[52] This is Augustus-Lewis, who in 1728, succeeded his Brother Leopold. His second Wife Emilia of Promnitz, dying in 1732, he marry'd his Sister Ann-Frederica of Promnitz; which Match, at that time, made a very great Noise. The Curious are referr'd to a Paper call'd le Glaneur, or the Gleaner, published in 1733, for what was said upon it. This Prince has had Children, by his three Wives; and two Sons in particular by his second.

[54] He had been in the King's Service ever since he was only Prince of Saxony, and always took care to keep in Favour; he being, of all the Favourites, the Person that had the greatest Share of the Prince's Confidence: Nevertheless, he ow'd his Advancement, and his illustrious Post of Minister of the Cabinet, to the Interest of the Countess de Cosel, who caus'd the Chancellor Beichling, who had always been the Favourite Minister, to be turn'd out.
[55] This part of the Prophecy did not take place, for the King of Poland died in his Bed at Warsaw the 1st of Feb. 1733, O. S. This Monarch set out in the Month of January, from Dresden, to hold the Dyet of Poland, which was open'd at Warsaw, and every thing seem'd like to pass to the Satisfaction of the King and Kingdom, when these fine Hopes were demolished by the Death of this Prince, who in his last Sickness, preserved the Character of the Hero, betraying neither Fear nor Folly; all his Wish being that he might live to embrace his Son.
The King found himself in a declining State, several Years. During the last Dyet at Grodno, a Mortification seiz'd his Foot; for which reason, M. de Petit, a Surgeon of Paris, whom the King sent for on purpose, cut off two Toes, and set his Majesty upon his Legs again, but told him withall, he must observe such a Regimen as he prescribed to him, or else it would break out again. But the King finding himself better, neglected Petit's Advice, and died of the Mortification, as the Surgeon had foretold.

[58] The Electoral Prince (now Elector of Saxony and King of Poland) has eight Children, viz. three Princes and five Princesses; so that the Electoral Branch is not like to be extinct very soon.
[59] The Velt-Marshal the Count de Wackerbarth being dead, the Elector nam'd this Prince Generalissimo of the Troops of the Electorate in 1734.
