At Griefenberg stood the Battalion Duringshofen, with its Colonel of the same name, grenadier people of good quality, perhaps near 1,000 in whole. This, I suppose, had quickened Friedrich's arrival. He has been in that region ever since, in Landshut for the last week or two; and returns thither after the Deville affair.
It was from this Landshut region, where his main cantonments are, that Friedrich had witnessed all these Inroads, or all except the very earliest of them; the first Erfurt one, and the Wobersnow-Sulkowski. He had quitted Breslau in the end of March, and gone to his cantonments; quickened thither, probably, by a stroke that had befallen him at Griefenberg, on his Silesian side of the Cordon.
On the other hand, the Austrian army, under the command of mareschal Daun, was assembled at Munchengratz, in Bohemia; and the campaign was opened by an exploit of general Beck, who surprised and made prisoners a battalion of Prussian grenadiers, posted under colonel Duringsheven, at Griefenberg, on the frontiers of Silesia.
