Vienna, October 1.  On Monday last the empress Queen gave a
dinner, in the grand gallery of the castle of Schonbrun, to
65 little boys and girls, who had been inoculated in the
hospital of Meydling, prior to the inoculation of the
archdukes and archdutchess Theresa.  Her majesty, and their
royal highnesses the archdukes and archdutchesses, waited on
the children at table, and afterwards gave to each a crown
of the value of two florins.  Their parents were also
entertained at another table in the castle, after which they
were present at a German comedy, within the limits of
Schonbrun; and at their return musical instruments were sent
to them, and they danced until night.
