Altena, November 4. We have been set right in several
particulars relating to the late hostile visit paid to
Berlin. The apartments of the Royal Castle were not
stripped. . . [9 lines, correcting some of the negative
reports]
It is further related of Prince Esterhasi, an Austrian
Major-General, who commanded at Potzdam, and that
neighbourhood, and who is much commended by the Prussians
for the good discipline he cause to be observed: That
having examined the magnificent castle of Sans Souci, he
asked that picture of the King of Prussia, which resembled
him most; but that a good one not being readily found, he
asked another, with two German flutes which his Majesty
used, to keep them, he said, in memory of his Majesty.
