The death of a young Prince, adored by the Army and the People, would at any time be a serious loss to the House x,)f Au stria, but in the present critical, and embarassing circumstances in which the Peace of Luneoille and the death of PAUL have placed the alfairs of Ger many, the loss of Pstulct CHARLES would be particularly fital and to be-regretted.
