Paris, Feb. 12.  They beat up in several towns in France for
new recruits, which come in apace . . .   [War with Austria
begun; 3 fellows applied, the captain gave them 100 livres
each before discovering they were actually "three strapping
waggish girls"; they disappeared, then were caught; they
would not refund his money, so went to jail and then even
were made to exercise with his troops, but would still not
refund him.]
