Breslau, March 15. It being his Majesty's intention that the
inhabitants of this city, and strangers too, shall have as
much pleasure as possible in it during the time of the fair,
it is order'd that in the first and second week there shall
be a Ridotto at the Town House on Sundays and Wednesdays, a
grand Concerto on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and a French or
German play five days in the week. But while we are thus
preparing to be very gay and merry, news in come that the
River Neiss has overflow'd its banks, and laid several towns
and villages under water: So that the soberest part of us
begin to think the court would do well to lay aside these
expensive diversions, for the present at least, and apply
the money to the relief of the poor suffering inhabitants in
the country.
