Not Haddick now; with or without their Austrians, it shall be the Russians now! Which Wedell is doing, all this Thursday and the four following days. Straight towards Frankfurt thenceforth; head-quarters Beeskow that night; next night, Mullrose, whither Wedell is appointed, within twelve miles of Frankfurt.
So that, on the eighth day hence, AUGUST 6th, at Mullrose, near Frankfurt, 80 miles from Sagan, there is a second rendezvous, rendezvous of Wedell and Friedrich, who do not now "intersect," but meet after the hunt is done; and in the interim, there has been a wonderful performance, though an unsuccessful. Friedrich never could rightly get hold of his Austrians.
Haddick has been most industrious, 'guarding the Russian flank, standing between the King and it, during that Soltikof march to Mullrose, to Lieberose; but that once done, and the King settled at Waldau, Haddick was ordered to Saxony, against Wunsch and Finck: and readers know already what he made of these Two in the 'Action at Korbitz, September 21st, and shall hear soon what befell Haddick himself in consequence."
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.
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.
