Election of a
new Pope.”
