Great Belgrade Fire Drives Emigrants to Seek New Homes
Reports from Zemlin note a large fire leaving half of Belgrade in ashes during the night between the 16th and 2nd of last month. About 160 families, 700 people, depart for Anhalt Zerb, then Lübeck to reach Russia and form a colony, having previously resided in Hungary where the air disagreed with their constitutions. Also from Liege a 108 year old mayor of Covercliffe died, and Naples records the death of Prince de Valle Piccolomini. The Senate appoints two deputations to honor the Infanta of Spain and Princess Louisa of Parma on arrival.
