Dusseldorph, April 26. . . A very remarkable affair happened
a few days ago at Wattenschegdt, a small town in the
territories of Prussia, whereof the following are the
particulars. A niece of the famous King Theodore going into
a church there to make a publick abjuration of the reform'd
religion, and embrace the Roman Catholick, some Prussian
officers who were recruiting there, went into the church
sword in hand, and carried off the young proselyte by force.
Hereupon the alarm bell was rung, which drew every body
together, and a skirmish ensued. . .
