No sport is at its best without interruption and contrast. To appreciate wading, one ought to climb a little on odd days. Isehl is about ten or twelve miles below Hallstatt, in the valley of the Traun. It is the fashionable summer-resort of Austria. I found it in the high tide of amusement.
And rushed off accordingly, in a somewhat flamy humor; but at Schweidnitz, where the Old Dessauer met him again, became convinced that the matter was weightier than he thought; not one of Tolpatchery alone, but had Traun himself in it. Upon which Friedrich candidly drew bridle; hastened back, and, with a loss of four days, was at his Potsdam Affairs again.
Count Gages repassed the Penaro; retreated suddenly from Bologna; and marched to Rimini in the ecclesiastical state, where he fortified his camp in an advantageous situation, after having suffered severely by desertion. Count Traun remained inactive in the Modenese till September, when he resigned his command to prince Lobkowitz.
Through the two side angles came the Traun and his tributary the Ischl, while the little town of Ischl lay in the centre. Within a few years this has become a very fashionable bathing place, and the influx of rich visitors, which in the summer sometimes amounts to two thousand, has entirely destroyed the primitive simplicity the inhabitants originally possessed.
Traun held leftward, westward, as if for the Neckar Valley, 'Perhaps intending to be through upon Elsass, in those southern undefended portions of the Rhine? Conti, and his Segur, and Middle-Rhine Army stood diligently on their guard; got their forces, defences, apparatuses, hurried southward, from Frankfurt quarter where they lay on watch, into those Neckar regions.
Prince Karl "who arrived in Olmutz April 30th," commands in chief again, saddened, poor man, by the loss of his young Wife, in December last; willing to still his grief in action for the cause SHE loved; but old Traun is not with him this year: which is a still more material circumstance.
No cautious sagacious old Feldmarschall Traun is in that Host at present; nothing but a Prince Karl, and a poor Duke of Weissenfels; who are too certain of several things; very capable of certainty, and also of doubt, the wrong way of the facts.
Learning the truth, he turned again and recrossed the Inn; thence he continued to withdraw, stopping an instant at the Traun to avail himself of a strong position and hold the line if Charles were perchance coming thither to join him. At Ebelsberg, on May third, he made a splendid and momentarily successful resistance, but was overwhelmed by superior numbers.
Thenceforward, not a successfully managed campaign on Frederick's part, admirably conducted on the other side by Traun. This campaign the king's school in the art of war, and M. de Traun his teacher so Frederick himself admits. Austria is now sure to invade Silesia; will Frederick not block the passes against Prince Karl, now having no Traun under his cloak?
I laid that vintage down to give you a lesson to show you that my plans come safe to maturity, I credited him with a large share of foresight, though I well knew his habit of antedating his sagacity, and could not but smile at the illustration of it. You perceive my state without rendering it necessary for me to label myself. I saw her next in a pinewood between Ischl and the Traun.
