Brussels, Septemb. 16. On Wednesday last was celebrated, at
our court, with the utmost magnificence the birth-day of her
most serene Highness the Arch-Dutchess Maria-Anna of
Austria, their Imperial Catholick Majesties second daughter,
who then entered the 12th year. Her most serene Highness,
our arch-dutchess governor, received on this occasion, the
compliments of all the nobility in their festival habits;
and towards the evening she went to the great theatre to see
the Italian opera. At her return she met the Holy Viaticum,
carrying to a sick person by the curate of the parochial
church of St. James van Cauberg: Her Highness immediately
came out of her coach, and accompanied our good Lord to the
house of the said patient, and thence back again to the said
parochial church, with a taper in her hand, imitating
therein the piety and devotion of her august ancestors.
