Berlin, July 28. Last Saturday evening the marriage of the
Princess Louisa Henrietta Wilhelmina of Brandenberg with the
reigning Prince of Anhalt Dessau was solemnized in the royal
chapel of Charlottenburg, by the Reverend Mr. Sack, first
chaplain to the King of Prussia, at which ceremony his
majesty and the rest of the royal family, the foreign
ministers, and the nobility, assisted.
Yesterday in the evening the ceremony of betrothing and
exchanging of rings between her Royal Highness the Princess
Wilhelmina of Prussia and his Serene Highness the Prince of
Orange was performed at Charlottenburg in the presence of
his Prussian Majesty and the rest of the Royal Family, after
which the French play called Turcaret was acted in the
orangery. The gardens on this occasion were illuminated,
there was a grand supper, and a ball which lasted until this
morning, when the King of Prussia returned to Potzdam.
