Yesterday at six in the morning a courier from Orangeburgh immersed us in the deepest sorrow, by bringing us the melancholy news of the death of a Prince, whose memory, ever dear to the country, will at all times put us in mind of so considerable a loss. In short, with extreme affliction we have heard that his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia after a few days illness, expired the 12th of this month at three o'clock in the morning, in the 36th year of his age, being born the 9th of August, 1722. In the midst of successes with which the Almighty is pleased to bless the justice of our arms, this grievous loss leaves no room for any sensation but the most pungent regret. Heaven grant that the young Prince may tread in the steps of a father who has been admired by Europe, and adored by the faithful subjects of his august brother, and whose death draws floods of tears from their eyes.
