We left Friedrich in the Lebus Suburb of Frankfurt, Sunday, August 20th, listening to the distant cannonade.
Which has filled everybody with lamentation and horror. And, listen yonder, they are still busy on the solitary Garrison of Custrin; audible enough to Friedrich from his northern or Lebus Suburb, which lies nearest the place, at a distance of some twenty miles.
The King has been punctual to his reckoning: he picked up Wedell at Mullrose, not too cordial to Wedell's people: "None of you speak to those beaten wretches," ordered he; "till perhaps they wipe off their Zullichau stain!" On the 7th, Friedrich advanced to Frankfurt neighborhood; took Camp between Wulkow and Lebus; and has just been out reconnoitring.
And now, after this flight half round the world, it is time we return to Oder Country, and a Friedrich on the edge of formidable things there. Next day after Beeskow, where we left him, he duly arrived at Mullrose; was joined by Wedell there, August 6th; and is now at Wulkow, "encamped between Lebus and Wulkow," as we hear elsewhere; quite in the environs of Frankfurt and of great events.
Finck is due in two days, not here at Lebus precisely, but at another place appointed; Finck will raise him to 50,000; and then business can begin! About Reitwein, between this and Custrin, there arrangements are proceeding, by no means of a showy sort.
"Arnim, deaf to clamor, but steadily diligent in getting ready, does at last go; through the Lebus Suburb, quick march; steady, yet at his best step; taking the Town-keys in his pocket, and leaving the Drawbridge up. One is sorry for poor Arnim and his 400 Militia; whose conduct was perfect, under difficulties and alarms; but proved unsuccessful.
