DEATHS ABROAD. 
On the 8th of Auguf, at Berlin, at the 
age of 77,Prince Henry of Prufiia, brother to 
Frederick the Great, and great-uncle to the 
prefent King. He was diftinguifhed as a 
warrior in the famous feven years confliét of 
1756, and was then yenerally confidered as 
the Fabius of the day, in contraft to the im- 
petuofity of Frederick. He was much con- 
fulted as a ftatefman, till the Treaty of Pil- 
nitz, in 1791, which he totally difapproved, 
and of which he lived to fee the complete 
and difgraceful difappointment. After this 
he appeared very little at Court, poffefling 
a mind adapted to philofophic retirement, 
and viewing, with pity, the late military 
mania of Europe4 Prince Henry was born in 
the year 1726, on the 18th of January, a 
day which has been folemnized during a cen- 
tury, as the Anniverfary of the Foundation 
of the Pruffian Monarchy. This truly he- 
roic Prince and able officer made his firt 
campaign in his 16th year, accompanying the 
royal army into Moravia, as Colonel, in the 
year 1742, and was foon after prefent at the 
victory of Chotufilty. In the war concern. 
ing the Bavarian Succeffion, he again com- 
manded the fecond royal army, and pene- 
trated from Saxeny into Bohemia. In 1776, 
he vifited Stockholm, and thence proceeded 
ro Peterfburg, whence he returned to Berlin, 
in company with the Grand Duke, after- 
wards the Emperor Paul. In 1780 he went 
to Spa, where le had a conference with the 
Emperor Jofeph, and he “afterwards vifited 
France. His character was not only ennobled 
and exalted by virtues, military talents, and 
a large fhare of political penetration, but re- 
fined by mifcellaneous knowledge of every 
kind—by a tafte for fcience and the fine arts 
—and the hero dreaded in the field, was no 
lefs admired in the fociety of genius and 
learning as 2 moft pleafing, polithed, and 
cheerful, companion. — His’ brilliant ‘court 
was an aficmblage of noble and ingenious 
perfons, both from abroad and at home. He 
was 2 great connoifieur in mufic, and had an 
admirable band of muficians for his chapel, 
and entertained an. excellent company of 
French comedians. He difolayed much tate 
and magnificence in embellifhing his palace 
of Reinfherg, prefented to him by his bro- 
Deaths Abroad.

ther, after the peace.of Hubertherg. Its 
romantic fituation favoured the happieft im. 
provements, and the monuments he has, 
erected in the gardens to the memory of 
many of his deferving contemporaries, are the 
faireft{ monuments of his own feeling heart. 
Frederick the Great faid of him, that he had 
not committed a fingle fault through the 
whole feven years war. This Prince, after 
being firft openly expofed to view in the Gim- 
ple uniform of his regiment, was laid in the 
fepulchre, which he, as a hero and a fage, 
long familiar with death, had caufed to be 
built for himfelf two years ago, and pur- 
pofely in fuch a manner, that it was in the 
full view of the windows of his dining-reom: 
Prince Henry was married to herSerene High- 
nels the Princefs Wilhelmina, daughter of 
Maximilian, Landgrave of Heffe Caffel: the 
marriage was confummated at Charto H.- - 
burg, June 25, 1752. As an honour to his 
mémory, the King has ordered, that all ofi- 
cers in the Prufflian armies fhall wear a blaek 
crape on their arm for a fortnight. The 
Court is alfo gone into mourning for the fame 
time. The lofs of this truly great and mag~ 
nanimous Prince is regretted with a grief as 
univerfal as was the affable goodnefs and 
the benevolent humanity of the deceafed. 
He was the benefa€tor, the father and friend 
of the neceffitous and unhappy, who lifted 
up their eyes to him and approached him 
with confidence. He gave to the poor mag, 
the necefiaries—the firft comforts of life; 
but with equal prudence and gentlenefs he 
allured him and his children to induftry. 
He caufed flax and wool to be diftributed ta 
the poor who were able to work, and they 
were paid for the yarn they produced. Other 
poor perfons, particularly children, affembled 
in a f{chool of induftry for the purpofe, were 
employed in knitting ftockings and other ar- 
ticles of apparel out of the yarn, which were 
given to the needy, whom age or ficknefs 
had difqualified for labour. Every year two 
peafant-girls were portioned out with roo dol~ 
lars, and the wedding-expences were de 
frayed by the Prince. The whole funeral 
was fimple, without fhew or pomp, but all 
was done according to direétions in his own 
hand-writing. The epitaph which he com- 
pofedin January, 1801, will be carvedupon 
a large ftone which clofes up the entry of the 
pyramidical fepulchre. ,
