Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

Yesterday a messenger arrived at the Secretary of State's office, with the important advice of the death of FREDERICK the Third, KING OF PRUSSIA, which happened on Friday last. Frederick the Great was born on the 24th of January, 1712. He married on the 12th of June, 1733, Elizabeth Christiana, of Brunswick Wolfenbuttle: Frederick III. was born on the 25th of September, 1744. He married July 14, 1762, first, the Princess Elizabeth Christina Ulrica, of Brunswick Wolfenbuttle: And secondly, on the 18th of July, 1769, Frederick Louisa, of Hesse Darmstadt, and he has issue by both marriages.

The death of the King of Prussia will considerably affect the politics of Europe. It is an event for which the nations have been preparing for many months, and which will not be suffered to pass over unimproved. The Emperor will now, perhaps, find other employment for his troops than merely preparing them for war; and he will give an opportunity to the new King to illustrate his character. It is said of Frederick III. that he possesses the strong features of his Uncle's character: That he has imbibed his politics, and will religiously follow his footsteps. If he does not, what will become of the embarrassed Stadtholder?
