Rotterdam, March 5. Yesterday being the birth-day of the
Queen of Great Britain, Mr. Wolters, his Britannick
Majesty's agent, gave a splendid entertainment upon that
occasion:. . .
Upon the Maese, over against the house, was a yatcht,
adorn'd with streamers and lanthorns; and at the top-mast
head was a machine, where, by the help of an illumination,
were seen these word in great capital letters, with a crown
over them. Vivat Wilhelmina Carolina Regina.
By the side of the yatcht, on board of which were several
trumpets, kettle drums, and French horns, a stage was
erected, from whence a great number of rockets and other
fire-works were play'd off. . .
