133 (Gross's sudden Departure).] The Second Foreign Event is English, about a week prior in date, and is of still less moment: March 31st, 1751, Prince Fred, the Royal Heir-Apparent, has suddenly died.

Had been ill, more or less, for an eight days past; was now thought better, though "still coughing, and bringing up phlegm,"-- when, on "Wednesday night between nine and ten," in some lengthier fit of that kind, he clapt his hand on his breast; and the terrified valet heard him say, "JE SUIS MORT!"-- and before his poor Wife could run forward with a light, he lay verily dead.
