Private letters from Paris mention, that Madam Sallee, the
famous dancer, so well known for the coolness of her
passions, and who values her self at a very high rate for
her vestal pretences, has instituted an order at Paris by
the name of the Indifferents, into which both men and women
are indiscriminately admitted.  Mademoiselle Sallee is the
President of the Order, and upon the introduction of every
member, makes a nice scrutiny into their qualifications. 
There are likewise certain rites performed, which, after the
manner of the Free Masons, no one must disclose.  The badge
of the order, is a ribbon, strip'd black, white, and yellow,
and the devise affixed to it, something resembling an
isicle.  They allow all freedom amongst themselves, where
every thing is to be in common; but the hour the parties
grow particular, he or she, is to be excluded with infamy.
