In order to intimate that a young man should not be so absurd as to believe that he deserved a rather higher salary after such a decisive verdict had issued from the lips of a prince. This has induced me to sanction my son giving up his present situation. Wasserburg, Sept. 23, 1777. Mon Tres-Cher Pere, God be praised! we reached Waging, Stain, Ferbertshaim, and Wasserburg safely.
He, moreover, gratified Austria by the extension of her western frontier, so long the object of her ambition, by the possession of the archbishopric of Salzburg and of a part of Bavaria with the town of Wasserburg. The sole object of these concessions was provisionally to dispose Austria in favor of France, and to render Prussia's ancient jealousy of Austria implacable.
The ruins of his castle stand on the rock above, and the caverns hewn in the sides of the precipice, where he used to confine his prisoners, are still visible. Walking on through a pleasant, well-cultivated country, we came to Wasserburg, on the Inn. The situation of the city is peculiar.
Well, this is the will of God; no doubt all will go on right. I hope to hear that papa is as well as I am and as happy. At the Stern, in Wasserburg, we are capitally served; I am treated here like a prince. Mamma is just going to bed. I kiss papa's hands a thousand times, and embrace my SISTER MADCAP as often as I have to-day taken snuff. My pen is rude, and I am not refined.
Finally he claimed the cloister of Wasserburg and the province of Germersheim, and pushed his greed and arrogance to such a height, that Germany at last awakened from her lethargy, and found resolution enough to protest against the aggressions of this royal robber. Louis, in return, proposed to call a universal council at Frankfort, and have his claims investigated.
The Inn has gradually worn his channel deeper in the sandy soil, so that he now flows at the bottom of a glen, a hundred feet below the plains around. Wasserburg lies in a basin, formed by the change of the current, which flows around it like a horseshoe, leaving only a narrow neck of land which connects it with the country above.
From Wasserburg I thought I never could arrive in Munich with whole bones, and during two stages I held on by the straps, suspended in the air and not venturing to sit down. But no matter; it is past now, though it will serve me as a warning in future rather to go on foot than drive in a diligence. Now as to Munich. Next morning I went there with Becke.
