_Charles_ VI. was then upon the Imperial Throne, who is the second Son of the Emperor _Leopold_: After the Death of _Charles_ II. King of _Spain_, he was own’d King of that Monarchy by all the Princes of the Grand Alliance, and he then took the Name of _Charles_ III. He went to his Kingdom, and shew’d the _Spanish_ Nation, that he was worthy of being their Sovereign. The Death of the Emperor _Joseph_, his Eldest Brother, oblig’d him to return to _Germany_, and when he was at _Genoa_ he heard, that he was chose Emperor. I have already had the Honour to give you an Account of his Coronation. The Reign of this Monarch has been signaliz’d by happy Events; the famous Peace concluded with _France_, restor’d that Tranquillity to the Empire which it had been for a long time depriv’d of, and that which was concluded some Years after with the _Turks_, secur’d the Happiness of _Hungary_, and all the hereditary Dominions. The Name of the Empress is _Elizabeth Christina_ of _Wolfembuttle Blanckenberg_: She is a Princess, who, besides all the Qualities of the Mind, has the most advantagious Aspect: She is the finest Personage at her Court, and ’tis easy to see by her majestic Carriage, that she was form’d by Nature to wear one of the chief Crowns in the World: She is very magnificent in her Apparel, and especially in Diamonds, of which she has to the Value of several Millions, and the Number is daily increasing by considerable Presents she receives from the Emperor. This Prince does Justice to the Merit of his august Spouse, who on her Part makes it her whole Care to give him Proofs of her Affection; ’tis impossible to find a more perfect Unity than that which is between their Imperial Majesties: There are Three Princesses by this Marriage; I had the Honour to see only the Two Eldest, for the Third was born some Years after my Journey to _Vienna_. She that is first in Rank, next to the Empress and the Archduchesses her Daughters, was the Empress, Dowager of the Emperor _Leopold_, _Eleonora Magdalena Theresa_ of _Newbourg_: She was the Mirrour of the whole Court for Piety; for she spent most of her Time in Prayers at the Altars, or else in bestowing Charities, which were always very great. The Greatness of her Birth seem’d to make her uneasy, and she was vex’d to see the Honours which her Rank and Merit had entail’d upon her; she dy’d in a very advanc’d Age: She had several Princes and Princesses by the Emperor _Leopold_, as 1. _Joseph-Jacob_, who dy’d Emperor at _Vienna_, the 17th of _April_ 1711. 2. _Charles_, the present Emperor, and Three Archduchesses; the one marry’d to the King of _Portugal_; another, Governess of the _Netherlands_; and the Third, who resides at the Court of _Vienna_.
