He did not like his wine

Extract of a Letter from Paris, Dec. 23.

"On Friday last a very extraordinary event happened at the Duke de la Valliere's. The Marquis de Sorba, Minister from the Republic of Genoa, was at dinner with him, when one of the company at table told the duke that he did not like his wine, which had a particular taste, and whilst the duke was answering him, M. de Sorba fell down dead, without uttering a word."
