From John Farquharson of Aldlerg,

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.”
