Paris, September 17. On the 13th, about half an hour past
one in the morning, after a labour of ten minutes, the
Dauphiness was delivered of a Prince; with the news of which
joyful event a person of quality was dispatched to the
guildhall of Paris, where the bells were immediately rung,
and the people flocking thither, money was thrown among them
. . . the ringing continued four days, without intermission
. . . [14 lines, celebrations]
The musicians of the Royal Academy of Musick gave an
opera gratis on this occasion; which example was followed by
the French and Italian theatres.
