Paris, November 22.  There is a girl now upon our theatre
who is but 21 years of age, seven of which she served as a
dragoon in the regiment of Belsunce. She killed one of her
comrades in a duel, which affair she got the better of; but
in a quarrel since she was wounded herself, which occasioned
the discovery of her sex. She has been presented at Court,
and it is said has had a small place given her in the King's
stables.
